As a candidate currently in another orthodox but pedantic RCIA program, I've found myself perplexed by the 'heresy police' in the Catholic blogosphere. Your emphasis on looking beyond the liturgical wars (arguments get rather heated there, so pardon my term) reminds me that one of the biggest obstacles in my conversion has been the ongoing bitter, finger-pointing disputes within different camps of well-meaning Catholics. And I had to write because the charge of the Rohirrim never fails to bring me to tears. Silly but true. Thank you for your voice, and may you be blessed .

I watched and enjoyed the movies with my kids, who have read the books and would have known the reference. I'm woefully ignorant of Tolkein's writing. Well, so far we haven't seen any FSSP priests in Chico. Fr. Lebele was supposed to be here last Sunday, but something happened - he may have gotten lost on his first trip - and a local priest had to say the Mass. I suspect we'll get all three as time goes on. Hopefully you'll get a full-time FSSP priest in Fresno this year. I think your community is larger than ours. If we end up with a full-time priest in Chico I will be surprised.

You know, my girlfriend's brother, who altar serves at the TLM at St. Anthony's, told me that once the F.S.S.P. gets their new ordinations that are coming up, the strain will be lessened a lot. BTW which priests come to Chico? In Fresno we get either Fr. Lebel or Fr. Depre. Now, for the name. It's from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings...I don't know if you've read the books or seen the movies or anything...but the Rohirrim are a nation of people who live on a large plain and thus have become excellent horsemen. They call their land the "Riddermark" or Rider-land, which is the source of my domain name. In Lord of the Rings, not to give too much away in case you read or watch it, they ride for several days to reach a battle against evil forces at which they are hopelessly outnumbered. I figured that was as good a metaphor as any for the status of Catholics today. Anyway, Forth Eorlingas! is their battle cry, which is why I gave that title to my first post. Anyway, good to see you here, and thank you for the link. Hi Jeff,

Great to see you blogging: I'll put you in the blogroll shortly. Hope it doesn't take over your life! Fresno ... between you and the Chico group (that's us), we're really putting the squeeze on St. Stephen's in Sacramento. Hello Daniel! Great to see you blogging: I’ll put you in the blogroll shortly.
