@fakehistoryhunt and scientists who get in front of cameras or on social media.

@hardflics This is a very comforting and encouraging reminder. Thank you!

@hf_222222 I think so too, or at least not just from sacramental reception of the Eucharist. As for the more mystical aspects of the mystery; a few statements abt the Eucharist from StJPII and its foundational role in the Church never left me ever since I read them.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@hf_222222 Abt the universal call to holiness, the Eucharist I think is foundational to what that means, no? That ours is not a muscular attempt to climb the mountain so to speak *by ourselves* but with God in ways which are more profound than I can express.

@HarrierMagnus @hf_222222 “If any one sees his brother committing what is not a deadly sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not deadly. There is sin which is deadly; I do not say that one is to pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not deadly.”

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@HarrierMagnus @hf_222222 The Church, I’m sure you know, makes important (meaningful, that’s the key) distinctions about the type of sin.

@PaleoOnc @marklewismd You’re not alone.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@hf_222222 Well I certainly don’t think it’s separate. It’s an instance of what I think he’s getting to.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@HarrierMagnus @hf_222222 Bc there’s an equivocation. I think Pope Francis established a discernment process for what worthy/unworthy means concretely in some cases. These aren’t just artificial categories, they mean something and he wanted pastoral guidance to reflect that.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@hf_222222 So in the AL controversy, it’s only fussy casuistry if the Eucharist is seen as a prize for the perfect, in which case you’d be 100% right. But that’s explicitly not what Francis’ theology of nourishment says it was.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@hf_222222 That’s an interesting way to put it but I don’t think it’s right. Pope Francis didn’t want to get away with a technicality but rather see the person’s truest relationship with God.

@litteraechristi Which Latin?

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@lukei4655 My sense of prudence is that after 30, clergy or no, you probably shouldn’t do this, or do things like running.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@jacqueboatman Unless the next thing is one of those “don’t do that!!!!” things.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@TyburnMartyrs @DrHelenFry Great movie!

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@PAHoyeck And lo, as he watched this once great great academic colossus consumed by flames, he could only think: Oh, the humanities!!!!!

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@AidanBricks @PAHoyeck Crap, I got use that prison line. It’s brilliant. See the PhD paid off for him! Maybe I should get one!

@nonnullis02 @_CLancellotti You’ll be happy to know we’re actually not doing well;) I find political stability in Italy rarely translates in prosperity. Our best years were very unstable, imo it’s an artificial metric of dubious value anyway.

[Foolhardy @Foolhardy561441]

@_CLancellotti SeMo i PiÙ FoRtI!!!! Lmao…yeah it’s likely the end of days. Enjoy everyone!
