Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 7:15 pm By Sam Rocha

My latest post at Formative Justice is a review of the Simpsons short film — The Simpsons: The Longest Daycare — that precedes Ice Age 4. I took the boys to see it today and found it provocative — and reminiscent of a sad, beautiful memory. Read more

Here is the lecture I gave yesterday at the Catholic Church of St. Paul in Ham Lake, Minnesota entitled “Liturgy as Mystagogy: Why We Must Dance to a Catholic Beat.” It follows the notes below: I. Preface My previous lecture’s principle argument—that the heart is fundamentally superior to the head, that Love is sufficient to being and becoming a human person—should primarily say something about beauty. I want to introduce today’s lecture by proposing the following relationship and order between... Read more

For me, the fantastic was perfectly natural; I had no doubts at all. That’s the way things were. When I gave those kinds of books to my friends, they’d say, “But no, we prefer to read cowboy stories.” Cowboys were especially popular at the time. I didn’t understand that. I preferred the world of the supernatural, of the fantastic. Julio Cortázar, interviewed in the Paris Review. Read more

Respect for the Sanctity of Life Requires a Holistic, Catholic Approach

Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 7:10 pm By Sam Rocha

I am sometimes accused of holding positions that are so highly idiosyncratic, no one else could possibly share my view. This is, of course, a backhanded way of saying that I am simply ridiculous, without engaging my position. It is also untrue and dishonest disengagement posing as dialogue. Sadly, this often comes from those who have the most direct access to the only descriptive label I am willing to attach to my worldview: Catholic. Among Catholics, especially during election cycles, the question... Read more

I opted against doing the live recording, mostly because I won’t have time to edit it into tracks, so here’s a video recording instead. Several of the new songs are performed here, especially towards the end of the performance. Read more

The rest of the set list will be taken from Freedom for Love (that can be heard for free at Soundcloud) and a few standards and covers. Aliens Aliens come and go in... Read more
