Alithos anesti!

It has been a long time since I poked my head in here and I likely will not stay long. But a glorious Resurrection Day to all! O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and...

No peace among the nations without peace among the religions. No peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions. No dialogue among the religions without investigation of the foundation of the religions. Hans Küng, celebrated and controversial Swiss theologian, has died

The original album got me through a lot of . . . stuff. It has a special place for me. Too bad they were never able to recapture that.

I don't know if this counts as outshinging the original, but Henry is pretty amazing for doing No Children for a high school talent show.

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, Don't expect him to thank or forgive you.

Pretty much! Let's see if we can start with a point of agreement and move from there rather than starting at the end-point of a big ol' formal Mass. Are you willing to agree that some of the earliest Christians we have records of--the congregation at Corinth--had some sort of ritual that...

There are numerous bits of weird reasoning, but let's just take one example. TFA claims the Mass is "Wiccan" or "Hoodoo" because it copies certain (unidentified) pagan rituals. But there is very good evidence that the Mass (or Divine Liturgy) has been celebrated in a form very similar to that...
