Oh, I’m still here.

Whoa, WordPress.com went to the 2.5 layouts! Trippy.

I’ve been working on other, worldly projects, so I haven’t updated this blog in some time. Lately I’ve been slammed by Google Image Search hits, looking at a post that I wrote last year, which I guess is nice. I never really had an intended audience for this blog, so maybe people looking for pictures of a certain cathedral can be my core audience. No fights in the combox that way.

By not updating, I guess I missed my chance to run for the Cannonball awards. In the heretic category, naturally–agnosticism is a heresy. Sorta.

I am still attending Mass sporadically. I haven’t been to confession and thus not to communion, since there’s something very wrong in principle with receiving sacraments when I don’t believe in them.  Or am not sure that I believe in them.

I still love Catholic liturgy, culture, and moral theology, as I did even as an out-and-out atheist.  I’m just not where I stand theologically on the question of whether there is a God, of whether there is a personal God (a very key distinction) and whether that God left messages for humanity, then a message made flesh, with the Hebrews, a somewhat obscure if centrally located tribe of people.

That’s where I stand.
