    there are a few other words i think they should drop from their description as well if they wish to remain accurate as to the substance of what they are now.

    I have long thought that this and the decision of bishops to wear purple shirts was the real beginning of the long slide to oblivion….

    It isn’t the color of the shirt that we need to be concerned about, since it’s traditional; it’s the character of the man wearing it and his committment to Christ and His Church that’s important, and whether the man is Catholic or Anglican makes no difference. They’re both in the same business.

    The best part of the link was reading that Captain Eddie Rickenbacker was going to give a talk in the coming week. Now that would be worth seeing.
