Nope... Catholic Church!
Wonderful! Thanks for the ping!

Sometimes. Other times, it's more like mud-wrestling. Just for a change of pace, I sometimes just bang my head against the wall.
I've been a Roman Catholic for 50 years, and I never heard of that being issued from the Roman Pontiff on down the line ... but I hear that from the protestants all the time ...
We get a draft pick and theologian to be named later. We tried to get a free agent, but the Calvinists said there is no such thing.
You can have Richard McBrien, Megan McKenna, and gaggle of St. Louis Jesuits.
(j/k ... y’all deserve better :-).
Hope to see him on an upcoming episode of EWTN's The Journey Home.
I hope Dr. Koons makes as good a Roman Catholic as Jaroslav Pelikan made an Orthodox Christian and that he contributes as much to the Roman Church as Dr. Pelikan did to Orthodoxy.
Dr. Koons and Beckwith, welcome across the Tiber. You have quite a big family. The church will be invaluable to you and vice-versa.
Welcome Home.
Prayers up.
Larry, that’s a very witty response.
I loved Dr. Pelikan’s articles in “First Things.” He had a lovely vocabulary, so I enjoyed reading him even if I didn’t understand half of it.
Are you familiar with David Hart, another Orthodox writer who is often in “First Things”? He has a wonderful vocabulary, too, and a sense of humor that’s positively O’Rourke.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

No worries, the Episcopalians have right of first refusal on that crowd . . .
