Welcome

Welcome to Compendium.

The purpose of this blog is twofold, first to provide me with a place to write about topics of interest to me in the areas of faith, science, philosophy, mathematics, history and the arts, and the second purpose is to provide a place for a reasoned and reasonable discussion of these topics.

I intend to post weekly. I also intend the posts and discussions to be of substance, which will require much reading and research on my part. Hopefully those who participate will be rewarded with a thought provoking experience. I do not expect that everyone will agree with my opinions or my world view, and I invite all to participate, but I do ask that respect and fairness guide all responses.  Ideas may be debated, but ad hominem attacks are not welcome.

Since the subject matter will reflect my particular understanding of the topics discussed, which I admit may be lacking in many areas, I ask for the understanding of those whose professional and academic pursuits lie in these areas. I write as a student, and look to those whose mastery is tested by time.  I will provide references with each entry for those who would like to check my sources.

For guidance in all things I look to the Master, Jesus Christ, and His Church.
