can't help but feel like this is the equivalent of trying to explain why you spat in your date's food with "sorry, force of habit, I'm a food safety inspector"

So what you're saying is, poor people will use the $600 for things they actually need (or, at worst, want), while the rich will only use it to widen the already obscene gap between themselves and the poor?

About three years ago, one of my nephews walked up to me and said "You know what happens when you die? Well it's just like burping!" and has not elaborated at any point since

most of our so-called friends nowadays wouldn't build us a golden gundam to house our remains because it "wouldn't be normal." who loses in this scenario, pray tell
(1/12) Hey fellow Catholics. I somehow hadn't noticed this before, but apparently, we are once again throwing a "mock the women who've just been ordained in the Anglican Communion" party.
This is not only a shitty way to behave, it's downright *embarrassing.* 🧵

Looking at the face of the first guy in the video, no way in hell did he not show up without a mask specifically hoping to get manhandled by a huge shirtless wrestler.

My mom tells the story of the time she and my then 4yo sister were walking home, and passed a robust woman bent over garden or something, and my sister said loudly: "Wow, that lady has a big" [mom: NO NO NO] "yard!"
Literally every formerly homeschooled adult I know is both (a) deeply wounded by their parents and not at all sure homeschooling was a good choice, and (b) extremely smart, interesting, mature, and emotionally intelligent. This gets more paradoxical the more I think about it.
The Seven Great Councils: A Cheat Sheet
Nicæa I: Jesus is God; that's, like, the point
Constantinople I: The Holy Ghost is God too, quit trying to jazzercise your way out of the Trinity
To those who evidently need to be told this in the year of Our Lord 2022—yes, it is racist to oppose interracial marriage. Transparently racist. Extremely racist.
@BishopBarron
Your Excellency, this is a horribly frivolous way to express a totally unnecessary reaction. I find the Sisters tasteless, even a bit obnoxious, but their mockery of religious persons and institutions doesn't in itself make them any more anti-Catholic than, say, Geoffrey Chaucer
Jesus literally never teaches one single person to fish in the New Testament. What he does do several times is (1) grant fishermen miraculously huge hauls of fish that they did nothing to earn, and (2) miraculously multiply food, including fish, for people with nothing to eat.
Just found out another friend is leaving the Catholic Church because they cannot stand the incessant homophobic harassment from fellow Catholics any more.
Wanna "speak the truth in love"? We've heard it, thanks. We have little reason to think your love is worth having.

Who is "they"? Who is "us"? Which "traditional values"? Don't complain about people misunderstanding you when you're being vague as hell.

Excuse you, governor: YOU stand with them. You don't get to decide what any other Marylander thinks, and you sure as hell don't get to make us complicit in acknowledging the rights and tragedies of one side while spreading horrific lies about the other.

I grew up ardently Reformed, and wanted to evangelize Catholics. To do that, I figured I should learn what Catholics believed, so I bought a copy of the Catechism and started to read it.
I've been a Catholic for a little over fourteen years now.

it's like a doctor telling you that you have cancer, but it's only stage one and highly treatable, and then the doctor attacks you with a meat slicer
Hey, Christian Twitter, please say a prayer for me (and if any of my Catholic priest mufos have Mass intentions to spare, that'd be extra great). I'm going to be having a very challenging conversation with my parents tomorrow afternoon and have no idea how it's going to go.

We lived in Scotland for a while, and my mom used to say she liked the Grampians and the Appalachians because they both seemed like they were worn down with age. Found out twenty years later that they literally are, and worn down with the same age because they're one range!
I dearly wish Christians in/from this country would quit spouting stuff about "God's covenant with America," because—and this next clause is very complicated, so please read carefully—THERE ISN'T ONE.
If you have a problem with a nun wearing her habit to a protest because it's "political" then you better not be bringing rosaries and crucifixes to the March for Life. This has been a subtweet.
If you're a Catholic and you *don't* agree with this, it's possible you shouldn't be receiving the Eucharist, since (intentionally or not) you dissent from Catholic teaching. Talk to your pastor or confessor if you're having trouble accepting the Church's moral authority.
Okay, we're doing a gay Catholic thread. Here's the tea. Once you read this, you are a fully certified expert in Gay Shit and have no need to listen to anyone or anything else ever again.

I've said before and will say again that if modern New Testament critical methods were applied to recent authors, they'd all turn out to be six or seven different people.
You guys, I just realized a huge plot hole in the Harry Potter series: Snape literally couldn't have killed Dumbledore because magic spells aren't real
I wish I could invite my LGBTQ friends to Mass without worrying about what might be in the homily, or what other parishioners might say to them, or say in their hearing. I wish my experience of my faith right now was so beautiful that I could get past caring about those things.
I'm continually surprised by the number of professing Christians who not only don't seem to grasp this, but indignantly reject it. "Love your enemies" comes straight from the Sermon on the Mount. This is Christianity 101.

Just heard the line "Sweetheart, your vagina needs glasses, he is not worth it" and nearly did a spit-take right onto my laptop
Bringing my gay little bag into Mass for the first time is more bravery than I wanted to practice for Pride (i.e., a drop, rather than none at all), but at least I can quite truthfully say it's a pro-life symbol—not due to "but Noah etc," but because that's what it means.
To the Latin Mass gentlemen: a gentleman does not make a habit, or for that matter an occasion, of correcting ladies (generally or in particular). He also knows that there is nothing either impious or indecent about ladies' hats, though he hardly sees it as his business anyway.
Gay men have accepted we find X attractive but just won't ever sleep with him from time immemorial; meanwhile straight pastors say things like "It's a sin to be friendly with any woman but your wife, up to and including your own mother," and then call *us* uncontrollable pervs.

This is absolutely not what the Church exists to do, and it's simultaneously offensive and hilarious that an avowed non-Christian feels entitled to pontificate on the Church's purpose in the first place.
@LT_MCQ
The only solution that springs to mu mind—which I think is practical in itself, but may conceivably run afoul of some ill-designed collegiate policy—is to require assignments of this nature to be written out longhand (if necessary, in the classroom).
I venerate St Augustine, but the absolute effing brainworms *one point* of his theology has inflicted on Christendom are sickening to behold. God's love looks for the flimsiest pretexts to dispense torrents of mercy, and so many Christians act like he craves any pretext to damn.
Do unbaptized babies go to hell? St John Chrysostom says they are innocent and God receives them as such.
Quoting the Wisdom of Sirach, ‘‘The souls of the just are in the hands of God’ and so also are the souls of children for they also are not wicked.’
Just saw a Catholic express skepticism that a saint struggled with masturbation not because the claim was poorly sourced, but because the saint was holy and learned.
That is ... not how sanctity works.
Sanctity means loving God enough to continually repent, not never sinning.

Also, considering that *Sauron is a giant eye at the top of a tower,* it would save the Eagles a lot of time and inconvenience to just gift-wrap the Ring and address it: Attn: Dark Lord, Barad-dur, Mordor, 66666
I'm not ready to embrace dogmatic universalism for philosophical reasons, but universalists are one million percent correct that any whiff of *wanting* people to go to hell is shockingly creepy and the seeming relish with which even some saints discussed damnation is revolting
Ephesus: Mary is the Mother of God—don't make us tap the sign
Chalcedon: Jesus is one person with two natures (human and divine)—now pipe down

Constantinople III: Quit rules lawyering the natures or so help me,
1. The Gospels *were* written after Paul's letters (or at least that's the overwhelming academic consensus).
2. The idea that they were written to rebut, undermine, or embarrass Paul in some way is, to put it kindly, *not* the academic consensus. If they had been, one might have
The Gospels were written after Paul’s letters. They were designed to “disagree with Paul,” specifically the Pauline community practices, and replace them with new practices “in the name of Jesus.” Later, a character of “Paul” is written in the Acts that “agrees” with the changes.

@FrMatthewLC
appreciation tweet. He's gotten a lot of nastiness from anti-vax/anti-mask Catholics & sedes; he's consistently upheld and very patiently and correctly explained the Church's stance on these things for months on end, and I have yet to see him lose his cool.
So here's the thing, fellow papists who have the luck (whether good or bad, I frankly don't know) of being straight. Here is the absolute, knock-down, drag-out, million-dollar thing.

😳 I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL NOW THAT PEOPLE SAID SOMETHING ELSE BUT I KNEW NURSERY RHYMES WERE 85% AWFUL HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS COMING
(5/12) but those of you mocking these ordinations evidently don't care about that, or you wouldn't be publicly sneering at their faithful for wanting to serve our God. The roots of schism are contempt, pride, and hatred, and it doesn't seem like you want *those* going anywhere.
Gonna be writing an email to my pastor, asking that we remove the plaque to Robert E. Lee (he attended the parish in the late 1840s) in the narthex, which was given to us by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Please pray that he listens.
(12/12) like you're perfectly happy to demean or rage at something that doesn't affect you anyway, because you find it icky. That's how a *toddler* behaves. It does not honor Christ any more than it honors his Bride. Grow up.

*A penalty,* to help you remember not to do that in future—okay, I get that; I'd consider anything more severe than "a mild talking-to" overkill, but you know, regional standards of behavior are a thing ...
But three months' suspension for a 5yo!? That they ain't, no way no how!
