@catholiccom It is my understanding that although meat is currently allowed today, there is nothing wrong with an individual Catholic choosing to follow the older practice of abstaining even on Easter Friday. Meat is not required to celebrate.

Each day within the eight-day celebration of the Easter octave is a solemnity, the Church’s highest class of feast. This means Catholics must shift their thinking when it comes to the usual Friday penance. Whereas the Church requires Catholics to abstain from meat, fast, or substitute some other penance on Fridays for almost the entire year, all of these practices are contrary to Church discipline when it comes to the celebratory spirit of the Easter octave!

@YoYoNancy11 @itsdraisteam Scoring 50 goals is not what I mean by Gretzky numbers tho

@Pedring6100 @itsdraisteam Charlie Simmer ... Blaine Stoughton ... Danny Gare ....Anders Hedberg ... John Ogrodnick ... do you know these guys ??? They all scored 50 goals in the 80's ....

gretzky would be a third liner in mcdavid’s era but mcdavid would put up 10 points a night in gretzky’s era

@tomhfh We still call them collectively the 'shadow cabinet', at least colloquially.

@HFTVSports OT or shootout winner pretty much always gets 1st star

I don’t understand how and why Caufield got 1st star last night. Idk if this was a way to force him to do an interview about 50 goals because he hasn’t done a media availability in a while, but there were many other players deserving of that 1st star, especially Dobes.

@FrLavery If I recall, in the same text Dom Gueranger recognizes that the vigil began after None, which is my personal preference. It stretched through the night on account of the numerous baptisms in the Early Church.

I suppose this anonymous Twitter magisterium also thinks Dom Gueranger was guilty of "poor scholarship" in his universally acclaimed "Liturgical Year." Dom Gueranger: "It was the practice of the Church, and one that had been handed down from the earliest Ages, that the Sacrifice of the Mass should not be offered up either yesterday or today [Holy Saturday]... Such, we repeat, was the discipline of the Latin Church for nearly a thousand years: but about the 11th century, an important change began to be introduced with regard to the celebration of Mass on Holy Saturday. The Mass which, hitherto, had been celebrated during the Night preceding Easter Sunday, — then began to be anticipated, on the Saturday; but it was always considered as the Mass of the hour of our Lord's Resurrection, and not as the Mass of Holy Saturday." It's always easy to catch the Pius XII Holy Week critics in a contradiction, since their opinions are not founded on truth or on anything Catholic, but on their own inflated opinion of their personal preferences.

@TaylorRMarshall Organ not silent after the Gloria though? Or is that not a thing in the new rite?

The Roman Cathedral of Saint John Lateran is the historic and proper church for celebrating Maundy Thursday. I rejoice to see the Holy Father Pope Leo XIV following in the footsteps of the pontiffs before him.

@fsanmartin2014 @IciAilleursLa Comment tu veux que le pape porte cette croix sur sa poitrine.

@IciAilleursLa Je préfère cette croix de bois, née des souffrances de nos frères et sœurs migrants. La croix de la dignité, non d'une ostentation insultante.

@bradley_steve @tenyearsnow I don't deny that New Zealanders are not the same as Brits, but British heritage is a large part of New Zealand's identity and if they want to acknowledge that on the flag then they should.

@Pedring6100 @tenyearsnow Nope. They're not British, they're New Zealanders/Kiwis. That's their identity. Canada changed its flag to stop being a British ensign as long ago as 1965 (despite similarly being 'their identity'). Time for AUS & NZ to be their own distinct nations too 👍 share.google/w3uZLmjnb0x4Ox…

New Zealanders vote to retain the current flag over the proposed design in the nation's flag referendum. More than 2 million people vote in the referendum.

@bradley_steve @tenyearsnow That is their identity tho

@tenyearsnow Crazy & embarassing that New Zealand & Australia don't have their own proper flags. i.e. ones which don't just advertise who their colonial masters were for years (& still are to an extent, via the king). Time to step up & be your own countries with your own identities, people👍

@SportsaholicA @poitrasenator @RachelKryshak @LalimesMartian Because teams would settle for a tie rather than risk losing while pushing for a goal, making OT quite boring.

@poitrasenator @RachelKryshak @LalimesMartian And it used to be like that too. Dunno why they removed it.

The NHL has an OT problem. Those loser points add up and teams in the race at this point in the season seem more than fine just letting it get to OT so they guarantee a point. Final mins of regulation turn into a joke. Please discuss.

@leap_dog @yourlyingeyes @colbycosh Perhaps this was the case in English, but in French the standard translation of the Lord's prayer and others used the formal pronouns until the 60's. Only recently was it changed to the informal 2nd person.

no it's like "thou" defeating "you". it's exactly the opposite of what happened in english

@JGHillside @Swedrask @CurlingCanada @TeamBradJacobs @TeamCanada @CBCOlympics @Olympics They tried to call these more strictly and found that virtually every team was doing it and bsaically gave up.

Cheating continues in Canada's curling team. Skipper Brad Jacobs is caught cheating in tonight's match against the Czech Republic. The team embarrasses Canada and must be disqualified from further participation. @CurlingCanada @TeamBradJacobs @TeamCanada @CBCOlympics @Olympics

@sofiartworks In addition to other reasons stated by other comments, fasting rules also had a role to play. The faithful had to refrain from all food and drink including water from midnight to receive communion.

Medieval Christianity is a very curious thing because, while it was present in every single aspect of their daily life, their practices were so different to ours it feel shocking And by that I mean, what do you MEAN they only confessed and received communion once a year each???

@CdnElectWatch It seems to me to be similar to travels in the NBA. Legally against the rulebook, but rarely called by the book unless very egregious.

This curling controversy is also a bit of a culture clash. Canadians: There are rules, but a call is missed and violating it doesn't really make a difference, it's bad form to whine about it. Swedes: Rules are rules are rules. Lax enforcement is a disgrace, full stop.

@robbertleusink I wonder how many couldn't legally be demolished due to being protected historical buildings.

Since Vatican II, Dutch bishops sold over 700 Catholic churches: -Nightclubs -Event venues -Luxury apartments -Some even became mosques Justified it as 'preserving the building' But profanation is worse than demolition Destruction > humiliation

@sapphicsforsab Don't know about the Olympics specifically but many pro leagues don't formally ban women from competing if they were good enough so it makes sense to not specify that it's a men's league.

it’s so fucking stupid that men are always the default. women can never just have a tournament, it’s the women’s tournament, women can never just be a hockey player, they’re a women’s hockey player. i don’t think men have any clue how fucking exhausting it is to live like this
