I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So, he wholesale welcomed this particular group back without knowing the holocaust denier's beliefs.

He had to have known. My officemate, when he heard that the people from this particular group were bring brought back in, responded with, "Oh, that crazy Holocaust-denial guy is going to get in the news with this one." If random American Catholic knows, then the Pope knows.

Punishingly Intricate

The text today is about the inauguration, but I don't get the connection with being a woman either.

His point is that he would have effed up giving the oath even worse than Roberts did.

Right because none of this will offend any Catholics. (JZ's eyes shoot deathrays at me for that one.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I went to a medical office, got what I needed without problem , and the people I encountered were polite and helpful.

In my world, seeing the positive is the new black.

Oh, well, American Catholics, what do you know, with your thinking you can decide things for yourself and asking questions and all that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I can't... I can't even engage in any of this right now. Jumping from one of the earlier links, I just found out that a priest whose works I've known of and admired for just about ever, just probably one of the best and most kind and joyful and passionate people to walk the earth, was excommunicated right before Christmas for participating in the ordination of a woman. And either the news was suppressed because my local diocese just didn't want to begin to deal with it, or it was news and I never heard about it because I was too wrapped up in petty family shit. Either way, I'm feeling slightly ill and brainlessly, heartbrokenly flailing right now.

The Australian bishop on the radio last night said differently. It was beyond strange listening to the program where the guy denied the existence of gas chambers. I can get, don't agree, but at least there might be an argument if it was quibbling over numbers, but to say those things didn't even exist is just mind boggling.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

there was a group of bishops who were ordained (?) without the blessing of the pope, and so they were excommunicated.

They are adherents of the French rightwing conservative Bishop Lefebvre who started his own little offshoot of the Catholic Church called the Society of St. Pius X. Mel Gibson's dad is a big fan of the group, IIRC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need your worldview.

I'm waiting on a call from one of my doctors to tell me the ER will administer the procedure he's been pitching for months and months. Then maybe I can justify another visit.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga reminds me of my FTM cousin. Very distracting.

I swear, me cheering you on in the Australian Open is toxic. So many of my people have been knocked out, or are struggling to stay in.

Oh, JZ, that's so stressful and awful.
