(It’s not linking if it’s done in perfect charity, or something like that…)
Visitors to my comments boxes may have noticed a new voice: the estimable Father Stephanos, O.S.B.. I have had the pleasure of meeting Father, and now you can, too: he’s taken up blogging at One Monk of the Order of Saint Benedict.
Thanks for the plug!
I must confess.
I prefaced my homily this morning (on Mt. 5:17-19) by retelling the GodsBody bookstore encounter (“How to Make Love like a Porn Star and Be a Good Catholic”).

Matthew,
Ah! Something like that….
Then I shall have a martini or twelve in “parfait charitee,” as Chaucer would say, when the moment calls….
No offense to you, Father Stephanos – we just need to keep this equivocable young man on his toes…
JOB

JOB, after twelve martinis your eligibility to be credited for a charitable act of the will would likely be imperfect.
I would advise that prior to sipping the first glass you raise it saying, “To charity!”
If by your twelfth glass YOU are still on your toes … um … wow!
