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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 31, 2019
To be clear, I mean it’s offensive in this particular context.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 31, 2019
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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 31, 2019
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.

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

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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 31, 2019
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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 31, 2019
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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 31, 2019
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.

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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 29, 2019

You’re a Sede Vacantist right? (A fancy way of saying Protestant) You’ve self excommunicated anyway... so you would be the expert
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 29, 2019
And Biden has not been excommunicated. This priest doesn’t have the authority to do that.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 29, 2019
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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 29, 2019
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

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.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) October 27, 2019
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

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.

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.

You forgot to add that they violated the 7th commandment. You’re actually promoting sin now. pic.twitter.com/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 pic.twitter.com/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... 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/QqwUxHdKGt

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 pic.twitter.com/Qr0uFjwZH4

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay, I am privileged to go study theology everyday on the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Missasauguas of the Credit River.

Hahaha I’d say that there’s a certian level of knowledge that the savior has which makes this an irrelevant question
