I h...How nice that you have happy travels planned. I hope all goes wonderfully!<BR/><BR/>And you rascal, how did you know I was going to Paris too? Did I mention it in the comments section of someone else's blog or have your spook skills resurfaced? Or perhaps I wrote you off-blog about this a while back. I forget. Can you tell I've been on overload?<BR/><BR/>As for the theology thing, I try not to mention individual persons here especially since I am not deeply involved in the blogosphere doctrinal debates and don't want to be. But you and I agree on the theological matter at hand. It's just absolutely beyond me how anyone can think that God who is beyond description can be a member of a church, for crying out loud! And that's different from saying that we as church are the Body of Christ; I certainly believe that. But it's not the same thing.<BR/><BR/>So, as I do so often, I agree with Archbishop Tutu here. And the whole thing reminded and reminds me of 1976 when, as a very young campus minister (a Catholic laywoman at the time) I attended the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia and heard one of my other bishop heroes, Dom Helder Camara, speak. I can still hear him saying emphatically and with a twinkle in his eye (but seriously too) "When the Holy Spirit moves in the world, he [I think he used "he" but it could have been "it"] does not ask 'WHERE ARE THE CATHOLICS?'"<BR/><BR/>Lovely sunset here. Sat watching it and doing my reading. The weather is cooling off, too. <BR/><BR/>Blessings on your week.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-25100971320165146862007-10-28T13:17:00.000-04:002007-10-28T13:17:00.000-04:00I agree it is hardly a debate; what Matt Kennedy d...I agree it is hardly a debate; what Matt Kennedy does should not be dignified with the term "theology", in my rarely very humble opinion.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Paris and Louvain: boo hoo.<BR/><BR/>I will be in Phoenix myself, for my daughter's wedding next Sunday: blessings & safe trips all round.<BR/><BR/>And, hoo: post some good news and then have to go back and suffer through that horrendous bottom of the Seventh; I don't believe my actions influence the outcomes of World Series games, but I didn't want to have to convince my friends.
