Dear Blessed people of God,

We are now entering the month of February and everyone knows what that means; campaigns and primaries. You are probably asking yourself, Oh Father are you really going to deal with politics? It is probably better if you didn't. Well my dear friends believe it or not we do  have something to say about it and we should.

If you have ever attended an Orthodox Christian Divine Liturgy, you know that we pray for the President of the United States, not the Republican or Democratic President but THE PRESIDENT.  We also pray for our leaders to govern in peace so that we might live lives in piety and holiness.  So, if St. John Chrysostom can raise the issue we felt it was safe for us to do it as well.

Here we go again. The predictions are back stronger than ever and this time with a movie to boot about the Apocalypse. But I must confess to you I am thrilled to finally be doing such interviews on CRTL because I am so tired of hearing all of the carnival barkers talk about the End Times when they really have no idea what they are talking about.

What does the Orthodox Christian Faith teach about the End Times, End of the World, the Apocalypse?  What about Sts. Paul, John Chrysostom and the Disciples of Christ?  What did they have to say?  What about the Mayan Calendar? Is it something we should be using to predict and declare December 21, 2012 as the end of the world as we know it?

Santa Claus is coming to town...Merry Christmas..Happy Holidays...Christ is Born! So just what are we supposed to say when we greet someone this season?

We are on our way to the great holiday of Christmas. As I traveled with my family this Thanksgiving I couldn't help but hear Christmas carols being sung in the malls and on the public address systems in the subway systems of our nation's Capitol. Christmas decorations appeared instantly in stores and on the homes.
