My sig is a quote I just came up with that has resonated throughout my short life.

-Romance is only overrated when it's not happening to you.-

Since I've modified my sig for shortness (autumn cleaning ), I'll repost it here.

"For Tolkien, Catholicism was not an opinion to which one subscribed, but a reality to which one submitted." From Tolkien: Man and Myth.

"Spammers will be hunted down and eaten." From a group I subscribe to. Love this one.

Catholic-Protestant Discussion group


A group I recently started for discussion among Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox Christians, and other Christian groups of differences in their beliefs.

Added a quote from an article I read:

"The One True Church needs an infallible magisterium, that she may be One and True."

A quote I find highly amusing.

"...Yet there remains a bit of England in every American. So much of our national character comes from you, and we're glad for it. The fellowship of generations is the cause of common beliefs.

We believe in open societies ordered by moral conviction. We believe in private markets humanized by compassionate government. We believe in economies that reward effort, communities that protect the weak and the duty of nations to respect the dignity and the rights of all. And whether one learns these ideals in County Durham or in West Texas, they instill mutual respect and they inspire common purpose.

More than an alliance of security and commerce, the British and American peoples have an alliance of values. And today this old and tested alliance is very strong."

None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

What does football (aka soccer) have to do with Christianity?

BTW Dúnedain, what's your new avatar of? It makes your custom title not make as much sense any more.
