I thought I would wait until the next morning to sleep then write a final very short post. My initial impression is still my impression today. There was no clear winner of the debate last night. Interestingly enough, the comedian Chris Rock is saying the same thing today. However, it must be kept in mind […]
McCain vs Obama, timeline 70 minutes to end
They have moved on to Russia, but I am afraid that my eyes are glazing over. I am afraid that right now it is tit for tat. Unfortunately, Sen. McCain has just repeated the mistaken notion that Russian invaded Georgia without any provocation, despite the many articles that have been published in various USA newspapers […]
McCain vs Obama, timeline 50 to 70 minutes
The subject has just shifted to Afghanistan. Here Sen. Obama has made his most “warlike” remarks and insisted on a thorough involvement. Sen. McCain clearly stated that he regrets the great mistake that was made in ignoring Afghanistan. The people in the room just gasped because his criticism was so strong of President Bush’s policy. […]
McCain vs Obama, timeline 30 to 50 minutes
The moderator has continued to press on the budget. Sen. Obama has been the first one that has admitted that the budget will definitely be affected by the loss of funds from tax revenues. He has just made the excellent point that in order to make cuts one must first decide what the priorities are. […]
McCain vs Obama, first half hour
The debate has just started, and the schedule has been thrown out. The first question is about the economic crisis . . . so much for foreign policy. Interestingly enough, both candidates agree that the prior economic policy was not correct. This seems to leave President Bush hanging and rotating in the wind. Neither candidate […]
Pre-first debate post, McCain vs Obama
When I wrote yesterday that I was going to continue with my discussion today on Scripture, Tradition, and Ecumenical Councils, I had forgotten that today was the first debate between Senators McCain and Obama. Right now, I am in a room with 12 people ranging from college age to senior citizen. We have the TV […]
Scripture, Tradition, and Ecumenical Councils, part 03
Let me make some comments, as an aside, in order to make myself clear before I return to what I was discussing. The Holy Spirit works through many means. I am only mentioning three of them: Scriptures, Holy Tradition, and Ecumenical Councils. I list the Scriptures as separate from Holy Tradition, not because I have […]

Scripture, Tradition, and Ecumenical Councils, part 02
Yesterday I gave examples of how Tradition has vetoed Papal bulls, Roman Catholic Councils, and Ecumenical Councils. In each case, there are still many who would insist that those pronouncements are valid and to be obeyed, even while there is significant disobedience to the pronouncements. That is, Tradition is not a static set of statements […]
Scripture, Tradition, and Ecumenical Councils, part 01
On Sarx a question came up about that made me think about the relationship between Scripture, Tradition, and Ecumenical Councils. And, not surprisingly, my conclusion is that the relationship is a complex interaction that does not boil itself down to a set of easily memorizable doctrinal statements. I can, however, perhaps give some generalized thoughts […]
