Easter 3 - An Open Letter to ISIS



Click Here to Read Bishop LeMarquand's Letter to His Fellow Anglicans.



A Quote From The Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
From the Book The Eternal Galilean


If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world, as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church which is accused of being behind the times, as Our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is being accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God, as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusion of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly, it is other-worldly. Since it is other-worldly it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore, the Church is Divine. Therefore it is the life of Christ among men! Therefore we love it! Therefore we hope to die in its Blessed Embrace!

Lent 2

Let's get this straight - she is a Canaanite.  NOT a Samaritan!  The priest was under-caffeinated and had Samaria on the brain.  Mea culpa, mea culpa...
