Word of the Day: Kenosis
KENOSIS. The voluntary renunciation by Christ of his right to divine
privilege in his humble acceptance of human status. Paul describes kenosis
aptly to the Philippians: “His state was divine, yet He did not cling to his
equality with God, but emptied Himself to assume the condition of a slave” (Philippians
2:6-7). (Etym. Greek kenosis, an emptying.)

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
