Just finished Windswept House. He was writing about the plot to force a papal resignation back in the 90's. He also sets forth the reason for church scandals, being Satan's effectiveness in fighting the church by corrupting her from within. I read Keys of This Blood a while ago. It's a great...

You have no authority to spin the priest. He may even be restricted from spinning by the bishop. It is probably safe to assume he is opposed to spinning and wouldn't rock the boat by trying it out. You could ask if he ever celebrated ad orientem to start a conversation, but you might frighten...

The NIV does not have all of the books of Holy Scripture. What I read primarily is the RSV2CE in the Didache Bible. What I buy to give away to new readers of the Bible is a New Testament in the GNT or NAB.

As to Hierodeacon Paul Ballester-Convolier, he was ordained an orthodox deacon at age 25 or 26. Presumably, he converted some time before that. I am not aware that he was ordained in the Catholic Church at all. From his article, he seems to have believed that the Catholic Church holds that Paul...

After reading the Joseph Suaiden articles referenced above, I think a concluding paragraph can sum up his response from an Orthodox perspective. Here is a quote from one of the articles linked above as A 2nd Response to James Likoudis. Much of the article is disputation about whether the...
