Pope Francis

“Pope Francis’ trip to Egypt was marked Friday, April 28, by a significant step forward in ecumenical relations between the Roman Catholic and Coptic Orthodox Churches. … the two churches agreed that they would not hold baptisms for members of one church wishing to join the other.”

Sharper Iron will go offline Saturday evening 7/18/26 for upgrades.

The site is getting a visual design refresh, some new features, moving to version 11 of the Drupal platform, and also moving to an upgraded server instance.

The work could take a day or two. Most should be seeing the new site by Monday 7/20.

We’ll go offline around 9 PM Central 7/18.

Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
