My kudos to iMonk for a lead to this fine bit of humor. I am nearly done with the Christmas bulletin, so I should soon be able to get back to more serious blogging, although who knows. The song author’s blog post containing this song is found here.
Inconsistency in arguing against Roman Catholics
Well, another quick one from the road. On a recent post, the following interesting statement was made, “Their thoughts, excuses, rationales, theological bull******** [Ed. note – yes I censored the word, not the original author] – I can’t share the grace of a saint’s life, why should I bear the guilt of some dead sinners?” […]
For you Martin Luther fans
Hey all, Sorry but I am still traveling. This is for you Martin Luther fans. Enjoy!
Infallible and Imperfect, you have got to be kidding!
You will say to me, “Infallible and imperfect, you have to be kidding!” Is it not a contradiction to say that the Church is imperfect and infallible? Well, not necessarily, but, let’s back up a minute an approach the subject from different direction. I will argue that all of Christianity is actually aware that something […]
St. Cyprian on traditions
I have to travel unexpectedly today, so for those of you waiting for the follow-up post on the Church, I leave you with the following. I am quite well aware that not all traditions are equal. In fact, so were the Early Church Fathers. St. Cyprian said: “Custom is often only the antiquity of error.” […]
Wait, so the Church is not perfect?
No, as I pointed out in my previous post, the neither Jesus nor the Apostles claimed the Church was already perfect. In fact, they were overwhelmingly aware of her lack of perfection. But, if you would permit me to use two theological terms, I think they would see the Church as indefectible and infallible. While […]
Who are we, really?
Too many of our discussions about the Church suffer from a failing that I pointed out in an earlier post about heroes. We tend to lionize the Early Church far beyond what the Bible itself, nay Jesus Himself, says about the Church. Mind you, as an Eastern Orthodox priest, I am sold on the Church. […]
Link spasm
I learned a new term today, “Link Spam.” The title of this post is a deliberate misspelling so that people searching for information on the subject would not accidentally link here expecting something else. It started this way, I have a very handy WordPress plug-in called Akismet. It is also available free for other platforms, […]
Playing gotcha
We have been hearing a lot about Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He has been a regular on the late night talk show joke circuit as well as on all the editorial cartoon pages. I must admit that my favorite is the one above because I am a Lord of the Rings fan. (If you click […]
On requesting intercessory prayers from the saints
Are there any Biblical and historical quotes that appear to demonstrate that both the Apostles and the Early Church Fathers expected that the saints and angels would be aware of what we are doing and would intercede for us? And is there anything that says that we should revere them and remember them with special […]
