Well, it's been a month and a great deal of nothing much has happened. As Mark Harris at Preludium has said, most everyone seems to be waiting for the next big meeting to happen. Just about the only thing of note is that one of the break away churches in L. A. won a case asserting that the bishop had infringed their freedom of speech (the case is being appealed, I believe), and the Connecticut six are apparently trying the same tactic. Perhaps it is ungenerous of me, but I hope that the Connecticut six fail in their case and that the ruling in L. A. gets overturned. The reason I hope this is that the church needs to be able to enforce some level of discipline even on controversial issues, although in a controversy charity is also very very important.
I've also had a lovely little debate with a priest in the Diocese of Ft. Worth about women's ordination. While I figure I left quite a few loose ends, I'm still a little proud of myself over the debate. You can read it in the comments on someone else's blog starting here.
Lastly, it's been a while since I mentioned FFXI, so here are a couple pictures I've collected, with some subtitles.
"My, what a big sword you have, Granny."
"What a cute doll that Galka has!"
"Oh look, it's a game of follow the leader! I wonder where they're going."
Hope you enjoy the pictures; I'll put more up later.
Jon
