@OnlyACartwright I hope they find Earth.

@christisrisen17 SSPX is not in the position of having to preserve the apostolic succession of the Latin Church (except in the view of those who consider the new ordinal invalid).

@FrMatkin In what way is SSWH more dire than SSPX?

The situation of SSPX should be worked out. In the Church of England, the Society of Ss. Wilfred and Hilda is a parallel situation, only more dire. But they are kept in the CofE and their apostolate is to not only preserve catholic teaching, but also the apostolic succession.

Dr Malachi Martin was ordained to the priesthood by Leo Jozef Cardinal Suenens of Belgium in 1954.

For those of you who object to organized religion, don't worry, it's really not as organized as it looks. But then, that's not really your objection, is it?

@oblatenate #notmypresident

My career has taken an unexpected turn: I’m still working for a home services company but my president assigned me a task I didn’t expect, and so it’s time to start from scratch once again.

The Marxist communism of the Soviet empire was international socialism. The Marxist communism of China is national socialism.

@TaylorRMarshall It's also about the people's attachment to familiar language. When Jerome's vulgate was published, the Church started using it for the lectionary readings, but still retained older liturgical language forms, such as in the Pater Noster.

When the Roman Mass was translated from Greek into Latin in the 4th century, they decided NOT to translate the ninefold “Kyrie eleison” (Lord have mercy) into Latin but to keep it as Greek. Same for Aramaic/Hebrew words like Sabaoth and Amen. These were intentional “language anchors.” I think the same argument could be made for the Novus Ordo. The Kyrie should stay Greek. Gloria, Pater Noster, Agnus Dei etc should stay Latin. This is clearly the intention of the Fathers at Vatican 2. Agree or disagree? PS: My personal preference is pre-1951 Roman Rite in Latin with established “language anchors” (e.g., Greek Kyrie).

@TheStingisBack I love that the BMW speaks with a German accent.

Pierce Brosnan (73 today) may not be everyone’s favourite Bond, but he might be the one who had the most fun; fully embracing the playful, debonair spirit of 007. Brosnan’s advice to the next Bond: “enjoy the role.” I hope they do.

When was the last time you visited Disney?

It's a long cherished tool of classic cinema to tell a story through a sword fight (even laser swords).

After the Reform Party HUMILIATED Labour in elections, Keir Starmer smeared the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally as “extremist” and banned Conservatives from entering the country. The people of England’s response?: Tens of thousands FLOODING the streets 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A wonderful gem for Ascension from A Companion to the Festivals and Fasts of the Church of England: "to pass through all the courts of this world, and with his blood to enter into the highest heavens"

We've been doing this for a really long time.

I'm happy for his reversion to Christ. It sounds like he was probably already baptized. If so, he shouldn't be baptized again. In the Anglican Church, we have a rite to celebrate such a reversion in the reaffirmation of baptismal promises where we welcome a Christian home anew.

🚨 OLYMPIAN RYAN LOCHTE: "We started watching these people getting baptized, and something came into me, something so pure." "I'm going to start crying. It felt so real watching these people get baptized." "And I asked [my girlfriend], 'What is this?'" She said, "They're washing away their sins. They're getting a fresh start publicly." "And I was like, 'Honey, I want that.'" "And so, I got baptized. I washed away my sins, and trust me, I had a lot!" "... To put your life in front of God and give it to God has changed everything for me." "I'm finding who I am." "I am being a better father, a better person, and I just love the person that I've become now, and I owe it to God." @SatAmericaFNC @FoxNews ⬇️

Fr. John-Julian, OJN, would give one sermon a year on giving and stewardship. He would stand up and say – "There are two biblical models for giving: The first is giving all that you have to the church. The second is 10%. You must choose one!" He would then sit down.
