What is “All Things SDG”?

My name is Steven D. Greydanus, and I am, among other things, a Catholic deacon in the Archdiocese of Newark, a film critic and a member of the New York Film Critics Circle, an art-school graduate and cartooning enthusiast, a high-school Theology teacher, and a husband and father of 7—not in that order!

I’ve been writing about film since 2000, when I founded Decent Films, and most of what I write about film winds up there. I write other stuff too, including homilies that I preach at my parish and notes on other topics that interest me—often at great length. Here’s a typical sampling of the kind of things I write:

• Reflections on voting as a pro-life Catholic (my most popular piece to date)

• “The day Western civilization ended” (notes on Star Trek and good writing)

• The a-hole version (Penn Jillette, Sam Harris, and the moral argument for God)

• Why does Jesus tell so many stories about plants? (a Sunday homily)

• Crisis of meaning on infinite earths, part 1 (long thoughts on superhero multiverse movies)
