Thank you both! It was good to hear your voices again. You were certainly some of what I've missed during the recent Prolonged Lent, and I'm glad you both seem to have come through it and out the other end (at least to some extent).
ReplyDeleteThanks, too for "3rd Corninthians". That was most excellent. I must say that I guessed, pretty early, which of the possible "twists" the story would have, but that did not in any way diminish my enjoyment.
Thanks, especially, for your listeners who sent in feedback on your episodes. I always enjoy hearing what others have to say about your podcast.
Finally, yes, indeed, we Catholics are weird. I daresay, we're often better at weirdness because we've been at it so long.
Catholics are like Portland. Best when they keep it weird!
DeleteGood to hear from. Appreciate your support.
It was so good to catch up with you at Gallifrey One a few months back. Thanks for this return to "Ordinary Time," specifically following up on after your previous comments a few episodes back. As a former seminary student (way too many years ago), I especially enjoyed the discussion of "3rd Corinthians." I need to find that and read it for myself. As Alan suggested, there were some themes in it I've seen done elsewhere (I was especially reminded of the ST:TNG novel, "Kahless," written by Michael Jan Friedman, which specifically follows the repercussions of the discovery of ancient texts that throw the Klingon faith into question), but between the twist at the end, and explicit discussion of the process of Christian canonization, this one sounds very much up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad things are returning to a semblance of normal for both of you, and look forward to our next meeting, whenever and wherever that happens to be.
Thanks for listening and commenting, Mark. And yes, it was certainly fun to see you and the gang in LA.
DeleteThanks for the "heads-up" on the Star Trek novel.
