@BackwardsFeet It’s hard to get one right, especially for those of us who are short and stout and have thick necks.

Fr. Ripperger's cassock is also a bit too big and rumply for him.

Menswear guy but for clerics Something that has always bothered me about Fr. James Altman, ignoring any other controversy, is that he can't seem to wear a cassock well. 🧵

@theodramatist @therevollie Already following!

@unpoetaloco That’s the pot calling the kettle black! Walz is one of the ELCA Lutherans in a global communion of 75.5 million Lutheran believers in 150 national Lutheran churches, and who are vastly more numerous than the handful of splinter churches who also claim the name of Lutheran.

@jacobjerickson @AntheaButler Also here to help….

@NegroAphrodite Guy and Rob: married 10 years; together for 30.

Do you know any queer people who have been together for 10 years?

@rfkram I’ve had the same reaction. People want to find something nice to say.

Bishops wear crosses on chains. Most people don’t know that. Every now and then, people think I am wearing it for fashion reasons and have a negative reaction. Today in a drive through a young man said “Nice chain, man” and he was complimenting me. Made me laugh.

Our little family (two men and a parrot) wishes all of yours peace and joy in the celebration of Easter and Passover. May you be liberated from your fears and given hope to face the future. God is with us, and loves us, and calls us to better days.

@RichPreston @BBCNews @BBCWorld @SofiaBettiza @caroline_gm_d Love the tie! I could make out the rabbits all the way from America!

It's a rabbit ties kind of night... 🐇 With you on @BBCNews @BBCWorld shortly: 🇮🇷 @SofiaBettiza on threats to Iranian journalists 🇺🇸 Jimmy Carter leaves hospital 🇹🇷 @caroline_gm_d reports from one of the areas worst hit by Turkish quake Join me from 8pm ET/1am UK/9am Singapore!

Heating points in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The city is frequently left without power because of attacks on critical infrastructure. Together with the German Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ukraine and @khmgs_ we equipped some of them to give people a place to warm up. #StandWithUkraine️

@Melanchthon61 It depends on the champagne. A really good one barely needs even to be cold. But I’ve only had such a wine a couple of times. So for the most part I agree with you.

Unpopular opinion: Champagne is okay (not great) but I would much rather celebrate with a good Cabernet Sauvignon

@AdamCSharp An old-school one: The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table—a book by O.W. Holmes (the essayist, not the jurist).

There’s a trend in Spanish slang of describing someone with an overly high opinion of themselves as a powerful fictional character, but of a tiny territory. Examples are ‘Yeti of the fridge freezer,’ ‘Aquaman of the toilet bowl,’ and ‘Tarzan of the flowerpot.’ Anybody got more?

@FrMatsW @FrPeterAnthony The neck badge is a special version of the Order of the Dannebrog, with diamonds. I’m sure he’s got the Elephant too, though.

I'm usually all in favour of the principle of "more is more," but can't help feeling the amount of metal work in the latest portrait of the King of Sweden is getting a bit "North Korean General." 😉😆

@CrankyFed Me, too, through Resolved. And George Soule.

Any other Mayflower descendants on the tl today?

@AntheaButler I’d follow you anywhere!

@AntheaButler You’re preaching it, aren’t you? You’re already warmed up! I’ll sing in the choir….

@lo_fi_priest Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope. Comedy of manners. I’m 64.

Beautiful encomium to the great John W. O’Malley SJ from pupil and fellow Jesuit scribe @JamesMartinSJ:

@MassimoFaggioli @antoniospadaro That’s very sad.

I hear that John O'Malley, SJ, has just died. A Jesuit, a scholar, a gentleman, a mentor, and a friend. I had heard the bad news about his diagnosis from him a few weeks ago, and we exchanged emails after that. I am really sad. Thanks be to God for the gift that was given to us.

@samdubbelman Congratulations!

I passed! 🥳🥵🥳🍺🍺🍺
