about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

The Propellers of Saturn
It sounds like a title of a pulp-era sf story, but propellers are actual features in Saturn’s Rings that look like … well, propellers. These things are way cool. Imagine a moonlet about the size of a sports arena or … Continue reading
