The Wandering Heretic

I was shocked to find out that the Roman Catholic priest and writer, Andrew M. Greely, was seriously injured in a freak accident last Friday, November 7th. According to a report in the Chicago Sun Times, the priest had taken a cab to the L station in Chicago to return home after [...]

And don’t think I am protected since I don’t live in Canada. After all, Mark Stein is living in America and he was charged via the Canadian Human Rights Commission with publishing “hate speech” in a Canadian magazine.

It is now official!  Taylor Hicks is the 2006 American Idol.  My guilty pleasure apparently was the guilty pleasure of a large percentage of the USA population as well.  And yes, I voted last night.  I literally laid on my redial button from 9:00 until 1:00 AM trying to vote (and getting through about only [...]

William Stringfellow was the only layman on a panel to interview Karl Barth on one of his few visits to America. During that interview, Stringfellow asked a question that fascinated Barth. Knowing Barth’s conflicts with the Nazi party during the war as well as the present (at that time) civil crisis in America, Stringfellow’s question [...]
