The Lost Art of Righteousness – Fr. Orthohippo
Fr. Orthohippo recently posted the below on his post. It is a good analysis about the masks the self-righteousness bears.

Wallababies and Australian crop circles, oh my!
From the blog Text Dash: Crop Circle Mystery Solved! I don’t write about aliens, although one day I may give it a try, but I love a good story about the supposed actions and motivations of planet Earth’s alien visitors. . . The BBC is now blaming stoned wallabies for crop circles in Aussie poppy […]
On the Orthodox and economic theories
Father Orthoduck wishes to point out that Fr. Ernesto was completely unaware that there have been two discussions on the very subject on Ancient Faith Radio, the section called The Illumined Heart.
