All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space of time after the religion which has nourished it has fallen into disbelief... no cultured person should remain indifferent to the erosion of apprehension of the transcendent.'

A nifty new site

Well, its not that new, but I did like it. The Zombie Parent's Guide (linked over to the right) is a Catholic father's discussion of Catholic stuff and zombie stuff.

Most of my more orthodox acquaintences are a bit squeamish about my love of most things zombie, but ultimately I think that these stories really do provide one of the few genres where moral thought is taken seriously in contemporary entertainment. Horror films in general often present a much more traditional (re: natural law) approach to understanding human behavior than dramas or comedies.

I will probably rant about this more later, but dinner is almost ready.
