Some nice links

From In illo tempore, I found an Irish parish priests' reflection on trying to incorporate silence in the liturgy. Sadly, I left a comment.

At Siris, I was reminded of Millinerd, where you can find an amusing post on banishing music for its irrationality. He also alerted us to Constantine's unknown anti-patriarchalism. (Is that a word?) He talks about a lot of other neat things, too. Here I kept my mouth shut.

I've linked to some other articles at right, if you scroll down.
