Sunday Meditation: Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus

"What's in a name? That which we call rose by any other name would smell as sweet." 

That famous quote illustrates Juliet's refusal to let Romeo's name poison her love for him. How many feuds like that between the Montegues' and Capulets' derive from names even centuries after the original dispute? The Hatfield/McCoy feud went on for three decades, from 1863 to 1891! And, here's a piece of trivia for you, the dispute was resurrected in the 1970s on the game show, Family Feud, where both sides benefited financially from the outcome. The McCoys won but didn't amass as much money as the Hatfields so the game show filled the gap. I guess they didn't want to be the source of a new feud.
