https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/8he3xhblomm Father Orthoduck wonders what the liturgical rules are for a fire. Well, I guess that Father Orthoduck had better explain. Yesterday, Father Orthoduck was assistant priest at a Divine Liturgy in which he had been asked to help because the deacon was out of town. In Orthodox worship the deacon (or junior priest) cleans up […]

Advent begins in nine days. Advent is the English name descended from the Latin name for the season. It is called either the Nativity Fast or St. Philip’s Fast. And, like Lent it is 40 days long, but it is a lighter fast than the Lenten fast or the Dormition Fast. But, this is not […]

Rash of fired and/or suspended reporters

6 November 2010 · by Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

Have you noticed that there has been a rash of either fired or suspended news media reporters? From Juan Williams to now Keith Olbermann the rash of suspensions has been interesting and rather sad. There have been others fired or suspended but these are the most recent two. In fact, it has been open season […]

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/isvyy4ma Well, the last two years politically have been a type of roller coaster. Two years ago the Republicans were thrown out. Now two years later, the Democrats are thrown out of the House of Representatives. I am fairly sure that we are in for another two years of turmoil. If nothing else, I suspect that […]

I got a sad and humorous chuckle when I read the cartoon above. I agree with grandma in the cartoon a little more than I agree with mom. I do not see myself as a great parent. I will still, in my darkest moments, look back and wonder how many things I could have done […]

I could not find a way to actually hook this into my blog site so that you could watch it, a la YouTube. So, please go to here. Make sure to watch it all the way through or you will miss the surprise ending. It is one of the more creative and humorous adverts of […]

Quote from yesterday’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear

https://www.varesewedding.com/bnujz8fj 31 October 2010 · by Fr. Orthoduck 5 Comments

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/2t3lbt6lgi3 Father Orthoduck found the quote below from yesterday’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear to be a particularly good one: “There are terrorists and racists and Stalinists and theocrats, but those are titles that must be earned,” Stewart said. “You must have the resume. Not being able to distinguish between real racists and tea partiers, […]

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/ue0zrbd Today is the day when many Christians take up torches and go to storm the local castle. Today is the day when too many Christians rise up in fury and denounce anyone who participates in paganism by allowing their children to have a good time. Today is the day when all too many American conservative […]
