The Pentagon is now worried that the massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft might possibly be used to coordinate a terror plot. Yes, we always knew that playing games was a waste of time, after all, “idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” But, now we know just how much of a […]

Roots of Mysticism, post 01
As Huw comments on his blog, the first sentence of the book says that Christianity’s beginnings are Oriental and mystical.

St. Leo the Great on the Cross
Our understanding, which is enlightened by the Spirit of truth, should receive with purity and freedom of heart the glory of the cross as it shines in heaven and on earth.
