This Substack is about whatever strikes my Catholic fancy, Catholic in the old sense of all-embracing, but also Catholic in the sense of being a member of and staunch believer in the Catholic Church.

Brilliant Writer Annie Dillard Has Died. Clownishly Celebrated Masses Helped Drive Her Away from the Catholic Church. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Annie Dillard, one of my top favorite writers, has died at 81. I read Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek, the book that made her famous, when it was published in 1974, after it was recommended in an ecology class I was taking at the time. It’s one of those rare works of art that you come across unexpectedly, which stay with you because of their startling originality. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hunE!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/ht
