Who couldn’t love that? Carl is right. 76 turned out not to be a problem. Neither did being from OUR HEMISPHERE. The handicappers should have given more attention to the man who came in second last time. Francis might be exactly the right combination of evangelizer and enforcer, with more than the right amounts of saint and scholar thrown in too.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
