I've been listening to "new bishop press conferences" for a long time.

I'm not saying this at anyone in particular, but many of them sound like the appointment of a new CEO.

What the world needs is Christ crucified. So if you become a new bishop, this is what you say:

Flannery O’Connor said this prayer daily: “St. Raphael, lead us toward those we are waiting for, those who are waiting for us: Raphael, Angel of happy meeting, lead us by the hand toward those we are looking for.”#FlanneryOConnor #Archangels

@bronwenmcshea That is amazing! I can’t imagine how much hard work it took for you to learn this art. It is inspiring! Can’t wait to see the finished work!

@mlbitton Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 election with less than 40% of the vote. Everyone knows what an asshole he was.

@tedlieu @Bishopoftyler Read Matthew 19, Ted. Jesus makes it ver clear where he stands on same-sex marriage. St. Paul is also very clear about it. Do you not have those books in your bible? Four years of Catholic HS does not make you a theologian.

Our children deserve a future in which the idea of race is nothing but a distant memory.

"The Catholic novelist believes that you destroy your freedom by sin; the modern reader believes, I think, that you gain it in that way. There is not much possibility of understanding between the two."

#FlanneryOConnor Oh, to live and die with such love for our Savior.

@freedomrideblog @StevenBeynon If by ass kicking you mean mass murdering captured German soldiers, then, yes, ass-kicking.

[C. Lawrence Meyer @meyerbardill]

@freedomrideblog LOL! Which of those countries joined forces with the facists to carve up Eastern Europe for its own gain? Hint: Soviet Union.

Also, which country fought the fascists and their allies in Germany, Italy, Africa, Japan, and across the Pacific Ocean. Hint: Not the Soviet Union.

@agentska1 @wadehwallace @nytopinion @ebruenig How was that judgmental and whom was she judging?

[C. Lawrence Meyer @meyerbardill]

And we wonder why kids are having trouble in school. We’ve made even the most basic aspects of life impossible for them.
