Can we stop using the term “Vigil Mass” as a shorthand for “Anticipatory Mass?” A Vigil Mass is a specific thing that significantly differs from an Anticipatory Mass.
The outrage over Bonnie Blue's planned stunt raises an obvious question: if a fetus has no moral value until birth, why is everyone so concerned that she's pregnant? The public reaction suggests many believe something they won't openly admit.
@StayRealrd@MenaceFromvcmm@AriDrennen Brother, this is not how a practicing Catholic comports themself. You do not have to sling insults and dehumanizing language to share your view.
Every one of these people is an Imagebearer of God, and you need to recognize that in how you speak to them. Go to confession.
Yes, Pope Gregory made a mistake and it started a pop-culture misconception.
But the Church has always revered and venerated Mary of Magdala. Her skull is in one of the most beautiful reliquaries. She is called Apostle to the Apostles, Myrrhbearer, and Equal to the Apostles
Mary Magdalene was labeled a prostitute in 591 CE by Pope Gregory - not by the Bible.
The Gospel of Mary was banned, buried, and lost for over 1,500 years.
Mary Magdalene financially backed Jesus's ministry.
Jesus repeatedly trusted her with spiritual authority the male disciples struggled to understand.
Peter openly resented her in early Christian texts.
The Gospel of Mary teaches that liberation comes from within- not from external authority.
She was the first witness to the risen Christ.
"Apostle to the Apostles." Her teachings centered inner knowing.
Direct connection. The divine within.
Early Christianity was deeply divided.
Peter's church: hierarchy, obedience, control.
Magdalene traditions: gnosis, equality, mysticism.
She was never fully erased.
From ancient France to modern Magdalene movements she keeps returning.
So does the truth.
Canada has six major taxpayer-funded Holocaust museums and dozens of smaller memorials.
But a one single museum opens one single exhibit on the Nakba and Zionist Jews all lose their shit.
It's the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Do Palestinians not have human rights?
@WalkingHymnal What business is it of yours if the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church wants to have a bishop with him in Rome? Canon law is not meant to and will never replace the authority and decision-making of the Holy Father.

@theblessedsalt True! My priest didn’t have a homily last Sunday, instead let the (very lovely) woman that runs the children’s ministry do a prolonged teaching activity with the kids, as it was their first communion day, where it would usually happen.
I was pretty confused (received on Easter).
The abominable treatment of civilians aboard the flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is unacceptable.
Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed officials to summon the Israeli ambassador to demand assurances regarding the safety and security of Canadians involved.
Canada has already imposed strict sanctions on Mr. Ben-Gvir, including asset freezes and a travel ban, in response to his repeated incitement of violence. The protection of civilians and respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times.
@RyanCunnin68858@GarnettGenuis CPC policy does not mean every Conservative MP supports it. A unanimous consent motion does not mean CPC unanimously voted for it.
NEW: e.l.f Cosmetics co-founder is set to become a Catholic priest after abandoning his wealthy and luxurious life.
At the age of 42, Scott Vincent Borba gave up his fortune and entered the seminary.
Now at 52 years of age, Borba, a former actor, designer, model and singer, is set to be ordained on May 23 in Visalia by the Diocese of Fresno.
"We ran around with the likes of, Paris Hilton, and partying with Kardashians and just doing up the Hollywood life. I was a poster boy for luxury living. I was not in any which way humble. I was very prideful," he said during an interview.
"I asked our Lord to help me be the man that he created me to be."
"And upon that instance, I had this massive flood of love and mercy that came into my life. It was a very mystical experience."
What an amazing story.
