Overheard: Backgrounds

Friar 1: "What's your background?"

Friar 2: "Catholic."

Friar 1: "What do you mean?"

Friar 2: "It's a species of apostolic Christianity."

Friar 1: "I meant the background picture on your phone."

  1. You friars are a bunch of Catholic nerds, and I mean that in the best possible way. :)

    This reminds me of the time I asked the owner of a Christian bookshop if he had, "A Time to Embrace" (A Time to Embrace; Essays on the Christian View of Sex by Olver Barclay.)

    He had an armload of books at the time, sighed deeply, put down the books and gave me a hug.

    "Ummm, I mean the book," I said.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
