Thy Geekdom Come

Fellow Phatmassers,
I recently read a post by someone asking for more information on St. Augustine. Therefore, I decided to let Phatmass in on a little secret:

Seriously, I just checked this out on my computer... this is the coolest ever! Man, I can't thank you enough. Does anyone know how much this would cost to get it in books? I bet it's A LOT!

That is the same one that I have been sending to people on disk.

I have burned it along with a few other Catholic goodies... Catechism, Bible, Doc. Concordance, & ScriptureCatholic... I sent it to Pastor Ed about a year ago... I doubt he looked at it.


God Bless,

pham,

i haven't begun to download this yet, so it may be self-explanatory once i begin. but, initially i have a few questions. what's the best way to download all of this? should i make a folder for "anti-nicene" and another for "nicene and post nicene" and so on? or should i just unzip everything into the same place? is there one executable file that launches the whole thing? i'm not really sure how to begin to download all of this stuff.

someone holla back,

Does anyone know where we can find Augustine's "Retractions".

Here is an example that I found:
[quote]"In a passage in this book, I said about the Apostle Peter: 'On him as on a rock the Church was built.'...But I know that very frequently at a later time, I so explained what the Lord said: 'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church,' that it be understood as built upon Him whom Peter confessed saying: 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,' and so Peter, called after this rock, represented the person of the Church which is built upon this rock, and has received 'the keys of the kingdom of heaven.' For, 'Thou art Peter' and not 'Thou art the rock' was said to him. But 'the rock was Christ,' in confessing whom, as also the whole Church confesses, Simon was called Peter. But let the reader decide which of these two opinions is the more probable." (The Retractions, 1:20:1)[/quote]

Here it is all in one file:

[url="http://24.26.95.128/ecfplus.zip"]http://24.26.95.128/ecfplus.zip[/url]


Along with the Catechism, ScriptureCatholic.com, Bible, CatholicQuiz, Doctrinal Concordence, and the entire ECF collection.

Once you download it - it's zipped, extract it into a folder, then go to Maestro\Maestro.exe - double click the Maestro.exe and it will bring up a menu for you.

if you burn the directory to a CD, it will autorun.


ENJOY!!!

Your Servant in Christ,
ironmonk
