"Is the Pope Catholic?"

In his lecture, Ecumenism Without Compromise, Catholic scholar Peter Kreeft asks whether ecumenism is possible, especially between Catholics and Protestants.
As a born and bred Catholic turned Evangelical turned Charismatic...turned somewhere in between all three -- Kreeft's comments were some of the most clarifying and insightful I'd heard on unity in the Church.

I'd highly recommend listening to this twenty-minute lecture:

Let me know when you do. Catholic or Protestant or otherwise, I'd love to know your thoughts.

Welcome to The Wild Olive

We are nothing if not persistent.

If many of you noticed that our previous blog, well, disappeared -- and were baffled -- know that so were we. We think the Big Brother Internet Censors (all part of the Zionist-Crusader-Space Alien-9/11 Conspiracy) decided we were too inflammatory, too edgy, for this tame medium we call the World Wide Web.

In any case, welcome back. We are excited to bring you live commentary on all things political, social, personal, religious, spiritual, and otherwise fascinating to us (and hopefully, to you also, dear Reader).
