It's Really More of the Same Old

mistaken notions of lay leadership...

A big change coming from the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy.

After 50 years, we are focusing for the foreseeable future on the intellectual and professional formation of Catholics who will be leaders in the next stage of liturgical renewal...https://t.co/DOKM28bub5 https://t.co/kA4AAekfbD

Cringe Cucking

It does not relieve Joe Biden of a scintilla of responsibility for his appalling behavior to acknowledge that Donald Trump--who was supposed to be the great deal maker--made a bad, irresponsible deal with the Taliban. Let's fully tell the truth about both. https://t.co/ylP4IhnmKi

Getting serially unnecessary, ineffective, unsafe experimental mRNA or DNA injections has nothing to do with solidarity, but everything with delusion and/or stupidity. Moreover, if you have injected your (grand)children, you are completely irresponsible!https://t.co/h2j8vwWKUr

Being a Geek Isn't Enough

It's worth noting that Ashraf Ghani was one of the best and the brightest. He was one of the world's leading experts on... failed states and how to rebuild them. This 2016 @newyorker profile of Ghani is a fascinating read, knowing what we know now https://t.co/CPpUYrlMmS

More Catholic Feminism

My ‘Dog Days’ Blues: Tension, realism, and the 2023 Synod on synodality by Sister Renée Mirkes:

I was viscerally heartened by what I viewed as an opportunity to weave the “Feminine Genius” into the fabric of the Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops. First, with the choice of a consecrated religious woman to not only serve as an Undersecretary but to also cast a deliberative vote alongside the bishops. And, second, by the choice of a Sister from my own congregation to assist in the Secretariat’s preparations and execution of the October 2023 Synod.

I had explicit confidence that realized synodality—lay men and women united with their respective bishops, and the college of bishops united with and under the Pope all traveling together (sun) on the same path (hodos), the salvific road of Jesus, joyfully proclaiming His “good news” that anyone who believes in Him may not die but may have eternal life—would garner a rich harvest of ecclesial revitalization. Just what the doctor ordered.

The Gift that Keeps Giving

That reality freaked out millions of White Christians who do not see “their America” as predominate. It was never “theirs” to begin with, and the assumption that something is amiss if White Christians are not in charge is the essence of white supremacy and Christian nationalism

Jung Was Right Sometimes

"The mass State has no intention of promoting mutual understanding & the relationship of man to man; it strives, rather, for atomization, for the psychic isolation of the individual. The more unrelated individuals are, the more consolidated the State becomes & vice versa.”

With the Fires Raging in Greece

it may be a chastisement for the Greeks becoming neo-pagans.

…as an example because at this time we identified as Roman, not Hellenic / Greek because to be Roman was to be a man of God and to be Hellenic / Greek was to be a pagan. This continued all the way into the 1800s until around the time of the birth of modern Greece in 1821…

Milbank Is Correct Re: True Aristocracy

We need a more truly aristocratic aristocracy (a Platonic-Aristotelian one of honour and virtue not wealth) not a finally complete embourgoisement as prelude to a socialism never likely to come.
