The church will always exist as long as there is one baptized person. And that one baptized person who is left in the world is responsible before the world for holding aloft the banner of the Lord’s truth and of his divine justice.

• Ver a Taylor Swift en directo en 2013 es ver a una maestra en la cima de su carrera o de la de cualquiera. Ningún otro autor pop puede igualarla ahora mismo en cuanto a exceso emocional o alcance musical: su punk es tan punk, su disco es tan disco. Las lentejuelas rojas de su guitarra hacen juego con las de su micrófono, sus zapatos y el 80% del público.

• Growing up, I'd already decided I wanted to be a beatnik. A Bohemian poet, I thought. Or a musician. Maybe an artist. I'd dress in black turtlenecks and smoke Gitanes.
