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


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

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.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

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

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.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

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.”

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

RT @philipgporter: me: *scrutinizing my own work to ensure i remain within the bounds of orthodoxy* 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!
