Pagan Sox
19 October 2004
What is the faith of the Red Sox faithful? Though Mark Sappenfield of The Christian Science Monitor speaks with Cornell University V.P. Isaak Kramnick about the effects of the Puritan legacy on New Englanders who believe "that bad can triumph over good," the remainder of his article suggests older belief systems than those usually associated with the cold, Calvinist city: faith in the renewal of warmth and life after dark winter where the annual return of spring upholds "an eternal cycle of optimism." Read (without predictions): there's always next year.
