Awesome Roughhousing
Here’s another gem from The Art of Manliness…
 While I was back in England I was playing with my Godson and his brother on the trampoline and it naturally descended into roughhousing. I got an elbow in the face and fat lip, but it was a small price to pay for helping with the levels of awesome 🙂

How best to celebrate? A video about grammar, of course!
Coming Soon: Was Jesus wrong?
In Revelation, Jesus says that He is “…coming soon” (Revelation 22:20). However, it is now 2,000 years later and we haven’t yet had the Second Coming. Dr Barber, in the second chapter of his book, addresses the obvious question: “Was Jesus wrong?”.
How soon is soon?
Some exegetes solve this problem of Jesus’ absence by pointing to St. Peter’s second epistle:
But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day –Â 2 Peter 3:8
These exegetes make the argument that Jesus is indeed coming “soon”, but our version of “soon” is not the same as His.

Roman Catholics Say The Darndest Things: Part 2
A few days ago I began responding to the common reactions I hear when a Roman-Rite Catholic visits an Eastern-Rite parish for the first time. Last time I covered numbers 1-10 and today I’m going to finish the list with numbers 11-20 for “Roman Catholics Say The Dardnest Things”:
11. “What are the circles on sticks being carried around?”
These are called “rapidia” (or “flabella”). They are carried by altar servers in the Gospel procession and again when the bread and wine are brought to the altar. On them are pictures of angels. Symbolically, they remind us that our earthly liturgy touches Heaven.
Catholic Superman Memes
I saw the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, last night. As I drove into work today I got the idea for a few Catholic memes. SPOILER WARNING…
