Catholic priest, #vocations director and preacher of Parish Missions with @RedemptoristsGB, bit geeky. Welsh.

@holysmoke Soon to be spun out into a book?

@LMSChairman I imagine they’d have done well on the Argentinian Pampas, tucking into the odd empanada!

@DrFrancisYoung There’s a temporary exhibit at the Georgian National Museum of ethnographic work done on semi-Pagan areas of Georgia in the 70’s. I was prepared for the typical “oh this Christian festival has deep pagan roots”, but it was animal sacrifice and severed hands hanging from doorways.

[Royston Price @RoystonPrice]

@MichaelTG09 Presumably this is for Qurban or Udhiyah, rather than regular halal slaughter.

[Royston Price @RoystonPrice]

@MichaelTG09 I’m pretty sure I recall St Alphonsus in his ‘Moral Theology’ saying that’s it’s not permissible for a Christian to knowingly sell an animal they know will be used in pagan sacrifice, as it’s co-operating with evil to an unacceptable degree.

Zwischen der Dormitio (linke Mauer) und Abendmahlssaal (rechte Mauer): Kann nicht mehr zählen, wie oft mich genau dort jüdische Extremisten schon beschimpft, bespuckt und angegriffen haben. Sich als Mann an einer Ordensfrau zu vergreifen, hat aber eine neue abgründigere Qualität!

@johnmilbank3 It’s a Solemnity, and the Cathedral in Southwark is dedicated to him.

@BruvverEccles Mary Seacole: Catholic Convert

@edhauschild @wattsandco There are some of our churches which would really fit it… I *think* the rules on veiling don’t say they *have* to be purple, so there’s an opening… I’d be very tempted if I was a PP with a windfall. Vestments are another matter…

[Royston Price @RoystonPrice]

@ALucieSmith @BruvverEccles @LukeCoppen I think an indicator is putting a neighbouring bishop in as Ap Admin, which didn’t happen. i suppose options would be back in with Southwark, or united with Portsmouth. Northampton unlikely as it’s a different province and East Anglia would be more natural to pair with it.

@EvanAG1999 It’s very nice - these are from a few weeks ago.

[Royston Price @RoystonPrice]

@johnmilbank3 That’s unfair to compare poor Catholic liturgy with Anglican worship at its best - why not compare best with best?

[Royston Price @RoystonPrice]

@Frances_Coppola @bullshit_johnny That’s explicitly forbidden in the Catholic Church under Canon 927

“Christmas Day should be called the Day of Fire, on which God came as a little child to cast the fire of love into our hearts.” St Alphonsus Liguori, Novena for Christmas.

Merry Christmas one and all!

A parish in New York City tripled their young adult converts.

If you go to their website it's obvious why it's working.

They have a few core weekly events targeted to young adults designed to help them encounter Jesus and grow in their faith.

The temptation is to copy and paste.

"Let's do wine and theology! Let's start street evangelization!"

Don't. Here’s why.

A good Parish Mission at St George’s, Worcester. Many thanks to the clergy and people!
