Transcription

1 Raymond Arroyo ended his program Thursday, March 9, 2017 with the charge Mother Angelica gave him to tell the truth, no matter what. Three cheers for Raymond and Mother. My problem with both of them is they both seem to begin with Church politics to then look for supporting facts; rather than beginning with facts to see how they support or not political ramifications. Material above the solid line draws from material below the solid line. Those uninterested in scholarly and tangential details should stop reading here. If they do, however, they may miss some interesting material.

Stegman, S.J., review of Peter Orr, Christ Absent and Present: A Study in Pauline Christology 7 Stegman reports, O. does not treat passages like 1 Corinthians 9:1 and at 15:8, where the apostle claims to have `seen the risen Lord. In his quest for precision, O. seems to shortchange the mysterious nature of Jesus s eschatological existence.

8 Addenda Due to greater responsiveness at the National Catholic Reporter blog, beginning with the Fourth Sunday in Lent, Reading 032B, March 15, 2015, my interest began shifting from annotating my index here, to engaging conversation there. I may keep up the Bibliography, but without further comment. Time will tell. On Wednesday, December 28, 2016, I discovered that my web site, was receiving 1000 hits per day, from the United States, most of which were for these readings. That complicates my priorities, priorities that require balancing between developing these Personal Notes, engaging writing on the National Catholic Reporter at developing a Cleveland Organizing Branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), attending to my archival resources at the Western Reserve Historical Society, and preparing my 1972 dissertation, Cleveland and the Negro following World War II for publication at least on the web. I am the founding president of the Hampton Roads, from which the movie Hidden Figures arose, meaning that these priorities have potential consequences of note. As, on June 23, 2015, I prepared Reading 110B for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary time for July 26, I decided to begin reading unread book reviews and articles from Theological Studies for two reasons. The first is I have already read every article cited in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly. The second is that traditionally Theological Studies articles have been more helpful to my prayer life. I also began reading unread book reviews in the Biblical Quarterly. Okechuku Ogbonnaya, Ph.D., (ed.) (Chicago, IL 60643: UMI (Urban Ministries, Inc.), 2016) Page 8 of 8
