The End Is Here

All,

So you are wondering, where have you been?

That's a fair question, but it's one that I really won't take any more digital space to answer other than to say, working -- family, job and the occasional night out with the Mrs. Anyways, this blog has given me a moment. That moment has passed. My Catholic faith has informed me in such a way to realize that your work can be your apologetic. For me, it is. For that reason, I'm no longer publishing, commenting, et. al. on this blog.

I may reemerge. When I do, though, it won't look like this.

Peace to you on your journey,

In the Words of Cardinal Dolan...

...as he so elegantly explains the counter-cultural nature of the Catholic Church. The piece is simply brilliant:

Jesus, His Church and "the uns"

Bye-Bye Trinity

I want to bring to your attention an interesting conversation over at Called to Communion. If you think certain dogmas are "too central" to Christianity to be disregarded by "mainstream Christians", think again.

Without the Church, provincial versions of Christianity are headed for dogmatic nihilism (i.e., you can "know nothing for certain"). Or to put it more softly, mere Christianity will get a whole lot more mere  and whole lot less Christian. 

Also, I think David Anders brings it home and says something I've experienced too since becoming Catholic.

Peace to you on your journey.

Merry Christmas!

Emmanuel!
