Another day of double-offering in “On the Square”. First we have R. R. Reno’s regular article, this one titled Love Rather Than Theory and dealing with the difference between thinking things through and what the modern intellectual does. “The intellectual is an intellectual because . . . he has a formula by which to answer the important questions, and all from the comfort of is study in, well, wherever.”
Second is Ronald Rychlak and William Doino’s Pius XII and the Distorting Ellipsis , in which they defend the pope from yet another charge, this one that he said something against Jews just a year before he became pope. He didn’t, and shouldn’t have been accused of doing so, as they show.
