What the Priest Scandal Is – and Is Not – About
Anthony Esolen
I have not written about the recent barrage of accusations regarding the scandal of Catholic priests who could not keep their hands and other things to themselves, and the prelates who did the same, encouraged them, or shuffled them here and there to hide them.

Dickens’ David Copperfield: The Wealth of Goodness in Human Nature
Mitchell Kalpakgian
In Dickens’ novels the problems of suffering in the form of poverty, tragedy, and injustice receive their greatest relief from simple, humble, lowly characters with kind, compassionate, and charitable hearts—not from wealthy benefactors, social agencies, or doles from government welfare.
