Links and Things: April 27, 2016

Greetings and salutations! Let's go around the horn on a few notable interests and interesting notes:

My obscenely talented brother, Paul Senz, had two diaconal-themed articles up at Our Sunday Visitor this week: one on deacons doing prison ministry, and another on deacons doing hospital ministry. (I have other ridiculously talented siblings, too, but their talents are not linkable, unfortunately.)

Here's an excellent piece over at The Catholic Thing by Fr. Jerry Pokorsky on the proper understanding of the word "judgmental," and why, when rightly understood, you want your priest to be judgmental after all.

Over at Catholic Stand, here's a moving piece by John McNichol that discusses his relationship with his father to illustrate the place of relics in our faith.

Hitting the Big Time!

The folks at Catholic Stand have been gracious enough to add my as a regular columnist! "Regular" in this case means "once a month," which is just about enough time for me to periodically conjure up something that others might want to read. I'm very grateful to Catholic Stand for giving me the opportunity to spread my inanity farther across the Web.

Behold, my first entry: http://catholicstand.com/darth-vader-good-hiding-evil/.

Enjoy!
