A New Religious Community

The Quincy House would like to announce the formation of a new religious community, the Society of Sts. Columba and Francis Xavier (SSCFX). In light of various technological developments and theological discussions, the need for SSCFX has become quite clear. The Society will dedicate itself to a three-fold mission:

(1) Ministering to those members of the human race who are beyond the atmosphere of Planet Earth.

(2) Evangelizing any ensouled extraterrestrial species which (a) might be encountered by human beings, (b) be in need of redemption and, (c) by God's grace, have His mercy available to them.

(3) Combating the heresy of axenoism, which claims that other ensouled races cannot exist because the Incarnation can only redeem humanity. This heresy is an affront to the power of God, Who may redeem any He so chooses, and by any means.

Formal approval of SSCFX by the Holy See is pending, but Proto-Abbot James Thomas Kennelly is already accepting donations. For further information, please email SSCFX@quincyhouse.net.

Monks seize troops in Burma town

Yes, folks, you read that headline correctly. The BBC reports:

Twenty Burmese security officials who were taken captive for several hours by Buddhist monks have been released. The officials arrived at the monastery in the town of Pakokku to apologise for injuries caused during a protest on Wednesday... but angry monks set fire to their vehicles and refused to let them leave.... The officials were freed after a senior abbot intervened.

Reality is far stranger than fiction.
