Sadly, the following story was recently posted on the online version of the American Bar Association Journal (ABA Journal): A Catholic priest already facing criminal sexual-assault charges in a Texas has been re-arrested and jailed in lieu of $700,000 bail in Dallas County after allegedly seeking a contract hit on the claimed victim, who is […]
Buy this Orthodixie CD audio
Okay, I want to recommend an audio CD to you. It is the audio version of a book by Fr. Joseph Huneycutt. Let me say that anything published by Fr. Joseph is worth reading. In fact, I highly recommend anything written by Fr. Joseph, any podcast by Fr. Joseph, etc. So, here is the listing […]
On building an Orthodox Advent wreath
Father Orthoduck must apologize. While he wrote about there being Orthodox Advent wreaths and Orthodox Advent calendars available, he was only half right. There are commercial Orthodox Advent calendars available. However, it appears that one must build one’s own Orthodox Advent wreath. Nevertheless, there are directions on multiple sites on how to build one. The […]
Quote from yesterday’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear
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, […]
Some Halloween thoughts

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.

Treatment of veterans
Yet again today, I saw another episode of a show which depicts a veteran with post-traumatic stress syndrome going wacky. Worse, the show investigated the possibility that his stress was the result of some illegal government experiments. Fortunately, by the end of the show, the government turned out to be innocent. But, at the end […]
Child abuse is non-discriminatory
Here is a statistic from 10 years ago: In 1999, an estimated 3,244,000 children were reported to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies as alleged victims of child maltreatment. Child abuse reports have maintained a steady growth for the past ten years, with the total number of reports nationwide increasing 45% since 1987 (Nation Committee for […]
Quantum mechanics and weird snake oil salesmen
I was very busy yesterday so have yet to be able to continue the comments that I made on shoes and cultures the day before yesterday. Instead, I will leave you with the beginning of an article that many of you might enjoy reading. Alan Boyle writes: Can the weirdness of quantum mechanics make you […]
