@mark_slapinski Stuff like this keeps up I’m going to lose interest in X as a Breaking News source.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly going PSYCHOTIC, lashing out at aides and everyone around him. He knows something BIG is coming.

@usuallypregnant We didn’t wait too long, so no. If anything we got some mush about delaying kids and “getting to know each other”. None of our friends followed that advice, and they’re all still married. 25 years and counting.

Did your parents ever ask you if/when they could expect grandchildren?

@DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier And many Popes and Bishops were decadent throughout history. Yet their office remains, and our doctrine perseveres. I believe Amoris Lætitia will be one of those near misses once the dust has settled.

@DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier Of course. We would agree “Indefectibility” is different than “Perfect clarity” when it comes to proclaiming doctrine.

How many Catholics who go to the modern Mass are aware that the absolution has been removed?

@StochasticUltra @DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier Who said he was a hero? And his exile to Tehran can’t be used to tar every action Bugnini ever made. That’s intellectual dishonesty.

@Catholic_Ham @DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier Right. Bugnini was a hero. That's why P6 sent him to Tehran

@PaulinusOfTrier Same goes the other way. People don’t start falling away from the faith just because of the New Mass. A change in ritual does not force a change in the faith itself. Ppl still need to be taught the faith.

@Catholic_Ham Yeah right, people started rushing to confession thanks to the new Mass.

@StochasticUltra @PaulinusOfTrier I guess everyone didn’t have your particular English missal around the world.

@Catholic_Ham @PaulinusOfTrier Says right in my missal that it absolves venial sins

@Miss_Oggy_Noir @lv715 @HalfwayPost Pretty thin argument when that canon is extremely vague and Carrie’s with it many stipulations for deployment of the penalty of excommunication .

@Catholic_Ham @lv715 @HalfwayPost Canon 1399

BREAKING: The Vatican crowd at St. Peter's Square reportedly chanted, "Excommunicate Vance!" for 25 minutes this morning.

@megbasham The Trump issue aside, it would be interesting to hear your journey to stop taking birth control. My wife and I never used it either.

I have never felt a single bit of animus toward Catholics in my life. In fact, most of the time, I have felt really grateful for y’all because, doctrinally, you have held the line on the most important political issues to me, like abortion and marriage, better than many Protestant denominations. Within this first six months of getting married, I quit taking birth control because of literature a Catholic friend gave me, even though I was a Protestant. But I am telling you all, you don’t realize how the Pope’s actions and the Vatican actions more broadly are being read by Protestants. When it’s a matter of abortion, it’s generic statements directed at no one in particular. When it’s foreign policy, it’s extremely pointed and aimed directly at the United States and specifically Trump.

@Miss_Oggy_Noir @lv715 @HalfwayPost And what about those Catholics that formally cooperate in the grave moral evil of procuring an abortion? Something Canon Law explicitly states is grounds for excommunication (can. 1398)?

@Catholic_Ham @lv715 @HalfwayPost He could be tried for formal cooperation in grave moral evil under just war doctrine. Pope Leo has already declared the war unjust.

@Miss_Oggy_Noir @lv715 @HalfwayPost Proof?

@Catholic_Ham @lv715 @HalfwayPost Nope

@DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier I’ve seen corruption in the Church. It’s ugly, and I’m not some naive child. But we have had far worse. And God continues to guard our Church against the Gates of Hell both in her divine worship and doctrine.

Yeah, you and I would have friction. I was where you are about 30 years ago. Since then I've worked at the diocesan management level in the US and had to face the sexual and financial corruption which is widespread. I don't feel the same way about legitimate Church authority.

@gonsanchezrey1 He’s not.

Cómo es eso de que Donald Trump está amenazando a nuestro Papa?

@BackwardsFeet Now that there’s funny

You know it's a rectory when the doormat is for Christmas and it's the Octave of Easter

@Genevieveadaa That’s a clever one.

I’m very good with riddles. Ask me a riddle.

@Miss_Oggy_Noir @lv715 @HalfwayPost I mean, it’s expected that a CANONICAL penalty will conform to the norms of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, regardless of who issues it.

@Catholic_Ham @lv715 @HalfwayPost He's an absolute monarch he can excommunicate whoever he wants.

@thepipecabin I have one like this. Nice big bowl for a long smoke. Only problem is you have to grab churchwarden pipe cleaners.
