If Candlemas Day be dry and fair, the half o’ winter’s to come and mair.
If Candlemas Day be wet and foul, the half o’ winter’s gane at Yule.

Oh well. At least it’s a pretty day.

I think it’s actually easier for religious. But parishes are where I think the culture is killing the church

I think the question now might be shaped:
in an era where clergy are no longer the most educated members of their communities, how do we adjust culture to a world with overlapping expertises and shared coresponsibility, when we have constructed everything around singular authority & power.

Historically, probably the most common Christian position.

Take a minute today to read @jonathanrheaps.bsky.social 's latest, an application of Lonergan to the present moment. As always, worth your attention www.commonwealmagazine.org/heaps-jonath...

Twentieth-century Apostles Who is an apostle? While the New Testament seems to only include Paul with the Twelve, many passages expand the meaning. It is that expanded meaning that Phyllis Zagano uses to name twelve apostles fr...

Not a primary source, but the chapter on her in @phylliszagano.bsky.social ‘s 20c Apostles book has worked well for me in the past.

I think this is it:

I seem to remember a podcast where some of this got hashed out 😉

And: if we take monotheism seriously, to ask how much is human and how much divine is a fundamental category error, for it makes “human” and “divine” belong to the same category in the same way.

Also quite a few former English District (LCMS) parishes that were AELC then ELCA are high church / evangelical Catholic.

Oh. I bet you could 😜

Next thing we know they’ll be rediscover Thomas on to the “magisterium of the university” 🙃

It’s wild how the world is just totally realigned.

Here is the NC Register holding up theologians as experts against the DDF as if they think that the theologians might have something to say.

The framing of this article made me gasp, Anne!

Uh- isn’t this Poutine?

Dear Fr Prior,
I write to you in accordance with chapter 30 of the Rule of our Holy Father Benedict.

Br Paphnutius, having demonstrated that he have but the wits of a child, has opened himself to general correction. But as nothing should be done without the permission of the superior, I write…

The most Jesuit of traits 😊

There’s a story about an old monk from a community of my acquaintance who had his own recipe for “Epiphany Water” and would sell the bottles (but not the water) at craft fairs all over the county.

Yeah this particular piece of logic. absolutely happens all over the place.

Lots of parishes have holy water dispensers somewhere too (that are free) since some families keep a holy water stoup by the door at home

@welcome-to-united.bsky.social

Back from an excellent board meeting for the Collegeville Institute. Excited to see where our new leadership is going to take us! Thanks to United Sem of the Twin Cities for hosting!

Yeah. On board for that. Though you don’t need revelation for that. (Since that’s more internally human than “God exists”. And the Catholic tradition at least insists that “God exists” is knowable by natural reason.

There’s a huge distance between “Jesus is Lord” and “Jesus is homoousious with the Father”. And that difference is precisely the development of doctrine.

And as to whether a miracle produces knowledge from faith- sure. But knowledge of what? That the miracle happened, ok. Of a particular dogma in its particularity, it even a doctrine, probably not

So- revelation is, as Thomas points out, received by various people. There are two terms to revelation (by and to) And quidquid recipitur ad modem recipientis recipitur. So it wouldn’t be received the same by all definitionally. Complexity of a simple creator and a composite creation.

Oh yes. 💯

Also- side point- but these guys don’t really want truth. They want to be able to fight and win. Which isn’t “caring about the truth” at all.

It is the academy I was introduced to though. And thankfully one there’s alternatives to- because of women and queer and just less-toxic-dude academics
