There's an article on the movie Green Dolphin Street, offering a Chestertonian interpretation of the vocations of marriage and religious life: “The Pattern of the Cross”. Lana Turner and Donna Reed are two sisters who learn about God's plans for their happiness. I wrote it a few years ago, so I'm eager to see it in print!
This is one of those cases--as a hint for writers or anyone who submits material for publication--of being able to make real, live contact with the publishers or editors who've judged and accepted your material. Joseph Pearce visited Wichita twice this fall: once in October and once in November. I was able to discuss articles that Mr. Pearce had previously accepted and where they'd fit into the themes of his publication.
Voila! There it is--or there it will be! (looking forward to my comp copy).
The second piece is a book review of Philip Campbell's Heroes & Heretics of the Reformation, which I just submitted in November.

First - A joyous birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteHBO is running ‘Gunpowder’ this week. Watch it if you have a strong stomach.
As if a vivisected Jesuit wasn’t gross enough, British sausages were used as props for the entrails. If you’ve ever eaten British sausage, you know what I mean.
But finally - a British production telling the Catholic side of the story. Yes there are lots of inaccuracies here and there ( a Protestant clergyman wearing a crucifix ???) but all in all the series is good.
Whoever thought we would ever see Anne Vaux portrayed on screen, let alone by a major actress. To me she was one of the great heroines of History.
Has Joseph Pearce reviewed the series yet?
Thank you. I don't have access to HBO! I haven't seen anything from Pearce on the series--perhaps watch the Imaginative Conservative or the StAR blog!
