[Q]: Nine years after  Bill Buckley âs death  reflecting on his Catholic life
William F. Buckley Jr. died nine years ago today. When I announced his death on the website  a stream of e-mails poured in testifying to what an impact he had on people âs  lives by his presence â in print  on television  and in person. Person after person told of the one time they met him  and in each case the story was nearly identical:  Bill  treated them like they were the most important person in the world. Priests and at least one religious sister shared the influence his public Catholicism had on them. Others said that while their own father wasnât in the picture when they were growing up   Bill  was a reliable presence in their lives with wisdom  even if only via Firing Line.
When I interviewed  Bill  for Crisis back in the mid Nineties   he  inspired me with two comments: One  that  he  prayed the Rosary every day. Two  that  he  had had a love affair with Jesus Christ since his childhood  when He answered his prayers about his mother  who was going through a very difficult pregnancy.
Following the interview  I began describing  Bill  as the Saint Paul of the modern conservative movement. Saint Paul because (a)  Bill  was a true believer in  his  faith and philosophy  spreading both wherever  he  traveled; and (b)  he  was an apostle of caritas. âThough I speak with the tongues of men and angels  and have not love  I am no better than a clanging gong or a brass bell.â So many  many acts of charity throughout his life. He proselytized for conservatism for nearly 60 years  sustained by his deep faith.
 Bill  was the opposite of ostentatious in  his  religious observances. But any close friend could see that prayer occupied an important place in the spiritual economy of  his  life. I think  he  would have liked what the novelist Anthony Trollope had to say about such matters. In the late 1850s  Trollope wrote:
I suppose we might cavil over the deflationary phrase âamuse himselfâ â perhaps âengageâ or âoccupyâ would have been better â but in essentials  I think  Bill  would have smiled on Trollopeâs enumeration of duties. And it was the prelude  the recognition that our sojourn here on earth is ineluctably short  be it full of years or  like that of Lessingâs son  numbered in hours only  that distributes weight to the obligations articulated.
Pascal expresses the discomfiting aspect of this humbling recognition  the side that pushes people into graduate seminars in philosophy and the therapistâs couch.  Bill  did not have much time for this allotrope of existential anxiety.  He  recognized  as  he  put it in  his  magnificent account of  his  visit to Lourdes  that âfrom the day of birth  we are on our deathbed.â But if  he  found in it a private inspiration to prayer   he  publicly embraced it as a goad to action and enjoyment  not paralysis.  His  focus was adamantly outward  blissfully with the particularities of  his  latest adventure. Socrates may or may not have been right that âthe unexamined life is not worth living.â  Bill  indisputably demonstrated that the unexamined world just wonât cut it. âThe entertainment committee â  he  liked to say  ânever sleeps.â
Our secular age is unfriendly to Catholics  to religion generally  but the irony is that secularists are often less jubilantly worldly than their Jewish and Christian compatriots. âGod made the world and saw that it was good.â That bulletin from Genesis might have been the motto of  Bill Buckleyâs  life.  He  certainly did everything  he  could to broadcast it among  his  many friends. I have never known a more generous person. I do not mean only materially generous  though Billâs largesse in that department was legendary. I mean spiritually  constitutionally generous as well.
Billâs generosity was perhaps most solicitous in matters touching on religious faith. I think of  his  account  alternately moving and amusing  of the last days of  his  National Review colleague Frank Meyer. In  his  last illness  Meyer struggled with the momentous decision of whether to convert to Catholicism.  Bill  was a tireless emissary between Meyer and various confidants.  Bill  reports that Meyer  from his bed of woe  complained that âthe only remaining intellectual obstacle to his conversion was the collectivist implication lurking in the formulation âthe communion of saintsâ in the Apostlesâ Creed.â Two days before the end  Meyer somehow overcame that final obstacle  partly  I like to think  with the help of Billâs armory of arguments.
Another anecdote: Everyone knows that  Bill  commanded a formidable vocabulary. It was significant  therefore  that he should have telephoned us once in search of a word. âIt means taking pleasure in the misfortune of others â he said to my wife. âSchadenfreude?â she ventured. âThatâs it!â he said and rang off. How perfectly Buckleyesque that he should have forgotten it. It named an emotion that was as foreign to him as joy was native.
When I met  Mr. Buckley   I was a sophomore in college  and even at a distance of all these years  I know that what most struck me about  him  then was what might be called a certain Catholic matter-of-factness: not in the sense of nonchalance in approaching matters of faith  but just the opposite. From  his  lifetime of familiarity with the Lord came an ease of conversation about  Him  and a givenness that  his  life was firmly situated within the context of a lived discipleship in the middle of the Church.
 Father Gerald E. Murray
Bill Buckley  went on pilgrimage to Our Ladyâs shrine in Lourdes a few years before  he  set out on the final pilgrimage to eternity. I was a chaplain on that trip and spent time with  Bill .  He  remarked that at Lourdes  he  felt completely free from the ordinary sense of time and schedules.  He  must have experienced the heavenly sense of Lourdes. When the Blessed Virgin Mary came down to speak with Bernadette Soubirous in 1858  eternity entered into time and left a lasting mark on a faraway corner of France. Time is a measurement of change; eternity is beyond change  for it is the perfection of everything we seek when we pursue the true  the good  and the beautiful.
 Bill  spent  his  lifetime resisting those who impossibly sought to âimmanentize the eschatonâ by violence  deceit  and deception. The eschaton is reserved for the next life. A sweet foretaste  however  is offered when and where God chooses to intervene in human history. Lourdes is such a place  and  Bill  knew by conviction  and now by experience  that Catholicism blesses her children with such joyful experiences of the fundamental truth that God is good. That joy transports us  if only for a moment  out of the limited horizon of daily life. That joy allows us to return to our daily schedule knowing it all has a meaning and higher purpose as we journey to eternity.  Bill Buckley  was a pilgrim who sought and upheld truth and goodness in the great struggle against the 20th centuryâs promoters of lies and evil. We are all in his debt. Requiescat in pace.

[Q]: Tanner Roark  will take the mound with the Nationals facing elimination in Game 4. (Jeff Roberson/AP)
CHICAGO —  Tanner Roark  was born and raised in Wilmington  Ill.  which is southwest of Chicago  which means  he  grew up closer to Comiskey Park than to Wrigley Field. But geography didn’t impact baseball team allegiances in the  Roark  household.  He  grew up a die-hard Cubs fan like  his  mother and siblings  diverging from  his  father’s loyalty to the White Sox and the Cardinals.
“Growing up  yeah  there was always some trash-talking in the house between us and my dad ”  Roark  said.
On Tuesday  barring rain   Roark  will find himself on the mound at Wrigley Field  the ballpark he visited countless times as a fan  to face the Cubs. It won’t be his first start there; he has four on his résumé and appeared in another game out of the bullpen. But none of the previous outings carried the same weight Tuesday’s will place on Roark’s right arm: Game 4 of the National League Division Series with his Nationals facing elimination.
“It’s pretty surreal to pitch in Wrigley  and just the history that they have here and everything ”  Roark  said. “It’s very exciting  and I’m anxious to get out there.”
 Roark  hasn’t pitched since the Nationals’ regular season finale on Oct. 1  when  he  allowed two runs in an inning of relief against the Pirates  and  he  hasn’t started a game since Sept. 27.  He  lasted 4 2/3 innings that day  surrendering six runs on seven hits to the Phillies. But  Roark  was significantly better before the poor finish;  he  had posted a 3.39 ERA in 57 innings over  his  previous nine starts to rebound from an inconsistent four months after  his  stint with Team USA at the World Baseball Classic made for an unusual spring training.
“ Tanner  didn’t have many innings coming out of spring training  and that kind of got  him  behind the eight-ball  so to speak  because you know   he  didn’t have the innings ” Nationals Manager Dusty Baker said. “ He  was with the WBC and  he  didn’t pitch very much. And so things get in your head when you’re used to getting guys out and all of a sudden you’re not getting them out. So it’s a new season now for Tanner  brand-new season  and this is what people are going to remember you by.”
“ Tanner   you know  is a guy that you would like on your side if you’re in an alley and you’re in a fight  because you know  Tanner    he  has that warrior mentality ” Baker said. “ He  doesn’t make any excuses or alibis.  He  just goes out and pitches  and  this guy  has not had an easy road  you know  from the beginning to get here. We feel very comfortable with  Tanner  on the mound because you know  he ’s going to fight tooth and nail and do everything  he  can to win the ballgame for you.”
 Roark  recalled 300 people from Wilmington congregated in a section in right center field for  his  Wrigley Field debut in 2013.  He  doesn’t expect that again Tuesday.  He  hasn’t been hounded for tickets. Five relatives   his  wife  and their two children will be in attendance to watch  his  biggest game of  his  career.
“They are good about getting their own tickets ”  Roark  said  laughing. “Which is very good on  me . It’s a lot less stress that I have to worry about.”

[Q]: Story highlights  Romualdo Pacheco  was the first Hispanic governor of California
 Pacheco  also served in the US House and as a diplomat
 He  reportedly lassoed a grizzly bear  as one does
(CNN)  Romualdo Pacheco  was not only the first Hispanic governor of California  the 19th century politician was also the state's only Hispanic governor to date. Not to be outdone by  himself    Pacheco  was also the first Hispanic member of the House with full voting rights.
 Pacheco  was born in Santa Barbara  California  when the land was still held by Mexico .  He  was born to a prominent family and -- living  his  best life from a very young age -- was sent to Hawaii for school and had to re-learn Spanish upon  his  return home.
 He  grew up to be the fierce gentleman you see in the Instagram photo above. You will not be surprised to hear that  man  worked as a sailor  a miner and a rancher. Multiple sources credit  him  -- in an oddly specific way -- as being the only California governor known to have lassoed a grizzly bear. That implies that other California governors have run around roping grizzlies and not told everyone they've ever met. Regardless  that's pretty hardcore.
 Pacheco  became an American citizen in 1848 and got to work as a public servant .  He  began as a judge for San Luis Obispo Superior Court before serving as a state senator beginning in 1857.  He  did time in three parties  starting as a Democrat  then becoming a member of the Union Party before settling down as a Republican in 1863.
 He  continued checking off important state-level positions  serving as the state treasurer and lieutenant governor. When Gov. Newton Booth left to serve in the US Senate  Pacheco took over  serving as governor from February-December 1875.
