They’ve lost the plot on tradition and therefore what is “traditional,” it’s very frustrating. Read ANY pope discussing THE POOR.

Well, yeah, obviously he’d be right there

The Brig would never work with ICE, though

I think that’s probably right. He certainly doesn’t have Francis’s habit of spontaneous and not always well thought out chats with the press, but on the whole I think that’s probably a good thing.

Lots of countries have better outcomes for less money than the US. And I also think @keakealani.bsky.social was being ironic.

Love Blue Jays, though for such a brightly coloured birds they can be surprisingly hard to see. Unless they're on a feeder, of course.

He's got to be aware of the types who (inexplicably) had decided he was going to represent a break with Pope Francis's approach to things. And he evidently wants to put them right.

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: Christians who “dismiss or ridicule charitable works, as if they were an obsession on the part of a few and not the burning heart of the Church’s mission, convinces me of the need to go back and re-read the Gospel, lest we risk replacing it with the wisdom of this world.”

grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life

Weird mossy shape is about the best I can muster at the moment

Love the way Powerpoint will tell me "sorry, we have no design ideas for this slide" when I've literally just added a new blank slide and not put anything on it yet.

You'd think it went without saying, and yet, here we are.

Normal people consider being anti-fascist during the Weimar Republic to be a sign of a) good moral character and b) prescience.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

In other news Charlie Redmayne, the long serving CEO of HC in the UK, resigned yesterday.

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Part of the problem with a lot of discussion of booze policy is it conflated the social problem of people scrapping in the street with the health problem of excessive drinking, which mostly happened at home.

I still think we should clip the damnatory clauses off (there is good patristic precedent; the original text of the Nicene Creed ended with anathemas), but I am getting THIS close to changing my mind....

And some more for luck.

I dunno, I didn't expect to spend so much of my forties getting mad at so-called conservative Christians who can't get basic tenets of the faith of the undivided Catholic Church right. I'm going to end up arguing for recitation of the Athanasian Creed on all the days the BCP specified.

Yeah, it does, but it's striking he doesn't even manage to quote a very basic text correctly.

Oh, I believe you

But it probably tapers off as it goes?
