The Wandering Heretic

I made a tribute post to the author/priest/sociologist Andrew M. Greeley almost two years ago now after his accident. Greeley was a huge influence in my life and remains so through his books and articles. Well, for some time after that, people wrote comments asking for updates on Fr. Greeley’s condition. I have had no [...]

My last post discussed problems with the current (and historic for that matter) expositions of Revelation Chapter 20. I noted how the fact that there remains nations in need of, and receiving, healing from the New Jerusalem in Revelation Chapter 21 places that city outside the confines of eternity (which by definition is past the [...]

On April 6th I read the news I’ve been dreading for months: Michael Spencer, the Internet Monk—the man who inspired me and probably thousands like me—was dead at the age of 53. For those who don’t know (and there can’t be many of you) Michael was the premiere blogger of things Christian. His posts were [...]

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 a lecture. As [...]

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. Also, many Canadians are being charged even if Americans post supposedly “hate filled” comments on their websites [...]

Though I have been inactive for a couple of weeks, I have not given up blogging. It is one of my few remaining passions in life. However another passion took precedence for the last few weeks. My daughter graduated out if High School Homeschooling last week. About 11 mothers, headed up by the formidable Susan [...]

There is little question that the Doctrine of Supersessionism is what is currently behind the concerted attacks by Jewish interviewers against Anne Coulter. Though Anne is probably not the best spokesperson for orthodox, historic Christianity, there is little doubt that at least for the time being, she has been thrown into that position. For some [...]

Michael Spenser, the Internet Monk, issued a challenge for bloggers to devote a post (and maybe a picture) to a Bible that has a special place in our spiritual journey. I actually did such a post over a year ago when I reviewed the “Christian Community Bible: the Pastoral Edition.” In honor of Spencer, I [...]

Since I will be making arrangements for my father’s funeral, I will not be doing much posting this week. In addition, I just don’t feel like it. In honor of my dad, I want to list the posts I made reflecting on him and his trip with cancer toward his eventual death. It was a [...]

Dedicated to the Memory of My Father Once upon a time, God became tired of all the children who complained each night about the parents He gave them.  This criticism of His choices in parentage increased exponentially once the same children reached their teenaged years.  So God decided on an experiment.  He created the souls [...]
