@martindlund @frobrien Susan is ironically a pretty good testament to the impact laity can have on a parish if they can stick it out. Be the Susan you want to see in the world.

And no, for anyone wondering, getting married and starting a family before 23 doesn’t spare you from this decision. It just kicks the can about 4 more years or until the children don’t represent an ongoing all-hands-on-deck situation anymore.

[doomer @uncledoomer]

as a man at 23 you either lock in or kill yourself or become listless chaff scattered to the wind. choose or become the latter.

@spence_hays @lukei4655 I think, atleast in terms of limited public veneration, beatification is the cutoff. Of course presumably for maters of private veneration you could start venerating them at any stage.

@QuetzalPhoenix Yes, but only when its music I don’t like

The incredible major relic of Blessed Fulton J. Sheen was presented at Mass by the Engstrom family. It was Fulton Sheen who interceded to God on behalf of baby James Fulton Engstrom in 2010.

Bonnie Engstrom, James’ mother, had prayed for the intercession of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheenduring her pregnancy, and she implored his help when her son was born without a pulse.

As the doctors were preparing to pronounce the newborn dead, he took a breath and his heart rate stabilized.

Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, pray for us.

While France's Lourdes shrine moves to cover mosaics by Father Marko Rupnik, Brazil's National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida in São Paulo celebrated new installations by the artist, who faces decades of allegations of sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse.

The celebration on Sept. 12 included music, prayers, biblical dramatizations and fireworks.

The installation, which surrounds the entire basilica, is credited to the Centro Aletti, the art studio founded by Father Rupnik, whose canonical trial is still under review by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

In this video, posted by TV Aparecida on Sept. 1, Redemptorist fathers who administer the shrine, place some last stones in the western - and last - facade, inaugurated Sept. 12.

As one of the prelates placed a stone at the beginning of this fragment of the video, a person standing next to him and giving instructions can be seen wearing a construction hat with the initials "MIR," and bearing a strong physical resemblance to Father (Marko) Rupnik, whose middle name is Ivan. We can't see his face, as he is hidden behind the friar.

@OSVNews' @jae_journalist reached out to the shrine's communications office Sept. 17 to confirm whether the person was Father Rupnik, since the initials matched his full name. The office was also asked what guided its decision to allow the priest to continue despite pleas from alleged victims and his ongoing canonical trial.
OSV News is awaiting a response from the shrine.

The Sept. 12 ceremony featured a blessings from retired Archbishop Orlando Brandes of Aparecida, who is also present in the video below, standing behind a person that may be Father Rupnik.

Its honestly embarrassing how much influence my non-american mutuals have had on my political views, given the direction that they have influenced me towards.

[Young Catholics for Ordered Migration @YCOMSociety]

Good morning Catholics and supporters,

Incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this, we’ve had amazing progress so far, reaching nearly 10,000 supporters in under 24 hours. Again, we couldn’t be more grateful and we pray that this movement can make itself heard.

YCOM Society exists for one reason. The Church’s teaching on migration has two poles. The first (welcome the stranger, human dignity) is preached constantly.

The second (nations have the right and duty to regulate their borders for the common good) is treated as optional. The hierarchy, in theory, seldom references this second teaching, and in practice, disregards it to a troubling degree.

We believe disordered migration has led to real consequences to the common good, which the Church’s own teaching already requires us to weigh.

We seek to call upon Catholic social teaching, the Catechism, the writings of the Saints, and the Bible, in order to reform the US Catholic Church’s attitude and action towards unchecked mass immigration.

We are a nonpartisan, laity and (for now) strictly online organization. We hold with the utmost respect the office of the Papacy, the Episcopate and the role of the USCCB in the US Catholic Church. We seek dialogue and reform, not disrespect or disobedience.

We are not affiliated with political parties or policy; our movement is strictly within the Catholic Church, and seeks to engage with the Bishops of the USCCB, the administrators of Catholic Charities, and influential Catholics in government, media and business for productive dialogue.

All help and support is welcomed, no matter how big or small. For now we are a grassroots online movement, but we hope this movement grows into something that the Church cannot ignore.

We are currently seeking trustworthy, faithful and skilled baptized Catholics who support this cause and want to help establish the movement. Direct messages are open currently, however anonymous & unverified accounts will not be considered.

This is the only official channel for this organization. We are working to launch a website, Instagram and Substack and will make announcements for each.

For now, continue showing your support, and as stated, we are incredibly grateful to all who have shown up so far, and we can pray for many more.

@dompeet_ @owenbroadcast Sunsets and architecture were really just two spur of the moment examples of a nearly endless list of visual artistry we exist amidst. That any given example should be temporary, given that some other art soon assumes its place, isn’t doing the educator’s argument any favors.

[FolkHall @FolkHall]

Never forget under any circumstances that they are still mad about Catholics in America.

[J. Chase Davis @jchasedavis]

WE'RE A GOD-FEARING PEOPLE AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN OUR HOME!!

[FolkHall @FolkHall]

@owenbroadcast We simply *exist* within the context of art and trying to grasp control of that could only possibly come from the mind of some modern academic educator, now that I think about it.

[FolkHall @FolkHall]

@owenbroadcast regardless of if this would work, it certainly begs alot of questions. Imagine taking this approach to visual art? No sunsets and architecture, sorry, we aren't learning about that in school today.

The Ortho version of “flirt to convert” is just going after Catholic divorcees.
