@SamanthaYanity Agreed. But without the rampant excess and fascism.

Can we all just agree not to use “roaring 20s,” since the last time we did it ended in Economic depression and the rise of global fascism? https://t.co/rQd8Spf1qb

Also, can we just agree on a moratorium on the use of that phrase for anyone who hasn’t read the original speech? Thanks.

A genuine pet peeve for me is when #Jesuit institutions use “men and women for others,” which was a call by Servant of God Pedro #Arrupe to radical #solidarity with the #crucified #christ, in fundraising materials implying that giving money is the same thing. #JustSaying https://t.co/hzVto2fx0J

Looking at #wedding cards from #hallmark and the like reveals how bad, or at least how paltry, our popular imagination is around #marriage and the #theology behind it.

@catholickungfu A good St Patrick movie that went all in on the stories of him battling demons on tops of mountains and throwing them into lakes, turning into a deer to escape the pagan king, etc.. that’d be something

@BCDreyer If you look at the dialogues of Gregory the great there is an ancient precedent for this. Though Marley wouldn’t be redeemed in the robust sense, this would really be more him working out his own issues by helping Scrooge. If he’s in purgatory, then he’s already redeemed.

RT @ShaneClaiborne: When people hear us talk of casting the mighty from their thrones and raising the lowly... of filling the hungry with good things while sending the rich away empty... Inevitably, some will say, “That sounds like socialism.” But we will remind them... it is the Gospel of Luke.
