Cobra Kai and the transformative power of mercy

Father T. Austin Murphy Jr.October 9, 20204 min read

Sacred Routine

Father T. Austin Murphy Jr.August 5, 20204 min read

What I did on my Christmas holiday

Father T. Austin Murphy Jr.January 14, 20204 min read
The nature of true argument is not to destroy the interlocutor. It’s not even to “win,” really. The point of debate and argument in the classical sense it to delve into and arrive at the Truth.

Be Our Guest

Father T. Austin Murphy Jr.December 12, 20193 min read
