Trust me on this one, TC, Damick is no better than Dreher. If ever a man loved the self important sound of his own bloviating, it’s Damick. He’s part of that American convert class of Orthodox priests who claim their mission is to “de-mystify” Orthodoxy.

I don’t know why I’m bothering: three boys are coming home from camp tomorrow, and the filth will be ghastly. I’ll probably have to go to the Laundromat, too.
I took my Akathist booklet to the gym this morning, for prayer on the (multiple deleted expletives) elliptical trainer. You Greeks sure can put words together!
