Over at the Register today, 1P5 contributor Pat Archbold has a thing about “The Hermeneutic of Continuity”: I used to be a big fan of the “Hermeneutic of Reform in Continuity,” or as commonly shortened, the “hermeneutic of continuity.” But I think that perhaps its day has passed.

For those of you who pay attention to details, you may have noticed that the donation-o-meter on the website made a significant jump this morning. This is not a glitch. On Friday, my wife Jamie and I met with Corey and Katherine Huber from the Fraser Family Foundation. At the end of an in-depth conversation about…
There is no question that something about Pope Francis catches the imagination of those who might otherwise have nothing to do with the Catholic Church.
