@ItsJustLupin I cannot stop looking at him he's too brilliant.

@ThxTom90228 Actually, in humanity there is no shame in being a burden.

We’re mortal. Our bodies get weak, our minds get weak. We will each die. And along we’ll depend on each other.

Love is bearing the burden willingly and generously.

[JD Flynn @jdflynn]

@ThxTom90228 We’re all burdens to one another.

We are one another’s crosses. But in Christ, there is no shame in that.

@FrMatthewLC Thank you Fr, my car broke down Sunday night and I have no idea when the garage will look at it.

“In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise it, finance it, regulate it and use it.”

THANK YOU POPE LEO FOR SAYING THIS.

Time for the “technology is a tool with no inherent moral position” idea to die!

@Duke_of_Pizza I bought the largest most delicious pizza on Wednesday and actively prayed for and thought of you while eating it

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@Puddle_Jumper16 The fact that we know each other so little and I still immediately associate you with such resounding joy, positivity for all around you, and love for your friends, speaks volumes about how much you pour into the lives of others James. Will keep you in prayer tonight x

Galilee would be a lovely name for a non-binary baby

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber @seekingwatson I think your joke is undercut by being a real opinion that many people hold and that people who have any understanding of Frodo's character shouldn't promulgate.
If you're gonna troll, try exaggerating more. We don't need more people on the internet saying Sam is the real hero.

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber @seekingwatson bound only to aid him as far as they will. It's to Sam's credit ofc that he goes as far as he goes for Frodo, but their tasks are utterly different and Sam IS in a support role. Frodo is the only one who can achieve the quest.

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber @seekingwatson and b) why so often Sam and Frodo are held up in a kind of opposition - 'well Frodo was right to have pity/mercy, but he wouldn't have got far without Sam' he wouldn't have got far without any member of the Fellowship. His task and burden is being the ring bearer, the others are-

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber @seekingwatson I disagree here also. Frodo is very noble in the films, and also possible to misread as a sad sack in the books. Yes, without the precision of Tolkien's language, film is an easier medium to misread, but without constant narration, I can't think how Jackson could've been clearer

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@seekingwatson @AaronIrber ☝️ Agreed

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@Duke_of_Pizza @AaronIrber 💛 💯

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber Oh believe me I'm gonna complain about this next 😘

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber 3/ No idea how to read your laity and priest line. Frodo's sacrifice (as priest) makes possible the destruction of the ring/sin. Tolkien is clear that no one else could've brought the ring as close to doom as Frodo did. Hero.
This was not achieved by Sam getting married later.

[Venerable Dishrag of a Pious Mouse @piousmouse]

@AaronIrber 2/ You're framing Frodo's fate as due to being "too… damaged" and needing healing, rather than being damaged as a result of his great sacrifice and being rewarded for that merit. This is wrong and wrong.
