@PopishGuard @jeff_of_norwich Tbf, though, they should busy themselves with the confessions even if it means they let other less important things slide if need be.

@jeff_of_norwich Obviously agree but to be fair mate a lot of these parishes are double busy during the Triduum and if they’ve only got one priest or whatever I can’t imagine it’s easy to fit Confessions in.

Hate to be that guy, but I really don't like it that many parishes (including my local) don't offer confession during the Easter Triduum, when most parishes do, and it's probably one of the most likely times someone would want to sort out their relationship with God

@PopArtAve @mamboitaliano__ Recommend. Italy and its neighbouring countries, Switzerland and Austria probably have among the most beautiful places and sights on Earth, and so much to see in a relatively small area.

@T8Jake @mamboitaliano__ Thank you. Would love to visit there but haven’t yet. As an Italian American if I visited I may stay there for good

Just out of curiosity, how much are you guys paying for fuel these days? Here in Italy 🇮🇹, diesel is around €2.12 per liter (off the highway), and petrol is about €1.78 per liter That’s roughly $8.66 per gallon for diesel and $7.28 for regular. Happy Hormuz, everybody! 🛢️🥂

@factpostnews Because pretty book covers made with stock photos apparently have to be super duper accurate.

JD Vance's upcoming book on his conversion to Catholicism uses a Methodist church on the cover.

@triiadxx New car vs old car with ten previous owners If you're making a long term investment, the latter is a recipe for a car crash.

virginity is just another standard for women rooted in pedophilia

@MyWatchIsLost @yamanakanobody A bit out of date. South Africa is rapidly going third. Eastern Europe is gradually going first.

@yamanakanobody Here is a map of the first, second, and third world. You will notice a pattern based on the economic and cultural standards of most regions. Purple is First World. Red is second world. Green is third world.

ごめん、よく皆が言う「第三世界」って何？

@OrthodoxOrigen Yes, that was an understatement. I'd agree about TM. Though not always my cup of tea, not been bothered by Fradd or Hahn.

@T8Jake TM is a hard yes, the other two are maybes imo, Hahn less so than Fradd.

Do you think people like Taylor Marshall, Matt Fradd, and to a lesser extent Scott Hahn have harmed the reputation of American Catholicism? Synthesizing culture wars rhetoric, Republican politics, and evangelical social norms with Catholic ritual.

@SubRosaMagick Of course. The only ones I don't use are: Cattywampus Lollygag Skedaddle Flibbertigibbet

Be honest… does ANYONE actually use these words in real life? 🤣 Bamboozled Flabbergasted Discombobulated Shenanigans Cattywampus Lollygag Malarkey Kerfuffle Brouhaha Nincompoop Skedaddle Tomfoolery Flibbertigibbet Pumpernickel

@itsnotover1611 @LutheranPrince Lutherans slaughtered millions of Catholics too, though often religion is just a cover for plain old human bloodlust and greed, so we shouldn't take it personally. There's room for jokes at each others' expense and general disagreement without unnecessary hostility.

@LutheranPrince Just go become a papist already. The Roman’s slaughtered millions of Lutherans. You’re like 23 and you dream of being EO but thankfully your conscience holds you back. Quit attacking brethren.

How obsessed does one have to be to actually buy this doormat. If Baptists were as obsessed with Jesus as they are with Catholics they would maybe step down from their heretical views on the sacraments.

@FernMaier1549 @Rainmaker1973 Good. It makes up a large proportion of a meal, so it's important to make sure it suits your taste.

@T8Jake @Rainmaker1973 I like pasta a lot, so I care about the quality.

The Italian guide to buying pasta

@FernMaier1549 @Rainmaker1973 Sure, there is higher quality and lower quality, but ultimately, it's wet flour pressed into shapes.

@T8Jake @Rainmaker1973 Good quality dry pasta (made from durum wheat semolina) is typically a pale, creamy, or light ivory/yellowish color, not a bright or deep yellow.

@gdg69 @Rainmaker1973 Ah, yes, it's harvested from the spaghetti tree. youtu.be/tVo_wkxH9dU?is…

@T8Jake @Rainmaker1973 Pasta is not made from flour.

@LibOrNormal He should upgrade to Mr Garrison's It bike.

@EnergyUp_ It's telling you the clock is ticking and your time is gradually running out.

If hair starts growing on your ears, your body is probably trying to tell you something.

@OrthodoxChrist2 Me, I'm going non-denom. We thank you for saving OC from working for his salvation. We thank you for the ambient temperature. We thank you also for food in general. And we thank you for tea and biscuits and grape juice, for you are the Lord and the king of the juice. Aymen.

I’m announcing today that I am officially 1689 Reformed. Babies are evil depraved vipers, Mary is only the mother of Christ’s humanity, and God despises His creation except for a select few. I am also going to start using “Popery” and “Romanist” in my every day vocabulary.

@gonefishin1948 I'm Catholic, so we're less into the either/or and more into the both/and. And just think of all the indulgences I could purchase. Plus, I'd save 1 lb to have something bribe St Peter with at the pearly gates.

Would you rather have 10 lbs of gold or the Love of God?

@MrMcflanigen @poperespecter1 Rather, Cat-holics are primarily addicted to felines, which says nothing about their other preferences, religious or otherwise.

@T8Jake @poperespecter1 Both deny Christ but close

The Bishop of Rome is living rent free though.

@MrMcflanigen @poperespecter1 One spends their Sundays kneeling before a litter tray; the other spends Saturdays actively avoiding the hoover.

@poperespecter1 What’s the difference between a Cat-holic and a Jew?
