I'm going into the desert today to prepare for the coming of the Lord. Alas I can't tell you where I'm going as that would remove my anonymity, but it is a very special place, and I will pray especially for all blog readers there. Please keep me also in your prayers, that it may be a fruitful retreat in which I welcome Christ ever more deeply into my heart. Obviously I won't be using computers, so won't be posting again until my return, which will be at Epiphany. In the meantime, the rest of the team will continue to keep the blog exciting!

I wish you a good retreat, my friend. But I think you do need to be a little more discreet if you wish to preserve your anonymity! Your current post gives a couple of massive clues as to where you are studying, and as what the lawyers call an "amicus curiae", I would not want you to suffer as a result!!
Actually it won't remove any anonymity since you are very mistaken as to what Gildas means. Anonymity on here is not to protect anyone but to give a clear message without being embroiled in personal cliches. The idea of this blog is to support the positive, not be polemical!
I think you've slightly misunderstood what I was getting at. I wasn't seeking to discover the identity of the authors of this blog in the interests of polemics. I think that it is an excellent blog, and that the work that these men are doing is heartening. My fear is that the seminary staff might not see things in quite so positive a light if their identity was compromised. I would like to think that in the papacy of Benedict XVI, these things couldn't happen, but I know of one man at the NAC who is in trouble for saying exactly the sort of things that this blog does. So it pays to be prudent and discreet. I will pray that these men, and others like them, make it through to ordination, and that their example may encourage others to take the same path.
