NAPALM

In dialog with Mike Aquilina of The Way of the Fathers fame we have come up with a cunning plan. 

With this post I solemnly announce the foundation of a new group, the… National Association of Patristiblogging Men which shall be called NAPALM.

There are some notable bloggers on Patristic topics, or better, patristiblogggers out there.  I hope they will stand and be counted.

We need a logo now!

    NAPALM – burning out the underbrush of modern theology to see the doctrine of the Church with deadly clarity.

  2. I love the smell of NAPALM in the morning, especially during the Office of Readings.

    A logo for NAPALM, hmmmmm. Polycarp in the flames, but not consumed.

    Father: Might not “Natural” or “Neoclassical” or “Neo-Historical” or “Neologistical” or “Neo-Orthodox” or “Neo-Platonic” or “Neo-Scholastic” or ______ work better?

    You wouldn’t want to have your new organization founder over bitter disagreements as to membership eligibility. “National” seems a bit too limiting.

    I won’t touch the word “Men” right now but the word “Magistrate” does come to mind.

    Oh, no! That was my nickname for NPM (the OCP crowd-you know, burning up liturgical music with HaugenHaas).
    I’ll have to re-orient my thinking now.

    Dear Father,

    Here’s my application for membership in NAPALM:

    http://members.wolfram.com/billw/blog/archives/cat_fathers_of_the_church.shtml
    http://members.wolfram.com/billw/rosary-blog/

    The Rosary Blog idea might be something a group of NAPALMers could take over: “Writings of popes, saints and the fathers of the church on the mysteries and prayers of the Rosary.”

    Cheers –

    [pedantry on]
    But I thought they used Greek fire back then?

    Oh, and are we talking Patristiblogging Men as a translation of “vir” or of “homo”?
