Happy Birthday, Evelyn Waugh! (Catholic Writer’s Almanac, October 28)

“The trouble about the world today is that there’s not enough religion in it. There’s nothing to stop young people doing whatever they feel like doing at the moment” – Evelyn Waugh.   A year later, Waugh scandalized the public by entering the Catholic Church. Tod Worner has an excellent article about it here. Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

Happy Birthday, Brennan Manning! (Catholic Writer’s Almanac: April 27)

He was a complicated man who understood one simple truth: His Father in Heaven loved him — loves all of us — more than we could possibly imagine. Rest in peace, dear Ragamuffin.
