It turns out that I did make it to Kraków

Last updated on: August 10, 2016 at 9:50 pm By Justin Tse

As a postscript to the last post where I introduced Eugenia Geisel, I just wanted to say – after all of my qualifying that I did not make it to World Youth Day in Kraków – I did in fact make it to drinks with some friends on the last night of their stay in Poland! Although I did also qualify that social media is not always immediate when it comes to World Youth Day, some of my friends (including Eugenia) were... Read more

A retraction to my students, some clarifications, a bit of fun, and a hearty introduction

Last updated on: August 11, 2016 at 12:34 am By Justin Tse

I’ve been quite quiet on the blog for the last few days because I’ve been working up a storm on other projects, but I thought I’d do a bit of a housekeeping post to let you know what has been going on and to introduce a series of guest posts from a person who was at World Youth Day who might be able to shed a different light on Eastern Catholic personhood, especially because she is Latin Catholic. Her name... Read more

I’m getting my chrismation icons blessed!

Last updated on: August 7, 2016 at 10:22 am By Justin Tse

I was chrismated on the Vigil of Ss Peter and Paul on June 28. It was the culmination of a long Christian journey that would be too long to tell here, but suffice it to say that the last leg of the road from the Anglican Communion to Eastern Catholicism took about eight years. Maybe one day I will talk about my entire story of coming into full communion with the Bishop of Rome through an Eastern Catholic Church, but... Read more

On discovering that the use of the atomic bomb was a moral problem

Last updated on: August 6, 2016 at 9:16 pm By Justin Tse

NOTE: This is a story of trauma. There are therefore traumatic details that I will give if you read on. My grandfather hated Japan. He hated Communists too, but that will take me a whole other post to work through. But it was my grandfather who first told me about the atomic bomb, and when he first told me about it, it was a story of triumph. I suppose there are many Americans who also hear about the atomic bomb... Read more

I was late to the Vigil of the Transfiguration, but I finally heard it

Last updated on: August 6, 2016 at 4:19 pm By Justin Tse

I was late to our temple’s Vigil of the Transfiguration last night, which in our church’s practice combines Great Vespers (an evening service) and Festal Matins (a morning service for Sundays and feast days). It was partly because I was so engrossed in trying to closely read Cardinal Tong’s apologia for dialogue between the Latin Church and the government of the People’s Republic of China. Before I knew it, it was time for Vigil, and I was already late. Read more

All We Can Do Is Read

Last updated on: August 5, 2016 at 4:30 pm By Justin Tse

I’m still working on reading through Cardinal Tong’s 8,000-word editorial in the Kung Kao Po (which, as it came to my attention, has been translated for UCA News), but as I have been reading and having conversations about this, it also occurred to me that I’m starting to develop something by way of a blog style that I hadn’t expected to develop before joining Patheos Catholic. It’s that this is just a log on the web of my reading as a person.... Read more

Reading Cardinal Tong amidst rumors of a China-Vatican deal

Last updated on: August 5, 2016 at 3:04 pm By Justin Tse

There’s an 8,000 word piece that just landed in Hong Kong’s Catholic newspaper, the Kung Kao Po, from Hong Kong’s current bishop, John Cardinal Tong Hon. That’s the successor to the retired Catholic Bishop of Hong Kong, about whom I tend to write a bit more often, Joseph Cardinal Zen Ze-ken. What it seems to be about is that the Vatican is going to work something out with China quite imminently. It’s been causing quite a stir on my news feed, even among... Read more

One of the persons who translated the World Youth Day song

Last updated on: August 5, 2016 at 12:09 am By Justin Tse

I said before that I knew one of the translators of the World Youth Day theme song, ‘Blest Are the Merciful.’ His name is Fr Lukasz Misko OP. I’m sure everyone else has their own Fr Lukasz stories from their personal encounters with him across the United States, but I will refrain from telling mine until, as Felix told St Paul, ‘a more opportune time.’ But as I said earlier, he was pivotal in my journey toward Eastern Catholicism. All... Read more

REPOST: Only Useful Idiots Would Say That Cardinal Zen Is Calling for Schism

Last updated on: August 4, 2016 at 5:07 pm By Justin Tse

NOTE: This post originally appeared on Artur Rosman’s blog on 7 July 2016. For some reason, it seems to be malfunctioning there. [FIXED! 5 pm, same day] I have posted it here again for your conveience. On June 30, 2016, the Italian news outlet La Stampa put out an article written by Gianni Valente with the provocative headline, ‘Zen to Chinese Catholics: If agreement with China is signed, do not follow the Pope.’ ‘Zen,’ of course, refers not to Buddhism, but...

For Archbishop Job of Telmessos, the question of Ukraine comes down to what a ‘canon’ is

Last updated on: August 4, 2016 at 12:00 pm By Justin Tse

I am eventually going to get around to my post on Francis’s flawed attempt at an Eastern Catholic solution to the ‘piecemeal third world war’ at World Youth Day. But I saw an interview with Archbishop Job of Telmessos from July 29 circulate through my news feed from the Religious Information Service of Ukraine (RISU), and because my philosophy of blogging is that this is a ‘web-log’ of some of my thinking, I thought I’d take some public notes on it. Who is... Read more
