Lover of peoples with a NY heart and Texas flavor. Thoughtful Independent once Republican. Organically Catholic with a walking faith, and here, a talking one.
@jzipple I have some thoughts, no data. The TLM seems to appeal to a certain type of believer. The liturgies that grow out of V2 and particularly in areas where the faithful have a faith filled with hope, also appeal to a certain type. The TLM types tend, imo, to worship a majestic God.1/
@TheresaMac1960 He is indeed working in the place of Christ. He will be hung on the cross by those who put their own desires ahead of God's will. If we follow Jesus, we will be ridiculed and hated by the Pharisees and the masses. We are promised to walk through the narrow gate, not the wide path
The NYPD has a history of allowing Proud Boys & other violent white supremacists to break the same law they systematically & near-exclusively enforce against Black & brown people in only certain train stations. This is from last year:
Damar Hamlin is a truly wonderful and special person. He’s made an enormous impact on his community, long before he made the NFL — as you’ll see in the video below. Please pray for Damar and his family. 🙏
The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the man in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at https://t.co/LRUnRA40bG or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo 125-AFO.
@ThomasReeseSJ I met him in NYC in the 1980's during the AIDS crisis. Act Up interrupted his talk and knocked him and a number of us down to the ground. He was such a slight man, but I never forget how frightened his eyes were.
In the new year, let me experience awe & amazement, not just at the grand & glorious, but in the small, quiet & gentle moments of beauty that truly make a life: the laughter of a friend, dancing to music by oneself, feeling the sun on one's skin, splashing in a puddle, breathing.
@FelipeMurrelli@TonySpence@CatholicNewsSvc Not at all, the Bishops no longer want to pay for the service. They prefer to let EWTN be the voice of Catholicism in the US. They are the most worthless group of men ever. Wickedly weak. Pharisees.
I was honored to help out behind the scenes with the @messyjesusbiz#podcast, hosted by @juliafspa - and be a guest as well! It’s a #Catholic podcast exploring radical #discipleship. Please check out the show, and tell your friends. Thanks!

Holy Mary, as we celebrate this New Year’s Eve, help us to be grateful for the goodness we witnessed this year even in the midst of so much pain and suffering caused by the divisions among us. You are always with us, as our mother. Help us find unity and peace in the coming year.
@hugolowell After-action reports are a routine part of how the USSS operates. After January sixth, despite dangers to multiple protectees, and obvious shortcomings, the USSS refused to do one.
Tells you all you need to know about the USSS and Tony Ornato.

In a democracy doing a job when it comes with threats of violence forces teachers, poll worker, even doctors out of public life so MAGA's can fill those roles. Support Democrats #FWC https://t.co/h7taSnGs42
