Western Jesuits Improving and Expanding Novitiate Buildings

Generations Campaign Celebration at Jesuit Novitiate



Why? Just more to sell when the California province (in the process of combining with the Oregon province) dwindles down to nothing. "God will not be mocked."

Some may say that this is another example of Russian Orthodox hypocrisy, the establishment of Russian Orthodox parishes in the West while protesting the presence of Catholic churches in Russia. Church premises of two new parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate consecrated in Spain

Tried South Winchester BBQ tonight, comparable to Smoking Pig, but a bit more expensive. $3 for
fountain drinks! I tried the St. Louis ribs and tri-tip salad; both were decent for this area. (Though tri-tip apparently can be done at home rather easily and well; alas I'm not cooking for an army or a familyi.)

Somehow, the consequences of Renée Zellweger's plastic surgery isn't as obvious in the trailer?

Saw a overview of the last few episodes of season 1 of Outlander; the visually younger male lover Jamie Fraser reveals to the main character Claire that he was raped/sodomized by the villain, "He made love to me." What sort of normal man says that? And to what part of female nature do the wording, act, and degradation appeal? Sounds like a twisted uhmerican BSDM version of Bishōnen. (You wouldn't hear a fictional woman character using those words to describe what her rapist had done, would you?)

Would normal women have difficulties respecting a man who experiences sodomy during his captivity?

What is the source of this exaggerated emphasis on the humanity of Christ? Some trend in Latin Christianity (early or medieval)? Loss the supernatural in Protestantism? The "subjective turn" of modernity? Modernism? Or just the loss of faith in the West (or in this case, Ibero-America, for the writer-director, Rodrigo Garcia)?

Maren Morris - My Church


The replacement of Christianity by the passive consumption of mass-marketed music, even if it's country music, is not a good thing, and not a worthy way of celebrating country music.
