I’ve been reading the Shack this week while I’ve been sitting on the beach here in Maui. I am reminded here on vacation, when I am required to do NOTHING, of God’s incredible creation and of how important getting away is. In the past years I’ve filled a lot of my vacation time with trips to big cities…the busy kind of vacationing…not much relaxing. I like both kinds but this has been what I needed. It was Socrates that said “An unexamined life is not worth living” and I have to say tha

Hartford, Conn., Jul 7, 2009 / 02:49 am ( CNA ).- The Connecticut Attorney General has called upon the Office of State Ethics (OSE) to abandon action against the Diocese of Bridgeport, citing “profound and serious constitutional concerns” in its investigation into whether the Catholic Church in the state acted as a lobbyist in opposing radical legislation that would have forcibly reorganized the Church.

The “Introduction” to The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church by Vladimir Lossky was an important turning point in my growing awareness of the importance of sound theology in the Christian life and in the Christian church. This is not to say we must become theological fundamentalists who have every question exhaustively resolved and/or permit no differences of opinion or expression on matters of Christian teaching or practice.

Yesterday’s pompous airborne standoff between the circling president Zelaya and the Honduran army which was blocking his landing had all the drama of a classic moment in history without the accompanying sense of meaning. Reporters seem, unsurprisingly, unable to work out its political consequences. Ever since the remarkable events surrounding the failed coup attempt against Chávez, Latin American crises have tacked dangerously close to the absurd in their taste for the dramatic, and yesterday wa

21-22 After proclaiming the Message in Derbe and establishing a strong core of disciples, they retraced their steps to Lystra, then Iconium, and then Antioch, putting muscle and sinew in the lives of the disciples, urging them to stick with what they had begun to believe and not quit, making it clear to them that it wouldn’t be easy: “Anyone signing up for the kingdom of God has to go through plenty of hard times.” 23-26 Paul and Barnabas handpicked leaders in each church.

“War Communism”, the Red Terror, and Lenin’s Famine Almost immediately after they seized power, Lenin’s Bolsheviks inaugurated an endless stream of economic decrees and policies. These proved to be disastrous, resulting in a horrific famine, depopulation of the cities, and an enormous decline in living standards. So unpopular were these policies that after they were finally altered in mid 1921, Lenin tried to re-write their history.

About 10 years ago when I was finishing up the process of formation for being ordained as a deacon, I recall one class session in which we were asked to identify the prophets of our time. I recall hearing the names, among others, of Pope John Paul II, Mother Theresa of Calcutta, Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Day, Gandhi, and Archbishop Oscar Romero. Something I noticed was that, other than two or three notable contemporary names, we tended to select figures from the past 40 years or so of re
