Post From the Past: Lead Us Not... NUNBLOG - May 17, 2013 ... deliver us from evil. The usual interpretations of "temptation" can be individualistic, short-sighted and superficial, referring simply to the urge to violate a precept. But the word can be translated "trial" or "test." The same set of circumstances could be a temptation leading to evil or an occasion of purifying, strengthening trial. Whether we are faced with a "temptation" or a "trial" can be known only by the outcome and not in its midst.

After I made that decision it dawned on me that the title of this blog was "Journey of a Catholic Nerd Writer ."

Protecting Religious Liberty in a Same-Sex "Marriage" Country PRO ECCLESIA * PRO FAMILIA * PRO CIVITATE - March 13, 2013 Given recent comments by Justice Anthony Kennedy , I'm not so sure that nationwide same-sex "marriage" is as inevitable in the short run as many of its proponents seem to hope. But I do believe it is unavoidable in the long run, and that - as I have written many times in the past ( see links below) - the Church will suffer a loss of religious freedom at the very least, and even suffer outright persecution in some form, as a result.
