About

Religious, cultural, philosophical, political, and personal musings of a seamless garment Catholic: mostly my marginalia on the hypertextual manuscripts I encounter. I've commented rather frequently over the years on blogs maintained by Rod Dreher, Mark P. Shea, Leah Libresco, and Scott Alexander, among others, always with the handle "Irenist," which I selected mostly to remind myself to be irenic. You might know me from one of those blogs if you hang out in the comments. I'm a different person than "the Ironic Irenist" who blogs with a similar handle. In real life, my name is Tom.
