From the blog of a conservative Baptist pastor: “More than a few preachers have said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s judgment on New Orleans. Which is apparently why it almost destroyed New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and left the French Quarter in place.” Father Orthoduck wonders whether this means that every time a hurricane hits […]
Still in love with my Kindle 2

WWJD – Healthcare edition
Michael Vick redux
Just last May, Fr. Ernesto ran a series on penology in the USA. As part of that series he pointed out our tendency to never forgive or forget what a criminal has done.

Old-timey worship songs?
Hmm, Father Orthoduck wonders if anyone remembers this old-timey song that mentions Jesus and was played on Lawrence Welk? He called it a “modern spiritual” at the end of the recording. Listen in and see what you think!
