An error. No, really, that's the term for it.

Re: What are you reading now?

Bergsma cowrote a good book taking down the JEPD theory too. Much of what passes for modern Biblical scholarship is nothing but theorizing in the absence of any evidence and then presenting the theories as certain.

The NAB is much the same, though I don't blame him if he's never looked at its ridiculously bad footnotes.

Re: Where Goes Leo?

I think it's too early to tell, and I think it's a mistake to try to pigeonhole him as a Francis 2.0 or a turn-back-the-clock traditionalist. Let him tell us who he is and what he's about.

Re: What are you reading now?

I think the arguments in favor of their being pseudonymous are poor. The new (old) school scholars of the historical-critical era were in favor of that sort of thing.

Re: Third country deportations

It's not possible (AFAIK) to say, "The Catholic Church condemns this" or "The Catholic Church allows it." It's a matter of what is just in the case in question, and questions of justice generally require details about the particular case in question.

Re: Dispensation for missing Mass on Vacay

It is generally considered that it's permissible to take a vacation on which it is not practical to attend Mass on Sunday as long as it happens very infrequently. I had a brother priest furious with me for saying this in a FB group, but fortunately other guys agreed with me. It's good that it bother...

Re: Brian Wilson Dead

I really enjoy seeing all the pieces that make up the completed song.

BB recordings often have double-tracked vocals (i.e., recorded twice). These guys just have two people sing the same part, especially the lead.

Re: Brian Wilson Dead

Are you familiar with the Fendertones on YouTube? They're a Beach Boys cover band with professional musicians who really know what they're doing. Mike and Al have both taken part in some of their work.

Re: Brian Wilson Dead

he created a brand new band which he called "The Beach Boys"
Not sure about that part. "The Beach Boys" trademark is owned by Brother Records, which is owned by Mike, Al, and the estates of Brian and Carl (Dennis had to sell his share back to the rest to pay off debts).
