Having it all: Liz Lemon Can’t Do It Either – UPDATE

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

“Sandwich Day” is one of my favorite episodes of 30 Rock. On the set of The Girlie Show, “sandwich day” is “the most magical day of the year,” says the slovenly writer, Frank. It’s the day when the Teamsters treat the staff to sandwiches purchased from a Brooklyn deli whose location is kept a strict secret. When the greedy staff eats Liz Lemon’s sandwich, she flips out: The writers beat the Teamsters in a drinking contest, get a new sandwich... Read more

Palate Cleanser – UPDATED

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

What a heavy office, and our dear papa at age 85 remains faithful to it. There is no rest, no day off. As with his predecessor and so many of our saints, he offered himself to God, and God is using him up to his last ember. “The church is not a community of the perfect.” Pray for him. UPDATE: If you need more cleansing go here. Kitty! Read more

Did Roberts just give Obama the bird? – UPDATED

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Just a thought that occurred to me after I’d done some reading around the internets, particularly this, this and this. Is it possible that Roberts, concerned by threats from the left that they would de-legitimize the court if it struck down Obamacare, reasoned as he did to both give the GOP a workable means of repealing the thing through legislation while also utterly defanging those threats? After all, if you look at the people screaming about the court yesterday, they’re... Read more

SCOTUS Ruling: Bring on Kate Smith & Reactions UPDATED

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

:::Welcome Instapundit readers::: Please check out my update, which wonders whether Obama just got waved on. And thanks, Glenn Reynolds! – – – – – I am amusedly watching the reactions of the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare — where yesterday’s “extremist activist court” is suddenly a model of humility and judicial restraint — and remembering this piece Reason put up yesterday, and I’m thinking of Kate Smith who would sing, “what a difference a day makes…24 little hours…” If you’re...

In other News, Fulton Sheen is “Venerable” UPDATED

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 4:26 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

While the SCOTUS ruling was breaking, this story came over the wires, too: Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen is now “Venerable” after the Vatican announced today that Benedict XVI had signed a decree recognising that the archbishop heroically lived Christian virtues. The announcement of the decree marks a significant step in the canonization cause of Peoria, Ill.-born Archbishop Sheen (1895-1979), the Emmy award-winning televangelist whose program, “Life is Worth Living,” was broadcast from 1951 to 1957. The Vatican... Read more

St. Thomas More and a Letter

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Kathy Schiffer is using the Fortnight for Freedom to bring out some of the church’s well-and-lesser-known freedom fighters. Today she is serving up Saint Thomas More: From prison, More spoke out strongly against Henry VIII’s marriage, calling the King’s Act of Supremacy “contrary to the laws of God and his holy Church.” More explained that no temporal prince could take away the prerogatives that belonged to St. Peter and his successors, according to the words of Christ. Although most of... Read more

Kraft Goes Gay Pride: Protestant Potlucks Hardest Hit

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

It slipped my notice that Kraft Foods had photoshopped an Oreo with gay-pride colors for an ad. Thank God it’s not a real cookie; Michael Bloomberg would be so torn! On the one hand, it’s disgusting-looking; it looks like it would throw one into diabetic coma while also causing cancer from the numerous dyes. On the other hand, though, it’s gay pride. How could he not embrace it? The trials of Nanny Bloomberg: to pander or to police? Over at... Read more

Mandates, the IDEA of America and the Worrisome Line

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Someone wondered why I seem less plugged in to the “Fortnight for Freedom” than he had expected me to be. I’m not sure why he is surprised; I’ve never been much of a joiner. But he’s right. I am lukewarm on the F4F, because I am a little uncomfortable with it. I certainly am in complete agreement with the bishops that the HHS Mandate is an assault on our first amendment right to Freedom of Religion — and that it... Read more

Peter and the Sons of Caesar: A World Upside Down

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

In observance of the “Fortnight for Freedom”, my column at First Things considers that the ever since Peter was crucified upside down, the church has seemed like a screwball, topsy-turvy proposition to the worldly world, and all it’s glamor. And all its empty promises: In the first chapter of Father Robert Barron’s remarkable book Catholicism, he discusses the utterly revolutionary fact and idea of Jesus Christ, son of Mary, son of God, as communicated in the “fighting words” that open...
