When did this happen? I've been planning all sorts of things to fill blog pages but they are mostly started and unfinished. I'll get there eventually, but life comes first, blogging next, and God above all.
Snippet:
We are not people of the Book. We, Catholics, are people of the Word. The Word which is Jesus Christ, living and Lord of all history. (Thanks Fr. Hoesing.)
It really makes you wonder doesn't it? I mean, Muslims consider us People of the Book because they believe there are links and seqways between the Tanakh, Old Testament, New Testament, and the Koran that all point to a greater, true, book in Heaven. That's how they look at our beliefs, and sorry to say, but I can't agree with them. After all, I believe in Jesus, God and Man, not in Jesus as they see him in the simple role of prophet. If I did, I wouldn't be Catholic, now would I?
Just some food for thought.
Go and set the world Ablaze

This might be part of the reason why Christians treat their "book" different from the way the Muslims treat theirs - our book is holy only insofar as it points the way to Jesus Himself. But it's interesting that Christians in areas of the world where scripture is outlawed do tend to treat it with more respect (by not setting it on the floor, not putting other books on top of it, etc.) than we do here in the west.
