Bill's Notes

[Bill, May 18, 2007]
There goes the neighborhood ...
Blogger and one-time "bright" Dean Esmay has apparently returned to Roman Catholicism.

Suddenly he's going all gooey about the beauty of the Eucharistic celebration and he's quoting Thomas Aquinas. Suddenly he's taking on a glow and talking about mysteries, eternal forms among fluidities, humility, peace ...

As my pal Doc Jones would say, have more mercy.

What's going on here? It must be the end times ... gotta be the end times :)

And in case anyone misses the little joke in the title and tongue-in-cheek tone, this is actually great news and I'm quite pleased to hear it. There seems to be a trend here. I'm noticing more and more people are being called to the Roman Catholic Church or back to it. Even the late Ron McRae was moving in that direction before he died — Ron was a mystic and he was starting to investigate Catholic mysticism, specifically St. Bonaventure's Journey of the Mind to God.

Welcome home to Dean and anyone else returning to the Church. And to God be the glory.

Yes, this is quite the development. I've sensed this coming with Dean for some time now. Still, it was a bit of a surprise yesterday. To say I'm happy for Dean would be a radical understatement.

I stopped paying much attention to Dean, but occasionally troll (not that kind, the other kind) his blog for good links ... and then I saw that he says he's returning to RCC. That's a good thing.
