@FrHilderbrand In many instances, nominally Catholic schools will be more harmful to the faithful because they will instill a false notion of the faith that is incredibly difficult to uproot.

As a parish priest, I've personally met dozens of people who have told me they converted or came back to the faith through Bishop Barron's work. I have yet to meet anyone who told me that the National Catholic Reporter led them to the faith.

Bishop Barron keeps attacking Pope Francis' allies. Why? Hint: Barron is more complicit in the culture than he lets on.

@favourite_uncle In his ascetical struggle, the stylite monk monkios did not permit a banana to touch his lips for forty years.

A large number of stories of saints began with "they grew up in a poor family." The greatest opportunities for virtue come in laying down your life for someone else, even when it comes to what are thought of as little things such as buying whatever snacks you want.

A great piece by @maggiemphillips in @tabletmag that is well worth your time. She does a great job capturing the unique spirit of Orthodox Christianity in these villages that is difficult to describe. It's just different there, but in a good way!

I have spent time with many people on their death bed. They will often share their regrets and what they are most proud of. I never heard them say they wish they had fewer children. I also never heard them say they wish they invested more in their career.

Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point.

@HarrisonGarlic1 I just use a loose leaf tea steeper and order online at a place like @inpursuitoftea . Depending on how much you want to fiddle, you could also get an electric tea kettle that heats the tea to the right temperature depending on the leaf type.

If this isn’t the state minimum price for candy cigs, I don’t know what is. None of that $2 Jersey shore price gouging.

@HarrisonGarlic1 @byzkanonist I recommend the version from Holy Transfiguration Monastery. It's a quasi-liturgical book for us, so they do an exceptional job with the translation, binding, and format. They also include useful scriptural references.

This is very concerning. Any communications professional should take note which media outlets are willing to protect sources and which are not. Sources often speak with the media under the promise of protecting them as sources.

It turns out that the FBI's anti-Catholic actions are worse than originally reported. This directly undermines the original FBI narrative that this was a one-off rogue analyst. It appears to be a coordinated effort to weaponize law enforcement against religious believers.

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday claimed to have uncovered evidence of “multiple” field offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation coordinating an investigation into traditionalist Catholics earlier this year.

This mindset also leads to resenting kids when people have them. Children can sense from their parents when they are unwanted. They naturally offer their parents unconditional love and often the popular response is to respond to that love with all the inconveniences they bring.

@FrChaseg00dman You need marble dust to make an ancient Byzantine super glue used to consecrate altars. One of the key ingredients is marble dust. You can imagine the problems this can create.
