Wouldn’t it be great if instead of the dreadful unnecessary Bill they were debating a bill to ensure everyone was entitled to great care at the end of life in their own bed if that’s what they chose?
@docsuzy At that point if “they” decide the individual is not capable of making their own choices, MAID can be chosen “in their best interest“. Needless to say we declined as did our relative. But you can see how easy it would be for the state to abuse. (2/2)
@docsuzy Another sinister side to the Canadian situation: visiting an elderly relative 2 yrs ago they tried to get us to convince her to sign her power of attorney to a state ‘agent’ - whom they claimed was “independent“. 1/2
@BruvverEccles Quite continental though - English campanologists generally stick to the mathematical wonders of change ringing. This is pretty, possibly more approachable for many.
Wherever you stand on the SSPX consecrations, we have to ask: why does the Vatican allow the Chinese Communist Party to choose bishops who are state spies and not Christians at all?
🚨Haha! 😂😂 --
Toronto man gives a "taxpayer's acknowledgement"
immediately after a woke Toronto councilor gives a "Land acknowledgement"
"lets reflect and remember that EVERY salary and lightbulb in this chamber is funded by us" 😂😂
Give him the ORDER OF CANADA!
@CCFather@BruvverEccles Annoyingly new PP is v pro CAFOD. Has replaced Mary’s Meals and ACN fast days we had prev. – and this week he’s having CAFOD speakers at Sunday masses. 🤦🏻♀️ Obvs won’t be there. Husband’s charitable interpretation is that bishop is putting pressure on PP, but I’m not convinced.
@nickdixon I would have asked her when her daughter last went to church and how many children she has. She can’t complain if she’s part of the problem.
If the daughter genuinely cared about conserving Christian culture, she’d go back to Poland, marry a devout Pole and have 10 children.
If you aren't Catholic then you don't believe that this Pope was elected through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, so you'll troll through his twitter feed and analyze his selection through a modern political lens, as if he was just elected to a seat in the US senate rather than the Chair of Saint Peter.
If you are a believing Catholic then you do (or should) believe that his election is ordained by God. You view it through the lens of 2,000 years of Church history and the eternal will of the Almighty God. From that perspective, playing the gotcha game with old tweets is silly and bizarre.
This is why any conversation about the Pope on this site is destined to be disjointed, confused, and ultimately useless.
Deus, ómnium fidélium pastor et rector, fámulum tuum Leonem, quem pastórem Ecclésiæ tuæ præésse voluísti, propítious réspice: da ei, quǽsumus, verbo et exémplo, quibus præest, profícere; ut ad vitam, una cum grege sibi crédito, pervéniat sempitérnam. Per Christum Dominum.
O God the Pastor and Ruler of all the faithful, look favourably on thy servant Leo whom Thou hast been pleased to appoint as shepherd of Thy Church: grant to him, we beseech Thee, that by word and example he may edify those over whom he is placed, so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may attain unto life everlasting. Through Christ our lord.
