It was rare, but he posted at least once (maybe twice) that I remember.

Not to go into too much detail, but I realized early on that Shea was not all that he seemed. On the original board he mentioned something about his anger at a girlfriend that he had in college, and it raised red flags. At, the time, he seemed calm and rational, so I thought it was out of character,...

He was like the Grinch, his heart was two sizes too small.

I don't think it's out of line to say that they questioned his orthodoxy at times. Which the Distorter still can't complain about because they are firmly in "it's okay to deny Church teaching" camp. What? Francis is the only Pope no one can legitimately dissent from? According to their wi...

Dr. Martin is near retirement age anyhow, and I don't think he needs another job, though that doesn't excuse what happened. He's 82 but doesn't act it. I'm in worse shape than he is, and I'm 71. Ralph Martin is 82 years old? No way. He was born in 1942. So depending on what month he was born, he ha...

Yes, I know but my question relates to the idea that striking the rock twice symbolized that Jesus only had to die once, not twice. I'm just wondering where that originated.

God told Moses to speak to the rock to make water come from it, but in his anger, he hit the rock with his staff, twice. And on top of that, when the Israelites asked where the water came from, Moses took credit for the miracle. That was Moses' sin, which kept him out of the Promised Land, not only...

Then, raising his hand, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, and water gushed out in abundance for the people and their livestock to drink. But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the children of Israel, you shall not lead...

I agree with Stella, don't give the devil too much attention.

Just on the surface, it seems rather risky to fire a canon lawyer unless you've covered all your bases.
Hopefully Ed Peters will be able to make enough waves, that the Bishop thinks twice about ever doing this again.

I have to admit, this is another one who I thought was already a doctor. The previous one was St. Therese of Lisieux.

In order to avoid being uncharitable, the only thing that I will say is that at least 2, and maybe all 3 will land on their feet. Ralph is someone I've heard speak at conferences, and Ed is someone I've frequently read articles of his. Whoever hires them will be better for it. Eduardo, I never heard...

Maybe it's a good time to remind the gentlemen that out of unfortunate necessity Mods and Admins can see their thread titles :-D which unfortunately does give a hint to the depth of the conversations taking place. :poke :poke I assure you we don't go in there though. :lol: Didn't realize that not e...

And they all seem to be in the post title, Cricket Chirping.
What does that tell you?

I'm going to give this one an honorable mention because while I'm familiar with some of the music, I never saw the play: The Fantasticks
