@thelb236 The weekend after TC was released, he was filling in for a local diocesan pastor to say the dominican rite. His homily blamed the laity for it. Some people got up and left.

I've never known a traditionalist priest, be they FSSP, ICKSP, SSPX, whatever, to talk like this, at least not publicly. There's a reason they don't have social media accounts. This guy can prattle on about "obedience" the laity owe their pastors, as he does in a later tweet, but if this were my pastor, I would drive as far as possible to get away from his influence on my children.

@Hierony49098392 @CullumSmith Right. This isn't "private prayer" or "study."

@duckslaw @CullumSmith From the USCCB website for approved Bible translations:

@Hierony49098392 @CullumSmith Are you sure? I don't think the DRA is approved by the USCCB.

@duckslaw @CullumSmith Priests around here do it during daily mass. If anything, they do it more at low Mass than high Mass. The DR is approved by the bishop’s conference in the US.

@Hierony49098392 @CullumSmith Not at daily mass and not from an "approved" translation from the bishop's conference.

@CullumSmith Most interpret this to mean that they must be proclaimed in English at some point, and so they do it during the homily.

@lukei4655 Seems very VII to me. "... men cannot discharge [the obligation to seek and adhere to the truth] in a manner in keeping with their own nature unless they enjoy immunity from external coercion as well as psychological freedom."

This precisely demonstrates the problem. At root is a fundamentally schismatic disposition that is contrary to the nature of orthodox Christianity. It’s Enthusiasm pure and simple, that is, Modernism, and more precisely, Americanism.

@mrremoraman @GreeneMan6 That's not fair to Callicles.

@GreeneMan6 I hate to give Trent Horn so much cred, but this literally sounds like Socrates talking to Thrasymachus in the Republic or his arguments with Gorgias. There's no bottom to this. We just go around and around and around because the conclusion is already decided.

I saw this video on my feed and I knew exactly what I was getting. ExTrad: “I was a super devout Catholic, but then I saw facts I couldn’t refute, so now I am a gay atheist.” Trent Horn: “So which core Catholic claims do you think are wrong?” ET: “It wasn’t specific truth claims, it was just the certainty that was required for belief. I can’t have that level of certainty, life is complicated!” TH: “There are lots of moderate progressive churches that allow for agnosticism and doubt. Did you not join them?” ET: “That’s the problem. I am too familiar with the trad arguments against progressive Christianity to ever join them. I take abstract arguments very seriously!” TH: “Well that’s good. Since we are here to talk about sex, have you considered these abstract arguments against consent-only sexual ethics based on edge cases we would agree on?” ET: “No Trent, not really. These arguments are all too abstract. I don’t like abstract arguments, I just care about data. Hard facts. Zoophillia, incest and polygamy don’t happen in real life.” TH: “So what about all of these numbers showing the negative consequences of promiscuity?” ET: “Well we could have a conversation about that. We could, but that would distract from the real conversation about homosexuality.” TH: “Ok well we have data on the negative consequences of homosexuality.” ET: “I don’t see how that’s relevant. Hypothetically gay sex could be safe. We should just focus on getting people to be safe” TH: “Could be stigmatize unsafe sex practices?” ET: “we can’t bully people.” TH: “could we stigmatize racism?” ET: “That’s just accountability, and all the data is on my side!” TH: “Speaking of data to you oppose trans-women in female sports given the data we have on it?” ET: “We have that conversation. We could. But isn’t that kind of a distraction from the larger abstract point about trans dignity?” TH: “Well we also have data that shows transitioning has negative consequences.” ET: “That data is flawed. And all the studies support me.” TH: “Yeah most of your studies have huge sample biases.” ET: “Sure we could talk about that. We could. But that would just distract from The abstract point that people should have rights and dignity”

@CraigOnan Amazing how everyone else is always the problem. “Lord, I thank you that I am not like the Publican…”

@BigDadEnergyX Anything from this company:

What’s a supplement from the 2000s only real gym bros will remember? I’ll start👇

@lukei4655 Wouldn't every grave reason also be a just one? If the reason is just, isn't it tautological that he is excused?

Does a man satisfy his Mass obligation, on a day of precept, if he leaves Mass early for no just or grave reason? I’m inclined to think not.

@Danny_Diskin @doc_gero @JulieCo64621732 Your fellow countrymen and women voted to repeal the 8th amendment.

@doc_gero @JulieCo64621732 Is it truly criminal what is being perpetrated on my nation & my fellow countrymen & women. The Irish government & elites are destroying the very fabric of our once homogeneous & cohesive society

😐One of the saddest casualties of transnational racial marxism / woke tyranny is Ireland - a tiny country of indigenous natives whose ancestors never colonized anyone & who have lived on their lands for thousands of years but are now being asked to give up their ancestral heritage to the third world essentially because they physically resemble the group targeted by elites to be the bottom of their newly-designed racial heirarchy

@RolandGunnTN there's no rood on the beam.

Cities Church is one of the tradest looking Baptist Churches I’ve ever seen. It even appears to have a rood beam.

@LBDuck22 @oregon__updates This isn't the schedule. Washington will be the last game.

@oregon__updates Looks like an easy 10 wins until those last two and those will be the ones

Early look at Oregon’s 2026 opponents:

@aj_simmons02 @LandonTengwall and blocked punt.

@LandonTengwall Pick 6, 2 fumbles in our own territory, awful play calling from Stein all night, just sad. Such a sad sorry performance

Indiana just beat Oregon 56-22 and Oregon out-gained them on Offense

@SmalllIvy @lymanstoneky Ford Transit.

@lymanstoneky Cars are a big deal. Once you get above three, and really above two, you can't drive a standard sedan anymore and fit everyone. Once you get above 5, you're taking two cars everywhere or leaving some at home.

Statistically, having a child tends to cause an upward revision in desired family size, and people who overshoot initial family size see relatively more positive happiness changes in the life course. They don’t birth max, however, because health and life course dynamics are unforgiving no matter how happy you are with your kids.

@LandonTengwall @anthony_civi I don't see an order certifying a class so I'm not sure that's right. Just filing a putative class action doesn't create a class of plaintiffs.

@anthony_civi Nah it still would apply to everyone because it’s a class action lawsuit and not an individual lawsuit

Reminder: A Preliminary Injunction hearing in Patterson v. NCAA, a class-action lawsuit challenging the current Redshirt Rule - is set for Monday, Dec. 15 (tomorrow) If granted, TRUE seniors (played 4 seasons in 4 years) would gain a 5th year of eligibility. On Penn State's roster, expect guys like Drew Allar & Kaytron Allen to be interested observers of this case

@lukei4655 Also, in the US, the availability of student loans makes going to college easier and a default decision, but then in turn makes it harder to enter religious life with debt.

I agree with her, in part. But I honestly think it has more to do more with three simple things: 1. Delayed adolescence 2. Commitment paralysis 3. Comfort culture

@FrHilderbrand "this assessment is strongly maintained, although it does not at present allow for a definitive judgment to be formulated, as is the case with priestly ordination." "At present" at least implies they think they have that power.

@geoffschwartz with his other arm held the entire time

That ball never moved. Have to challenge it.

@JeffDuncan_ Oregon has 41 as well.

Just look at this list... Most FBS wins since 2022: ▪️Georgia: 49 ▪️Ohio State 47 ▪️Michigan 45 ▪️Notre Dame 42 ▪️Tulane 41 ▪️Texas 41 ▪️Alabama 41 ▪️Penn State 39 ▪️Washington 39

@CatholicSmark @M_P_Hazell Have any dispensations for priests ordained after TC been granted? I don't recall anything but permissions being given for a particular parish to continue to be used, but not who is allowed to celebrate.

So in other words.... they're moving TC to hospice care. If a Bishop doesn't want to comply with TC, he's under no obligation to do so, just ask for an exemption and its granted. This is how you slowly kill legislation.
