Recently I discovered on tiktok an account of a man and his mother with Alzheimer’s who sing gospel tunes and my lord what a marvelous harmony

A husband gently cuts his wife’s hair as she cries during cancer treatment, then quietly shaves his own too… this hits deep 😭💔

This grandpa spent the last decade of his life cuddling sick babies.

The world needs many more like him.

Love that man and his son❤️

@ArdorNew Don't get me wrong - I like all the tradition and the reminding of the holiness of God, but after watching The Chosen, I don't know, it all seems unnecessary if one becomes the temple of God/Christ/Spirit. Mind you, self-deception is also very easy.

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

@ArdorNew I've always had one niggling question: If the veil of the temple was torn in two, if Jesus did away with the need for sacrifices which only the clergy could do, why do we want altar rails and a separation between holy and everyday, and why do we need clergy?

Oh, just found the original. https://t.co/cGAVO9iM0B

Joy! And why not? Anyone remember Missa Luba. Oh how I loved that. https://t.co/uDxjIa8IzG

[Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone @ArchCordileone]

The point is reverence: praying the Mass.

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

Oh Lord, gimme power! I love power.

[Chris Jackson @BigModernism]

They’re not just banning the Latin Mass.

They’re banning kneeling. Latin. Chant. Reverence itself. Charlotte’s bishop just declared war on tradition; even within the Novus Ordo. Leo XIV is letting it happen.

It may be 'medieval' but bring it on, I say.

Yikes and I approve⬇️

@holysmoke People, just follow the gospels. You don't need all these princes, and idiots, and bigots, and fakes, from both sides. There are 2 churches, the one of the 'professionals' and the one of the saints. Just follow the saints and let these 'professionals live in their self-delusion.

The Guardian article has gone. It's here though: https://t.co/Zce9hqIv3c

This is interesting: Two men abused by George Pell in 1970s granted compensation by the federal government https://t.co/GjdVYEWhO9

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

Perfectly described. Go well!

Here again is another link for Webinar 3. Hope 'you' can make it. https://t.co/oCqwERnLAs I'm putting my neck on the line a little with this one. This one is on behalf of survivors but directed at the hierarchy and clergy. @hans_zollner

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

For those who may want a rundown of my first Webinar, I just found the following from @MariaWiering . Thank Maria you for this really well-written article reposted here. https://t.co/P9q5CO7Ejf Hope you can make it to no. 3

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

Here is the original https://t.co/PC2QTIIPyr. Just want to point out that the quote starting with “Since 2002, all bishops... " came from JD Flynn's 'Benedict, Viganò, Francis, and McCarrick: Where things stand on nuncio’s allegations'.

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

@SNAPNetwork It's amazing this shite is still happening. Help me get this out there. Thanks.

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

@SNAPNetwork Want to know more about how and why the church does this? I invite you to Part 3 of my series, Unchaste Celibates. https://t.co/uR4bIONFNc , organised by the St. Paul, Minneapolis diocese.

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

Please pass this on to anyone you think might benefit (survivors), or those who need to hear it (clergy, Bishops, @Pontifex), the ones with the power to change things.
Also @JohnLAllenJr, @cworldreport, @NCRonline.
The webinar site itself is but a humble place, but please come.

[Stephen de Weger @SdeW1957]

Please join me in Part 3 of my series, Unchaste Celibates. https://t.co/uR4bIONFNc
I will be discussing key ingredients of clergy sexual misconduct & how these relate to the Catholic Church's disturbing normalisation and level of covering up sex abuse.
