It is rarely surprising to find such reviews. After all, there are doubtlessly numerous worthy books published each year. It is surprising, [...]

BY JAMES DOOLITTLE Mom’s Italian. 100%. And while she could have poured the over-exuberant passion that is the genetic cross my people bear into anything obvious - food, language, Catholicism, music, Sophia Loren - she opted at an early age to funnel my genetic disposition into her love for the cinema.

I never thought I’d live to see the day that a church’s moral teachings are said to be “hateful” “defamatory” “insensitive” and “ignorant”. Wow! That must be SOME church! Turns out, it’s not just one church, but ALL churches within that religion. And what religion is that? The Catholic Church. Yep, that’s right. A San Francisco [...]
