Happy Birthday (Shawn McElhinney's) Rerum Novarum!

A belated congratulations to I. Shawn McElhinney, who celebrated the birthday of his blog Rerum Novarum on August 18th. Those who have defended Vatican II and the Holy Father against the slanders of Radical Traditionalists can testify how much time and effort it requires, and St. Blog's is truly blessed to have Shawn's skills applied to this task. A number of Shawn's works are found here (with special attention to "A Prescription Against Traditonalism"). When he's not blogging on his own, Shawn lends a hand in "exposing the crackpots of the self-styled traditionalist fringe" on The Lidless Eye Inquisition.
