Tramadol Online Cod 180 OK, I will admit it. I could easily see myself having a conversation of this type. It brings up an interesting story that my wife tells me about a certain member of her family asking why Duran Duran had two first names. Unfortunately, if I were to tell the story she would have to kill […]

Tight shoes, the Good Samaritan, and Our Lord Jesus Christ

https://www.circologhislandi.net/en/conferenze/ 25 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

It will be helpful to look at the ten northern tribes of Israel, nicknamed the “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.” As with most nicknames there is some truth and some exaggeration to it. For those of you who may not have heard that nickname before, let me give you a very short summary of a […]

No Western Orthodox Patriarch and tight shoes

24 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

There is a most interesting fact that points to a very interesting idea. Do you realize that the Orthodox have never appointed a replacement Patriarch of the West? There are many Eastern Orthodox Churches in the West. There are many Metropolitans in the West. There are various jurisdictions in the West. But, there is no […]

Tight fitting shoes and truth

23 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 14 Comments

Yesterday I said: But, this does not answer the deeper question. How do we know what is truth if our perception of truth is influenced by our culture? And, what mechanisms did God put in place to ensure that the truth would indeed be passed on? Right up front, I need to tell you that […]

Tight fitting shoes and Ecumenical Councils

22 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

Three days ago, I posted a note on women wearing shoes, for the sake of fashion, that are so badly designed that the women end up with deformed feet. I commented on that post that: Rather, I am making the point of how powerful is the formative power of culture. Most of us do not […]

Quantum mechanics and weird snake oil salesmen

21 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

I was very busy yesterday so have yet to be able to continue the comments that I made on shoes and cultures the day before yesterday.

Some good posters

17 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

GenX Christians have all too often come in for negative comments from far too many people. So, let me point you to a website, with an old post from 2007 where you can see some posters that express another side of GenX Christians, Emerging Grace.

Bad logic on Ground Zero Islamic Cultural Center

11 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 38 Comments

Today I received a mass e-mail that contained a sad argument against the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero. In part it said: Should there be a mosque near Ground Zero? In fact, what is proposed is not a mosque—nor even an “Islamic cultural center.” In Islam, every structure linked to the faith and […]

An alternate Christian stance on Israel

10 September 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

The following document comes courtesy of a fellow blogger who downloaded it from the source. It is from 2009, but is a document signed by the non-fundamentalist Christians who are actually having to suffer in the Middle East from the result of our policies and folks such as the pastor in Florida who has just […]
