Google Wrecks Christmas Daniel Penny, Luigi Mangione, and the Dumpster Fire of our Vanity

"Personally, I found that clip of Penny explaining that he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if anything had happened to any of the people on the train astonishing. Remember when that was what everyone expected men to say?" Anne Kennedy annekennedy.substack.com/p/google-wre...

A church in “inexorable decline” Anne Kennedy | There is little hope that a new archbishop of Canterbury will turn things around for the Church of England

“Felix Was Alarmed” A sermon on Acts 24:22-27 by The Rev. Matt Kennedy from November 24, 2024 Downloadable audio file

Let Felix be a warning to those who sit and listen Sunday after Sunday. You say, I'll have look into this Jesus one day. But Maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll die before you do.

Anglicans cannot be Marxists: "The Riches and Goods of Christians are not common, as touching the right, title, and possession of the same...Notwithstanding, every man ought, of such things as he possesseth, liberally to give alms to the poor, according to his ability." Article 38 of the 39 Articles

Obvs way fwd is to Admit Jesus is King In Which I Try To Help The Church of England Find A Way To Solve All Its Problems

"And this is just what we know best—for the lie of the Beast was that each of us could rule ourselves. The King, if he even exists, is far away and of no account. He made this beautiful world, but his thoughts about it are not nearly as consequential as ours" annekennedy.substack.com/p/obvs-way-f...

He sadly has become apostate

Richard Hays Changes His Mind About Sexuality and God: A Review of 'The Wideness of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story' - Christian Research Institute

“Remarkable in its absence is any discussion of the reason for Christ’s death on the cross. Somehow, God’s mercy, which appears to increase in its outflow through the Scriptures, is not related to any particular event, nor a quality within God.” Anne Kennedy www.equip.org/articles/ric...

Richard Hays Changes His Mind About Sexuality and God: A Review of 'The Wideness of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story' - Christian Research Institute

Here’s Anne’s review www.equip.org/articles/ric...

He got us. Time to pack it in. The Bible sits on a throne of lies. Because as any reader of the OT will tell you, the prophets uniformly praise Israel and Judah for their faithfulness to one God whereas Yonatan Adler has shown us that in fact they chased after many other gods.

The girl athlete who wants to use her locker room

Snow White and the Death of the Movies How Rachel Zeigler Should Go To Church

"My child thought I should blog about Rachel Ziegler. Perhaps it's that watching take-down videos of her bad behavior has become a guilty pleasure. Also, I feel sorry for her. She needs a mother and a fashion designer who will put her in longer skirts." annekennedy.substack.com/p/snow-white...

Media analysis of the election so far:
"Dumb poors put lower milk and gas prices ahead of the right of men pretending to be women to expose themselves in women's bathrooms and the right of women to murder their babies just before they're born. Why are they so stupid and selfish?"

Does the Bible Dictate Clothing Style by Gender? Cross Dressing and the Gender Binary - Christian Research Institute

No it wasn’t just talking about temple prostitution www.equip.org/articles/doe...

"A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 22:5

Dignity and Respect How 2024 Continues to Be the Worst Timeline

"So, it seems that the House of Representatives has one among its members who is a man who believes himself to be a woman. And this person, wouldn’t you know, would prefer to use the ladies’ facilities in those august halls of power." Anne Kennedy annekennedy.substack.com/p/dignity-an...

So, a real victim of injustice, like the black girl who’s been told she can’t drink from the water fountain because she’s black is weirdly slotted into the same category as the man pretending to be a woman who’s been told he can’t shower in the women’s locker room because he’s a man. 2/2

Untethered empathy makes no distinction between a person who’s hurt because she’s been treated unjustly and a person who’s hurt because her attempts to treat others unjustly have been rebuffed 1/2

always a good strategy

Oh look

God, it seems, has given us a reprieve. The lgbtq ideology no longer packs the power it once packed. Even career politicians can say that biology determines gender without fear. But if we don’t the rush breach and cleanse the house, the demons will return with 7 of their friends

My guess is that Bluesky will be the next Threads. A lot of hype and excitement. Then crickets…then the quiet filter back to X. Echo chambers don’t usually survive that long because they’re boring. We’ll see.

For my new followers, check out my most recent essay on “Feminine Courage.” I’m hoping it can provide some inspiration to celebrate and honor the heroic vocation of motherhood and the courageous task of bringing life into this world.

Merry Christmas In Which Vox Melts Down
