Taxes in Jerusalem
Looks like the city of Jerusalem is trying to forclose on the Armenian Orthodox property by charging them a tax that they have been exempt from. Probably warrants a nuclear response.

Ecumenical miracle with Saint Januarius
When Patriarch Bartholomew I held the relic, the dried blood within the ampoules unexpectedly liquefied. This miraculous occurrence, which remains unexplained by science, is traditionally believed to happen in response to the dedication and prayers of the local Napolitane faithful.

Pilcrows in the KJV
Apparently match liturgical readings in the Eastern Orthodox service. Weirdness!
(KJV is the King James Version of the Bible, for those not inclined to know such things.)

Cathodoxy
I never had much problem with the doctrine of the papacy, I think many of the theological differences between Catholics and Orthodox are greatly exaggerated, and I could never get past the sensation that a lot of Eastern hostility to Catholics was indistinguishable from the sort of hostility my Canadian relatives would exhibit toward Americans. I decided I wasn't interested in getting into a fight with people with whom I hold 99% of Christian teaching in common while the world is burning down around us.
