@ChristopherHale I don’t think the pentagon is a good place for a mass. It’s better if the pentagon allows people to go to church nearby

Pete Hegseth should’ve allowed the Commemoration of the Lord’s Passion, which includes the distribution of the Holy Eucharist and the veneration of the cross of Jesus Christ, to occur, because it has occurred at the Pentagon at every Good Friday in modern history. Why do MAGA evangelicals disdain the Catholic Church so much?

@ClemSkelton @Garrett_Archer The blessed sacrament is a term for the Eucharist

@AbeHinterland @Garrett_Archer are you confusing sacrament and communion? Because most sacraments aren't performed; Baptism, Marriage, etc. However I know they offer " preblesseed" communion wafers today.

Good Friday is the one day of the year mass is not celebrated.

@BernardMalmamud @ChristopherHale @EWTN @USCCB @Catholic Remember when Obama tried to force nuns to pay for abortions

@ChristopherHale I told you they would turn on Americans next he’s going to jail Catholics who refuse to convert to evangelical Christianity @EWTN @USCCB @Catholic

NEW: For the first time in modern history, the Pentagon offered no Good Friday services for Catholics. While Catholics don't celebrate Mass on Good Friday, they do venerate the cross of Jesus Christ and receive the Eucharist. Earlier this year, Pete Hegseth invited his pastor to speak at the Pentagon. That pastor has called for banning public expressions of Catholicism in the United States. thelettersfromleo.com/p/trump-vance-…

@ChristopherHale @chick_right It’s optional but traditionally Catholics do not receive Holy Communion

@chick_right We receive communion today from yesterday’s consecration in a communion service. Here’s Pope Leo XIV today in Rome.

@ClemSkelton @Garrett_Archer Wrong, actually the sacrament is available, there is just no consecration so it’s not a mass

@Garrett_Archer Agree there's no masses, however services are held in most Catholic churches, without the sacrament.

@CharlesSchutt8 @ChristopherHale Chris Hale, it should give you a bit of pause that your following includes HIV infected apostate former priests.

@ChristopherHale As a Vatican 2 ordained priest I just have to say if people are going to these long boring irrelevant services for the next 3 days they have nothing going on in their life and are really hard up for entertainment, Stone Age theology and Medieval Rituals have no place in 2026!

The attendance at Holy Thursday Mass is upwards of 150%. I went to the same parish four years ago on Holy Thursday, and it was half empty.

@ChristopherHale @johnddavidson Unfettered capitalism like implementing tariffs to protect against offshoring and the erosion of working class manufacturing jobs?

Is rejecting unfettered capitalism part of rejecting liberal modernity, @johnddavidson?

@bronwenmcshea The Dominicans at st joes are very orthodox and traditional. Incense, bow at the name of Jesus, offered matins and lauds this morning, latin used during mass. Compare to church or epiphany. Crazy Jesuit does a power point during mass, bashes Trump, pews are 80% empty

@bronwenmcshea I know a lot of young people who go to st joes. It’s prob 80% conservatives. The reality is going to church every week is an inherently traditional and conservative activity. As for the contemporary band members, they are overwhelmingly liberals and homosexuals and non Catholics

I love seeing the multiple news stories in recent months (this latest one below behind a paywall, mea culpa) about all the 20/30-somethings flocking to Catholicism in NYC, almost all focused specifically on the Dominicans' Greenwich Village parish. But, at some point I'd love for the journalists out there to discover that many other Catholic churches in and beyond Manhattan -- many of them NOT run by the (great, effective) Order of Preachers, and not all of them easily characterized by phrases like "anti-woke", or socially-mobile-professional, or whatever -- are increasingly packed to the rafters, standing room only, every Sunday. And they might also see that that many women and men of a variety of ages -- not just "hot", clubbable, Gen Z kids -- are among those returning or coming for the first time to the Faith and increasingly filling the pews these days. AND, above all, whatever journalists, editors, & producers deem to be good copy or not in this cultural/political moment, I would LOVE it it the pastors of these growing numbers of crowded churches would start scheduling in an additional Mass or two at this point on Sundays -- so that more people (including the moms with kids, the construction worker who has been working hard, not at a keyboard, all week, and the elderly folks using canes or walkers...) can more easily find a seat and recollect themselves. washingtonpost.com/style/trends/2…

@Dred_Tory Catholics overwhelmingly voted for trump. Even more so when you consider practicing Catholics

I'm a bad Catholic, but a Catholic still. There have always been two Churches. One is the Church of Maximilian Kolbe, Alfred Delp, and Franz Jägerstätter. The other is the Church of the Bishop Barrons--craven court jesters who coddle enthroned degenerates like Donald Trump...

@freeUkraineasap @Dred_Tory Because anybody can add you to a random list

@Dred_Tory The Bishop has not explained why he is on lists called Kiekslave and Kiekslave faxxot. The hypocrisy he preaches will come back to haunt him.

@ChristopherHale The Pope is against the war that Ukraine is fighting

Zelenskyy and Herzog called Pope Leo XIV today. Macron is going to visit him next week. Donald Trump still hasn’t spoken to him once.

@karndogs @ChristopherHale Pretty much all of them, even in NYC where I go. It’s exceedingly rare to find a liberal or democrat who goes to mass every Sunday

@ChristopherHale How many Catholics are MAGA? Most Catholics where I live are.

@NYCMayor Christ is King

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

Seems like a really large venue for such a small group. Almost like these chosen people must have some kind of disproportionate power

@VanderbiltU @Tennessean Seems like a really large venue for such a small group. Almost like these chosen people must have some kind of disproportionate power

For the first time ever, Chabad of Vanderbilt hosted its annual Passover seder inside FirstBank Stadium, bringing hundreds of students together for an unforgettable on-field celebration. Read more in the @Tennessean: vu.edu/knt33
