Not a "nice" way to die. certainly, but definitely blessed. I read a story through Google Translate. The translation wasn't perfect, but what I read suggested that this priest died from a bomb blast, and dies praying for others. That sounds truly blessed to me.

:) It is absolutely appropriate, and I am happy to keep Mindy in my prayers.

I don't know if you are the only one, that's why I used the plural. No need for apologies, Dot. This is the first time anyone has said anything. Your heart was always in the right place, of that I am sure. Since I've come back though, I've seem him constantly overstep his bounds, getting...

True. Eastern Orthodox members should remind him of this, instead of encouraging him.

Wise man. I've never had anyone on ignore for any length of time, but I may end up doing the same.

St. Ambrose, St. Bede, St. Ephriam are a few that I can think of just off the top of my head.

You know that lion picture going around? Well... I'm just as disgusted by the pleasure I see in the shooters face... But let's talk priorities, people. 3,500 people murdered EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yea, pass on by, "Christian", pretend that there is nothing you can do. Stay quiet, just like the...

While we enjoy our charred animal flesh (my favorite!), alcohol, and explosives: It is good that we are free to protest hypocrisy, cruelty, and slaughter without fear of reprisal. Our real test will be to continue speak for our homeless and pre-born brothers and sisters when we no longer have...

Yea. Mmm hm. You're right, but you couldn't discern Elder Joseph's real point. Oh, except for your pet subject. Riiiight.

My priest was asked about end times in an enquirer class. He said that for those who watch the signs (i.e. those who take Holy Scripture seriously), every age looks like the end times, intentionally. Every age IS the end time for us. There will be a final end time, but the time for me to...

... So you think whining incessantly about perceived slights does the same? Actually, I'll quote one in your own camp as my final answer: Yea, I've read it, well over a year ago. Typical slander. I've never seen anything like what he describes in any of the people who respect Fr. Seraphim's...

The very same St Basil who is also called “the revealer of heavenly mysteries” (Ouranophantor), a “renowned and bright star,” and “the glory and beauty of the Church.” But yea, he was just an ignorant fundamentalist... But it's just because he didn't have the science of today to enlighten...
