Feast of the Three Hierarchs

My St. James Calendar of the Christian Year [http://www.touchstonemag.com/docs/navigation_docs/products_2006calendar.html] (one of the best calendars you'll ever buy) says that tomorrow the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates The Feast of the Three Hierarchs [http://www.goarch.org/en/special/listen_learn_

Wolf Crosses Over?

They say feminist Naomi Wolf is now a Christian [http://www.sundayherald.com/53663]. Could be. I'm neither convinced nor skeptical. I'm just waiting to see: > Today, Wolf seems sharp and incisive . This is no Valley Girl on some psychobabble trip. But when one of

Fessio Revises

Fr. Joseph Fessio earlier said that B16 doesn't believe Islam can be reformed. It raised a lot of eyebrows (though I tend to agree with such a belief). Fessio has modified his statement [http://www.chiesa.espressonline.it/dettaglio.jsp?id=45185&eng=y]. Earlier post [https:

Listening to the Homily

A priest offers practical suggestions for listening to the homily [http://hancaquam.blogspot.com/2006/01/put-down-missalette-hearing-homily.html]. They're pretty good, though he doesn't give any advice for trying to listen while your four-year-old tries to ask a question, your

Krazy Kanye

So does this mean George Bush hates Christians? > Kanye West, with a crown of thorns atop his head, poses as Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. The outspoken rapper defends his brash attitude inside the magazine's pages, on newsstands Friday. He

Priest Goes Brokeback

Priest announces he's gay [http://insidebayarea.com/sanmateocountytimes/localnews/ci_3427018]. Gets a standing O during Mass. Where else but the Bay Area? Yes, yes, the Bay Area has good Catholics, too. But this is a bit much, no matter where it takes place.

Hating Religion

A secularist takes apart the secularists's assault on Christianity [http://www.spiked-online.com/Articles/0000000CAF37.htm]. The article is somewhat condescending to Christian thinking and a little lengthy for my tastes, but it has a lot of good stuff. Excerpts: > First there was the controversy provoked

Santeria Surfaces

The odd religion of Santeria has drawn attention in southern California. It seems a group is butchering animals as part of their rituals. Authorities are investigating animal cruelty. I'm thinkin' it's freedom of religion. Who's to say these animals' blood doesn'

Ratzinger Stopped JPII?

I finally got through Paul Elie's long essay, "The Year of Two Popes" in The Atlantic Monthly (link to story [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200601/ratzinger], previous posts about same: 1 [https://thedailyeudemon.com/3685/], 2 [https://thedailyeudemon.com/3694/]). For the most part, the
