I do not dislike the SSPX, I just find certain people insufferable. But I will say the same about other Catholics who are celebrating the excommunications.
The big catholic accounts should be promoting prayer and fasting for what happened. Not celebrate the excommunication, or tell those attach to the society that they have invalid masses.
Catholic twitter has really become toxic, and I can see why many leave it.
@hmkherman I just want this conflict to be over.
I've got estranged friends on the SSPX side of the fence.
I already have too many schismatic friends.
I hate schism so much.
It's a long, hard day
I don't know why
It wasn't different
But still I sigh
Maybe from the heat
So here's goodbye
Goodnight, oomfies; sleep well.
I really don't know why I'm so tired this evening.
Oh well.
Rome, built on the Apostles' bones
We heed thy call, anon
From England to Subcarpathia
We stand together strong
For 'tis God's own grace He gives to men
That makes us bear a wrong
Rome, built on the Apostle's bones
We heed thy call, anon!
Goodnight, oomfies; sleep well.
@train2000c@Tawadros15@EvensongEnjoyer I haven't handled the North American Edition; however, I can say the CE is a very nicely put-together book.
Plus, the Australians have a couple of websites that have the CE online, which you don't need once you learn the rules. But one has the musical notion for you to sing.
Now the soft years have passed away
What tears are left to shed?
Our memory is past today
In our forgetful beds
"Skill in a world of now is nought
"Retrieve from search, you fool
"Why fill a mind with wisdom sought
"When it's not taught in school?"
@Gamma_Pyramind@RussianPapist Trust me, you think you want -20F temperatures and snow, you really don't.
It's all very pretty until you have to deal with it.
O native State, I love the best
O homeland of my fathers, blest
Thy main a hub for commerce fair
Oh, which we may all earn our share
Thy plains a home for kin to keep
And thy plains, where I wish to sleep
Goodnight, oomfiesl; sleep well.
The olden banners rest in hallowed halls
We salute our fathers' flags one and all
And in time of need, we will heed the call
Goodnight, oomfies; sleep well.
@connor_jk09 Sometimes, God will be without consolation because we're seeking the consolation more than Him.
The most important thing is to keep up as best as you can.
@connor_jk09 If I remember right, you're a recent convert.
I think you may be going through your first dry spell, if that makes sense.
I don't know if you've read The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, but I recall he made a point about this.
@JadeAtrophis "Luke, Luke, wake up. What? My son turning to the dark side? A granddaughter of Palpatine claiming the name Skywalker? Me going back to smuggling? That was a wild dream. Come on, we're about to sign the treaty with the Imperial Reminate."
Have I a true nation, a home?
Have I kin to call my own?
My own fathers are disparate kinds
Oh, where are kin and my home?
I wonder if I have a nation because I'm a mix of so many things. Oh well.
Goodnight, oomfies; sleep well.
