@FrDaveNix @acatholiclife One might think those who claim antiquarian bases for the NOM and communion in the hand would want to retain ancient fast and abstinence practices as well

@StochasticUltra Nothing. I'm doing it next weekend for my son. As big as we can afford. But I'm curious as a society why we don't.

Question: Why is marriage or sometimes holy orders the only sacrament that we celebrate with a giant party and invite everyone we know to? Why don't we do this with baptism and confirmation? They are both once in a lifetime sacraments too.

@MrsCathComedy What is stopping you from throwing giant baptism or confirmation parties?

@UcheMaryOkoli Funerals and Requiem Masses in the TLM

Can I have your attention, please???? Can anyone kindly explain to me why our priests don't wear black chasubles??? These priests in this photo look so damn good on these black chasubles. Why can't our priests wear black chasubles???

@Joseph_Spurgeon If every person is qualified to interpret the Bible for him/herself, why do protestants have sermons? Why not just read scripture and move on?

Roman Catholics are always telling me sola scriptura is not in the Bible. That is cute. I thought you people were not supposed to interpret the Bible for yourselves. I thought that was the whole speech. The ordinary Christian cannot rightly understand Scripture. The individual believer is not authorized to settle doctrine. You need the church. You need the magisterium. You need Rome. And yet, somehow, every Roman Catholic on the internet becomes a one man magisterium the second he wants to tell a Protestant what the Bible “really says.” So here is my new rule: I do not take Bible lessons from people who insist they are not competent or authorized to give them.

@ChristopherHale Already knew that you were a liar, so...

Devout Catholics in the MAGA movement are learning, many for the first time, how much their political allies despise the faith.

@RetroCoast Please rewrite your first sentence in active voice. Who confirmed?

@ShawnRyan762 @ShawnRyan762 you got worked. Need to be less gullible

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side. They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will. So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican? thedailybeast.com/trump-official…

@ImBreckWorsham the threat that never existed? LMFAO

Pope Leo XIV is reportedly considering excommunicating VP Vance from the Catholic Church after the Trump administration's thinly veiled threat toward the Vatican. Thoughts?

@neorecusant Gotta get those Omega 3s in!!!

You guys have no idea how weird the average guy working in the SCIF really is

@ChristopherHale @KindeandTrue Keep backpedaling

BREAKING: A “Vatican source close to Pope Leo XIV” tells NBC Chicago that the Pentagon meeting between Trump officials and the Vatican’s top American diplomat “was most unpleasant and confrontational.” This is now the fourth news outlet to describe the meeting in this way.
