Thoughts of a Byzantine Catholic Pro-Life Activist. Womenpriests have a lot to teach us. About inconsistencies in the Reformed understanding of ordination! June 15, 2010 in Protestant/Catholic Debate. Here we go again. Roman Catholic Womenpriests. Have “ ordained. And that leads to a question: since the very concept of ordination is, by necessity, much looser in protestantism, are women “priests” or “ministers” actually “priests” or “ministers”? Do they have real authority from God? Certainly Scripture s...

What to Make of Gay Marriage | Homesick No More
https://mattyonke.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/gaymarriage
Thoughts of a Byzantine Catholic Pro-Life Activist. What to Make of Gay Marriage. June 16, 2010 in Culture. With the Prop 8 trial. Finishing up today, I’ve been thinking a bit about the issue. Part of me, the part that was dominant for a long time, felt that, much like the previous post on women being ordained as priests, it didn’t really matter because nothing spiritual was actually happening from a Christian perspective. I’ve since been persuaded by other arguments that are really tangential to t...

Thoughts of a Byzantine Catholic Pro-Life Activist. Father Failure is Cyclical. June 22, 2010 in Music. Harry Nilsson is one of the great singer-songwriters of all time. John Lennon and Paul McCartney both acknowledge Nilsson as the greatest living American working the craft. His songs ranged from silly, like the ubiquitous “ Coconut. 8221; to deeply personal, like this one, “1941.” And the guy has an absolutely amazing voice. All Who Wander Are Not Lost. Athiesm, Where Is Thy Sting? If You Need A Laugh.

Thoughts of a Byzantine Catholic Pro-Life Activist. Hey, remember when Matt Yonke used to blog? June 4, 2010 in Blogging. He did, I swear. For years and years. Then he dropped it like a hot rock back in the spring of ought 9. It was especially fun to read back on all the old discussion we had about Catholicism, contraception, Church history and all that fun stuff. So let’s tear it up like we used to. Let’s get the band back together. Whaddya say? All Who Wander Are Not Lost. Athiesm, Where Is Thy Sting?

Thoughts from a Ragamuffin: At an impasse
http://thoughtsfromaragamuffin.blogspot.com/2008/03/at-impasse.html
Thoughts from a Ragamuffin. Just another ragamuffin stumbling through this world, desperately needing a Lamp for my feet and a Light for my path, working out my salvation with fear and trembling. And a lot of screwing up. Well, the dreaded moment has come. I was hoping to avoid it but it's here. We're at an impasse on the church question. So many things to weigh. Would our children, as they get older, enjoy a smaller more formal and traditional church and all that it encompasses in terms of how they ...

And a lot of screwing up. When the Roll is Called Up Yonder". When We All Get To Heaven". But beyond the music itself, I struggle with the lyrics and subject matter. I struggle for a couple of opposing reasons. For example, a couple of verses from “I'll Fly Away”:. Oh how glad and happy when we meet. And I guess...
