Tonight I got to listen to fellow St. Blog's parishoner Mark Shea speak. Some of his speech material came from his essay "The Critics Rave". It was a fun and interesting talk about countering the Church's detractor's questions with another question, "Who do you say that the Church is?", a play off of a question Jesus posed to the apostles.

After the talk, I introduced myself and chatted for a bit. I'm not entirely certain he actually knew what blog I write, but he was polite enough to pretend he did. I bought a copy of "Making Sense Out of Scripture" and got him to autograph it. Then Donna Lewis and I talked his ear off for almost as long as he'd lectured. Poor fella.

Anyhow, check out his blog and see what the fuss is all about.
