To the Catholics in the replies: yeah, we don't ordain women. Everyone knows this. Yet you chose to be cruel, to actively mock this woman. It's frankly embarassing. Get a life.
I offer my congratulations to this woman who is dedicating her life in service to God.

I spent 3 hours today calling parishioners to tell them I miss them and I'm praying for them. I only got through 80 of them. I guess I know what I'm doing the rest of the week.

"I'll show those Catholics!"
<draws a butt on forehead>
This is the actual dumbest subversive action ever taken by students in the history of universities.
Y'all have butts on your foreheads. It doesn't matter the point you're trying to make. You have butts on your foreheads.
DISGRACE! Students at Georgetown - a Catholic University - have an “A** Wednesday” table on campus with a butt drawn on their foreheads
It’s disturbing that these students would mock the sacred tradition of Ash Wednesday - a day of profound significance around the world

There are three distinct parts of Catholic Twitter:
1. Rad trads who are impossible to talk to.
2. Common folk with reasonable differences of opinion but a shared communion of belief and goodwill.
3. Progressive Catholics who are impossible to talk to.
Be in the second group.

Neither the Bible nor Church teaching are the reason I'm against abortion.
It's because the moment at which the actual change from not-human being (2 haploid cells) to human being (1 diploid cell) is the moment of fertilization. Everything else is growth and development.

Abortion is a tool of the patriarchy.
I’ll die on this hill.
Rather than rendering women as distanced from pregnancy as men get to be, we need to be holding men responsible for their actions (manipulation, abuse, coercion, rape).

If you are Christian clergy and you don’t believe Jesus actually rose from the dead, you are essentially a grifter.
The People of God need leaders who believe. If you don’t, nobody’s forcing you to stay.

An icon portraying George Floyd as Jesus would be wrong, but that’s not what this this. This icon portrays Jesus as George Floyd, which is basically Matthew 25. Yeah, it takes artistic license, but it’s not sacrilege at all.
The Catholic Church is burning. And everyday, liberal Catholics continue to throw matches on Her with sacrilegious nonsense like this. I’m done watching liberation theology take hold once again. It’s time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Laity, it’s time to stand up.

Today I explained to the kids that 'monstrance' has nothing to do with monsters by telling them it comes from a Latin word meaning "to show." Then I went a step further: "Here's another word from that root," and wrote out 'demonstrate.'

Don’t wait till someone is days/hours away from death to call a priest. It’s better if we can, you know, talk with them, pray with them, hear their confession, let them participate in last rites, renew their baptismal promises, etc. Call the priest at diagnosis, or even sooner.

This discourse again?
Altar girls do not stifle priestly vocations.
It’s not female altar servers who run boys away. It’s lazy liturgy and low expectations. Give the boys (and the girls) something they can be proud to be a part of, and the Holy Spirit will do his thing.

People who prefer the Novus Ordo Missae, just don’t comment today. Life for you is not changing at all.
Meanwhile, many of your fellow Catholics are being required (not asked) to change how they pray. That’s hard, even if you think it’s the right call.

The failure of the Church to bring abusive clergy to justice has wounded the witness of the celibate lifestyle in the eyes of Christian and non-Christian alike.
Fewer and fewer people look at a celibate priest and say, "wow, what a sacrifice." Rather, it's cause for suspicion.

Part of the witness of celibacy is real world proof that no, you don't *have* to have sex.

Not having sex is not the end of the world, people.

I am tired of the damnable lie that during this pandemic the priests of Jesus Christ have cared nothing for the souls of the sick and dying. Sit down and listen...
Disgusting. If only he'd cared about all of the souls that died without Last Rites during lock downs. If only he'd been vocal and demanded entrance to rest homes and hospitals for the purpose of saving souls.

You may be dissatisfied with our bishops, but that doesn’t mean lay theologians are capable of safeguarding the deposit of faith.
Apostolic succession and communion with Rome are essential to the Magisterium.

Lol no, you don't get to appeal to being Catholic for a religious exemption. The Church has made it clear that the covid vaccines are morally permissible.
