One fine priest

I have discovered the most engaging religious scholar, thinker, writer and speaker that I have come across in many a decade. Father Robert Barron   is well known to others but it took a special online friend to turn me on to him.  He knows a lot about contemporary culture and he has some brilliantly insightful things to say about it. Plus his education and smarts, he's an appealing communicator.  He enjoys what he does and the audience enjoys watching him do it. I am hooked. If it matters at all, I'm not Catholic.

Church Forever

The Christian Church will survive in spite of itself. In spite of all the dreadful things done by its crazy leaders and members over the centuries.  Why will it survive? My far left friends will not like my simple minded answer a whole lot:  Because God wants it to.

Don't dally with the Dalai

I must be missing something about the Dalai Lama. I confess to being just a bit puzzled that he is apparently the most revered spiritual leader on the planet, almost always referred to as "His Holiness" by those who don't usually speak with such reverence about anyone.

The Bible Says ...

Quoting the Bible to prove or disprove something is a pointless pursuit than only leads to an argument.
