Note I: I am almost done upgrading the website. You should not experience anymore wonkiness.
Note II: I only have 1-3 hours free to work on the website each day, so I was taken away from posting to concentrate on replacing most of the core of Big Pulpit. I apologize for the lack of posts. I have a full time day job working at a school, plus I am (gathering cats) launching a Catholic non-profit to support Catholic Liberal (Classical) Education on my home island of Kauai. So my so-called extra time is quite sparse. In addition to Big Pulpit (and Catholic Stand and The American Catholic).
Note III: Thank you for your loyalty and patience!
