@srkjan1980 @SteveSkojec Apparently he’s challenging more than a few consciences...


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec No I’ve read your writing, and followed your feed. You’re not a victim just because the Pope uses biblical examples of Christ reproving a certain religious way of thinking that hurt you. Perhaps it is you who should be waking up if you’re offended.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec To be clear, I mean it’s offensive in this particular context.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec Nope, I’ve given you clear answers, both here and earlier. You’re not a victim, and you also need to stop using the language of abuse, it’s offensive.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec My friend, you’re not a victim just because the successor of Peter says things which convict you. Every good pope challenges people, as does Francis.

So there are only technically two holy days of obligation in #Canada (#Christmas and Mary, Mother of God) that doesn’t mean that you can’t go to #mass for #AllSaints though... https://t.co/dmDRJZZZp0

RT @KeytarCatholic: Whether you make it to a Mass or not, go visit a cemetery and pray for the dead between Nov. 1 and Nov. 8. You can gain a plenary indulgence (under the usual conditions) for someone who has died. https://t.co/3HXaj5UY9Y


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

I genuinely worry about people who claim that #PopeFrancis has “weaponized” the Gospel or is a bad pastor when he quotes the #Gospel in ways that convict them. I hope they’re not locked in obstinacy (which comes from pride) and I’m going to make a point of praying for them daily.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec I think you’re wrong on that, it may be that this is the first pope whose words have convicted and challenged you personally, but both St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI didn’t shy away from being direct when they needed to be. Sorry. You’re just wrong on this one Steve.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec Good homilies should speak to the reality of the people of God and yes, sometimes convict us when we’re on the wrong track. That’s not “weaponizing,” that’s just being a good pastor.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec If the Holy Father’s words about Pharisees or the extent of divine love convict you, Steve, then that’s something to bring to your Spiritual Director. The vicar of Christ is allowed to make those statements though.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@SteveSkojec Isn’t it though?

On a random note, as I study I can smell someone cooking with excessive amount sleep of garlic in either my house or the apartment building next door.... It is both making my Italian heart leap for joy, and my Irish brain fear that everything I own will forever smell of garlic. https://t.co/GFXXs1RoS3


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@Ab__Elba @MohenogL Thanks for this! As I suspected, #BenedictXVI affirms the role of the person’s pastor in this. We don’t know if either his local pastor or ordinary have advised him as such, and therefore the priest at the parish he was visiting was wrong In this case.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@Ab__Elba @MohenogL Can I see a reference for that? Thanks!


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@Cat_Painting @AdhucTecumSum It’s good spiritual reading, just take bits at a time.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@Cat_Painting @AdhucTecumSum The Catholic Faith is the fullness of the truth. A thoroughgoing reading of Vatican II might help to understand the particularity of that language.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@AdhucTecumSum @Cat_Painting I’m pretty sure I would agree with that. 😉🤷🏻‍♂️


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@MohenogL And when Benedict acknowledged that Francis was the legitimate pope, how’d that make you feel. Sorry I’m done with this conversation. As usual, you’re lost and I’m praying for you.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@MohenogL Yep. A sede vacantist by any other name...


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@Ab__Elba @MohenogL Application of canonical penalties is still the provenance of the ordinary, regardless of the penalty.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@MohenogL You’re a Sede Vacantist right? (A fancy way of saying Protestant) You’ve self excommunicated anyway... so you would be the expert


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@MohenogL And Biden has not been excommunicated. This priest doesn’t have the authority to do that.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@MohenogL The competent authority to excommunicate Biden would be his local bishop. Since he worships at a parish in DC, that would be achbishop Gregory. My point stands.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

I disagree with Joe Biden on #abortion, but its also clear to me, from Canon 1339 that a parish priest is not the appropriate authority to apply such a penalty. I hope, if true, that the ordinary of this priest admonishes him as such. https://t.co/cmAZEu6PuN

@THBevilacqua @TaylorRMarshall @Michael_Voris And that’s why we all need to remember to speak together, and loudly and proudly say that they don’t speak for us, or the Church. We can’t let the loud voices of a few normalize what’s really some strange forms of docetism and donatism for the rest of us.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@THBevilacqua @TaylorRMarshall Agreed which is why all good #Catholics need to stand up to the likes of both him and @Michael_Voris. We need to say that they don’t speak for the #church and they don’t speak for the vast majority of us. #SinodoAmazonico

@BVMConsolatrix And if I had said “person x” do you really think that #CatholicTwitter wouldn’t have known? Again, like you, I’m always trying to grow in holiness... and that doesn’t prohibit asking real questions which I didn’t imply an answer to.

@mea_maxima @VaticanEdits It was an image meant to represent the life giving waters of the Amazon, not an idol. So yeah, the 7th. Also, the #Pachamama is an Andean, not an Amazonian, concept, so it simply can’t be that. Conflating the two is intellectual dishonesty.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

And that we could really benefit from listening to. Above all... we need to remember that the entirety of the #Catholic Church isn’t the mere provenance of a European/western construct, and never was. 4/4


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

There’s a great wisdom in thinking about #Churches tied to a specific culture that I won’t pretend to have even scratched the surface of in my understanding that the east has. 3/4


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

And just like the statues representing the #Amazon have been a focus of prayer at the synod, so the Coptic church prays for the waters of the Nile at every mass. 2/4


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

I’d really love for the eastern Uniate rites to speak up more during the #amazonsynod. There already are married priests in contexts and cultures where clerical celibacy hasn’t been the tradition. 1/4

@SteveSkojec Those statues are as much a pagan idols as the below image of Apollo is.. that’s all I’ll add or respond. I’ll be praying for the conversion of those who’ve demonstrated ignorance and hatred in this subtweet. https://t.co/gv9NAE0ziW

I wonder if the guys who committed theft & threw what they thought were #Pachamama statues into the #Tiber know that there’s another image that looks an awful lot like the #pagan #god Apollo in #Rome in the catacombs of Priscilla. 🤔🤫#AmazonSynod @TaylorRMarshall @austeni https://t.co/OLZPhqetI4

RT @stevenpmillies: Will be visiting the homes of my #Traditionalist #Catholic friends worried abt #AmazonSynod in December to seize their Christmas trees & hurl them in nearby rivers.

@LarryBrindisi @TaylorRMarshall Clearly you don’t know what you’ve seen. “Laudato si, mi Signore, per sora nostra matre Terra, la quale ne sustenta et gouerna, et produce diuersi fructi con coloriti fior et herba.” #laudatosi I’ll pray for you.

A logic similar to those applauding the tossing of the statues into the Tiber https://t.co/ORmuojfL9e

@LarryBrindisi @TaylorRMarshall Pachamama is not a god. It’s equivalent to Mother Earth in the same way St Francis would use the term in the canticle of the sun. Sorry, you’re out of your depth on this.

@LarryBrindisi @TaylorRMarshall As someone who has done extensive research on Latin American indigenous culture and it’s interaction with Catholicism, I can confirm that these weren’t idols. It’s theft inspired by xenophobia and outright racism.

@TaylorRMarshall You forgot to add that they violated the 7th commandment. You’re actually promoting sin now. https://t.co/XGTGtpuJhS

The likes of @lifesite, @RaymondArroyo, @TaylorRMarshall & the rest should call the situation what it is, if they would presume to moralize as they do. The theft of the statutes from Santa Maria in Transpontina is a violation of the seventh commandment, & a #sin, plain & simple.

You can’t be pro-life and support the massacre of #Kurdish children. Being #Pro-life, as I proudly am, makes supporting any political figure who would sanction such a thing unconscionable. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/YN1sPoyxeF

Watching the news from #boston before heading to sleep in #NewEngland. Every other story has a cranky older gentleman lamenting that things are getting better. Good to be home... 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/QqwUxHdKGt

@HannahBrockhaus It’s not even about the design... I think we need to ask the real question of what Ecclesia is... if we’re the gathering of the people of God, do we form a community that can transform the world better in a big building, or if we actually know each other?

Sometimes you have those #Saints that just sort of follow you, whether you have a deep devotion to them or not. I was sent to the Rosebud Reservation as a novice where there was a devotion to #Kateri, having no devotion of my own. Then I was in #Rome for… https://t.co/ukARiQEWa2 https://t.co/Qr0uFjwZH4
