A Roman Bombshell.

When it reigns, dear readers, it pours. Aside from the normal purging of dissent by any means necessary, some pesky facts about the success of that "new thing" we're doing, and the occasional waxy emission from the intellectual deaf ear of our denomination, there hasn't been much in the way of news lately with respect to The Episcopal Church (tm) and the Current Unpleasantness.

But today, there was... this. Followed by... this. Kaboom.

Wow. An actual Pope, looking for a way to offer the faithful a place at the table. Unlike our wannabe pope and her hench-persons, who are only looking to legitimize a political agenda and keep the trappings and riches for themselves. The faithful be damned.

I'm going to Manresa in a few days for my annual retreat weekend. Is this a sign?

It answers a lot of my concerns about becoming RC. I tend to move at sloth speed in matters religious, so it may take me a while to process through all of it, make a decision and then act upon it.

The odds are pretty good I'll be switching though. The combination of Tridentine + Anglican Rite is pretty attractive to an old incense sniffer.
