Here's something fun for a Friday, from AOL News:

The century-old church has a pulpit, a pew and a bell tower. But instead of a congregation, the historic, red-brick structure has a single occupant, the homeowner.

Siamak Akhavan purchased the 20,000-square-foot building five years ago and transformed it into an unusual single-family residence. Now, he's ready to sell. He has put the former Golden Gate Lutheran Church on the market for $7.49 million.

"Some people say that it's weird and eerie, but my perspective is that this is a house of the Lord," Marcus Miller, a real estate agent representing Akhavan, told AOL News. "What better place to re-purpose and live than a house that has been blessed. One could say it's a step toward heaven."

San Francisco Catholic Archdiocese sold St Brigids, a lot  bigger church  and in a much better San Francisco neighborhood for 3 million. It's all about presentation I guess.

There is obviously an untapped market in unused old behemoths of Catholic Churches.  Just think of them as an untapped resource for funds to pay child abuse claims.

I have been informed by a San Francisco realtor that this has been sold to a school for about $6 million.

The previous fact-checking/moderation practices at both Meta and X were problematic and in need of an overhaul. The Community Notes alternative holds promise—if it is available to everyone.

You know who is not getting rid of fact-checking? The editors and journalists in the much-derided legacy media.

To paraphrase E.J. Dionne’s dictum about the Catholic vote, there is no Catholic bloc in Congress, and yet, the Catholic members of the House and Senate matter a great deal.

As both father and priest, what worries me most is the spiritual damage I see done to our children as they are scheduled away from both the dinner table and the altar.
