I’ll say it, I much prefer this #NFLDraft format. I don’t need to see a bunch of obnoxious super fans reacting in an over crowded theater, I’d much rather see families gathered at home, much better story.

Also, for what it’s worth. March 27, when #PopeFrancis blessed the world #urbietorbi, was the day that #Covid deaths began to definitively decline in #italy. Correlation ≠ causation, but it’s a fun fact for those inclined to #magical religion like #Vigano and @TaylorRMarshall
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 24, 2020
2) The #Church only gives a “nihil obstat” to private revelations like Marian Apparitions, contrary to what some might tell you, you don’t need to believe in the reports from #fatima to be #Catholic, the Church has simply said that nothing there contradicts the faith.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 24, 2020
As an expert on popular devotion, I have 2 thoughts on the Vigano interview: (1) We’ve all known about this so called “new” secret he supposedly “revealed” today, many people actually said that the Urbi et Orbi of #popefrancis on March 27th evoked that vision for them. 1/2

It’s at the discretion of both the local bishop (first approval) then it goes, with his sponsorship to the Congregstion for Divine Worship. New Evangelization also has some authority over the major shrines as well, but that’s fairly recent.

A call to others, as a call to serve with #Christ, gets too easily reduced to a slogan, and can neglect the wildness of holistic call that’s really underneath the incarnation. End of thought/rant.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 19, 2020
Random #theology thought: I think that often enough in #Jesuit circles we forget that absolute otherness is holiness, & that there is a deeper eschatological pull behind “Men and Women for others,” that we surrender to a temporal reduction which is merely “nice or socially just.”

One of the sadder things about the #Covid19 #outbreak is the way that it seems to remove the privacy around death. Those who are left behind and are grieving seem to feel strangely compelled, understandably so, to qualify if the #coronavirus did or didn’t kill a loved one.

Apologies Steve for having placed you in the same class as @TaylorRMarshall, we don’t agree on many things but at least there’s usually a spirit of charity, and an understanding of mutual love for Christ in our conversation, and there’s a conversation. He deals in detraction.

I don’t agree with #Obama on some extremely important things, like abortion, but damn if it isn’t nice to hear someone speak in a way that actually sounds presidential, which is to say with civility in the spirit of the common good, about the #COVID19 #Pandemic.

Just a quick reminder that many parishes rely on weekend collections to keep the lights on, the buildings kept up and, most importantly to keep lay employees paid. #Easter makes up a big part of that. So, if you had the means, remember to support your local faith community.

The Church teaches the value of a “Baptism of Desire.” That is, one who wishes to be baptized but can’t, still receives the grace of the sacrament. This weekend I guess we’re practicing “Forgiveness of Desire ” and “Eucharist of Desire.” God can save outside of the sacraments.

No I’m saying we can’t necessarily look at him as a genuinely “pro-life” candidate if his actions display a wanton disregard for human life. I’m not campaigning for either side, but it seems one can no longer, in good conscience, vote for trump on that issue alone.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 10, 2020
When there’s clearly documented evidence that #trump didn’t take this seriously when he had advanced warning, that he stopped Universities and Hospitals from developing tests early on, and that he disregarded Bush and Obama administration contingencies for this, he’s culpable.

Yeah, if you read my response I’ve also said that the Bush administration, which was hardly leftist, would’ve done a better job. Clearly you’re just ideologically for Trump, so I’ll stop responding now.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 10, 2020
Maybe to let the Hosptial and University labs make tests, as they did in Germany where the death rate is much lower, which is something his administration stopped? That’s what I’d have had him do.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 10, 2020
Do we have evidence that the governments of either Italy or Spain had an emergency preparedness plan that the administration of either country threw out? Because we have that with Trump.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 10, 2020
Didn’t say I I believe China but half a million infections, when there’s documented evidence that the administration ignored the advice left behind by another conservative administration, ie Bush, makes clear that the problem is leadership.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 10, 2020
Yeah, how many times have you marched for life in DC? I’ve done it a ton. I hate abortion, and I also hate #Trump’s wanton disregard for life.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) April 10, 2020
Oh to be clear, I don’t. But half a million infections and potentially 60,000 lives is way too many when there’s clearly documented evidence that #trump knew this was likely to happen (both the Bush and Obama administrations said so) and ignored their advice.

There was a report on the major news outlets today that several hospital and university labs were moving ahead with producing the tests the US so badly needs, but were stopped by the administration.

Yes, but we had some things the Chinese didn’t have. We had advanced warning, an actual playbook worked up under the Obama administration, and university and hospital labs that were willing to do their part for testing, all of which were stopped by the current administration.

If @TaylorRMarshall is obstinately to sewing the seeds of dissension and destruction of communio within the #Catholic Church, maybe he shouldn’t be allowed to receive communion?

Has anyone thought to petition @BishopBurns for a formal censure of a member of his diocese? It seems that the scandal he’s caused, the crimes he’s committed, and the division that @TaylorRMarshall has preached should be sufficient to invoke some sort of canonical remedy. https://t.co/LQwV3d4lT1

dr. taylor marshall, phd: *finances hit job against Vatican property, undermines the Pope’s teaching, and scandalizes the faithful without being excommunicated*
me: maybe i’m trying too hard
Thanks All for your prayers! It went well, I think. One exam down, two to go!

Hey @JohnTory, if we’re all supposed to #StayHome in #Toronto, could you at least get construction sites to stop the all day jackhammering in the neighborhoods we’re confined in? Thanks a bunch! #COVID19

I have my first comprehensive exam today towards my PhD in theology. If you could, in your charity, spare a Hail Mary for me I’d be most grateful!
