So, you do not know why the book, Never Ceese, fits the worldview of Roman Catholic Christianity? Well, let Father Orthoduck tell you. But, let Father Orthoduck warn you that there is some heavy theology ahead. OK, here is the theology. All Christians agree that the Fall has damaged humanity, but they do not agree […]
The American Revolution and morality, part 03
Now having said what I said on the first two posts in this series, you might assume that I am against any possibility of revolution. But, that would be wrong. My question was whether one could develop any Christian theology of a just revolution. And, I have pointed out that this is a very difficult […]
The American Revolution and morality, part 02
Now some of you may be thinking that to question the morality of the American Revolution has to be some type of strike against conservative Christians or some attempt to do away with the idea that the USA is a Christian country. But, it may surprise you to know that the question has been raised […]
The American Revolution — was it moral?
Father Greg and I have both posted on our respective blogs on the issue of just revolution lately. When is a revolution moral by Christian standards? This is very important because the claim of many of us is that the USA has a basic Christian foundation. I think that it is beyond the shadow of […]
On Romans 13 and government

Father Orthoduck wishes to apologize for Pat Robertson. He wishes to state that his comments are not to be taken as representative of Christian attitudes in the USA on the whole.

What does it mean to think Christianly? — part 03
“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. — Jesus of Nazareth […]
What does it mean to think Christianly? — part 02
In yesterday’s post, I began to talk about the idea of thinking Christianly. There is, of course, a philosophical component to that, but that is not all that I was talking about.
