Wow! It has been a busier than intended blogging day. I think I'll give it a rest after tonight for a day or two. But I just had to provide this link to Archbishop Niederauer's recent Theology & Politics on Tap, in a San Francisco Irish Pub no less. For me, next to a magnificently celebrated liturgy, that is the closest to heaven I could ever get, especially with the Archbishop leading the discussion. Watching this clip was bittersweet because it made me miss him. Nonetheless, I am so grateful that this is the man who laid his hands on my head and ordained me a deacon. At least he is still Salt Lake City's metropolitan archbishop.
So, with no further adieu, Archbishop George Niederauer. Grab a beer and enjoy! An Irishman can easily get in two beers while watching. It's part of having the requisite Celtic spirit.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
