From a useful website:
Little is known about the reclusive Kenny Hill, a bricklayer by trade, born around 1950. In 1988, he settled on some property on the bayou in Chauvin (pronounced show-van), Louisiana—population 3,400. Hill pitched a tent as his home and, over time, built a small rustic home that demonstrated an interesting use of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4636&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Henry Karlson has written an essay entitled, Academic Theology for the website Inside Catholic, in which he criticizes the attitude of treating theology as one modern academic discipline among others. As a student of theology in a contemporary Catholic school, he complains that there is a great deal of pressure to write “something unique” rather [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4622&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The following is a slightly edited version of an essay I originally posted here.
Rather than attempting to build Christianity upon the natural virtues of Inca religion in the Andes, the Jesuits in Juli had come to see Andean customs and beliefs as a serious hinderance to the faith of Christ. The sixteenth-century emphasis on the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4607&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Quarreling with God
You&#8217;re shameless,
and you don&#8217;t think.
You quarrel with us
like a man in the marketplace.
And then you&#8217;re delighted
whenever you meet
someone who has become
just like you.
You&#8217;re itching to take off
your loincloth.
And in the end
you&#8217;ll strip us all naked.
Tuka says, you heartless man,
you don&#8217;t give a damn about yourself
or anyone else.

Once upon a time, there was a Church that didn&#8217;t need the laity. Well, it knew that it was there, but it wasn&#8217;t like it mattered or anything. The only non-clergy who actually mattered were the ones who had the swords and the guns; as long as they were on the clergy&#8217;s side, the Church [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4517&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
