Our bishop gave a very good homily on this yesterday. In the course of it, he reminded us that every time you write a check, you acknowledge the Kingship of Christ - that is, a check has to be dated, and you are dating it from the start of the reign of Christ the King, just as the Romans used to date their events from the years of the beginning of the term or reign of their various rulers.

He said he absolutely refuses to use CE and BCE (Common Era and Before Common Era, the PC way of dealing with BC and AD).

"He said he absolutely refuses to use CE and BCE"

As do I. I think a freeper once posted that if in a position where someone was forced to use it, to think of it as "Christian Era" and "Before Christian Era." :)
