@_CWheatland Where's the line though? For example, in Theology the core texts are in Greek or Hebrew. The ancient commentaries are in Latin. And then there is modern scholarship happening in English, German, Italian, Spanish. Do you need to be a polyglot to do scholarly work?

@cecsquared With more of the population delaying having children into their 30s and 40s, the possibility of having Grandparents alive at a High School or College Graduation is diminishing.

@PaulinusOfTrier I have been refused Communion on the tongue while kneeling. I also attended an actual "Clown Mass," although thankfully it was in the Parish Hall not Church. It was the "entertainment" at a day long First Communion retreat. The Eucharist was symbolized by a rubber chicken. 🤢

Has anyone actually been at a Mass where there was liturgical abuse, as opposed to seeing it on internet? I have seen these examples. (1) use of crockery at a Mass instead of proper vessels. (2) untrained volunteers being given the role of extraordinary ministers of holy communion resulting in compounded abuses. (3) refusal to give communion to a person who was kneeling for it.

@RobProvince I honestly didn't remember any women at first then remembered the woman complaining her grocery bags weren't double bagged. Can't remember another woman who talked. The woman who gave Brooks the key didn't say anything.

@LFTGPod01 Any conference realignment that doesn't put Oklahoma in the Big12 with Nebraska is an automatic fail.

@gonefishin1948 I have been told that Dies Irae was not an appropriate chant for the Offertory. I argued that we are dying to ourselves and so it's appropriate. But "Day of Wrath and Doom Impending" was a no go.

I’m afraid Anthony Colandrea just talked me into an undefeated season
On3@On3

NEW: Nebraska QB Anthony Colandrea tells @PeteNakos expectations have changed in Lincoln👀 "You’re not here to just not win a national championship. I’m not coming here to just win eight or nine games. I want to win a national championship; I want to go to the playoffs. I have high expectations, and we have high expectations as a team. When I first got here, it felt like the bar was eight or nine wins, and I was like, no — we want to win 11, 12 games. We’ve got to go win. That’s the biggest thing."

Got matched up with another single yesterday while golfing. Great. He’s talking about his ex wife. She lives in Sandy, she owns a bar, they have a 28yr old daughter 😟 I’m 98% sure I’m dating his ex wife. I ask her name. He replies “Jessie” I’m dating his ex wife.

@KristyT I can't believe you don't want to go to your own son's graduation! It's not a graduation, he's moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade. It's a Ceremony! It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity, but if someone is genuinely exceptional..."

@TheCatholicEngr My Pastor moved a Statue of St. Anthony out of the Church to make room for St. Vianney. That same day, lost his wallet, it was gone for a week. Finally, he put St. Anthony back in the Church... and found his wallet. Guess who requested the parish build an additional ledge? 😂

I'm not saying St. Anthony physically takes your lost item and puts it in a really obvious place, but there have been many occasions where I felt like that was the only possible explanation

Me (to Patient): Any history of TB or long-term illness? Patient: No, Doctor. I am very healthy. Never even had a fever. Me: Are you married? Patient: No, unmarried. ​(Unit Rounds - 1 Hour Later) ​Me (to Consultant): Sir, this is a 24-year-old unmarried male, no prior co-morbids, came with a 2-day history of cough. Consultant (looking at the X-ray): This looks like a chronic fibrocavitary lesion. Priyam, you sure there’s no old history of TB? Patient (Interrupting): Actually, Sir, I took 6 months of TB meds back in 2022. My wife is waiting outside with the old CT scans and biopsy reports. Me: 👇

@JoshPateCFB If you were going to list the 100 most influential people in college football history to get us to this point, how many people in that list would be players and coaches vs administrators and judges? Do you see anything wrong with that? From Huntsville, AL GBR 🌽
