      Mike, the fact that Trump was 1st sitting president in US history since Roe V. Wade to address the annual march of life was highlighted in a blog post has absolutely nothing to do with Trump being a good or bad role model.

      I don't mean to be rude, but your incessant contrary & unreasonable comments on ByzTex have reached the point of being down-right obnoxious.

      You would do well to consider implementing the grandmotherly advice: "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all", or, I would add, at least fight harder against the urge to make unsolicited irrational and/or antagonistic comments.

      No doubt about it, he is an angry young man in a world filled with angry young men...

      Mike, I love the cognitive dissonance of supporting this dumpster fire of a human being for this one thing whilst ignoring every other one of his inhuman and unChristian policies.

    This past presidential election was the first time I did not vote since I was old enough to could vote, which for me was the Bush vs. Dukakis election of 88. Politics, being the art of the possible and a worldly pursuit, is always a "lessor of two evil" decision. However between Hillary or Trump I simply could not bring myself to pull the lever. Not that I was ever going to vote for Hillary. Like C.S. Lewis, normally I would always choose the Robber Barron over the Moral Do-Gooder. However like most others I was too concerned for Trumps mental stability.

    What a pleasant surprise he has been. Who would have thought that he would come out so explicitly against the holocaust of the unborn? Cynics will of course accuse him of a political maneuver, a no cost play, and there is truth in that no doubt. The more important truth is that he is simply outside the "normal", the status quo and most of our judgements have proved to be in vain. May God grant him many years!!

    Jake, you may have heard what Churchill said after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. He said if Hitler invaded hell that he, Winnie, would be obligated to say something complimentary about the devil. Old Winnie was controversial among the Brits at the time. Without him, they might have caved into to Hitler and made the world a much less safe place. Yet, he had no illusions about Stalin, either. Like Trump, he turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

    Another pleasant surprise, there is now a division in the HHS, I believe, tasked with protecting workers who experience discrimination because of their religion.

    Yes that will include Muslims as well but it is the first time any such care has been given.

    Hillary wanted to exercise the political will to force Christians from the public square and to reeducate us. That was part of her deplorables speech, I believe.

    Trump's morals actually compare quite favorably with former Presidents Wilson,Harding, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton.

    The Clinton's are quite likely traitors. Selling secrets, assets and power to foreign governments to enrich themselves.

    Want to know Trump, read about Andrew Jackson.

EP calls different Paschal dates a "scandal"

( Orthodox Times ) - Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew extended in his homily his heartfelt wishes to all the non-Orthodox Christians who celebrated the Holy Easter on Sunday, March 31, after presiding over the Sunday Divine Liturgy at the Church of Saint Theodore of the Community of Vlanga. “On this day, the timeless message of the Resurrection resonates more profoundly than ever, as our non-Orthodox Christian brethren and sisters commemorate the resurrection of our Lord from the dead, celebrating Holy Easter. We have already sent our representatives to all the Christian Communities of the confessions here, to extend our heartfelt wishes of the Holy Great Church of Christ and our Patriarchal congratulations. But also from this position we extend a heartfelt greeting of love to all Christians around the world who celebrate Holy Easter today. We beseech the Lord of Glory that the forthcoming Easter celebration next year will not merely be a fortuitous occurrence, but rather the beginning...

Coptic Church SUSPENDS dialogue with Catholic Church

( OCP ) - Cairo – Egypt: The plenary session of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church was held on March 07.2024, at the Logos Center at the Papal Residence in the Monastery of Saint Anba Bishoy in Wadi Natroun, headed by His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, and attended by 110 of its 133 members. His Holiness the Pope delivered a speech at the opening of the session, in which he spoke about the importance of fruit in the life and service of the shepherd through “the parable of the unfruitful fig tree” (Luke 13:6-9). The main committees of the Holy Synod held their annual meetings starting last Monday and for three days, at the papal headquarters in St. Mark’s Cathedral in Abbasiya, to discuss the reports submitted to them by their subcommittees.  It issued its recommendations, which were presented to the members of the Academy in today’s plenary session for approval. The Church announced its opinion on the issue of “homosexuality” through a statement issued by the Holy Synod (to b...

"Those people in the back" - a quandary

"I am the door. By me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture." - John 10:9 At every parish where I have had the pleasure of attending services, there is always a small group of people who find their way all the way up to the church building but don't actually attend services. At one parish it was a group of male gypsies who talked on cellphones or smoked cigarettes. At another it was a few Protestant husbands who, though they never attended services, opened the parish doors for people as they filed in. At yet another parish the men stood in the narthex and chatted until it was time to receive and then got in line. Latin or Greek Catholic, Eastern or Oriental Orthodox I see the same small throng of men standing next to the front door, but not standing, sitting, or kneeling amongst the people. If it were me (and I can only speak for myself here) this option would be an unsavory one. The boredom would be immediate. The anxiety of som...
