Christian Pipe Smokers

The development my eye discerns are things like papal infallibility and the immaculate conception- I don't see too much in the way of development since Vatican II so much as an idea of doctrinal irrelevance, which I think is best exemplified by the current papacy, though I can point to a fair number...

It's a bit of Orthodox inside baseball at the moment, though it has spilled over into worlds politics these days.

Grant him rest in a place of brightness and repose, where all sickness, sadness, and sorrow have flown away, and where in the light of Thy countenance rejoiceth all Thy saints for all ages. For Thou art the ...
