A reliable measure of his change of disposition is the list of accompanying links he sent me for review, "five positives," he calls them:
- Russell Shaw, "Hopeful signs in a post-Christian era" (CWR, March 5, 2015)
- Joel Belz, "First thing in the morning: Don't start your day with the news" (World, March 6, 2015)
- Jim Graves, "Catholicism in New York City: an interview with Fr. George Rutler, pastor of the Church of St. Michael in NYC, and noted author and commentator" (CWR, December 28, 2014)
- Regis Martin, "Dietrich von Hildebrand's War Against Hitler" (Crisis, March 10, 2015)
- Emily Whitten, "Movies: Cinderella" (World, March 6, 2015).

Disney; reliably pro-fairy
Save the world, sodomize a princess? I'm surprised Guy Noir liked it, given this reward was the movie's final word.
Before that, there was the scene of slaughter in a Church, which is queued up in dialogue as justice for their racism and homophobia.
Followed by the scene of menace when Eggsy's mother tries to hack her way through the door of a bathroom to kill her daughter.
These scenes were more disturbing than any of the other cartoon violence.
I give the movie an "O" for Morally Offensive. The climate-skeptic ends do not justify the means. And I was heartily sorry I saw it. I was misled by reviews from otherwise reliable writers; I should have read down into the comments on those reviews.
So this is my comment, in hopes I might save somebody else the heartbreak.
