Poet James Marley… as said to me after I called and read him the Anchoress piece. (He has no computer) The “Act accordingly” is his but he doesn’t recall where he heard the rest of the quote.
That’s two Great Christian minds I’ve been exposed to in under 1 hour. Am I lucky or what?



Rice writes:
In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life.
-Sums up my feelings about Christianity. I shed my adherence to it because I didn’t want to be associated with people who hated in the name of Christ. I now see Jesus as a man, not a god.

Same mistake as Rice.
As I’ve always said the reason to be a Christian in general or a Catholic in particular is because it is true.
