I officially quit LJ for real, on Sunday night I decided that I should just delete all of it. Then I realized that I had to do it one by one, so instead, I'll just let it rot on the open fields of the internet. And this is not to say that I'm giving up posting my thoughts on the interet.

It seems I really didn't have much of anything to share.

So, by correlation, I don't really have many things to share ( Read more... )

Those of you who know me are probably aware that I don't particularly care for the office of the Papacy entirely.
