Journalist, author of five books. Latest: Playing God, American Catholic Bishops and the Far Right (Melville House). Starting all over after dramatic exit from Twitter/X. Hope followers will come back!
Loved opening the New York Times today and seeing my work in the NYT Book Review.

This is the 45th anniversary of the assassination of Mons. Oscar Romero. Also today, news from El Salvador: P. Rogelio has died, the "guerrilla priest" (he was never a combatant) who . courageously ministered to poor civilians throughout the war and to the rebels, who were mostly poor, too.

I say shop local. Salesperson at Rophy’s shoes waited patiently while I tried on 7 pair: when book I wanted wasn’t there bookseller at Folio grabbed one he’d loved by the same author; travel sewing kit discovered in a drawer full of unshelled stock not on shelf by happy salesman. Try this online.

Finally crossed the bridge to Bluesky
But I didn't follow my own advice--"Never leave in a huff" -- and somehow erased my Twitter/X followers, so if you're here
please follow again and we'll do this!
