"The fellow who comes should be a great leader. He should not be afraid of you people (in the media). He should be a holy man. He should be a great teacher, and he should teach more by example than with words. And he should be funny." – Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop of Wasjington, DC
Cardinal McCarrick believes he will be retiring soon. There’s talk of Bishop Donald Wuerl replacing him. That greatly displeases some people. What are your thoughts?
“Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners; they are prominent among the apostles and they were in Christ before me.” – Romans 16:7
Were there female apostles? Were all apostoloi also prebyteroi and/or episcopoi? Were there once female episcopoi/presbyteroi in the Church?
So Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be in a screenplay of an Ayn Rand novel. While Rand’s rampant sense of individualism lends itself to Hollywood egos, I’d like to ask Angelina Jolie what Rand would have to say about saving the children in Cambodia and whatnot? I try to think of a connection and can only shrug.
Quick Links for Today:
I’m sorry there have been so many link posts lately. I can’t possibly give a full post to every interesting site I ever come across, but I would like to share them with folks. In fact, that desire brought about the existence of this blog in the first place. More importantly, though, it’s an easy way of giving readers something to look at when Real Life™ interferes with the process of writing real posts. The rate of frequency and length of link posts will drop very soon. The vast majority of these links were bookmarked ages ago and I just got around to doing some spring cleaning in Bloglines. However, that doesn’t mean that I’ll be posting much meaty stuff in the near future. For various reasons, I’ve been trying to cut down on blogging. It’s been interfering with other aspects of my life, not the least of which being my marriage. If any of my guest bloggers would like to step up and produce thoughtful content, I would be ever so grateful.
