Fr. Paul and an eerie coincidence

3 August 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

Those of you who have been reading this blog for a couple of years will remember that I posted on the sickness and then the death of The Rt. Rev. Fr. Paul W. Moses, an Archimandrite of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. He was a WWII veteran who had been a bomber pilot. During one of his flights, […]

The Woman caught in adultery and us

https://www.circologhislandi.net/en/conferenze/ 2 August 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

I am an Adjunct Professor in a course called Religions of the World at a state university. It is a freshman level course and is usually taken by people who simply want to learn about other religions. Frankly, some students take it looking for an “easy pass” hoping that the course does not require much […]

Priests, pastors, and “politics”

1 August 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 5 Comments

Priests and pastors are often told that they should not become involved in politics. This is for a couple of reasons. One of them certainly is that one needs to be able to pastor to the whole congregation. If one frequently expresses political views, one is certain to eventually drive off some of the members […]

Bycicles, old memories, and new experiences

31 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 5 Comments

Recently I decided that I needed to lose weight. Well, several million Americans and I decided that, since that happens on any given week. However, I had become increasingly concerned both about my health and about my Orthodox witness. It is somewhat hard to preach on self-control if you can look down and see the […]

Giving to worthy causes and keeping your taxes from government entitlements

29 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

In response to my post yesterday on what we can agree on about the poor, Fr. Greg made a further point about giving to the poor which I found most interesting. He said in part: This properly Christian response is not only undertaken in order to “help the poor”. It is a spiritual discipline – almsgiving- […]

Where we can agree about the poor

28 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

I commented yesterday that our youngest daughter was married this past Saturday at a Greek Orthodox parish. That Sunday I concelebrated the Divine Liturgy with the parish priest. He and I are friends and have spent many hours around an altar. As a cradle Orthodox he was able to not only teach me much about […]

Youngest daughter now married

27 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

For those of you who have been wondering at my abscence, it was because last week was our youngest daughter’s wedding. Therefore, we were quite occupied with all the inevitable last minute details. One of those details is that last week, two days before the wedding, I had the opportunity to chrismate our daughter into […]

Maybe we can all agree that it will be painful

17 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

It might be helpful if both parties admit fully to the public what will be true in reducing both the deficit and the debt. There will be significant pain. Notice that the first panel of the comic does not simply have the USA, but has several countries. First, we need to admit to ourselves that […]

Some fun quotes from science fiction writers

15 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

Clarke’s Three Laws When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced […]

Homosexuality and an Orthodox pastoral response

14 July 2011 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

Before I go into what our hierarchs have said as their pastoral response to people with homosexual inclinations, let me first speak to a couple of matters. The first is that an Orthodox believer asked about support for the person with those inclinations struggling to live a life that adheres to Orthodox standards. One of our readers […]
