Comments are down again [UPDATE 2]

It looks like not all the comments made are appearing on the blog right now. I don't think the comments get lost, as I'm being emailed comments that don't make it to the blog. So, if your comments don't turn up, don't worry. They'll turn up eventually. Hopefully it won't take too long.

[UPDATE 6:47pm] My test comments are in the popup comment box, but not turning up on the other screens.

[UPDATE 7 July, 9:23am] A number of comments are now missing from various posts. I am hopeful that when Blogger fixes the commenting bug, these will return. For now, I will not panic. And, if the comments are lost for good, I'll begin the tedious process of adding the comments to the posts from my email.

Yesterday, we just had the problem of new comments not turning up, and so to remedy that, I put them up in this post.

Andrei has left a new comment on your post "Have we lost sight of that which is holy?":

It is easy to be offended at a swear word in a building and create headlines related to such, invoking the ongoing culture war yet hold back outrage at the very things Christ himself called us to express our concern for.

I think you are being a little unfair here - this post is not one of outrage but of puzzled sadness - and without DPFs post the swear word in a building would have gone unnoticed and unremarked by anybody.

So much for "culture war".

And while the church is just as building as you say it is also God's temple - a place where we put aside our earthly cares and concerns, or are supposed to anyway, for worship. Temples are for prayers not profanity.

Remember to that in a fallen world we too as individuals are fallen and the church is like a hospital where we go for healing because we are as fallible and broken as everybody else.

After contemplating that which is truly important and succored by the sacrament we may venture forth to (try and) do the things you suggest we should be doing and to live our lives according to God's for will for us as best we can.

This is how I see it

"Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them." Matt 18:20.

That's a spiritual presence only. Though, He could physically appear if He wanted to.

The difference is, if you could imagine, Jesus physically present, how different that would be.

Buildings are just buildings, unless He is in one of them - then they feel completely different.

Yeah, I remember those conversations. :)

KG has left a new comment on your post "Wikipedia sucks the kumera":

I know several people who regard Wikipedia as an infallible source of information and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.
Some of the goings-on behind the scenes among the editors are very dodgy indeed.
