Thanksgiving Shopping: Slate Finally Finds Something It Considers Indecent

Last updated on: November 25, 2015 at 5:34 pm By Kate O'Hare

A correspondent for the very progressive Website Slate has a problem with shopping on Thanksgiving, and he has the usual progressive answer to it, in a story called “Be a Decent Human Being and Don’t Go Shopping on Thanksgiving”: We could try to solve this problem with regulation. Massachusetts, Maine, and Rhode Island ban stores from opening on Thanksgiving. A state lawmaker in Ohio has introduced a bill that would force stores to pay employees triple wages for working on the holiday and... Read more

No Abortion ‘Scandal,’ Just a Baby Boy Left in a Nativity Scene

Last updated on: November 24, 2015 at 6:40 pm By Kate O'Hare

While TV writer/producer Shonda Rhimes is called “brave” for having her wealthy, privileged lead character in the ABC drama “Scandal” have an abortion, to the tune of “Silent Night,” one anonymous woman showed more courage than the fictional Olivia Pope could even imagine. I don’t know who she is, but she endured a pregnancy, which was no doubt difficult and scary, and then gave birth under unfortunate circumstances. We know this, because the child — a baby boy, with the... Read more

‘Scandal’ and Abortion: Offense Intended?

Last updated on: November 25, 2015 at 6:36 pm By Kate O'Hare

I’m not here to debate abortion (my opinion is not a secret; you’re entitled to yours) or whether TV characters should have them (especially since they’re not real people, and I have enough trouble these days worrying about the problems of actual human beings). But I am here to call BS on Hollywood. Over the last few months, I’ve been doing a series of interviews on the role spirituality plays in scripted television, for an upcoming book. One of the...

History and Chant With the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey

Last updated on: November 20, 2015 at 11:36 am By Kate O'Hare

One of the great Catholic treasures of Southern California is St. Michael’s Abbey in Orange County, south of Los Angeles (and, ironically, not far from the mega-campus of Saddleback Church). Situated on top of a hill, St. Michael’s encompasses a church, gardens, housing for the Norbertines in various states of formation — from postulants to priests — and a live-in school for boys. A new location is under construction in a nearby area that’s more geologically stable, with the current location... Read more

Jared Fogle Is Sentenced to Prison — But Still a Victim in His Own Mind

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 12:35 pm By Kate O'Hare

On the surface, Jared Fogle looked like a winner. Through a diet that consisted largely of Subway sandwiches, he lost 245 pounds, became a national pitchman for the food chain, married two women and had two children. But under it all, he was always a sick man — not as much in his body as in his mind and soul. After pleading guilty on child pornography and sex charges involving minors, Fogle was sentenced on Thursday, Nov. 19, to 15-1/2... Read more

FX’s adaptation of “Fargo,” currently in its second season on Mondays, has turned out to be both a critical and ratings hit.

ISIS Terror in Paris, III: Is the Eldest Daughter Coming Home?

Last updated on: November 17, 2015 at 7:15 pm By Kate O'Hare

Beginning with the French Revolution, France, the Eldest Daughter of the Church — with a Catholic history that stretches back to the 2nd Century — has been drifting further and further from her Mother, with the magnificent Cathedral of Notre Dame becoming as much just a tourist attraction as a house of worship. But in the wake of the horrific Islamist terrorist attacks in Paris on Nov. 13, Archbishop of Paris Cardinal Andre Vignt-Trois offered a memorial Mass on Nov. 15 at Notre... Read more
