Been there. Done That. Weak is supposedly the way God wants us (I'm not so clear on that, but that's what the smart people tell me). Stable is an illusion. (Very clear on that one) Like I said. Hang tough. Button up. Do what you have to do to get though. And then, indulge yourself...

Lady: I've been recalcitrant in getting back to you because, well, personal stuff that's not important here. Maybe I should DM this. I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for you in this situation. I wish I was there so I could wrap my big [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] arms around you and hold you and let you...

Being a (minor) polticial operative in the DFL I can tell you that Minnesota doesn't have the money to make up the difference. Also, to my knowledge the State of Minnesota is not currently asking the federal goverment of any funds for any reason. Also, Minneapolis needs no reconstruction. The...

Ok am I the only one who thinks it’s apt that this piece of art was made by someone named ‘schmaltz’?

These are things I don't really get concerned with. Astrology has only been around since the Zoroastrians, and for centuries an event wasn't important unless and until the Zoroastrian Priests showed up and claimed to have foreseen it. Matthew didn't put the Zoroastrians into the birth of...

No man - Memorial Day is about trophy wives and picking up scrap lumber. Ask anyone.

I wasn't coming back, I wasn't. But I lurk. Like the addict I am. I couldn't let this pass. I don't know who Marcus Peter is, and honestly, don't care. But this sermon on Joe Biden can't go unchallenged. Let's unpack: Yeah Marcus ? Why? Joe is a private citizen at the moment, retired...

....and I hate to be a lair. It's been a slice of heaven. But now that Southside Bobby has been installed as the leader of the Redmen, I'll take my leave. @CaDan, @Davidnc, good to see you both upright and breathing. DM me some time and we'll catch up. @RileyG, @chevyontheriver always good...

Riles: I'm not here to start an argument. I'm just going to make a flat, factual, historical statement. I spent most of 2024 studying the history of monotheism from Zoroastrianism to modern atheism (which is considered part of the history of monotheism btw) and I came away with a few...

MEGA (snowflakes that they are) is taking this as a personal affront. Like the Congress of Cardinals cares what they think, let alone took them into account. Vance is a Catholic of convince and thinks like an Evangelical. (Besides, he killed Francis somehow) Whatever. All I have to...

Spoken like a TLMer

Order of St Augustine Missionaries Educators They're all wicked smart I didn't think they'd elect another member of a service order again God I'm proud of the.

If he had been born in Detroit the betting sites would be giving odds on that. But Chicago is more drunken riot and senseless violence. my kIndia town

If you live ANYWHERE close to the American midwest Chicago WILL be off the rails this weekend. Party time

Chicago guy aint that a kick in the head if I heard it right Pope Leo

Watching News Vatican City has it good clothes on today

Oh, white smoke. Really thought they’d need one more day

I am sooooo sick of hearing this. No one I know what's the TLM back. In the real world, the laity never even talks about it. The only people keeping this alive are some annoyed clerics and their Internet presence. As a person who remembers the TLM it was basically an empty experience for...

The underlying problem is the lack of priests trained/willing to actually perform a TLM. Look, as a practical matter it's been obsolete for, what, 4 generations now ? It's just not something that can be commonly found. Further, it's not commonly requested. Outside the odd parish here and...

I am not a stone cutter but... ...I know granite can have faults and cracks, forcing cutters to place letters and artwork out of ideal placement. Maybe the stone was imperfect. But it is noticeable. I'm leaving it to others to decide on replacement or not, but since this is a tourist...
