For the most part I don’t mind Kwik Star coming to Iowa, but when I saw them advertising “Glazers” this morning it made me feel like I’m being colonized.

Just saw Nolan’s “The Odyssey”, and I believe this more than ever. ⤵️

It was a pleasure to welcome the Minnesota team of Biking for Babies missionaries to Saint Francis of Assisi. Please consider donating to their worthy cause: pregnancy resource centers throughout America. https://t.co/YX6IcqsgrJ

One week ago I was ordained a deacon by the grace of God and the imposition of the hands of my ordinary, Bishop William Joensen. Please pray for me as I begin to minister at the altar.

@BackwardsFeet @CullumSmith Phrased weird from translation, it seems.

@PracticalTheolo @shagbark_hick You seem to assume that this will result in a boom of vocations; I don’t think the evidence supports this.

Also, in what ways has clerical celibacy proven to be a disaster?

@WalmartThomist You think he’s saying people don’t fraternally correct each other, or that they do it too much/in the wrong way? I assume the former

[Dcn. Luke Mohan 🇻🇦🇺🇸 @Luke__Mohan]

@memeticsisyphus Yes. Particularly noteworthy that Jesus decided to say “Love your enemies,” and not “Love everyone”

@TheOldFaith @AnthonyEsolen I found Silas Marner to be excellent; at least, the story and message that I drew from it

[Dcn. Luke Mohan 🇻🇦🇺🇸 @Luke__Mohan]

@DavidHein9 @AnthonyEsolen This is important. Literature used to aim to be challenging, or conducive to growth. Now, it is largely aiming to be immediately digestible. This applies also to film and other forms of media

What IS a NATION?

It can't be an aggregate of persons living within certain geographical bounds. It can't also be such persons living under certain laws, or under a government defined by a certain structure of components with clear relations to one another. That's not enough.

What makes a people ONE? We have to begin to talk about culture, and then we run straight into questions of history, folkways, arts and letters, philosophy, and religion. I do not see how this can be avoided.

Ads with whispering or “sing-speaking” in them should be illegal. Thoroughly unpleasant.
