@_VanDeRante Well said - very annoying habit of speech almost as infuriating as London ebonics.

@holysmoke Little separates the factions, whose unanimity was nicely put by a recent guest at No10, one who'd be welcome irrespective of occupant, billionaire activist and de facto capo di tutti capi, Larry Fink, CEO BlackRock Inc:

How can a *Catholic* defend unrepentant pornographers whose ventures include selling "PHD" courses on pimping as a business model?

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

European unity is an ancient, fundamental, and sometimes invisible truth, which every white man will discover if he meets another white man in Central Africa or unpenetrated Tibet.

My review, in today’s Daily Mail, of Stephanie Hegarty’s superb Radio 4 programme on the Countess of Chester Hospital.

@ajusresistendi @nomenymous @MillennialWoes Notion of religion/identity as a matter for the individual person is itself uniquely *Christian*.

[Sean Gerard @highr0ad]

@JohnLondon1990 @nomenymous @MillennialWoes Nothing more *Christian* than scientific atheism. "I'm not religious" is the paradoxical fulfilment of Christianity understood historically/anthropologically as destroyer of primitive/sacrificial religion. Hence purely a European/Western phenomenon - no atheism in Africa.

[Sean Gerard @highr0ad]

@MillennialWoes *Practically* if not theologically you cannot but be *Christian*. Even self-avowed anti-Christ Nietzscheites don't advocate for a return to pre-Christian norms such as human chattel, expendability of "the weak". They are Christian in spite of themselves, heritage is not a choice.

@princeofthef4ll @zerodegreesea European hair darkens with age. Blond/e adults are the exception in these islands. Blonde Anglo hair is usually bleached like Marilyn Monroe. Only blond in English public life I can think of is Boris Johnson who's of Turkish descent.

@agroyper421 @aj68895159 @RichardBSpencer Spain today is whiter and more Spanish than England is white or English, and far less ‘ebonic’-default speech in urban England now for years, as in US for decades. Africa was European for a 1000 years prior to c7th Arab expansion. Berber indigenous to Africa:

🚨 IRELAND

The latest dig at the Tuam Mother and Baby Home has found 22 remains, all of which were in coffins and NOT in a septic tank

Almost a year into the excavation there are NO signs that a single child died of foul play or was buried in a septic tank

J.R.R Tolkien: “I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament.”

Tolkien was a devout Catholic.

@ALucieSmith "Boomers" are no more liable for sexual revolution than the ruinous commercialism or market ideology accelerating it. GKC's 'mistakes' avoids pointing the figure at others for sins which no one is without: 60s/70s *lust* or 80s/90s *avarice*. Still valid mutatis mutandis:

[Sean Gerard @highr0ad]

@ALucieSmith Blaming parents/prior generation has a long provenance, but when are post-boomers born after 1965 supposed to assume agency?

[Sean Gerard @highr0ad]

@Nina_Power_ @james1071 Isn't political activism generally in service of joining to banish *them* or *it* as source of our ills? While fiercest antagonisms are always between those on same side competing for same prestige.

"Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues, hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance."

[Father V @father_rmv]

The feast of St. Mary Magdalene is considered one of the most mystical of feasts, and it is said that of all the songs of the saints, that of Mary Magdalene is the sweetest and strongest because her love was so great. That love was praised by Jesus Himself who said that because much was forgiven her, she loved much. Where she is buried, no one knows. Legend has her dying in Provence, France, in a cavern where she spent her last days, and her body resting in the chapel of St. Maximin in the Maritime Alps. Another has her buried in Ephesus where she went with St. John after the Resurrection. This latter view is more likely, and St. Willibald, the English pilgrim to the Holy Land in the eighth century, was shown her tomb there.

She was the first recorded witness to the resurrection of Jesus, His most ardent and loving follower. She had stood with Mary at the foot of the Cross on that brutal Good Friday afternoon and had been by the side of Mary during these difficult hours. On Easter morning, she went with the other women to the tomb and it was there, in the garden near the tomb, that Jesus appeared to her. It was she who brought the news of the Resurrection to the Apostles, and Peter and John raced to the tomb to see what had happened.

She was from Magadala, a small fishing town on the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and Tiberias. She was known to be a "great sinner," a woman of the streets who heard Jesus speak of the mercy and forgiveness of God and changed her life completely. Her matter-of-fact witness to the Resurrection moved Peter and John to go and see for themselves: "I have seen the Lord and these things he said to me." Jesus had chosen her to bring the news to them and she simply told them what had happened.

She has always been the example of great love and great forgiveness, one of those close to Jesus who grasped the truth of God's love for human beings and spent her life bearing witness to that love. (Excerpted from The One Year Book of Saints by Rev. Clifford Stevens)
