Seminarian, @CatholicCincy. Domine, non sum dignus. All opinions my own, not necessarily the views of the archdiocese.

@lukei4655 Fr. Ezra Sullivan's Habits and Holiness is probably something along those lines. I haven't read it (read a shorter, more popular book, I'm assuming it's an abridgement), but I think this gets at what you're talking about.

I think that a great contribution to the work of Catholic Moral Theology would be if we had a theologian who was capable of fully incorporating modern neuroscience into the Thomistic moral system. I apply some of it to counseling, but I want a rigorous systemic work.

@SoccerPrime @BOBMILLAHHH @tombogert That's the strategy in Cincinnati the last 3 years, yes. You've not seen Luca Orellano attempt defending, have you? This is why we have 5 TAM level CB's on the roster

🟠🔵 What an unbelievable deadline day for FC Cincinnati. Late deal for Brenner is done and if Dominik Marczuk goes thru (as expected), it adds to what was already one of MLS's best teams. Club tied for Shield lead and among favorites for MLS Cup. New look depth chart.

And it's only fair, given the timeline for Messi pulling out of the All-Star game, we will let them know which match no less than 48 hours before kickoff.

It seems clear the @MLS will not be enforcing their rules, but will allow Messi to play this weekend, I have a proposal for @thesoccerdon: in exchange, you should let @fccincinnati make the choice of which other remaining game he and Jordi Alba will serve their suspension.
Kamran Nia@kamran_nia

FC Cincinnati coach Pat Noonan said he hasn't received clarity from MLS on Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba's status for the match this weekend. "I don't necessarily know that we need clarity. There's rules. I'm aware of those. "We're under the impression that we'll prepare for the game without those two available."

@FrHarrison I got one off Amazon, very disappointed with it. Our seminary has a really nice, much more expensive one in the library, and I use that. You're in a university town, right? I'd see if somehow they might let you use one if they have it.

@FrHarrison In my experience, you get what you pay for in this regard.

am I crazy for thinking about dropping 350$ CAD on a book scanner? it is pricey…but could be helpful for translation and large texts of Ratzinger’s

@HoneyTongueMuse @lukei4655 I think though, more seriously, that people miss the community, maybe they miss the intellectual aspect. I doubt many miss the grind of coursework or the obligations of seminary.

It would be a good idea to create a coefficient that incorporates total population and total Catholic population. Some of what we are seeing here is more a factor of one or both of these than anything else.

Curious that OKC's archbishop, Archbishop Coakley, was part of that same KU integrated humanities program as Bishop Conley back in the day. Church really needs to find out more about what was taught at that program.

@GregoryCaridi @OVTweetmarck I think it's the 1-3 color, not the zero color. Looks to be the same color as my archdiocese, which ordained 2 last month.

@plungeeboi @jdflynn Saw that, here's the thing. Assuming that the Pope wrote (or said this in a speech) it still shows that his experience of fandom is one of pain and suffering. We know he likes Villanova basketball and ChiSox baseball, and only one of those would inspire that statement.

The Pope-Leo-loves-the-White-Sox meme seems vastly overstated out of a desire to humanize and familiarize the pope. We know that he went to one WS game and the brother says he was a fan of the hometown team growing up. People have spun that into 3/4s of the pope’s personality.

If you wondered if anything about @fccincinnati was going to change after the break — the answer was “No.” This was Noonanball to a T. When it works, it delivers points. Tonight it worked.
