You seem to know a great deal about this Keith, especially for someone who is not Catholic. So what part of Gibson's movie exactly was in conflict with "Part 4 of Nostra Aetate"? Because Krauthammer doesn't tell us and neither do you. But you must know, right? Can't you find it somewhere in Krauthammer's crazy-precise writings? kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760546833628880462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-14955124867635722652013-11-05T23:37:33.219-05:002013-11-05T23:37:33.219-05:00(Of course, the question remains: does Charles Kra...(Of course, the question remains: does Charles Krauthammer approve of the way Matthew, Mark, Luke or John "derived their historical narrative" of the Gospel?

Of what possible relevance is it to anyone that you "bookmarked" your comment? <br />Oh, and thanks for your, um, clarification regarding the story of the Gospel. So, the Gospel "story" is the "historical narrative derived from the Gospels". As in, if any Christian dares recount the Passion in a way not thoroughly approved by Charles Krauthammer, well, that's a blood libel! Thanks for your clarification, Keith! Brilliant! <br /><br />kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760546833628880462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-25786848023874444542013-11-05T20:44:03.939-05:002013-11-05T20:44:03.939-05:00I really think the reason you guys spend so much t...I really think the reason you guys spend so much time on this blog is that you don't know about <a href="https://realmofthemadgod.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Realm of the Mad God.</a> It's addictive.Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506171638613025839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-82707668110843403292013-11-05T19:21:41.661-05:002013-11-05T19:21:41.661-05:00Kathleen, to "bookmark" a Uniform Resour...Kathleen, to "bookmark" a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or Web address is to save it in a Web browser so that one can return to it easily with an input device like a keyboard or mouse. For example, <a href="http://contrapauli.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-best-selling-book-by-conservative.html?showComment=1383693559297#c8908327043924394736" rel="nofollow">this</a> is the URL of the comment in which you raise the question. You may bookmark it for easy future reference in your Web browser.<br /><br />Because most Christians believe the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to be the word of God and because those of other religions like Krauthammer who respect them would also honor their beliefs, the Gospels are usually referred to by those sorts of people by their unique honorary titles, the Gospels or Gospel, rather than the more generically indiscriminate and thus more profane term "story".<br /><br />Thus when Krauthammer used the term "story", he was referring to that historical narrative derived from the Gospels which the Second Vatican Council felt compelled to repudiate in Part 4 of <i>Nostra Aetate</i>. The "blood libel" Krauthammer was referring to was that historical narrative derived from the Gospels which the Second Vatican Council itself finally felt compelled to repudiate in 1965, not the Gospels themselves.<br /><br />KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-24988193169880173972013-11-05T18:42:51.417-05:002013-11-05T18:42:51.417-05:00And on the other thread, I'm still waiting for...And on the other thread, I'm still waiting for you to tell me why the Gospel isn't a story.

Looks to me like he succeeded. I couldn't say if his income now is higher or lower than as a psychiatrist. If I had to bet, I'd bet lower. I also don't think he sees you as his audience but instead those moderates or liberals like his former self who might be rationally persuaded by plodding argument why there are rational better alternatives to what they're blindly clinging to now. Giving Stewart a big sloppy kiss about the "crowning achievements of liberalism" on <i>a book plugging tour</i> is just standard showbiz.<br /><br />Post or comment, I'm still waiting for you to name the premier popular conservative writers out I should be measuring Krauthammer against to find him wanting, and why. But just telling me he's a phony because you lived in DC for 13 years won't make make much of a dent in the conservative arguments of his I've been reading for well over a decade, though. Take all the time you need.<br /><br />KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
