Things I found worth reading go here. Didn't say I agreed. Said it was worth a look. But it's not so hard to dig up my opinion if you're in need of one.

I've been celebrating the 12 days of Christmas by watching a lot of Christmas movies and suddenly I've realized why I'm still single: I've never brought a fake fiancé home for the holidays! Think I can try this for St. Patrick's Day or do I have to wait till next Christmas?

I was working with an agent as a client recently. Yesterday I got some texts I was responding to with questions I needed to answer for her. Something about the word choice seemed odd. Instead of answering her question I simply asked where she was from.
“Oh! That’s a great question Lu. I’m ——‘s AI assistant. I help her out by working with clients.”
Fired. Immediately fired. I’m over here texting a damn clanker slop box set to chatty mode. This is my most boomer tier complaint. I will never work with you.

My sister tricked me into doing Magnify 90 again this year. Currently noticing how very much I like this place. Darn those Bible study ladies. Darn darn darn.
(I'm sorry to report from experience: It's a great fit for us and hits many things I truly ought to be prioritizing.)

@mattswaim Yep.
Related: Years ago I'd go to spouse's evangelical service first, then Mass. Got me absolutely primed for the Mass. And thus I left with profound compassion and sadness for everyone going straight home rather than down the block to consummate what we'd been working up to.

@JenFitz_Reads The implication being that during Evangelical services I’d close my eyes during the “prayer times,” whereas the Mass is, in its essence, Prayer Time
English
In my decades as an Evangelical, I almost always prayed with my eyes closed
In my decades as a Catholic, I more often than not pray with my eyes open
I have spent many years reflecting on the significance of this

I know, I know, Cowboys and all. But instead of a meaningless football game, watch hockey this afternoon. It’ll do you better.

My experience is that it is unpleasant to confess to priests who don't believe the sacrament is important. They tend to belittle one's contrition. So yes, their lines will be short. Priests who treasure the sacrament will have long lines.

This is a pastoral problem, not a problem with the Sacrament. Confession lines EXPLODE, when you: -proclaim The Gospel -help people come to Jesus and convert -preach the necessity of repentance & confessing sins -offer lots of opportunities to go to the Sacrament.

More than you want anything, more than you have ever wanted anything, our Heavenly Father wants to free you.
He wants to free you from your sins, from your past, from the chains you and I forge for our ourselves…all of it.
Give him your sins, give him your burdens, give him your past, give him your wounds.
He wants it all.

At every parish I’ve started in, confession is a dead sacrament. But after a couple of years of occasional preaching on the subject and generous confession times, the practice skyrockets. Every time.
Iacobus Novus@SeamusNua
New England boomer Catholics and Southern Millennial Catholics live in two different realities. The former see a dying religion in need of drastic change. The latter see a stronger religion persevering. Thus article about confession bears out the same observation. /1

14+ man hours a week of Confessions in Downtown Tulsa, OK. I always bring a spiritual book to read while waiting for the next penitent. After 18 months, I'm finally on page 2.

NCR interviews James O'Toole, whose new book, For I Have Sinned, details the growth and eventual decline of confession in the United States, prompting questions about the sacrament's future. bit.ly/4sf4Z1j

I want to introduce the transfer portal into academia. I think it could make departmental hiring way more interesting.

This is eminently true. Every place I’ve been has been flush with people seeking the Sacrament of Confession.
Fr. Paul@BackwardsFeet
Such a pathetic interview. Leading questions with an assumption already forgone. Confession isn't dead if the priests provide it. If you build it, they will come. We offer about ten man hours of confessions per week, and the lines are full the whole time.
