What Should I Wear to Church?

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 12:09 am   By Lauren Rambo

The tech boom of the 90s was a heady time of enormous newfound wealth and human progress. However, in 2001, the spectacular bubble burst after years of euphoric investors bidding up shoddy dot-coms with no earnings and no profitability in sight. The momentary millionaires and billionaires were gone. Pets.com, once a Wall Street darling, failed completely and left investors empty-handed. But the tech boom did leave behind a surprising legacy that continues nearly two decades later: super casual clothing. The... Read more

Every Sunday Is a Little Easter Sunday

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 12:57 pm   By Jewel Evans

In a few days, it will be Easter Sunday, which, for many years now, has been the holiday I most look forward to celebrating. Growing up, it was customary in my family for the kids to get a new outfit for Easter and to wake up that morning to a basket full of candy. There was the special Friday evening service at church, and the traditional Easter sermon text on Sunday morning. When my nieces came along and were old enough,... Read more

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn’t find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms. This week’s theme is Musicals. Q 1. How to become a catholic priest with a wife? Become an Anglican. Q 2. Kiddy holocaust poems? I recommend the Children’s Collection of... Read more

The Moviegoer: This is [Not] a Film

Last updated on: April 30, 2013 at 7:53 pm   By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. Editor’s Note: This is Not a Film is available via Netflix DVD service. One of Iran’s acclaimed directors, Jafar Panahi, is arrested on March 1, 2010. Often critical of the Iranian government, Panahi is charged with collusion with the intent of committing crime against national security and of “propaganda against the Islamic Republic.” Due to international outcry, he is released from prison after three months but then eventually convicted... Read more

Don’t Worry, Vicky (An Open Letter to Victoria’s Secret)

Last updated on: March 28, 2013 at 8:54 am   By Amy Lepine Peterson

Dear Vicky, I know it’s been a rough week for you.  That blog post about your “Bright Young Things” advertising campaign went viral, and suddenly parents everywhere are freaking out thinking that you want to sell bras and underwear – and a sexy image – to teen and preteen girls. But relax. You’re not doing anything wrong. I mean, first of all, you’re not actually trying to hook the tween market. The Victoria’s Secret PINK line that you’re advertising is... Read more

“Call the Midwife” Celebrates Life from Beginning to End

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 10:30 pm   By Geoffrey Reiter

It is perhaps appropriate that American PBS stations should be premiering the second season of the British drama Call the Midwife on Easter Sunday.  As the commemoration of Christ’s resurrections, Easter carries with it connotations of the preciousness of life—embodied life—consonant with the beginning of the spring season.  And Call the Midwife is a show deeply interested in the entire sweep of human life. Call the Midwife quickly became a hit in England, rivaling Downton Abbey in popularity, and its first... Read more

The Landslide of Terror: Living in This Present Darkness

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 5:02 am   By Nick Rynerson

This week I was leisurely skimming through music performances on YouTube. It was nice, one of those times when one good song leads to another good song and so on. At the time, I was looking for new country covers of classic songs. I had just finished up with an absolutely wonderful cover of Gram Parson’s “Sin City” and was moving on to the Dixie Chicks’ version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” when this came out of my computer: Yeah. Weren’t... Read more
