Joseph Pearce follows-up on the RR's Beer Blessing

Yesterday on the First Things blog (in follow-up to this post):

Joseph Pearce writes:

In the healthily rambunctious spirit of Michael Novak’s posting yesterday (I refer to his “Beer Blessing” in ecclesiastically resplendent Latin), I was reminded of Belloc’s immortal lines in praise of the place of ale in Western civilization. I apologize in advance for the questionable quality of my response to his words of wisdom.

  • Whenever the Catholic sun doth shine,
  • There’s always laughter and good red wine.
  • At least I’ve always found it so.
  • Benedicamus Domino! —Hilaire Belloc

(followed by:)

  • But when the Catholic sun doth sink,
  • There’s stench of Hitler, Stalin’s stink.
  • We hate to say we told you so.
  • Gulag Archipelago! — JP (with apologies to HB)
(ugh! This was a bit of a formatting nightmare. Sometimes blogger can be quite annoying.)
