Many priests (not all) should get off social media. Their impulsiveness is on display for everyone to see. Remember, self-control is a fruit of the Spirit.

@AngAesthetics If no Word, then no Sacrament - where do the words of institution come from? who do they come from? The Word, of course.

[Anglican Aesthetics @AngAesthetics]

This is a real difference between the Anglican liturgy and the Roman Catholic one. For Roman Catholics, the homily is an optional add on to the central event: the sacrifice. For Anglicans, the Eucharist is still the center--but the liturgy is a unity of Word and Sacrament.

[Fr Matthew C. Dallman, Obl.S.B. @FrMCDallman]

I think it is good that the Orthodox approve the use of adapted Anglican liturgy that originated in the Book of Common Prayer. We are one Body of Christ, after all.

Yet calling it "the Divine Liturgy of Saint Tikhon" is really a rather ridiculous—even gas-lighting—thing to do.

In honor of the pending ACNA Provincial Council, here is Bernard of Clairvaux coming out in support of the proposal to simplify and improve the disciplinary process! 😉

@revrydecki @TuckerCarlson That's one interpretation.

If anyone wants to leave the non-conformists, separatist groups of presbyterianism and join an Anglican church, hit me up.

[Redeemed Zoomer @redeemed_zoomer]

If anyone in the PCA is discerning leaving it, please dm me. I am willing to have a respectful chat or phone call with anyone prayerfully discerning the logistics of becoming PCUSA.

@honorablesaint It was very cringe listening to Lila attempt to defend the Catholic faith. Pretty sure I could have done a better job.

“Have you asked God to show you that the Marian dogmas are true?”

What is this, Mormonism?

“Yet our soundest knowledge is to know that we know [God] not as indeed he is, neither can know him: and our safest eloquence concerning him is our silence, when we confess without confession that his glory is inexplicable, his greatness above our capacity and reach.” -Hooker

Listening to The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo.

It explores some interesting themes and motifs.

Just started so we will see where it goes.

@flabbytofit99 We weren’t at six figures when we both worked, but since my twin boys have been born it has taken me two years to feel like we can start saving. It’s been hard but I’m very glad to know my boys see their mom everyday. The Lord always provides.
