(And Then I Wrote...)

Since this site began more than six years ago, every Thursday I have been publishing a reprint from my column "Across the Universe" in the British Catholic journal, The Tablet. I have finally gone through all of them (except for 2019's columns) and I've even re-published a few of the oldest ones that came out here before our readership had grown.

The letter itself is long lost, so I have no idea whom it was I was replying to!

Here's what I prepared to send them:
