Junk and Junk

Surprising the heck out of MCF. Some of the other stuff wasn’t posting right so:

The Men in Black

Besides weirdisms, X-Files was known for its intricate conspiracy theories. How many times did we sit there, hanging on Mulder’s next word as he ranted about a multi-governmental unelected agency of individuals actually running the world (of which FEMA was a façade). And it was scary.

Harry Potter Book 7: The Deathly Hallows

There might be spoilers down below because I can’t control comments. I specifically stayed off the web when my book came in and waited until I could actually read (and finish) it before getting back online. All I will say is this: “Bloody Wow.”

Children of Hurin

I can’t even go into real details because Tolkien’s world is so expansive but this book was phenomenal. I’m not just saying that because I love Tolkien either. I’ve read Turin Turumbar’s story in the Silmarillion and again in The Book of Lost Tales but the way the story was compiled for CoH really allowed the characters to shine without trying to look at the greater story occurring all around.

So from opening the book twenty four hours ago to closing it I find myself weeping.

Outstanding.

I Heart Psych

Awesome Read: The Dresden Series

On average, I tend to read about fifteen books at once. Sometimes I even finish them. While impatiently waiting for the next installment of any series (the Star Wars Legacy of the Force Series (stil writing), George R. Martin’s (still writing), Robert Jordan’s (in recovery) and J.K. Rowling’s (july 21) ) I decided to try something new and somewhat finished. So I logged onto the SFBC and ordered Jim Butcher’s Dresden Series.

Protestants Protest…Again

This just in: the Catholic Church doesn’t think Protestant Churches are true churches (as they define it). It cracks me up that Protestants are flipping out about this since its basically the same position since the 16th Century. Here’s the clause causing fuss even though I link to the full thing above, here and here.

Fifth Question: Why do the texts of the Council and those of the Magisterium since the Council not use the title of “Church” with regard to those Christian Communities born out of the Reformation of the sixteenth century?
Response:
According to Catholic doctrine, these Communities do not enjoy apostolic succession in the sacrament of Orders, and are, therefore, deprived of a constitutive element of the Church. These ecclesial Communities which, specifically because of the absence of the sacramental priesthood, have not preserved the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic Mystery[19] cannot, according to Catholic doctrine, be called “Churches” in the proper sense[20].

Do The Evolution

Evolution is a funny word that gets bandied about. Saying it in different context evokes different responses, sometimes laughter and sometimes justified anger. In fact, I’ve been in conversations where a person is using evolution in one sense and me in a completely different sense and both of us have gotten riled up until we pinned down our terms.
