The Inquisitor
The Chancellery
Some men I hate for being rogues; the others
I hate because they treat the rogues like brothers,
And, lacking a virtuous scorn for what is vile,
Receive the villain with a complaisant smile.
Notice how tolerant people choose to be
Toward that bold rascal who's at law with me.
His social polish can't conceal his nature;
One sees at once that he's a treacherous creature;
No one could possibly be taken in
By those soft speeches and that sugary grin.
The whole world knows the shady means by which
The low-brow's grown so powerful and rich,
And risen to a rank so bright and high
That virtue can but blush, and merit sigh.
Whenever his name comes up in conversation,
None will defend his wretched reputation;
Call him knave, liar, scoundrel, and all the rest,
Each head will nod, and no one will protest.
And, yet his smirk is seen in every house,
He's greeted everywhere with smiles and bows,
And when there's any honor that can be got
By pulling strings, he'll get it, like as not.
My God! It chills my heart to see the ways
Men come to terms with evil nowadays;
Sometimes, I swear, I'm moved to flee and find
Some desert land unfouled by humankind."
-- ALCESTE, THE MISANTHROPE, ACT I, SCENE I

Deo Gratia! Alleluia! Alleluia! I was received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church by Bishop George Niederauer in the Cathedral of the Madeleine on April 19, 2003. Praise be Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. |

A Pictorial Journey Home To The Catholic Faith.
Let's begin with the obligatory, physical description. I am 30 years old, 6'3", 180 lbs.(Metric conversions in the U.S.A.? HAH!), blonde hair, bluish-green eyes, and I am usually bespectacled.
Currently, I am attending the University of Utah where I am majoring in Political Science and History and minoring in Theatre and Classics with a Latin emphasis. Before that, I attended Mira Mesa High School in San Diego and graduated in 1991.
