Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns
Leonardo Boff reflects on the 90th birthday of Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns.
When someone is hungry...
"When someone is hungry we do not see samosas floating down from heaven." A classic Desmond Tutu quotation.
A good news story...

What are other churches saying, I wonder? Church of England, anyone?
The new muscular 'Christianity'
I am speechless. More or less. Where do you even begin with such a fundamental misunderstanding of Revelation? Where do you even begin to analyse such complete and utter bullshit?

Ok, forget facebook, use blogger
I have not written here for almost a year. No idea whether anyone ever reads this, but what the heck.
From now on, I'll use the brief posts I tend to put on facebook on this blog instead. I can't promise I'll always add a little theological commentary, but there it is.
I'll start by using some old posts from facebook.
