Fr. Hunwicke: Botte, his bathwater, and his epicleses

While there is a distinction between the ministerial priesthood and the priesthood of the faithful, is it correct to interpret divisions of the priesthood of the old covenant as types of the degrees of holy orders? (Especially if the there aren't really three degrees, with the diaconate being the lowest degree?)

The New Covenant

The New Covenant calls us to eternal life. We honor this covenant through partaking of Christ in the Eucharist.http://myocn.net/the-new-covenant/

In case the post gets taken down... this is how it was introduced: "The media coverage was surely pleasing to the ROC with commentators often describing it as the “most powerful” Orthodox Church and other such misleading claims. This includes the impression that the meeting followed a 1,000-year separation despite the ROC only becoming independent from its Mother, Constantinople, in 1448 – but why let facts get in the way of a good headline."

Some strife between the Orthodox churches...

It Should Have Been Done in Accord with One of the Iconographic Traditions of the Church

The title of the post is in reference to the article at NLM linked here, in which it is claimed that Sr. Faustina favored a more traditional iconographic depiction of Christ as representing what she saw in her visions.

Anyway, there is a new documentary, The Original Image of Divine Mercy (FB).


It will be screened at a parish in SF in May and at OLOP on April 2.

Edit. Bringing the image of Divine Mercy to the world by Jim Graves
A new documentary tells the dramatic story of the original Divine Mercy image, commissioned by St. Faustina and kept hidden for much of the 20th century.

A documentary that tells the incredible story of the Divine Mercy image.

Catholic World Report: "A story He himself created": Reflections on Benedict XVI's recent remarks
Each person, if he be honest with himself, can recognize he is responsible for at least some of the evil in the world.
By James V. Schall, S.J.

"Faith is not a product of reflection nor is it even an attempt to penetrate the depths of my own being. Both of these things may be present, but they remain insufficient without the ‘listening’ through which God, from without, from a story he himself created, challenges me.” — Benedict XVI,
