It's a dark and stormy day (doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?) so I'm reading and studying Bishop Spong's book on the bible. Awesome reading.

I have to comment because my day just wouldn't be complete if I didn't. I was Catholic – guess I still am because “once a Catholic always a Catholic”. I know many, many Catholics who are fundamentalist, believing in the literalness and inerrancy of scripture. Even the official catechism takes the fall of Adam and Eve literally. No Catholic that I know would ever consider themselves fundamentalist – just Roman Catholic. I also know many evangelical Catholics who would never call themselves fundamentalist, but would certainly proudly claim being evangelical.

Amazing how just a few words can cause so much reflection. This is from Tomorrow's Catholic: "God works with what God has to work with."

I'm spending my day reading, a good thing for me to do. However, I think today I'd kinda like to be testing that database!
