Felix typo alert

Someone praised an online journalist for breaking stories instead of just commenting on them, calling him a writer "who tells readers thinks they don't already know."

On any other blog, this would just be a typo:

I just received an email asking me to use the link given to log into my PayPal account because "We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party."

Curious, since the email address in question is unassociated with a PayPal account.

Who is the email from?

A comment on the dotCommonweal post I linked to, about the Conservative Bible Project (which, from all evidence, is a sincere effort), states (emphasis added):

The Commonweal blog has been striking to me because of the participation of people of diverse shades of faith within Catholicism, and because they have, by and large, been conversing in an urban manner....

I'm pretty sure she means "in an urbane manner," and means it as a compliment.

The phrase "conversing in an urban manner" calls to mind Robin Williams's joke about the New York Echo. ("HELLOOOO!" "Shut the ^$#% up!")

In a comment at Via Media, Tim wrote:

A corrupt and sycophantic media have raved about the "historic" first black presidenvy....

That, I guess, is the vice of wishing the office was in your guy's hands.

Via five feet of fury, James Lileks writes:

"Cleverist" is a matter of opinion, but I'd suggest that when Mark Steyn gets a haircut, the shorn pieces fall to the floor and form, at random, cleverer observations in the form of Chinese characters.

A cleverist, I'd guess, is someone who thinks cleverness is a virtue.

In a comment on a post at The Curt Jester,

"Truth cannot contradict himself."

Indeed He cannot.

The Crazy Catholic titles a post "This veil of tears."

God does seem to have veiled some lives with tears. Why, and what will be found beneath the veil, we can't know for sure.

Felix typo: a prayer of St. Francis Xavier

Another felix typo

In a reflection on the Feast of the Visitation, Fr. Jordan of DC OLV Happenings writes:

Might this Marian feast and what it teaches not also suggest that the graces of Go are waiting to visit you each day ....

Certainly in hastening to visit her cousin, Mary was filled with the graces of Go.

What's holding you back?

Noting a felix typo

My favorite remains "the gaols of sex," from a mailing list discussion on sexual morality and the natural law (the person who typed that dissented from Church teaching), but I just came across this at Siris:

issues of pacifism and just wary theory

They are indeed issues that call for caution.

If you liked the "washed in the blood of the Lame" comment in the open book thread on liturgical music, you'll love Disputations's own coinage,

Contemptation

My guess is it means the lure of being too holy and high-minded to get out on the street and work for the Gospel, but your guess is as good as mine.

From a conversion story quoted at Video meliora:

The denomination in which I was raised, the Church of Christ, puts a particular emphasis on the objectivity of truth. It's a "just the facts, ma'am" approach to the gospel. Emotions are downplayed as irrelevant and distracting to the pursuit of truth-a religion of the heard rather than the heart.

Wonderful: "a religion of the heard."

That's why they call it faith.
