Wouldn't trust it. By first glance, there isn't a set way to tell with letters should be selected. For example, from that same picture of the book back, I found the letters (starting from the word "history" and reading on) the letters, in order, hiramistheman. Spaced out: Hiram is the man...

Appollos is a great name.

From the Council of Chalcedon, 4th Ecumenical Council: "Following, then, the holy Fathers, we all unanimously teach that our Lord Jesus Christ is to us One and the same Son, the Self-same Perfect in Godhead, the Self-same Perfect in Manhood; truly God and truly Man; the Self-same of a rational...

The traditional understanding is that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine. He was of both natures.

The idea is cool, but be careful about where you fly them. Here in Manhattan, for example, I've seen cops give people tickets for controlling similar devices, like remote controlled planes, etc.

Why is this used still? We know the earth is older than 4000 BC.

The Order of Malta is not extinct. It is a Catholic order (as explained above). They mostly focus on charitable activities, but it is an exclusive, invitational body.

I tried Rosetta Stone once. The only other language I speak fluently is French, so I will use it as the example. Rosetta Stone will give you the subjects, the main verbs, and some vocabulary. It will give you, IMHO, the equivalent to a the speaking capacity of native 5-year old. So, for...

I have a draft letter that I plan to send to the Grand Master here in New York. What is the proper way to address him in the letter? Most Worshipful Grand Master?

As I am not mason, not sure how valid my opinion is. But, if I become one in the future, (I.e., a lodge accepts my petition, etc.) when I die I don't think I would even want a Masonic funeral. This aspect has always sat unwell with me since I've heard it of it. When I die, I would like a...

What is the importance of having the apron over the jacket? Many pictures of Masons in the 18th and 19th Century portray masons with the aprons under the jacket. Not that I really care strongly one way or the other, just curious.

See the new post from Bro. Bowden.

If you don't mind me asking, which lodge did you petition?

Watched it last night before bed. Pretty solid info.

Listen, this is not my personal opinion. That of the Magisterium of the Roman Church and the Orthodox Patriarch is that Anglican Christians do not have valid orders. It is not unmasonic to state this fact of the official view. If you like, I can provide documentation for these claims. This...

The article has the bias you might expect of a traditional Catholic blog, but the pictures are real.

This has made some waves in Roman Catholic circles. It is from a while ago, but apparently a local priest celebrated Mass to honor local Freemasons. The area is heavily Catholic, which makes it all the more surprising. Pictures an article below...

Yes. However, from the perspective of the Magisterium of the Roman Church, ordained women do not have valid orders, because for the RCC and Orthodox only a man can be ordained. So from their perspective, anyone ordained woman in the Anglican Communion, and anyone that a female bishop ordains...

The Roman and Orthodox hold that the Anglican communion broke Apostolic Succession when they ordained women. I realize many call themselves catholic. I only meant that when most people think of the Catholic (Capital "C") Church, they are referring to the Roman Church. Also there are many...

To draw a quick historical parallel, when the Bill of Rights were ratified in the United States (the first 10 constitutional amendments), until a case under the Marshall court (can't recall atm which case it was; perhaps Dartmouth College?), the Bill of Rights were understood to ensure the...
