My wife and I are lay members of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT). Many of you know Sister Miriam from the Hallow app and Youtube who is a member of SOLT. These are missionary priests and sisters working in areas of deepest apostolic need. These priests, sisters and laity working in missionary assignments need your prayers. Specifically, they need you to offer up your suffering(s) in prayer for them. Attached is a sign up sheet that you can sign and fill out. Make a photo copy of the completed form and send it to this email address:

[email protected]

Anyone who signs up will get quarterly updates about SOLT and their missions. But, more importantly, the priests will say masses for everyone enrolled in this 'missionaries of mercy' program. Your contact information will not be shared with anyone and not used for solicitation of money. God Bless.

@CollinRugg This is fake. This is not what demonic shaking/convulsion look like.

The scenario of him being away while she’s home with the kids 24/7 isn’t uncommon, and neither is the tension it causes when he gets home. Wives can get resentful in these circumstances and take it out on their husbands. Husbands get lonely when they’re away a long time.

The solution that would help a lot — and doesn’t require an open marriage — is to quit the job. Live within the means you have and stay faithful to each other. God always blesses a marriage like that, and it results in more souls getting to heaven.

@ryanburge Did you get this from the data directly or someone else? Did this factor in the level of participation of respondent in the practice of their religion?

[tkurzendoerfer † ™ © @TKjokester]

@LizzieMarbach The problem with these studies is that we don’t know if these are practicing Catholics or just baptized catholics.

Must have missed the NYT’s press freedom coverage when @JamesOKeefeIII was cuffed in his own home and had his property taken.

@ArdorNew It makes sense!

@EVR_Forge @EricRSammons I wasn't sure why you brought up liturgical calendars. I was just tryint to juxtapose FSSP with SSPX except I honestly don't know what the SSPX position is on Divince Mercy.

[tkurzendoerfer † ™ © @TKjokester]

Because a 3 o'clock Divine Mercy service isn't a liturgical celebration in the technical sense, so the 1962 calendar doesn't govern it.
The distinction that matters here is between the liturgy proper (the Mass and the Divine Office), which the FSSP celebrates strictly according to the 1962 books, and popular piety / extraliturgical devotions, which aren't bound to the calendar of the Missal. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the veneration of the image, exposition and Benediction, and the 3 o'clock "hour of mercy" observance are devotions, not propers of the Mass. An FSSP apostolate can hold all of that on the afternoon of the Octave of Easter without any conflict with the 1962 calendar.

@EVR_Forge @EricRSammons Does the SSPX celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday?

[tkurzendoerfer † ™ © @TKjokester]

@EricRSammons Has anyone thought about reaching out to the priests in SSPX that may feel 'stuck' now? What if they don't want to stay in SSPX now but want to go to the FSSP or ICK? I still have sympathy for the priests who are now under this decree. An article about that would be interesting to read. Maybe you can find an SSPX priest that is willing to talk anonymously. @sspx

[tkurzendoerfer † ™ © @TKjokester]

The key differentiator: the Pope explicitly forbade the SSPX from consecrating these bishops. The canon they invoke (Canon 1323) provides exceptions for genuine emergency, so they reframe the situation as a "crisis" to justify acting. But the Pope himself said no such justification existed. That's what makes it harder for me to sympathize.

@CoffinMedia @Krastafilakou @grok Has Harvey Levin been accuse of sexual harrassment, assault or rape like Harvey Weinstein

I asked Grok this question: when did apostolic mandates become the norm in the catholic church for the ordination of a bishop? Weren't ordination of bishops normal without express papal authority before the current age of travel and communication?
Here was the final answer. Why the Change, and the Role of Communication/Travel?
Your intuition is correct. For most of Church history—before telegraphs, telephones, air travel, the internet, and modern bureaucracy—a centralized system requiring express papal approval for every bishop ordination worldwide was neither practical nor the historical norm. The Church functioned with a more collegial and regional model: bishops in communion with one another and with the See of Rome (the successor of Peter), but with significant local initiative.
The modern requirement reflects the full exercise of papal primacy as defined at Vatican I (1870) and the practical ability of the Holy See, in the contemporary world, to oversee the universal Church’s unity through appointments. It ensures that every bishop stands in hierarchical communion with the Pope as head of the College of Bishops. The 1917 Code simply made this discipline explicit and binding across the Latin Church.
In short:

Theologically, communion with Peter has always been essential.
Canonically and in practice, the strict apostolic mandate as a prerequisite for licit episcopal ordination became the universal norm only in the 20th century (1917 onward for the Latin Church). Before that—and especially in the early Church—ordinations without express papal authorization for each case were normal and accepted.

@ProtecttheFaith It would only appear that way if you don't consider what the SSPX has done to cause this yoyo effect.

[tkurzendoerfer † ™ © @TKjokester]

@EricRSammons @grok Has the Pope ever declared that the confessions and marriages are invalid for an excommunicated group like Pope Leo did with SSPX

[tkurzendoerfer † ™ © @TKjokester]

Sincere question: If this is true then why haven’t the popes condemned this society or their theology as heretical? Why leave us all in suspense. Only the proper church authorities can clarify this issue. Full disclosure, I attend TLM in my parish in Ave Maria, FL. I do not attend SSPX.
