A Traitor to His Class

 The above is the well-chosen title of H.W. Brands’s biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The idea was that Roosevelt, who came from Old Money, behaved in an unexpected way, given his high-class background. His wife, Eleanor, could dabble in extreme left-wing causes, because that was a result of her education, and she was a woman, after all.

The Holy Trinity

I think it’s about time that we finally admit that the Triune Godhead is not found in the Bible, that we got it later than that. Especially because the evangelical heretics now taking over the Orthodox Church are pretty clearly Trinitarian, even with their view of the Bible as a sort of rule book.

Gatha

When I lose my balance,

Which happens fairly often,

I vow with all beings,

To question one thing in relation to others.
