@worillessg Generally, no. Unless it's porn.

Do you judge people by the books they read? Be honest.

@GringoPapist The Possessed by Dostoevsky, and a collection of poems by Coleridge.

What are you currently reading?

@Defensofidei Okay!

Catholics of X: If you could sit down for 10 minutes with any saint (living or in heaven), who would you choose and what one question would you ask them? I need more Catholic followers…. Let’s hit the follow button. We need to build a wall of defense on X

@UcheMaryOkoli Here's a quote from King Edward VII of England: "Now, We, Edward, by the grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain ... have arrived at the following decisions upon the questions in dispute, which have been referred to Our arbitration, ..."

@RonLegest Jeez. I'm more confused

Please to the Catholics on the timeline, I have a question that has been on my mind. In the creation story, God said, "us." "Let us make man in our own image and likeness." Was God referring the "us" to the Trinity or the Heavenly angels?

@UcheMaryOkoli English is a confusing language! My suggestion was simply that the writers of Scripture might have been using the royal plural. Thus, when they have God speaking, He uses "we" and "us".

@UcheMaryOkoli "The royal we, also known as the majestic plural (Latin: pluralis majestatis) or royal plural, is the use of a plural pronoun (or corresponding plural-inflected verb forms) by one who is a monarch or high office holder to refer to oneself." - from Wikipedia

@RonLegest I don't understand

@UcheMaryOkoli There is a tradition of royalty using "we" instead of "I". Queen Victoria, for example, is often cited as saying things like, "We are not amused." So, the inspired writers of Scriptures using their understanding of how to refer to and quote God applied the same rule.

@DefiantLs Maybe because they WERE sex offenders?

Sen. Scott Weiner: "LGBTQ people have been massively and disproportionately targeted and subjected to being slammed on the s*x offender registry."

@PopCrave Someday people will look back at this and ask, "What were we thinking???"

Pride Month begins in one week.

@Victoria1439162 People make mistakes. What's more important is that they agree not to have sex with you until you are married.

Should virginity matter when choosing a partner!?

@GringoPapist Okay.

I need some more Catholic followers for my sanity.

@emilyjuniper_ Watch the language, please. Gratuitous swearing makes you look immature.

Why does being gay, bisexual, or transgender require an entire month-long celebration of those identities? Fucking ridiculous.

@inkandseerah My annual reading goals are 60 - 70. I'm up to 32 this year already. But I'm retired 2025 - 76 2024 - 72 2023 - 69 pre-retirement 2019 - 26 2018 - 35 2017 - 24 (I was a teacher, so I was also reading a lot of class-related works. And yes, I keep a record of books read!)

can we PLEASE normalize achievable reading goals??? +100 books a year, it’s NOT common

@softherera Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None is often cited as her best. Jane Austen's novels Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier - romance and mystery Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, a personal favorite The Brother Cadfael mysteries of Ellis Peters The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey

@RonLegest I like romance and mystery

I need book recommendations

Henry VIII was named "Defender of the Faith." He kept the title, but cast the Faith aside when he wanted to make mistress Anne a short-term bride.

@ViaAnglicana @grok @ShaneSchaetzel Henry VIII was named "Defender of the Faith." He kept the title, but cast the Faith aside when he wanted to make mistress Anne a short-term bride.

@grok @ShaneSchaetzel How about Anglican / Episcopal churches?

Let’s ask Grok… @grok In the U.S., which Christian denomination is most in line with early Christianity and is widely available and easy to find in most places.

@ViaAnglicana @grok @ShaneSchaetzel They are break-away churches begun because a king wanted to divorce his wife and marry his mistress.

@SkyVirginSon This fellow ...

¿Sabes quién es este? ¡Apostaría que 9 de cada 10 personas no tienen ni idea!

@AstraJobriath June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

can we skip it this year and instead dedicate a month to Jesus? It would be much more beneficial.
