I will be interested to read your commentary on what is and is not heresy, courtesy of Cardinal Marx, whom I occasionally mistake for Karl Marx, given his positions on traditional matters of faith and morals.

I for one was not let down by your explanation of the catholic origins of April fools.

Excellent letter, as always. I’ll be enjoying the House of Cardinals breakdown over my morning coffee because I have lost track of it in recent months and it’s a very complex story. Appreciate The Pillar’s continued good coverage there.

Also, as a member of the same weird, niche hobby and an obsession that stems from the same line of reasoning, I would have welcomed “Mr. Condon’s musings on Watches & Wonders.” Perhaps it will be a Pillar bonus release.

A blessed Lent to all.

I really appreciate what you are doing. How do we just donate? I don't have $1000 and already subscribe, but can give a little more. I would love it is you know someone from Germany who could speak to what the heck happened in the Catholic Church there. I grew up as a military brat off and on over there, loved it (except the predator priest in the Munich American community -- what a wrecking ball he was - not on any list, either!) and sensed some "off" things as a kid, and as an adult in the early '90's - the roots of this fermenting ugliness, the origins of Cdl Marx and co., wovon kam es? Again, thank you.
