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.

In watching one of my wife’s favorite programs, Lewis, I’ve come to appreciate the British system of long episodes in short seasons. Everything seems satisfying watching a mystery unfold, then get solved in ninety minutes. I suppose if the original … Continue reading
