Rum , Rome and Royalism

I would much rather belong to a church five centuries behind the times and majestically indifferent to the fact than to a church five minutes behind the times, frantically running to catch up.

New Book on St. Francis

I learned from a friend today that a new book on the life of St. Francis of Assisi will soon be published. Hardly a surprising thing, St. Francis is one of the most popular saints in history, not just amoung catholics but amoung protestants and even non-Christians, so books about him are hardly a rarity. What makes this book interesting is it's authour, environmentalist and lawyer Robert Francis Kennedy juniour, son of the famous Attourney General and Presidential hopeful.
