In our latest podcast, Patrick Holden and John Sauven discuss the need for large corporations and governments to drive the shift our #FoodSystems so desperately need - rather than pinning the responsibility onto consumers.

Lord have mercy. I don't think I can find a justification for continuing to post her music, even if it is to show that it is a form of propaganda.

Sooo if I made a podcast called “Recovering Catholic” where I unpack religious trauma & discuss my beef with the “conventional church” ... would you guys listen??

What Is the Grammar Here?

During these days, the Church enters into the great meditation of the Lord's Passion. The suffering Christ is present in the person of the poor, the excluded, the sick, the hungry, those who bear the mystery of the cross with Him. #HolyWeek

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) March 29, 2021

Is "those who bear the mystery of the cross with Him" an apposition for "the poor, the excluded, the sick, the hungry," or is it the final noun in a list?

In Latin the meaning is more clean, but so is the error. The poor, the excluyded, the sick, the hungry do not bear the mystery of the Cross with Christ simply because they suffer but because they have already been incorporated in Christ.

His diebus incipit Ecclesia magnam Passionis Domini contemplationem. Christus miser adest in paupere, in derelicto, in aegro, in esuriente, qui mysterium Crucis cum Eo gerit. #HebdomadaSancta

Oligarchs v. Oligarchs

Some or all are aware of peak oil; some know that it is important to their bottom line to keep the fossil fuel industries afloat. Others seek to weaken the fossil fuel industries because... ? They're woke and stupid? Or they have another agenda...

In the 5 years since the Paris Agreement, the world’s 60 biggest banks have financed fossil fuels to the tune of $3.8 trillion. https://t.co/x4FylC8gfa

Tyranny Is a Form of Rebellion Against G*d

Technocratic society, far from being a liberal civilization, represents the extreme type of conservative despotism in its Western and no longer Eastern form – that is, completely freed from the idea of a spiritual authority.

— Augusto Del Noce (@AugustoDelNoce) March 29, 2021

Of course this could be understood in accordance with Latin integralism, with the pope being a manifestation of spiritual authority. But I reject Latin integralism on that point.

Civility Does Matter

But so does having appropriate responses to aggressive members of other tribes. "Individuals" need to find their tribe; civic nationalism is dead.

Why Should an Ukrainian Catholic Presbyter Care?

“CBC seems acutely sensitive to how bad the optics are: Cancelling its sole Asian-Canadian show, which is still pulling in an average of 618,000 viewers, replacing it with one built around its lone white featured player, created by the white co-showrunner” https://t.co/iEmK7rfsns

Hitching Their Wagon to a Lame Horse

Roman Catholics need to stop investing themselves and their fortunes in urban mass population centers. We are undergoing imperial collapse, and this is just malinvestment.

Go get 'em, Thomas W. Carroll. Classical education is the way forward. The Boston Archdiocese is leading/showing the way. Schools can be Catholic, Protestant, other faiths, interfaith, non-sectarian. The key: students critically engaging "the best that has been thought and said." https://t.co/TNvDmq9sbU
