@YounisJoseph @JohnAnthonyMD ACGME has osteopathic recognition for residency programs. DOs tend to apply to programs that already have DO residents in the program but this is due more to the persistent bias against DOs at some programs that continue to refuse to consider DO applicants.

@austeni Not if they’re what we called ‘pet lambs’ when I grew up on a sheep farm. They were lambs typically abandoned by the mother who were bottle fed and had no fear of humans as a result. Perhaps these lambs are raised that way to prevent them being fearful in this context.

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@austeni I think the shared history would likely make it problematic rather than possible. I think greater cooperation is a good thing. I don’t think there’s any reason for anything more than cooperation though.

@josephnollasj I’ve been living in the US for 15 years and I don’t think I’ve heard EP1 ever being used at Mass. I think I’ve heard the EPs for Masses for Reconciliation and the EP for Masses for Various Needs and Occasions much more often than I would have expected.

@WallStreetMav There are no natural born citizens of Vatican City. All its citizens are immigrants.

@AerLingus Hi @AerLingus unfortunately the (I assume) AI chat bot was not able to help. Is there a human who could answer the question?

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@peta This picture seems to be a Merino sheep that would require shearing. Also, sheep tend not to approach humans naturally unless they’ve been domesticated. I think the picture used undermines the point you’re trying to make.

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@DaultRadio argue would not make an approach based in humility one that would embrace the torture scenario you alluded to. I may be missing some nuance, so apologies if I misinterpreted you in any way.

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@DaultRadio I'm not a philosopher, so I think my comment can be dismissed on that basis, but I think the understanding of humility in this piece isn't as rich as it could be. Humility in the Christian tradition and in psychological literature is profoundly other-centered, which, I would...

@GamerEMDoc Given how demanding residency is, it would seem to make a lot of sense that anything that demonstrates resilience and perseverance, like being a first gen college grad or med student, would be something programs should want to embrace and see as a positive.

@ThomasReeseSJ @RNS @americamag I grew up in Ireland, and kneeling during the eucharistic prayer was the standard practice. I've been to Italy, Scotland, England, and Portugal, where it's also been standard practice to kneel. It may be more a reflection of the places we've traveled to and the churches attended.

@DinahLeeKung @MichaelPTKelly So, based solely on the data, there doesn't seem to be anything to support the assertion that this would make the difference that has been claimed.

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@DinahLeeKung @MichaelPTKelly than the Catholic Church in terms of the metrics that Fintan talks about. The Church of England, for example, has had married clergy from its inception and female clergy for almost 40 years, and they have had a continued decline...

@FrHilderbrand I think it might have been Merry del Val rather than Benedict XV. The text below is from Benedict XV: A Pope in the World of the ‘Useless Slaughter’ (1914–1918), vol. 1, p. 130

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@PillarCatholic rather than a pastor. While it may make sense in terms of organizing resources, I think there is a question of whether it causes long-term difficulties in terms of pastoral care vis-a-vis the bishop and the people in the diocese.

[Martin Timoney @mbtimoney]

@PillarCatholic The second issue is one where people talk about restructuring as necessary. I think this makes sense from a managerial approach, but I question if it makes sense pastorally. Merging dioceses effectively makes a bishop an even more remote figure who becomes an administrator...
