I teach high school catechism classes and I am always looking for new ways to explain things to my students. I bet most of the kids would relate to the idea of a favorite book, movie, etc. that was taken off into some strange direction by a new director or author. <BR/><BR/>While it is irritating when that happens, it is only make-believe, as Histor pointed out. The Church, however, has been entrusted with handing on the Truth until the end of time and so they really need to be vigilant and have safeguards in place to ensure that all following generations get the same message.<BR/><BR/>Lucky for us, since Christ is the head of our Church, it IS the same message all through time. <BR/><BR/>*Looks at her <B>Han Shot First</B> t-shirt and sighs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-53991121792939889512007-08-02T23:23:00.000-04:002007-08-02T23:23:00.000-04:00I'm going to defend our B-Movie Catechist.

It's not great lit by itself, but encapsulated in a larger novel of some quality, it could be all right. Of course, this isn't a novel of some quality, but never mind that.D. G. D.

Always nice to hear from a new voice.<BR/><BR/>Histor,<BR/><BR/>Speaking of kind words, now you're probably being too charitable. "Great service"?<BR/><BR/>You're right, of course, on the difference between the SW Canon and Tradition, although I could probably dredge up a few rabid SW fans who would argue the point. (You know, there was that whole British census snafu a few years back in which Jedi came in as the 5th largest religion in the country.)EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-6656007317096155782007-08-01T12:05:00.000-04:002007-08-01T12:05:00.000-04:00"In Christianity we call this the Jesus Seminar."I..."In Christianity we call this the Jesus Seminar."<BR/><BR/>I just sprayed coffee all over my keyboard.<BR/><BR/>Love your blog, btw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-12622995918272252912007-07-31T23:25:00.000-04:002007-07-31T23:25:00.000-04:00Sorry.

I should have been more charitable.<BR/><BR/>After all, you do provide a great service by clarifying how bad a bad movie (in this case book) is, and whether it would harm us to watch/read the work in question.<BR/><BR/>All the same, it is hard to pity a man who deliberately puts himself in harm's way. Admire and praise him, perhaps, but not sympathize.<BR/><BR/>Getting to the real point of the post, the main difference between the Star Wars canon and Sacred Tradition is that the former is imaginative interpretation of Star Wars, while the latter concentrates on reason to explain certain Christian beliefs and practices, as well as problematic Bible passages.<BR/><BR/>Just sayin'.<BR/><BR/>HistorHistorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566476650295000486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-68291342815264958162007-07-31T18:14:00.000-04:002007-07-31T18:14:00.000-04:00Wow.
