I agree our mother "the church" has taught us weakness. whereas our father taught us courage and boldness in the face of opposition. hence the Old and New Testament views. However upon closer inspection, God of Old and New Testament changes not. He is still a God of justice as much as he is a God of Love. Are we not called to be like him?Paul B Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081412371867929070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-61989573802600082062012-12-15T19:09:23.737-07:002012-12-15T19:09:23.737-07:00U.K., your comment has been seen and appreciated b...U.K., your comment has been seen and appreciated by me.

I have just recently happened upon this blog and just wanted to thank you, Anita, for your words. I particularly like this post of yours, as I have been reading the Psalms a great deal lately, and asking God through them to defeat the evil works of His (and my) enemies. I do not have reasonable access to a TLM, and this entire diocese is overflowing with all manner of silliness. To tell someone here in this neck of the woods that this way of praying against proud enemies is not only valid, but necessary, would be met with all manner of disapproval.<br /><br />Thanks again, Anita, and God bless you. <br /><br />Ave Maria! And peace to men of good will.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125325654017970582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-85770118492180859812012-02-12T18:33:14.536-07:002012-02-12T18:33:14.536-07:00Roger WilcoRoger WilcoAthanasis Contra Mundumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809651586349621296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-52994724221603542672012-02-12T15:55:43.089-07:002012-02-12T15:55:43.089-07:00That's a good one, A.C.M.

I will find the exact verse and add it to my list above.<br /><br />St. Augustine's is now headed by a priest of traditional mold (who, however, is under pressure not to celebrate the TLM), so it is likely that certain things have been cleaned up there. I must admit that it has been nearly a decade since I was last in Moscow.<br /><br />Bully for your eparch. The <i>American Papist</i> is compiling a list of bishops who have publicly condemned the mandate, and is asking particularly for statements from eastern bishops, so maybe you want to bring your eparch's statement to his attention:<br /><br />http://www.catholicvote.org/discuss/index.php?p=26170Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-43880735880310412122012-02-12T15:47:19.425-07:002012-02-12T15:47:19.425-07:00I've heard that St Augustine has changed a lot...I've heard that St Augustine has changed a lot in the last two or three years.

I certainly got some eye-openers from the TLM. But of course, more is needed than just attending the TLM: one must live one's faith 24/7, and not just on Sundays.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-71704106589091615832012-02-12T11:56:17.570-07:002012-02-12T11:56:17.570-07:00Another bracing post, thank you.
