Your devotion to your pet subjects is commendable, but please permit to yawn. I’ve been a reader of National Review since 1964. I seem to remember it as being witty, fun, off-center, serious, sometimes profound, rarely parochial. NRO (or at least the Corner) under your aegis can only be described as numbingly parochial. Perhaps NRO isn’t the place for you. I would suggest you write for “Our Sunday Visitor” or whatever other propaganda sheet Catholic parishes give out nowadays. Good grief, give us a break
