@wildprichard @mugjudge @DOMA_Misconduct @The_ACNA @DioceseWGC Not only that, but Immanuel has *two* canon theologians for DWGC - the other is Kamala-voter Ray Ortlund. They are “dual practice” … trying to blend Baptist and Presbyterian doctrine (they avoid debating on baptism by calling it a “secondary doctrine”). files.constantcontact.com/f88167fc001/87…

@mugjudge @DOMA_Misconduct @The_ACNA @DioceseWGC I’m pretty sure Fr. Allberry’s position was honorary. DWGC already has a resident canon theologian. He also was ordained in the Church of England, so he has Anglican orders even if he was most recently at a non-denominational church.

Breaking: Fr Sam Allberry, a Gay Anglican, has been disqualified from ministry after admitting to an inappropriate homosexual relationship. His status within @the_ACNA remains unclear. Allberry is still listed, along with Fr Ray Ortlund, as a Canon Theologian in @DioceseWGC.

Stop. This. Now.

@NWSteury Enjoy LexVegas!

Glory glory.

@Brendan_m_Hodge Oh good, he only broke the law for 16 years. What a man of integrity!

I’ve seen various people posting as if the new bishop of West Virginia were currently in the US illegally: Evelio Menijar-Ayala did enter the US illegally from El Salvador as a teenager in 1990, but he became a legal US citizen 20 years ago in 2006.

@shagbark_hick It’s because Catholicism is foreign in both Anglo-Canada and Anglo-America 😉

Just fulfilled my Sunday obligation at a giant "spaceship" or "Protestant barn" style Church in the Diocese of the infamous modernist Bishop Michael Martin. Incredibly strange experience. Almost nothing about it visually registered as "Catholic." Why are Churches like this so often in the suburban South? It reminds me of how Catholicism feels in Anglo Canada. Lots of giant "barn" type Churches, megachurch-esque homily, bizarre artwork, insane geometrical architecture, altar girls (no boys), a dozen EMHC's, sprawling Parish campuses with huge parking lots etc. No babies (??), lots of old white people, a handful of devout-looking Mexicans. Quite a far cry from even the most modernist Parishes I've been to in the Northeast, really. Feels incredibly different somehow. I guess I can understand why there are so many "rad trads" and Eastern Convertodox in the South, at least in some sort of way. If I was discerning the Faith and this was the only expression of the Roman Rite in my area, I'll admit that it could be a hard sell. It just seems straightaway that these kinds of Parishes represent an awkward moment in Church history. Feels as if they're trying their hardest to ape the local Evangelical Churches...? And while the pews were pretty packed, I didn't see too many souls under 45 or 50. I quite wonder if these kinds of Churches are long for this world.

@RolandGunnTN Get you a girl who is enthusiastic about last minute adventures. You’ll live and die happy

Get you a girl who gets this excited about going to Kentucky.

@emmanuelfelton It is currently represented by a white Democrat. Why is that okay, but a white Republican is a problem?!

Memphis is the second Blackest big city in the country, and it’s about to be gerrymandered within an inch of its life so a white Republican can represent it in Congress. This was exactly the thing Congress was trying to address with the Voting Rights Act. tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/01/gov…

@JayDyer @redeemed_zoomer Anglicanism ✅

@redeemed_zoomer baptismal regeneration, episcopacy, relics, Eucharist, saints, works, canon law on and on and on

There is nothing that the Church Fathers unanimously agreed on that the Protestant Confessions do not also teach

@SGATweet @JackPosobiec European Catholic immigrants that overran the founding Dutch, German, English, and Swedish Protestants: “These Latin American Catholic immigrants are overrunning us!” Rich. 🙄

@JackPosobiec The Lasordas, Piazza, and Bonos also no longer live along the banks of the Schuykill

Here is where our Catholic high school lies destroyed - Norristown, PA After Norristown became a sanctuary city, community institutions like this where generations of my family went to school were crushed

@JackPosobiec Odd, since the immigrants are disproportionately Catholic themselves

@mattyglesias You know who else was a left-wing progressive populist who ran for office?

What is the upshot of the Platner tattoo discourse? Let's say I find his story fishy. I'm supposed to worry that this seemingly left-wing guy supported by all the left-wing people is secretly a Nazi just pretending to be a progressive populist?

@darlingjeromy @GRONreturns @RizomaSchool I know literacy is less common among Catholics, but you do know that the Dutch Masters - literally my first example - are generally considered the greatest painters since the Reformation, right? And that their Calvinist beliefs directly formed the foundation for their work?

@Meadein95 @GRONreturns @RizomaSchool So hymn writing is the only form of art on planet Earth? I guess it shouldn't surprise me that anl Calvinist thinks that

one thing I don't love about cultural catholicism is it doesn't have that protestant work ethic as psychotically as the WASPs. if a catholic gets some extra time, he spends it on leisure. A prot will pick up a chainsaw!

@darlingjeromy @GRONreturns @RizomaSchool Your art has been terrible since the Reformation. Y’all have hardly written a decent hymn in a millennia and essentially no good English hymns. The Dutch Masters, Beethoven, Charles Wesley, Lutheran hymnody etc.

The age that created the greatest art known to mankind? That's not an insult Mr Anonymous. We are saved by grace through faith, and faith without works is dead. That's straight from the Bible. Salvation is a single coin with two sides. Catholicism just accepts all of it and doesn't ignore The hard calling

@darlingjeromy @GRONreturns @RizomaSchool “For it is by grace you have been saved,through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Works are the fruit of faith.

@GRONreturns @RizomaSchool It's not two ways. Faith without works is dead. It's a paradox

@darlingjeromy @GRONreturns @RizomaSchool Calvinist are the people who are literally responsible for the Protestant Work Ethic, so your theory is really struggling here. That’s how a Catholic would expect to work … but not how it actually works. 🤷‍♂️

@GRONreturns @RizomaSchool And ps, "once saved, always saved" is the quintessential "nap" theology, cause you literally don't have to do anything at all but wait. You obsess over work because, deep down, you know it matters for your soul.

@alancornett The Founders viewed Parliament as the problem and only faulted George III for failure to assert his authority to grant them relief. They would be unphased.

Imagine telling the Founders that the King would visit America 250 years after they risked their lives to sign the Declaration of Independence.

@ChristopherHale No surprise.

Pope Leo XIV was asked who he’d root for between the United States and Peru in the World Cup. His answer? “Probably Peru.”

@EWErickson @AmericanFreedom @Mike_Pence @marctshort

All you Christians who kept your mouths shut about a witchcraft practitioner being Surgeon General can thank those who spoke up when you were silent because you were more interested in scraps from the table than principle. Thank you @AmericanFreedom, @Mike_Pence, and @marctshort for speaking up.

@carbo_al That’s your culture?

This is peak New England church aesthetics
