I had gotten the impression from what you said that you were Googling like mad.

Joe,

You're welcome to abuse me.

... Er... that didn't come out right...

Don't worry, I'm not touching that one!

The monk Luther loved his Church and hadn't wanted to leave it. He ended up being excommunicated and married an ex-nun. I wish I had been a guest at their dinner table!

Is there a book that spells out all the Traditions and explains them, such as a catechism of some sort?

Did ya’l pick up on the link to Glories of Mary? Things seem to go by fast – you might of missed it. http://www.jesus-passion.com/BEGINNI...ES_OF_MARY.pdf

I got the book right in front of me. For those who have not purchased a paper copy, you can read on line: or download it:

Thanks, but I dug through my extensive library and found my copy. I'm dusting it off as we speak.

Best one-stop shopping is, probably, The Catechism of the Catholic Church. (It's on-line at the USCCB website and the Vatican website--I'd give you the links but I don't know how to... pathetic, I know, by students never stop micking me for that.) Its organization isn't quite as sane as might be desired, but it's pretty good.

If you get a chance to look at it I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I like talking about this stuff with Lutherans--you guys are always so reasonable. (My first patristics prof. years ago was a Lutheran... Man I learned a lot about Catholicism from him!) And you just have to love Luther's scatalogical humor. Liguori, all due respect, never thought of being as funny and off-color while at the same time discussing the most sublime subjects...

Wonderful! The type is a lot bigger than my old paperback. Thanks! Now if you'll address the topic in its thread, we can go ahead here with this discussion.

Many thanks. I have no idea what happened to my copy. (I most likely lent it to a crazy Marian who didn't have the common decency to return it!)

It took the wiles of a mere woman to tempt Adam. Maybe a quick lesson by this mere woman can teach you how. I have to go to bed now though. Pencil me in on your calendar for the near future.

My dad was a Lutheran pastor from a long line of pastors, I'm full-blooded German and (was) a Lutheran teacher (librarian now). Oh, and I share a birthday (different year) with Luther.

Humor and religion go nicely arm in arm. Guten nacht. Schlaf gut.

Done. And I've lived long enough to fear the phrase "mere woman".

Never! They'll hit some keys and walk away laughing. The next thing I know, the FBI will be confiscating my computers and reading me my rights. I don't trust anybody between the ages of 18 and 24.

I'm older than dirt. We could do it secretly and surprise everyone. I'll even teach you basic HTML.
