how many times do you reuse a towel after showering before washing it?

@oliverburdick Me

Who else has read the Bible cover to cover?

@paul_jkrause Washington Irving

The short story is a great art to teach writing, it is also wonderful fun just to read. Who is the most recent author you've read short stories from? Me: Edgar Allan Poe.

@Ritualist_06 You mean Sacraments

Let me confusion y'all a little 😂 What are the 7 Catholic rituals? Don't Google the answer just tell me

@JesusIsLord0405 False!

I deleted my last question because it seems I have phrased it poorly. Second try: I recently saw an Orthodox priest making an argument against us Catholics, that in Catholicism, certain individuals are not given the holy Eucharist if they are too severely mentally disabled. Is that true? Is there such a teaching in Catholicism?

@h_e_p_56 I love Pope Leo

What does a good catholic do when they realize the pope is not catholic?

@roddreher Catholicism is not determined by popular opinion.

"Influential"? These guys are all Boomer liberals, Francis appointees who do not represent the mainstream of US Catholic opinion, and certainly not where the spiritual energy is among the laity. Nor the future of the Catholic Church in the US.

@Benedicta_Bee I stand with the Pope

Communism is a sin

@roddreher Since when is Catholicism determined by popular opinion?

@RichardGowan1 I stand with Pope Leo

I am not a Catholic, or indeed a believer. But I think this is my Pope.

@all_themoxie I stand with the Pope

I joined the Catholic Church for a reason—I believe it is the Church Christ founded. I spent a LOT of time studying the faith and reading the Catechism cover to cover before my baptism. Lately, I’ve found myself struggling with some of the Holy Father’s public statements. The tone feels absolute, and I’m having a hard time reconciling that with the Church’s full teaching that I’ve studied in depth. And if I’m honest, the reaction in my own heart has not been good. So I’m choosing to guard my heart. For now, I’m stepping back from @Pontifex’s social media and these conversations. I will keep the prayers and rosaries I’ve committed to, and I will continue to pray for the Holy Father. But my focus needs to stay where it belongs: the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the guidance of my priest. Lord, have mercy. Keep me faithful and rightly ordered.

@TheOnlyEsta I stand with the Pope

Do you agree with Pope Leo against the Trump administration's claims? 👍🏽 or 👎🏽

Do not let your politics shape your faith. Let your faith shape your politics.

@bookkeepPLUS I love Pope Francis

The Pope is evil But Trump is a Cyrus that God uses Did I say that correctly?

@ScottRoberts You missed the word "aesthetic"

You can keep the cathedrals and stained glass. I'll take biblical authority and doctrinal purity any day. Truth is not measured by architecture or aesthetics, but by the Word of God. A beautiful building means nothing if it drifts from Scripture.

@___mithrandir_ It was a different time, place, and context, not to mention that weapons of mass destruction did not exist.

A reminder that the Roman Catholic church literally has a saint - Joan of Arc - whose whole thing was that God was telling her to go to war to save France. I mean, they did try her in a kangaroo court and murder her, but still.
