- About Me:
- I'm a short, lefthanded Aussie from Celtic and Germanic origins. Have been a catholic priest for a number of years now (ordained 2000) and did study comparative religion in an arts degree years ago. Am currently doing some post-graduate theology in Melbourne and belong the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn. I used to be a person of peace. Gradually the knocks of life changed that but the peace is coming back - PWR 2009 has added to that peace.

Taming the Terror Within and Without
Some of us like to hear those ‘master and disciple’ stories from time to time. Here is one.
A master and disciple were seated in the tea house taking their tea. As the master poured some tea into their cups the disciple began talking about recent events.

Some discussion is taking place in Catholic circles about blogs and revitalizing faith. It seems, however, that they are a mixed blessing where some of the "loud and proud" have bordered on harassing and nasty. See this link http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=23664 .
Surely, there is healthy cyber-sharing going on as well.
We've all witnessed some really good articles, blogs and other posts. Do we know… Continue

Looking at the… Continue
