Two quick mentions of articles very much worth reading.

First, take a peek at this clever one by Jack Kenny in the Union-Leader, bringing up irony that the Anglican Church (born in schism over marriage and sex) may be losing its traditionalist adherents to the Roman Catholic Church (with another scandal/schism over marriage and sex). Divided by Henry VIII, re-united by Gene Robinson.

Second, the always reliable John Derbyshire in NRO has this insightful little piece about a long forgotten heresy, and linking it to the Anglican troubles. Most happy of all is his mention of Hilaire Belloc, who along with Chesterton should be required reading for everyone over the age of 10. In fact, take a gander through the small but growing catalog of books released by IHS Press.
