The Wisdom of God
Mark 12:18–20
In this Gospel passage, the problem with the Sadducees seems to be scrupulosity and rigidity in their approach to the faith. They clearly relied upon human reason, and they applied their human reason to the Torah. And though human reason and

Today in Labor History June 2, 1975: 100 sex workers occupied that Saint-Nizier church in Lyon to protest against police repression. They demanded that all their convictions be reversed. The police evicted them after a week. However, soon after, a judge cancelled their upcoming prison sentences.

For a religion that talks a great game about love and inclusion, comments like comparing the #Pride Flag to the Nazi flag occur with shocking regularity. It's even more concerning coming from a school trustee, knowing they have the power to make students' lives hell.
It's at the point for me that telling me you're #Catholic is an immediate red flag. Far longer for others.

Today in Labor History May 30, 1431: Teenage peasant soldier and crossdresser, Joan of Ark, was burned at the stake by an English tribunal, in part for the “blasphemy” of wearing men’s clothes. After her arrest, her male attire was taken from her and she was forced to sign a document (which she may not have understood) declaring she would no longer cross dress. But when her captors returned her men’s attire, to test her will, she promptly put the clothes back on. During her trial, she vowed, 'For nothing in the world will I swear not to arm myself and put on a man's dress.'" Twenty-fiver years later, Pope Callixtus III declared her a martyr. In 1909, they beatified her and they granted her sainthood in 1920. She rose to prominence during the Hundred Years’ War, which was essentially a feud between competing monarchies (French and English) that left the peasants poor, hungry and at risk of being slaughtered. England had been winning the war and had almost gained control over France when Joan of Ark decided to intervene. She had been having religious visions and was convinced that only she could turn things around for France. She travelled to Chinon to meet King Charles, disguised as a male soldier, which later led to charges of cross-dressing. Convincing the King to turn the conflict into a religious war, she led his troops in the Battle of Orleans. By many contemporary accounts, it was her military advice that won the battle. However, by her own words, she never killed a man, preferring to carry the banner “forty times better” than a sword. In the centuries after her death, she became legendary.

Two organisations who have sought permanent stays against cases where they've had responsibility for someone who has abused children.
Two organisations who have over the years claimed the moral high ground about children's wellbeing. Two organisations who, if they were run by people who were interested in the wellbeing of victims of predators, would actually not be undertaking the actions they are taking today, in order to protect their assets.
When these organisations speak, remember who they've silenced. When these organisations claim that they are moral and righteous about societal issues, remember who they protected when children were being harmed - it wasn't the children.
When these organisations speak about laws that increase equality or responsibility, remember that they've been attempting to dodge responsibility for decades and will use everything they can to do so.

Go ahead, make a good case for not forcibly dissolving that entire organization, I dare you. All you'll be saying is that those childrens' lives and experiences are worthless.
Illinois's attorney general has released results of an investigation of sexual abuse of minors which finds that Catholic priests have abused many more minors than Illinois Catholic officials have admitted. Investigators find that 451 clergy sexually abused nearly 2,000 children since 1950 — far more than the 103 individuals the church named when the state review began in 2018.

Maybe I'm the wrong audience, but I think these ID card are smart.
In the US, you have to get a letter of suitability every time you go to a different diocese (in theory at least), which wouldn't take all that much to fake if you were the type that would try.
Now, if the requirement was to post your QR outside your confessional or at the entry of the church you're going to celebrate Mass at... That's overkill. #Catholic

2. Cardinal #VincentNichols, was the first #Catholic prelate to actively participate in a coronation since the #Reformation.
#Prideflag is ‘#welcome’ at #Ontario’s #publicly #funded #schools, #education #minister says.
In light of the growing controversy at the #York #Catholic #SchoolBoard in his own riding, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said flying the Pride flag is “a signal of #Respect that is “welcome” in all publicly funded schools.

@amaditalks @Holberg babe, I got you. A #Catholic-themed #MetGala where Lynda Carter wore a tiara that said “Never Forget” in Hebrew, plus a Jewish star in her hair. Icon.
@Holberg I mean If we’re going all out for the #MetGala, the theme of “Heavenly Bodies: #Fashion and the #Catholic Imagination” (yes I looked up the actual theme title) served. Just a few here and I had a lot to choose from. My mother went to the Met’s exhibit and said it was great - in the Medieval section with organ music throughout
My nephew is being confirmed as a #Catholic. He's 14. What is the traditional #confirmation gift??
"It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."

I would like to understand: why would a parish require a Godparent to have proof of taking a baptismal preparation class within the last year?
"That’s how it may look, but Rome’s serial 'mishaps' in this area are neither stupid nor insane. They are about protecting itself above all while obscuring that reality through spin."
"At times it is difficult to believe anything other than that Rome is being willfully stupid when it comes to its dealings with clerical child-sex abuse. This repeated failure, inevitably, prompts recall of Einstein’s much-quoted definition of stupidity, even insanity — doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results."

The woman had fallen into many sins, O Lord,
yet, when she perceived Your divinity,
she joined the ranks of the myrrh-bearing women.
In tears she brought You myrrh before Your burial.
She cried: “Woe is me!
For I live in the night of licentiousness,
shrouded in the dark and moonless love of sin.
But accept the fountain of my tears,
You Who gathered the waters of the sea into clouds!
Bow down Your ear to the sighing of my heart,
O You Who bowed the heavens in Your ineffable condescension!
Once Eve heard Your footsteps in Paradise in the cool of the day,
and in fear she ran and hid herself.
But now I will tenderly embrace those pure feet
and wipe them with the hair of my head.
Who can measure the multitude of my sins,
or the depth of Your judgments, O Savior of my soul?
Do not despise Your servant in Your immeasurable mercy!”
The Hymn of Cassia, plagal fourth mode #Christian #Christianity #Catholic #OrthodoxChristian
Come, O faithful,
let us work zealously for the Master,
for He distributes wealth to His servants!
Let each of us, according to his ability,
increase his talent of grace:
let one be adorned in wisdom through good works;
let another celebrate a service in splendor!
The one distributes his wealth to the poor;
the other communicates the Word to those untaught.
Thus we shall increase what has been entrusted to us,
and, as faithful stewards of grace,
we shall be accounted worthy of the Master’s joy.
Make us worthy of this, O Christ our God,
in Your love for mankind!

I enjoyed the movie Father Stu. It definitely is dramatized—it is a Hollywood movie, not a documentary—but a good watch.
@pillarcatholic wrote a great piece about the real Fr. Stu: https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/meet-fr-stu-the-real-priest-and-true
“While each of those stories is unique, together they reveal themes and behaviors typical of adults who abuse children and those who enable that abuse by concealing it,” Brown told reporters.
“What was consistent throughout the stories was the absolute authority and power these abusive priests and the church leadership held over survivors, their families and their communities.”

"detailing decades of alleged sex abuse by clergy within the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
The investigation found that over 600 young people — from preschoolers to young adults — suffered sexual abuse and “physical torture” by more than 150 clergy members from the mid-1940s to 2002."

But seriously, end organized religion.

"The love of God is not taught. No one has taught us to enjoy the light or to be attached to life more than anything else. And no one has taught us to love the two people who brought us into the world and educated us. Which is all the more reason to believe that we did not learn to love God as a result of outside instruction. In the very nature of every human being has been sown the seed of the ability to love. You and I ought to welcome this seed, cultivate it carefully, nourish it attentively and foster its growth by going to the school of God's commandments with help of His grace."

St. Patrick is Ireland’s main patron saint but did you know he’s 1 of 3?
A medieval historian makes the case for making Ireland’s only woman patron saint, St. Brigid, Ireland's main saint, who unlike Patrick was born in Ireland.

Houston Catholics (along with those in some other major cities) are cleared to eat meat on St. Patrick's Day this year, defying a centuries-old tradition for Catholics to not eat meat on Fridays in Lent.

#Catholic Nonprofit Reportedly Spent $4 Million to Track Gay Priests on Dating Apps https://flip.it/eChTm_

"A group of conservative Colorado Catholics has spent millions of dollars to buy mobile app tracking data that identified priests who used gay dating and hookup apps and then shared it with bishops around the country."

The project’s existence reflects a newly empowered American #Catholic right wing that sees enforcing its interpretation of church teaching on sexuality and gender as an existential issue for the church and that no longer trusts bishops to do so.

"You cannot pray at home, like you can at church, where there is a great multitude; where exclamations are cried out to God as from one great heart, and where there is something more: the unions of minds, the accord of souls, the bond of charity, the prayers of priests."

I love how the intense gaze at her Bible is paired with a energy-glow halo around her head. It’s like the word of god is literally illuminating her.
