...perform the sacramental functions that we no longer have enough priests for?" Thus Jesuit Thomas Rausch, a theologian at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, summarizes a sentiment he hears often from master's degree candidates in pastoral studies.

...Blair last week people were talking more about the invasion of the national media than about the abortion.

The flaky charms of Unstrung Heroes will be lost on some hardened souls, and it does have its self-conscious, even slightly self-congratulatory moments. But don't listen to their braying. Listen instead...
