He started off as a conservative, and still espouses views that impress me as either conservative, or, at least, not liberal.

PS I subscribe to Richard Rohr's daily email but do not read it very often. Rohr got his start in Cincinnati in 1971. 40 years ago, Paul S was a not-infrequent participant in his congregation.

Dear A

I'm encouraged by his description of the news media and journalism thriving bigger and better. This is our saving grace.

He mentions toward the end a Franciscan monk, Richard Rohr. Do you know him. 

Brooks is so fast and full of thoughts that I'll have to watch this again.
