My new response as a #catholic priest to the jehovah’s witnesses who routinely stop me when I’m just trying to get on the #TTC to go say #mass somewhere in #Toronto. Thanks @theghissilent... this is both charitable and hilarious. https://t.co/abVz0B2GWK

Pope Benedict XIV has an entire section of this in the 3rd his work “on heroic virtue.” it’s a fun read which also talks about divine intention in such a situation, well worth a read.

Indeed... it’s apparently tucked away in the back right hand corner of the cave. Devotion to those apparitions, which took place immediately after Bernadette’s apparitions, never gained ecclesiastical approval.

Hahah hashtags are fun... and the point of the ecumenical thing is that purgatory is this cool Catholic thing that makes a lot of sense in the economy of mercy.

Actually, as a #theologian that studies at an #ecumenical faculty, I really like the idea of #purgatory. #Gods #grace is, of course, sufficient, but the wiggle room for my silly soul that might need to learn how to better receive it is a comforting thought.
