"I don't know. Do they speak Greek?"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) How is the budding Patristics scholar these days?

Notice the author of the piece is a Jesuit, which is about all most of us even need to understand.

Pat's doing fine, although he and the cat are in competition over who's going to control James. In a few weeks, I'll have to decide whether to register Pat for religious ed. for the fall. I need to talk with the director over who's likely to teach kindergarten classes.

All I can say is this: We live in strange times when I find greater doctrinal fellowship among many Protestants than I do among far too many Catholic theologians!

Edward T. Oakes, S.J., teaches theology at the University of St. Mary of the Lake.

To be fair, I have met some rather orthodox Jesuits who were more comfortable talking to me than many of their fellows. But he was (I suspect) a rather small minority.

I have heard and seen more who would be very comfortable in the ECUSA.
