“First, prayer; then, atonement; in the third place, very much 'in the third place', action.” St. Josemaría Escrivá, The Way, 82.

"There is no such thing as a public personality split in two: on one side the politician, on the other the Christian. No. There is the politician who, under God’s gaze and in conscience, lives his commitments and responsibilities as a Christian." — Pope Leo XIV

Mr. Huff is partially right, but his points include omissions, errors, and mistaken inferences that take the reader in the wrong direction. A Thread:

Me over here just learning that Villanova had a football team

Reading a book and seeing ‘BCE’

Jesus fully expiated them, we just need to be purified… some might say PURGED …of all imperfections before being able to fully accept that gift in heaven

I might as well piss off all the Trads. I believe the NO mass, performed reverently, has the right balance of ritual and community that our religious life is supposed to have.

Pope Leo meets with JD Vance and everyone knows that it is a rebuke. Pope Leo meets with James Martin and everyone knows that it is blanket approval. This blatant inconsistency shows that these people don't actually know what they are talking about and are just making stuff up.

I'm not going to Popesplain. I am determined not to Popesplain. That is a sure path to being burned, tragically. But I do want to point out that a few weeks ago it was announced that Mary Rice Hasson, who is one of the founders and major forces behind the Person and Identity

The first of these is from a know nothing school teacher who pretends to be a Vaticanista. The second is from the real thing who does actually know stuff. So anyone who uncritically boosted the first? You can discount them as not someone who should be taken seriously.

Here’s what’s gonna happen: Leo is gonna continue to be uncontroversial, most people are gonna be happy, trads are gonna be fuming, and any time he does something good it will be “yeah great but it’s NOT ENOUGH” from these ingrates.

Gregory the Great be like

“Holy Scripture presents a kind of mirror to the eyes of the mind, so that our inner face may be seen in it. There we learn our own ugliness, there our own beauty.” —St. Gregory the Great

I didn’t know there was an actor named Graham Greene, so you can imagine my surprise to learn that one of my favorite authors died.

The prophecy first put forth by Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century continues apace

which is one important reason why Pope Francis called for worldwide ban on the practice

I honestly marvel at posts like these, which are not remotely reflective of my experience as a young person in America. Really makes you wonder if at this point, endless complaining about an obscure and self-inflicted grievance is a kind of luxury item or a status symbol.

Sounds like a good way to get hemorrhoids
