Yesterday I attended the consecration of the Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross in Christ Church Cathedral Dublin. Is Filioque now optional in the liturgy of that place ?

Recently, I presided at St. John the Evangelist, Sandymount, following in the footsteps of Fr. Fletcher Sheridan Le Fanu and Fr. Samuel Randal Sproule Colquhoun; a fine tradition.

According to Mrs. Fennell her offering is best understood through the lens of a fourteen year old girl. Or rather a fourteen year old girl's expierence of the novel. Mind you, the Methodist undertones are oft neglected from the novel.

Hmmm... The Transfiguration. Always a good time to examine our vision of Christ before Lent and ask ourselves, does it embrace humanity and divinity or are we drawn to one over the other ? Yeah, some solid Christology tomorrow rather than the usual... "Daz transfigures your whites."

Funny I also played the upgraded Red Dead for the S Series. I still think it is one of the best games created. I'm currently engrossed in Deliverence Kingdom Come. I downloaded the "Royal Package" which has given both core games and all the DLCs.
