It took a little longer to return to this subject than I thought. But, what is Holy Tradition? In order to understand more about Holy Tradition, it is very helpful at this time to use a way of speaking that is much more common in the East than in the West. And that is what […]

Roots of Mysticism, post 02
In God, the ‘eros desire’ is outgoing, ecstatic. Because of it lovers no longer belong to themselves but to those whom they love. God also goes out of himself . . . when he captivates all creatures by the spell of his love and his desire . . . In a word, we might say […]
Descarados Republicanos
Descarado is a Spanish word that may have several meanings, but one of them is shameless. The root of the word is cara, which means face. So, a descarado is a “faceless” person, that is a person without honor, in other words, a shameless person. For those of you who are into cultures, this word […]
Christians behaving goodly
Today the New York Times has a story on the Roman Catholic school system in France providing sanctuary to Muslim students. You can read it here. The schools are still overtly Roman Catholic, with crucifixes in every room. But, they also allow respect the Islam of the students, and, as the article points out, they […]

Palin prevarications
Back on 31 July, I posted a blog commenting on receiving yet another anti-Obama e-mail that turned out to be false. In fact, on the Urban Legends Reference Pages, Obama rumors are still the number one source of Urban Legends, bar none. But, he may not get to keep the number one spot for long. […]
McCain vs Obama, next morning hangover
I thought I would wait until the next morning to sleep then write a final very short post. My initial impression is still my impression today. There was no clear winner of the debate last night. Interestingly enough, the comedian Chris Rock is saying the same thing today. However, it must be kept in mind […]
