Father Jim Tucker, author of the weblog Dappled Things, was the celebrant for the Old Latin Mass at St Lawrence yesterday. A colleague and I had the honor of serving him at the altar. (Sal couldn't get over how young he was. It can happen.)
Anyway, in today's entries, the good Father draws our attention to an animated history of imperial conquest in the Middle East. "I wonder about the last second's speculation about an 'Iranian Empire.' The other 89 seconds are very good, though." Uh-huh. My personal favorite is "The Caliphate" taking over southern Europe. Recent comments from their Islamic descendants might be construed as an inkling to give it another shot. (Ya think???)

The stunning painting at the top of the blog article, completely ruined by the crop in picture, what is the name of that painting???
Wow, this was ten years ago. I honestly don't remember. In fact, I'm not even sure I knew ten years ago. Sorry.
