Recently Orthocath, a fellow blogger, published a very nice article on the Eastern Orthodox usage for Prosphora bread versus the Eastern Catholic usage that has developed as a result of latinizing tendencies. It is an excellent article on various details of the Proskomedia, the theology behind it, and the usages that have developed. One of […]
Don’t bother the priest!
All priests have had holy moments interrupted by people who are either utterly clueless or are so self-absorbed that they cannot conceive of the idea that there are limits on their behavior. Almost always the priest controls the situation, speaks politely to the person and tries to guide them back to a more appropriate behavior. […]
God, science, and Fr. Thomas Hopko
Thanks to a friend, Father Orthoduck is going to give you a link rather than trying to continue the subject of Christianity and science. Why so? Because the link is to a series of podcasts on Darwin and Christianity by Father Thomas Hopko. Now Fr. Hopko is one of the leading Orthodox theologians in the […]
Incredible guitar playing
Tico_Tico _-_ Duo_ Siqueira_Lima Uploaded by trucysuryonne. – Explore more music videos. The above video has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that either Father Ernesto or Father Orthoduck has posted recently. It is simply a fun video for today.
The god of the gaps
A person who commented on yesterday’s post had some things to say with which I agree, even though s/he meant them as a criticism. Nevertheless, it does allow me to make a couple of points. Speaking of religious scientists s/he said: There’s only a problem when they invoke god, also known as magic, to solve […]
Current cosmology and the Church
As I commented yesterday, the Church has often had a hard time knowing how to respond to advances in cosmology. There has been a tendency to go to one of two extremes. One extreme is that most often cited by the news media, the Galileo trial and the Scopes trial, one by the Roman Catholic […]
E.J. Dionne on the politics of stupidity
Father Orthoduck has been having to travel all too much lately. So, he has not had time to think any of several issues through. Nevertheless, the article below by E.J. Dionne is one that he thinks all of us can take to heart. Do take the time to read it through, as it ends up […]
Pithless Thoughts on true priesthood
Father Orthoduck is on the road, so he is printing below parts of a post from Pithless Thoughts. Please do follow the link and read the full post. Father Ernesto hopes to be able to blog again tomorrow. It is no secret to those who know me that I aspired to the priesthood for about […]
Coffee and enlightenment
Father Orthoduck wishes that he had known that it was this easy years ago. It would have certainly saved him fasting, prayer, Bible study, etc. But, there are definitely mornings when the statement above sure seems like a true statement!
Do I look illegal?
Father Orthoduck has preempted Father Ernesto’s discussion on government to present the video below. Certainly, one of the functions of government is to ensure that the laws are written in such a way that they do not lead to inappropriate profiling. As our laws often put it, it is important for government functionaries to have […]
