It's always hard to say how much. individual actions like this can be traced back to the Pope, but I have definitely noticed the rank-and-file priesthood *acting* like they know he's going to back them up 100%

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Dad left this afternoon . Just now, Sarah, almost asleep in bed next to me (it's nap time), heaving a giant sigh: "Your father. I have to go measure something." (He's planning her next garden for her)

(I grew up in a small NJ diner/lunch counter type place, at the end of one of the NYC commuter train lines. Our breakfast rush started with the train staff at 4AM.)

Part of the reason it's so popular is that's almost exactly how long an egg takes to cook on the grill, so you're not standing around waiting for the bacon to cook -- even during breakfast rush you can get people out the door in under five minutes from order!

The whole point of Taylor ham is that places slice it super thin (and then cut slits in the sides so it doesn't curl up) and fry it on the commercial griddle just long enough to heat through and brown it slightly

One of those things you will fight your neighbors to the death over, but if an outsider sticks their nose in, you are immediately united by your sheer overwhelming visceral "well, neighbors are wrong but we can at least all agree THAT PERSON IS MORE WRONG"
