[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

Vatican excommunicated 6 SSPX bishops. Going above and beyond, Vatican excommunicated SSPX members writ large and invalidated sacramental reception. A very CLEAR message

@GrantAKaplan Congar is such a boss

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

@austeni Proud to be a theologian in this diocese. Bishop patrick is an example of what a pastor is and what pastoral care means.

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

Looking forward to this Papal teaching thats dropping. 'Delexit Te' seems like an obvious shout out to Pope Francis and his final encyclical 'Delixit nos'

[Austen Ivereigh @austeni]

Pope Leo this morning signed his first teaching doc, Dilexit Te, which will be released on Thursday morning. Reports are that first draft was prepared by Francis, on the theme of the poor.

Gathering with other theologians and staff @CollegevilleMN in celebratory anticipation for the new pope! #popewatch #habemuspapam

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

Habemus papem! White smoke! #popewatch

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

Pope Francis' loss while expected is still saddening. Francis taught through metaphor, action, & symbol so ordinary folks could grasp the social demands of the Gospel. His thinking has informed my work as a theologian and minister. Praying for him & the Church. #ComeHolySpirit

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

A good, accessible piece on the relationship between culture and liturgy

[NCR @NCRonline]

Frustrated with the reserved nature of mainstream Masses in the U.S. Catholic Church, I want a worship experience that doesn't force me to suppress my Black and African way of relating to the Creator. https://t.co/am9GwCvfOR

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

This is great but we need to move it even earlier to precede 1st communion #sourceandsummit

[America Magazine @americamag]

In lowering the standard age for confirmation, the Archbishop of Baltimore hopes to provide children with the opportunity to deepen their faith at a formative stage in their spiritual journey.

@GrantAKaplan So true

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

My piece on evangelical interculturality in the U.S. context just came out. Check it out:

You know you are a #theologynerd when you make plans to read @Pontifex's new encyclical on release day. The encyclical is on the sacred heart of Jesus and coming out this Thursday

Passed by a sign for an undergrad admissions event on campus today. Impressed by the nod to Catholic identity and Benedtine heritage @CSBSJU. Well Done.

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

Maybe a nerd thing to say, but when an argument comes together in a writing project, it feels like getting a green check mark when one solved and submitted an engineering problem correctly for online homework

[Dr. Deepan Rajaratnam @DeepTheology]

Taught my first graduate class today! Made me even more excited for the rest of the semester
