What is an icon?

I'm reminded, from time to time, that I have unused ones on my desktop.

The Orthodox have beautiful icons. It is a shame that we in the West have gradually pushed them aside. It is a testament to the protestantization that erroneously occurred after the fallout of Vatican II.

God be praised that JPII and BXVI have been selected as the Vicars of Christ on Earth in the following years. I am amazed and grateful to the Lord that this has happened. Our Orthodox brethren and we shall be reunited fully within our lifetimes, God willing.

The more faithful of the Protestants are swimming the Tiber or heading East. To me, it makes no difference. I am as much in communion with God as is kosta, and vice versa. We welcome all those who have strayed because of pride, hubris and arrogance, back into the fold.
