@PraiseBeToGod77 @HoldenCCole @SheilaEileen2 I looked up more information. It was forbidden in certain areas, not explicitly forbidden universally. The Council of Trent, while not explicitly forbidding i, did reaffirm the 500 year old tradition of receiving on the tongue.

@PraiseBeToGod77 @HoldenCCole @SheilaEileen2 I know, but the Church phased it out as devotion to the Blessed Sacrament grew. By the 7th century the Church forbad it. It was like that for 13 centuries. Today, taking the Host in the hand and then using your other hand to pick it up is not how they did it in the 4th century.

We want reverance and tradition.

@PraiseBeToGod77 @HoldenCCole @SheilaEileen2 the abuse was already occurring the ability to ask for an insult from the norm. In short, Paul VI was against it. Just like Moses permitting divorce for disobedient Israelites, Paul VI allowed reception in the hand in these places as damage control.

@PraiseBeToGod77 @HoldenCCole @SheilaEileen2 I think it’s a little disingenuous to say Paul VI restored it. He wrote Memoriale Domini to stop CitH. Many Catholics chose to ignore him and continue with the abuse. To control the damage, PVI reaffirmed the universal norm for on the tongue but gave bishops in whose diocese…

@PraiseBeToGod77 @HoldenCCole @SheilaEileen2 Now quote Bucer in the Anglican revolt.

@HoldenCCole @SheilaEileen2 In the 4th century, St. Cyril of Jerusalem taught in his Catecheses (5,21) “Approach with left hand as throne for the right, cup your palm, receive the Body of Christ saying ‘Amen.’ Then partake reverently. (No mention of tongue for the Host.) Earliest recorded tradition.

@therightfrankd I take for granted my parents, brother (& family), SIL, and life-long friends are literally in the same town as me and my family of 5 boys. We work hard to maintain friendships at Church and in the community, but it’s not something that is always a given.

I'm a Catholic, so my response to having only two kids as "bordering on sin" is nuanced. Choosing to limit family size intentionally without a grave reason is a big moral problem, yes. But that aside, I think we need to address something else on the pro-natalist Christian right (which I am very much a part of). It is generally unnatural to intentionally limit yourself to one or two kids. It is also unnatural to be open to life, to have 5+ children, with ZERO familial and community support. Traditional families had grandma living on the same street; spinster aunts and siblings who helped with babies; moms in the same neighborhood coming together daily to share the struggle. So many of the families at our church are struggling. Many kids, but parents live far away, don't practice the faith, or are estranged. Siblings are few and far between. Many of these people are trying to do something without the natural supports of a healthy community life. I'm all in on being fruitful and multiplying -- we currently have five kids and we aren't old yet! But we also need to be very aware of the breakdown of real community and the challenge that presents to big, fruitful, and often isolated families. We need more than encouraging "have more kids" if we are really going to rebuild a healthy Christian society.

@CatholicPipeCo Border collies are amazing. Can she do woodworking?

Good help is hard to find these days. What a lazy worker… Shop dog, “Lucy”

@usuallypregnant And the best part is, all your kids get to hang out with other kids who have younger parents.

@Catholic_Ham In my circle of friends, it is normal too!

I married at 19. Had my first baby at 20. People said I was ruining my life. I'm doing pretty well I think 💜

@ronsterd89 Dust

@dsforbesm1 Way ahead of you. Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day. Lite if you got em.

@Eman_8282 This is the reason they invented the bacon grease jar a.co/d/08a3LVIi

My grandma used to do this all the time!!

@Lewisdygl , have you tried this blend? I recently acquired some and have found it very comforting. Cheers! smokingpipes.com/pipe-tobacco/s…

Quite possibly my new favorite. When my 2oz. trial size is used up I will be ordering 16 oz. , if that tells you anything.

@indiucky They do Rustification like no other. I have three Petersons with that finish. It makes the pipe easier to grasp and it lets the heat of the bowl be manageable.

New little Peterson in a nice size...

@BackwardsFeet Yeah, I think “apocryphal” is probably the best descriptor. I’ve found too many quotes and stories in trad circles to be disingenuous. But it is interesting that they are becoming part of the folklore. Glad you got the reference. That was my only point.

@Catholic_Ham I do get the reference. However, the Monday after Pentecost in 1970 was not green vestments as the apocryphal story purports to tell; it likely still would have been red vestments as the memorial of Pope St. John I.

throwback to my second Mass and first TLM on Monday of the Octave of Pentecost

@Beretta_USA My hope is that Beretta will make a G model with a Decocker-Only if they see the popularity of the 80x rise. I understand the economics right now, but plz put that bug in their ear.

@Beretta_USA Yes. It will be my next EDC. I’m happy to see a DA/SA semi-auto pistol from a major gun manufacturer that is a realistic size for AIWB. Kudos to Beretta.

Easy to rack, easy to conceal. Is the 80X Cheetah your next EDC? 🤔 #Beretta #80XCheetah #80Series #EverydayCarry #EDC
