Hello everybody! Had a world class areopagus at the Kucels. Kudos to them for hosting us. We had a plethora of intriguing questions, such as

• What should those hoping to go into nursing do about Obamacare?
• Can I argue with my parents?
• How should you discern your vocation?
• Why is the half-time break 7 minutes long?
• Does an invalid mass fulfill your obligation?
• A very technical question about Latin and the Creed.
• What are some good resources for godparents?
• Do breath mints break the fast?
• How do you control your thoughts.
• Is it wrong to wish for martyrdom.
• How much should collateral damage be avoided.
• Are Venial sins forgiven through acts of perfect contrition.
• Can we do evil that good may come of it?
• How did Father feel before his first Mass.

On a bright new side note, we now have a Facebook page. Feel free to check it out!

Our next meeting is the 18th of January, at the Romstads, 644 Jefferson Rd, Lapeer, 48446. See you all there!

Hello everyone. Just a quick note to say the December Areopagus is at the Kucels whose address is 14565 Cornell Dr. Sterling Heights, 48313. If you can't find it then Mrs Kucel's phone number is 810-441-4105. See you the 21st!

Greetings all! (You have to roll the r, otherwise it doesn't sound right.) We had an extremely enjoyable Areopagus at the Rens', to whom we extend our thanks for their hospitable hosting of us. Several extremely intriguing questions were asked, such as:

• Are altar girls okay?
• Is not voting immoral?
• How does one discern the greatest defect in one's soul?
• What's up with the St. Cyril's Catholic clown movement?
• Is it okay to write your sins for confession on a piece of paper?
• Is secession moral?
• Is teasing sinful?
• Why do they give nuns their names as soon as they enter the convent?
• Is Obama the Anti-Christ?
• How do you know if you really love God?
• What do you think of the game Mafia?

   I'll be sending out the next Areopagus location soon, so stay glued to your computers.

 Greetings all! We had a great Areopagus at the Kostiuks, many thanks to them for hosting us. Among the questions asked were such fascinating topics :

• If you don't know whether or not you are in mortal sin, is it permissible to go to communion?
• Were the Crusades a good or bad thing?
• Should high heels in stone churches be outlawed?
• If someone repents for a mortal sin, but die before they get to confession, can they be saved?
• When should people have a spiritual director?
• If a religious breaks their vows, are they excommunicated, or can they just go to confession?
• Does they name of Philadelphia have anything to with the Greek for brotherly love?
• Do Rosaries have to be blessed after they touch the ground?
• Are their times when lying is justified?

Vote for your favorite question in the comments section! Our next Areopagus will be at the Rens on the 16th

of November. See you all there!

 Areopagus is going to be at the Kostiuk household instead of the Rens'. If you need directions then just send me an email. So thanks to them for hosting and I hope to see you all on the 19th!

In Christ,

September areopagus

 Greetings my fellow Areopagites! Many thanks to the Gagnons for hosting us this month. We had an exceedingly enjoyable time! There were many interesting questions discussed, including:

• Did Mary die?
• Are tariffs effective (the most controversial topic of the night!)?
• What would happen if we gave Henry power? 
• How should we explain the scapular to Non-Catholics? 
• How does general absolution work? 
• Are there circumstances under which people who committed suicide can go to heaven? 
• What defines an idiot? 
• How does one find what God wants them to do?
• Is it sinful to yell at people on T.V.?
• And, can the use of the word tongues in Acts of the Apostles mean that God is speaking through the person? 

It seems no one tends to comment on this blog. Correct this. Fight against it. Also, contrary to first impressions, that is not a picture of me. And I still can't find anyone to host the next Areopagus. Please consider volunteering if you are able!

In Christ,
Henricus Tyranicus

Gagnon's on the 7th

Michelangelo's "Slave (Atlas)": Is Daniel living matter?

Our next Areopagus will NOT be on the THIRD Friday, but on the first, that is, September 7th, at the Gagnons. Just send an e-mail to Henry to get directions.

Many thanks to the Longs, for our delightful areopagus around the campfire.
