To interrupt the doom-and-gloom for a moment, here’s an interview with Catholic Hollywoodist Barbara Nicolosi that’s a good read and actually rather inspirational. It seems she’s managing to close the gap between uncultured Evangelical intensity and accommodationist post-Catholic worldliness among Christians associated with the entertainment biz.
I got the link from Kathy Shaidle’s Relapsed Catholic blog (see the sidebar). Kathy also has a link to a rather alarming article in Reason on the Martha Stewart prosecution. What the article says—that the crime of which Stewart is accused can’t sensibly be considered a crime—fits in with what I know of other celebrity securities law prosecutions.
