That is the big question du jour it seems. An answer in a piece written by Rachel Held Evans at the CNN Belief Blog sort of went viral last week. Soon after, Hemant Mehta (a blogger on the Patheos Atheist channel) also had a piece up over there, basically telling folks that atheists are HUGE on the internet, and the Jesus story is a myth so, why not throw in the towel? Interestingly, all of the hubbub seems to be... Read more

The Chinese Chesterton’s Thoughts on the Influence of Christianity on Common Law

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:19 pm By Frank Weathers

It’s been a long time since I shared thoughts here from my faithful departed friend named John C.H. Wu. I won’t bore you to death with the details of his life, as I’ve already done that in numerous posts before. Remember when he likened Saint Thérèse of Lisieux as having the mind of Lao Tzu, with the heart of Confucius? He’s written some amazing stuff. (more…) Read more

Pope Francis Wants YOU To Be An Intentional Disciple

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:19 pm By Frank Weathers

Shouldn’t comes as a shock really, as Jesus Christ wants the same thing from us too. Here’s a little snippet of Andrea Tornielli’s report on Pope Francis’s message to the leadership in South America, and to the episcopate everywhere. (more…) Read more

For Father Z’s Bad Analogies. Not.

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:19 pm By Frank Weathers

Back on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, I shared a little video called St. Patrick’s Bad Analogies. It’s a clever little video noting how when trying to use analogies to describe the Triune God, it’s easy to find yourself in the dire straits of ancient heresies. (more…) Read more

Because What You Expect Holiness To Be Is Often Wrong…

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 11:35 pm By Frank Weathers

Have you ever noticed how when you haven’t experienced something before, be it a person, a place, or a thing, your idea of what that experience would be like, and how it actually turned out to be, didn’t always jive? In fact it’s probably not much of a stretch to say that usually what you expected, and what you actually experienced, were as different from each other as night is to day. (more…) Read more
