On leaving church, and more

• Mass: In nomine Jesu omne genuflectatur, coelestium, terrestrium, et infernorum. Blessed be his holy name.
• On leaving church. On "Dones," nice people who just stop going to church. Protestant but with some insight. We might say such dropping out is logical in Protestantism but of course many Catholics quit for some of the same reasons.
• RIP Fr. Cletus Healy. An April 2014 passing, of an unsung hero of the church I'd just learned of.
• From the British National Party: Christianity and culture.
• News of the weird: Man has turn-signal lever embedded in his arm for 51 years. From a car crash in '63 (head-on with a truck, wrecking his new T-Bird). He didn't know he had this until 10 years ago. Had it removed when it hurt after heavy lifting.
• Lefty hypocrisy. Illogic that Ex-Army considers sociopathy. If you work from the dogmatic assumption that liberalism is morally infallible... A false church!
• The Anti-Gnostic: Prominent IT venture capitalist declares entire premise of US education system invalid. The fact of innate, hereditary talent for a particular skillset is presumably the reason men like Paul Graham devote substantial amounts of their personal time and fortune to lobbying Congress for more H1-B visas. Otherwise, they could just spend the money on schools in places like Camden or Detroit to train all the untapped labor there for the next generation of genius-level programming. Or, if you're Bill Gates, just give your intelligent, bored wife a few extra billion to fund all these Blank Slate/social-engineering schemes while your company continues to recruit from a few select colleges.
• Dalrock: How to close the gender pay gap. A modest proposal.
