Diocesan priest. I enjoy Carmelite spirituality. Currently reading The Restoration of Christian Culture by Dr. John Senior

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

@kalezelden @catholicrob Your interview with Amy Welborn was eye opening. All of this tech pushes us forward and detaches us from the past, yet paradoxically freezes moments in time. It's dangerous to follow the zeitgeist rather than God. Look at these proto-influencers: https://t.co/qkXA7fBcGB

@irns53 @lukei4655 @Tawadros15 I guess it depends on the area. I've never received any money from any of the 50+ houses I've blessed, college student or not. Parish families just ask if I want to stay for dinner, typically.

@austeni That doesn't seem to be what Ms. Wooden's article says.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@GregoryCaridi @jdflynn @cath_menarion In my experience, we've come back to this semi-Quietist view of vocation. This anxiety causes many in this generation to give up because of the lack of locutions.

Rereading through the Catholic Encyclopedia on vocation was interesting: https://t.co/9giTVpQ6vI

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@jdflynn I agree that the online magisterium can be overly rigorist here, and seriously I don't want to be pedantic, but it's not exactly ex nihilo and I think the inverse can be said about the "single vocation."

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "break the mold?"

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@jdflynn Certainly, all of us enjoy and labor under the universal call to holiness, but Christian history is built upon saints whose examples provide the scaffolding for our own lives. It's plainly evident that we've neglected the beauty of the evangelical counsels.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@jdflynn I don't think we'll foster religious vocations by browbeating single people, but we shouldn't level these structures either.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@ModicumJoh16 @edhauschild I won't knock the guys from Panama (?) it looked like they had uniform polos at least. But, even if your formators won't allow clerics, there's a level of decorum that should be observed in dress. Some had suits. Get an Oxford at least. We should be held to a higher standard.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

I would like it if the American Church could remember that even with (maybe especially with) an American Pope, not everything is about us.

@amywelborn2 @kalezelden @AUTHENTICITYVIC @GJCMDP Where could one listen to this interview? I was born in '91 and my family was not, let's say, in the loop in those days.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@FrHilderbrand I'm not sure people are understanding the analogy, but I'll be using this from now on.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@FrRyanRojo @HeinleinMichael I had been thinking similarly.

[Bree A Dail @breeadail]

How should people discern through the noise of media manipulation?

In a 2012 interview with @CatholicNewsSvc, Pope Leo XIV (then Robert Cardinal Prevost) addresses the how some in the media manipulate narratives, and form people’s opinions for them.

His solution:

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

Something the Vatican does well - as an institution stretching back 2k years - is make its various papal writings readily available, translated into numerous major languages. So people keep referring to Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum - you can pull it up in 3 seconds on the Vatican website.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@LycurgusEsq @thetugboat @Aristos_Revenge I don't disagree, but that's kind of the point of the exercise.

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Posting a thread of 'The clock of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ', by Saint Alphonsus Maria Liguori. Tweets will added to the thread at the exact time of the events in Jerusalem, almost two millennia ago.

[Fr. Trevor Buster @t_bust]

@pope_head @nyagrododumbara Very interesting! What book is this?

[The Catholic Traveler @MountainButorac]

I started going grayscale for Lent seven years ago. Now hundreds of people do it and hate me for it. If you are looking for some extra penance, give it a try. Sounds so simple, but you’ll be miserable. https://t.co/AGY6KdzQa5
