“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Forster himself in a note identified the bird as the Common Iora (Aegithina tiphia), but Prasanta Das, "’The Common Iora’ in A Passage to India," Notes and Queries 43.1 (March 1966) 54-55, observed that Forster was mistaken, as the Common Iora has white bars on its wings, not red bars.

and – Sometimes our perceptions are influenced by our state of mind or state of soul or by circumstance of the moment.
and – Sometimes the distance of years allows us to see more clearly the Will of God.
Thank you for these thoughts. As Catholics, we must try to become objective observers and objective critics, putting on the mind of Christ. I love that novel and have taught it. Also, many thanks for the bird photos.
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.
The Christian RUNS in the pitch dark while the Lord illumines his path before him. He knows little of the dangers that pass him by and little of the goods that the Lord pours upon him in sleep. He is comforted only in the sure knowledge that the Lord protects him, and guides his path because each step is revealed in due course, immediately before it must be taken, and no sooner. The faster the Christian runs not knowing what is coming the greater his faith for he more and more depends on the Lord.
This fellow looks similar to ahooded oriole, but he isn’t – what is he?
Very beautiful pictures. Sometimes it hurts to see that life is quite unpredictable but going to confession and trusting in His mercy often helps.. ;-)
I second the call for belief in his mercy and confession with a priest you trust. The Kentucky Derby was fabulous this year! It seems to me Mine That Bird is a lot like the Christian. If he lets Christ direct his steps he will inevitably grow into greater and greater perfection. It may seem in the eyes of the world that the Christian is woefully behind, but in the Truth of heaven he is very much in the running.
While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted,
…he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed.
