Anabaptist anti-creed arguments

18 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

Warning: Do not watch the video above while drinking any liquid, lest you choke. There are many arguments that those who claim the Radical Reformation (as versus the Reformation) use to deny historic Christian practice. But, as the video above points out, there is a whole set of arguments that are illogical, to say the […]

Some good days ahead for the Roman Catholic Church

17 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

I suspect that some good days are ahead for the Roman Catholic Church. Look at the interview above in which Pope Francis recounts how he chose his name. Look at his vision for the Roman Catholic Church, a poor Church in favor of the poor. But, I suspect that I am not the only one […]

The media and the Pope

16 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

During the election of Pope Francis and during the election of the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the media and various secular and “Roman Catholic” groups flooded the print media and the airwaves. Invariably, their articles were demands, recommendations, or teary-eyed writings that spoke to what type of Pope should be elected and what his future […]

The God-blessed Septuagint

15 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

The Septuagint … (or “LXX“, or “Greek Old Testament“) is an ancient translation of the Hebrew Bible and some related texts into Koine Greek, dated as early as the late 2nd century BCE. It is quoted in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of Paul the Apostle, and also by the Apostolic Fathers and later Greek […]

Habemus Papam

13 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

The first Latin American Pope has been chosen. And he has picked a name never before used by any Pope, a name that both illuminates his background and says something about his coming Papacy. He named himself Franciscum, Francis in English, after Saint Francis Xavier, or perhaps after Saint Francis of Assisi, only time will […]

Desert Fathers and Lent

8 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

There were two old men who dwelt together for many years and who never quarreled. Then one said to the other: "Let us pick a quarrel with each other like other men do." "I do not know how quarrels arise," answered his companion. So the other said to him: "Look, I will put a brick […]

Virtues gone wild

7 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

G.K. Chesterton, a Catholic, wrote in Orthodoxy, “The modern world is not evil; in some ways the modern world is far too good. It is full of wild and wasted virtues. When a religious scheme is shattered (as Christianity was shattered at the Reformation), it is not merely the vices that are let loose. The […]

Pride shows up in the most unexpected of places

5 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto 7 Comments

But what great matter is this, if you who are but dust and a mere nothing, submit yourself to man for God’s sake, when I the Almighty, and the Most High, Who created all things out of nothing for thy sake, humbly subjected Myself to man. I became the most humble and the most abject […]

I dreamed a dream

3 March 2013 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Generally I am against term limits. Even in the very few places that have them, I have not seen any evidence that they either increase the quality of legislative production or decrease the amount of cronyism and corruption that is present in the system. Rather, term limits work to slowly turn power over to non-elected […]

How the American media thinks the Pope should be chosen

The media above speaks for itself. Warning, be careful not to be drinking milk while watching the video above. It might shoot out your nose. LOL. Thanks to one of the regular authors at Internetmonk.com.
