@mfjlewis@AuditeInsulae Having attended a TLM in Nashville recently, I was shocked yet again that the readings were totally different - on the feast of Corpus Christi no less where youngsters were receiving First Holy Communion. Apparently this parish’s liturgical calendar is different.
Russians are far worse than any barbarian hordes in history. They just damaged one of the holiest shrines of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, the Dormition Cathedral (Uspensky Sobor), built in 1078, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will never forgive Russia😡Never🤬
@MDLatinMass Communion rails are tough for those who are unable to kneel and when one couples that with communion by the tongue, receiving communion is a challenge.
Pope Leo sat with the pilots of a flight from Madrid to Barcelona on the second leg of his Spain tour. The pontiff was invited aboard by one of the captains, and waved at Spanish Air Force fighter jet pilots escorting the plane https://t.co/pbv4UuLWFo
@foxnewspolitics Folks will have nothing to do with a philanderer, child molester, crook, and a divider extraordinaire. The good bishop should stick to religion - as his side likes to say.
For the @nytimes, I wrote about how cruel and horrific Ebola is, as both a provider, and as a patient.
I tried to reflect the science, and the profound sadness.
Very grateful to my editor, who pushed me to make this more personal. I usually avoid doing so. For reasons that become clear at the end of this piece.

@CNBC What is going on with these guys? The most corrupt president ever and these supposedly successful men are stumbling over themselves in heaping praise.
Ebola has broken out in DR Congo and Uganda, reaching the capitals, and @WHO has declared this a global health emergency. I traveled along the Congo/Uganda border last year, and the public health structure--especially community health workers--was being dismantled because of President Trump's demolition of USAID. This Ebola outbreak will also be harder to address because it involves the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there is no vaccine or approved therapy and for which even testing is complicated. And Trump has also withdrawn the US from @who, limiting the world's ability to work together to fight the virus. Uganda has a decent health system, but Congo's is a disaster and is complicated by war in Eastern Congo. Large numbers of Congolese are in camps in southwestern Uganda, and the US aid cuts mean that UN agencies are able to offer them less support so that the refugees increasingly are on their own and traveling more in search of food. If the Ebola spreads more broadly, then the cost in lives and money could be considerable -- so it's important to act early to contain it. I hope Trump will reconsider his moves, work with WHO, and dispatch assistance to the Uganda/Congo border area. https://t.co/J7MAf3qix1
