Seriously, now, I'm not sure. Let's check the archives for the reason I gave when I started it. Here is my first day of posting:

Book Review from Butler

Just read part of a book called "The Catholic Left" back from before Hans Kung got the hatchet. There were some valid issues brought up, mostly with regards to social issues. The Church is doing a rather good job for a mostly unfunded organization, I think, but there's about a billion people that need more food to survive, so something's not quite right. Most of it was, however, the same old stuff. Calls for contraception, etc. Reasoning, emotions above logic. Emotions certainly have their place. I often have to fight to keep them out, and they always sneek back in, to logical arguments. But in matters such as these, you have to keep in mind that a good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit.

The harvest hasn't been very good lately.

Catholic and Enjoying It! on the Iraq war

Mark Shea calls it like it is again. I just wish I knew where I stood in the whole process. But hey, no one ever said decision-making was easy.

Note for the curious: No, the Vatican didn't say that the war was wrong, they said that the process was deeply flawed. No pacifism involved. If you need confirmation of that, check out the Carthars. What Carthars, you say? Exactly.

Old Oligarch's Painted Stoa

I have to say, when I saw The Matrix Revolutions last night I thought it really sucked. Like, a lot. After reading this article, which contains spoilers (BEWARE), I liked the philosophy/theology a lot more. Mostly because I understood it coming from this guy, and not in the theater. It resolves a lot of questions, gets into the Christology of Neo a bit. Good stuff.

Recommend reading some of his other articles, esp. about playboy.

Alrighty there folks. I decided to get a blog. This will not be one of those livejournal diaryland things. This is for serious discussion of serious topics by serious people. No fun allowed!

I guess that pretty much covers it. I filch from OO and CAEI, write some bizarre commentary, and call it a day :-).

I guess purpose will have to wait a little.
