I am a recent convert to the Church, having come in Easter 2006. I am a young Catholic who is intending to enter graduate school to study in theology. This blog mostly will not be of a theological nature, but occasionally will drift in that direction.

On My Blog

I recently re-read (or rather, re-skimmed) many of my previous entries and realized my blog is quite different than all the other blogs I read. Most of them are oriented toward current events with various sidesteps into doctrine and apologetics (or apologetics with various sidesteps into current events).

All Romes, on the other hand, seems a bit more loopy and varied in its thoughts, but is usually looking at more philosophical/theological ideas, like how certain actions reveal certain things about our culture.

I think I finally understand my writing a little better now that I know what I am actually writing about.

Of Passings of Time

So over two months have passed sense my last post. I am certain everyone has given up reading by now, so of course I start posting again (my blog then becomes some sort of Tabula Rosa, only for the readers and not the blog itself).

Of course, a lot has changed and everything has stayed the same (time is funny in that way, doing nothing and everything at the same time). It is much that there are the same old sins, the same old days, despite every change one makes to his or her own world. Our fight is not so much against the way we live but how we live (the difference being in actions versus intent). We must intent to live holy lives before we can.

In further news, I am contemplating starting a non-profit (at some point) under the name Studio Forma, Pursuit of Beauty. The purpose of the company would be to give money or items to parishes and religious instutions to be used for the beautification of their property. It might extend to include private individuals as well. It is incredible how much differences a single religious icon can make in an environment.

Further reports as merited.
