Catholic, Web guy, family man. Opinions more likely to be my own that anyone else's.

@SqSehrish Twaddle.

@judeokeyvlogs @CathoBroski In England and Wales we returned to the traditional practice (every Friday unless overridden by a Solemnity) in 2011.

@FreyaQueeni At least 11, possibly more.
There may be only one sister, but the phrasing remains accurate if there is more than one. "The family" may include mother, grandparents etc living as a single unit.
If you want a precise answer, ask a precise question: this one is vague.

@AprilMaxineT @realMaalouf ...which would also ban Catholicism, (and many other religions). Eg: If you leave Catholicism you can no longer receive the sacraments, which would be 'punishing in any way'. Is that your intention?

@De_gr8t001 @Simply_Tessy A response also used in Anglican and Lutheran churches!

@Neccccy @JohnCleese Using faked AI images to push hatred disgusts me a great deal. Doing it under an English flag is just foul. Get back to whatever pit you came from

[David Aldred @DAldred]

@pureMetatron It still is. But what most of the world (and Church teaching) means by 'communism' isn't what the American right means by the term.

@FrDavidPalmer @ALucieSmith @DictatorPope In both those cases the Anglican Diocese was formed *after* the Catholic one - so the Catholic Diocese did not use the name of an (existing) Anglican one.

@theAliceRoberts Because we value a human family at the head of our country, not just a flag or a piece of paper. And the sort of people who stand for election to that sort of post are too often, um, troublesome. President Thatcher? President Blair? President Farage? All only too likely!

@Davis_Carlton84 @FrMatkin @anglochog You are indeed mistaken. There are two books: Divine Worship: The Missal, and Divine Worship: Daily Office. The Daily Office has separate Commonwealth and North American versions.

[David Aldred @DAldred]

@AngelaTilby So, a bit of clarity. Your ministry and orders may be recognised; the orders of the Anglican church, and the authority to minister within that Church.

But they are neither orders not priesthood *as those terms are understood by Catholicism*.

@jjibber717 @ProfLAppleby Not elected - and therefore thinking of long-term impacts and the good of society decades ahead, rather than the next two or three years. There are real advantages to a system which allows that, with suitable balances of course.

@SSBullivant I have an Oxford Book of Carols, published in 1928. It traces the history of carols, starting broadly in the 15th century, and allied to popular religious forms like the Mystery Plays, covering all times of the Christian year; popular, joyful songs and hymns. A venerable usage.

@ImtiazMadmood @davidvance He will be in Church at Easter.

He doesn't attend a Muslim place of worship on Muslim festivals.

A polite message is not really comparable to actual visible participation.

@26elizabeth266 @CF_Farrow No. But married men may, in some cases, become Catholic priests

@PseudoMnemonic @DaniaStrong @GenevieveBayer @johnnymaga America is in breach of articles 1, 2 and 4 of the NATO treaties, by threatening Danish sovereignty in Greenland. America currently is very definitely not NATO; America is acting against NATO.

[David Aldred @DAldred]

@scott3021747688 @MaxtheCrowhouse @benonwine Because Christ taught us to love and to forgive even our enemies, as any Christian knows.

[David Aldred @DAldred]

@emilnord87 @RasmusJarlov Making a threat against the sovereignty of a NATO member is also contrary to NATO obligations, in the Treaty itself. So the USA places itself in breach of the treaty by its claims to Greenland - and is arguably ineligible to invoke Article 5 at present as a result.

@Matt_Pinner 2. But only 1 if 'Walkman' isn't intended to be specifically the Sony product.

[David Aldred @DAldred]

@otokyo Literally true, in the modern unimaginative sense of a public inquiry report? No. Literally true in the more accurate sense of communicating truth in a literary way as intended by its author, yes. Now start thinking about what that truth might be. That's the traditional way.
