Hey Doc, just what was the topic here anyway?

I say "whatever floats your boat" and to hell with what anyone else thinks about it. I thought the whole point (pun intended) was to communicate, not keep score.

MM snaps his best salute to both you and son, may he be safe. Thank you MM. But you don't have to salute, we're NCOs; we work for a living!

Two of them are of recruiting age now, and one has even expressed interest in enlisting. We get to go through that again come August. Number 3 son will be of recruiting age. Since Sergeant mom is a recruiting supervisor (Area NCOIC) in his High School area she's already had the "hands off" talk with eve

I just returned from taking my second oldest son to the airport. Michael is a newly minted Corporal in the Army. He was home for ten days on his final block leave before his unit rolls out to Iraq. He's headed to the Sunni Triangle. I won't get more specific, and am making a concentrated effort to self censor myself from using specifics. I work in military circles and

Appologies For Hit And Runs in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'd like to appologize to those people I engaged in discourse with and suddenly left hanging. Life kind of gets in the way sometimes. Those few moments I did have time to jot a few lines, I was bedeviled by an intermitent computer problem. I finally tracked it down to a failing hard drive that caused some power spikes and drags, and, believe it or not, to rearranging

Growing up in the Tridentine era Doc, my First Communion Missle is in Latin, I still have it by the way. When I became an Alter Boy, my responses were in Latin as well. St. John's Cathedral in our area still has one Tridentine Mass a Sunday. I guess it helps that the Archbishop is an old Irishman!! <img

had to look that one up! Well done! I should warn you that I had always wanted to be a Priest, since the 3rd grade. Life however, took a different course for me. That didn't stop me from devouring everything I could lay my hands on though. Even when I "forayed" into the other Christian denominations

Great comeback! One thing I will warn you about is that Sir Peter Maxwell is a caricture. Never take him seriously. I surmised as much. But, still, I always have liked the statues! I almost bought a "Station of the Cross" when they renovated our old Church. Life size too! My dad didn't think it would

We have similar stories Doc. I had to resort to the "Pauline Privilege" once in my Protestant marriage. That one is burried in Catholic Catechism. Old Fr. Cox had to go to the Archdiocese for a ruling on that one! (Boy do Priest's get cranky when you read more than they do!) Intersting topic Doc, and a lot of colorful responses. I guess when all is said and done, the measure of a (wo)man's faith is her/his wholehearted submission to the judgem

There is no King of England you stupid boy! Good true English Protestants worship God, not a bloody statue. In one of my wanderings away, and then back again to the RCC, it was explained to me best like this, (appologies to the source, I don't recall if it was written or spoken): "You carry pic

Josephus most of the time is a great go to guy on the history of the early church. He was a Jewish Historian and lived during the first century. He actually witnessed the sacking of Jerusalem in 70 AD. IHe is used in many commentaries especialy his "Antiquities of the Jews" for much info to give us an outside of scripture view of
