Čtu si teď Halíka "Co je bez chvění není pevné" a a zaujala mě tam myšlenka (od kohosi třetího, ale nemůžu teď ten citát konkrétně najít), že odmítnutí Boha je často odmítnutím minulosti a paměti, protože skutečná Přítomnost není možná s odmítnutím některé části života. Hrozně se mi to zalíbilo ...

If the point of this article is that the Protestant evangelicals and Catholics should put down their war axes and unite against the common enemy, that is consumerism, atheism and the culture of death, I like ...
read moreOn September 15, 2015 we are remembering the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Britain Day . George Weige wrote for The First Things a lovely remberance article about it, and I have added this comment:

read moreI have just finished reading the book by Dan Drápal „Spor o Joba“ (Návrat domů, 2015; “Dispute about Job”) and I am rather unsure about it.
Firstly from purely formal reasons. To say it bluntly: the book is in my opinion longer than it deserves to be. The really important ...
read moreI just have to mention a fascinating interview on EconTalk about the climate change. More than the particular climate science (about which I know nothing and care less and less), I found it fascinating confirmation of the dictum attributed to C. S. Lewis (but now I cannot find a proper ...
read moreAkorát jsem dočetl knihu Dana Drápala „Spor o Joba“ (Návrat domů, 2015) a jsem z ní popravdě řečeno poněkud rozpačitý.
Nejprve z důvodů lehce formálních. Abych to řekl z mosta do prosta: kniha je podle mého mnohem delší nežli by si zasloužila. Opravdu hodnotným obsahem je podle mého první část ...

I am afraid the reason is that we don’t have that much choices.
Which leads me to the issue which I am quite surprised nobody discusses at all (what am I missing?). As I understand the dim archaic past ...
read moreWe had on Tuesday very interesting debate during our regular Theology on Tap about postmodern apologetics. During the heat of discussion I passionately argued against the very idea of professional Christianity without regards that at least one but probably more professional Christians were sitting at the table.

Good article! Thank you. It is really good to think not only about general platitudes and ecumenical Kumbaya but about the real life impact of our hope for unity.
I think what’s crucial is to disentangle couple of ...
