Today is the Feast of our Blessed Mother's Assumption into Heaven. In spite of the Northeast power blackout and the New York Times' frequent blackout of non-politically correct news or ideas, this interesting op-ed was published in that paper today. The author's concern is about what he sees as a growing gap in America between intellect and religious mysticism.

Pope John Paul II says that Faith and Reason are complementary. As a trying-to-be faithful Catholic, active in the prolife movement and a science and technology futurist working to really open the space frontier for humanity, I hope that is one idea conveyed through this blog.
