Most recently on this topic: “Babette’s Feast and the Protestant Envy of Catholicism.”The Catholic Church needs a new Pope. For several reasons I think it unlikely I will be considered before they decide on their ultimate candidate, but nevertheless I maintain I have a stake in the decision: Everybody has to look at pictures of the Pope all the time. He’s a big part of the news! He’s always visiting other countries and having his picture taken and so on.

I suppose one always wants the things one can’t have; I find it a source of constant irritation that, having been brought up by evangelical Christians, I will never be a lapsed Catholic.1 I was speaking about this with a friend of mine yesterday, who has the good fortune of being a lapsed Catholic herself. There’s a nice little glamor to it, like being a wealthy divorcée in a 1920s novel.

I like St. Jerome. He was a fourth-century Doctor of the Church best known for his biblical translations and for his epistles on women’s monastic lives.

He wrote a charming defense of himself in Epistle 45: It often happened that I found myself surrounded with virgins, and to some of these I expounded the divine books as best I could.

Did you know you can just email me back whenever you get a new Chatner update? You don’t have to, of course, but I thought I’d mention it, since occasionally people do write back to say hello, or to tell me something interesting, and they almost always preface their emails by saying “I’m sure you won’t see this.” But I do see this! And I quite like it! I’m always emailing you, after all, and if you ever want to email me back in return, I’d be very happy to read whatever you have to say.

"It’s set in a perpetual, hazy, late-early or early-mid era of 1960s that will never turn into the late 1960s (If you take out all the naval bits, and make almost all the characters women in 1960s Manhattan, then Women’s Hotel is not unlike the Aubrey-Maturin series)..."
it may interest you to know that Women's Hotel is getting a sequel! if it doesn't interest you, then you can simply read something else, so as far as I can see there's no harm to it. "Christmas At The Women's Hotel" is coming out this October... https://t.co/LhS2XmnUWW
