Watching the Episcopal Church Collapse

I’ve added a link to David Virtue’s VirtueOnline in my blogroll.

Mr. Virtue does an excellent job of covering the news of the Episcopal ‘Church’ in its headlong rush to heresy as well as covering the wider Anglican movement.

His masthead states:

VirtueOnline is the Anglican Communion’s largest Biblically Orthodox Online News Service, read by 3,000,000 readers in 45 countries each year. Challenging, controversial, never dull, VirtueOnline exists to keep its readers informed about the worldwide Anglican Communion and to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I’ve always had a morbid fascination with Anglicanism. My wife used to be an ECUSA member. I remember going to a local church once. They were rather traditional. I remember saying to her, ‘Wow, it’s the pre Vatican 2 Mass in English.’ I was surprised! I thought I would see a basically protestant reading, preaching, singing service.

I’ve watched the ECUSA’s decline and learned a bit more of its history over the years. Even so, I go back to the same thought – why do these people choose to follow a king (queen) other than the real King? The whole enterprise began with politics and will die in politics.

Anyway, Mr. Vitue provides an interesting blow-by-blow of the coming train wreck.

Everything Else

Today’s interesting, funny, and the power of mom

Browsing some of my favorite blogs today I ran across the following:

From A Conservative Blog for Peace: Rod Dreher considers a crunchy-traditionalist option – Rod Dreher is editor of the Sunday commentary section of The Dallas Morning News, and author of “Crunchy Cons” (Crown Forum), a nonfiction book about conservatives, most of them religious, whose faith and political convictions sometimes put them at odds with mainstream conservatives. Born and raised a Methodist in south Louisiana, he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1993. He has written for the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal on religious issues.

Mr. Dreher and his family are in the process of a lot of soul searching in regard to Roman Catholicism. They need prayers for this difficult journey. They also need a lot less of the snarky criticism that some R.C. commentators just love to engage in. Read about his search and his reasons it in his own words.

I wholeheartedly agree with the motivations. I’ve been through it myself.

From Orthodixie: Was Gilligan’s Island hell and was Gilligan Satan? Funny, interesting, and well —“ a little scary.

Also, Fr Joseph Huneycutt has a book out: One Flew Over the Onion Dome — American Orthodox Converts, Retreads & Reverts

The book is available from the Regina Orthodox Press.

There’s been a lot of discussion on-line about converts, reverts, and those who were born into the faith. I imagine that the book will be quite interesting.

From Bonfire of the Vanities: Fr. Martin Fox did a homily this past Sunday, Making Jesus Known in the Breaking of the Bread, which he posted to his blog. The homily had some humor about children in Church and why those who complain about being ‘distracted’ by children are missing the whole point. Well, mothers who do home schooling have been talking up this homily and his stats show the power of these moms.

In our parish we have no nursery or ‘crying room’. We want those children right in church, with their families throughout the Holy Mass. That is where they will learn by the very behavior their parents model.

Saints and Martyrs

May 4 – St. Florian (Św. Florjan)

Boże! Tyś nadzieja i nadgroda moja! Niechaj mię katy męczą, zaprzeć się Ciebie stwórcy i odkupiciela nie mogę. Twój jestem żołnierz, niech mię więc wzmacnia ręka Twoja. Daj mi serce mocne, ku wycierpieniu tej męki, i policz mię między wiernych sług Twoich. Amen.
