But what did he mean by that?

I don't know which was more Catholic about my morning: actually forgetting that you're kneeling and not sitting during Mass (my church's kneeling benches are pretty comfy tho) or shooting the poo poo with a bunch of priests at breakfast afterwards and gossiping about other religious orders (“Yeah, their theology is pretty weird“) :v:

My priest said Jesuits are all crazy.

But then you learn that they spend (give or take one) sixteen years in the world of academia, so it checks out.

Can we institute a worldwide ban on decontextualized Bible citations? I've seen several pop up on my Facebook feed over the past week, and it seems to me to be the height of insufferable, insular Christian virtue signaling. it's entirely legitimate to want to share a passage of scripture that's touched you, but holy poo poo at least do your audience the courtesy of writing it out rather than making them do the work of looking it up. It's like the Christian version of posting sad song lyrics after your breakup.

Oh, yeah, I should say that the satirical article is based on something that happened before. Matthew 19:6 on a wedding invitation got turned into Matthew 9:6 and nobody caught the error before it went to print.

"But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house." welp that marriage looks to be off to a rocky start already.

I would feel awkward making fun of this, if for no other reason than because in another life I'd love to use it to suggest that all demands for servitude and submission are of the devil. :devil:

Nerding out about art history has been interesting.

In the Bible, John the Baptist (also sometimes called John the Forerunner by Eastern Orthodox churches since he was the Forerunner of Christ, and John the Baptizer by the Church of Christ because Baptist is a denomination and we can't have that, and also the Mormons teach that he appeared to Joseph Smith in the flesh) is a hard-rear end dude. He's an Essene who lives in the wilderness, eats locusts, wears clothes made out of camel hair, tells everyone to repent and baptizes them in the Jordan.

So let's see how this bad mammajamma gets represented in art.



yeahh boy you got that camel hair on ya, and you look kinda sad but I'm sure that's only because the artists knew the horrifying death you'd die



whoa you've been upgraded to Angel of The Desert status, sorry about looking like a twisted crow monster but this is still in the first millennium and people aren't so hot at drawing stuff yet, maybe they'll get it right in the next!

let's see what the Renaissance has in store for John the Baptist!



Caravaggio I'm pretty sure this is not Biblically accurate; like that dude ate locusts and stuff but I think he knew how to wear clothes and also he was Jewish.

:nws:

this caravaggio guy can't be that bad right?

quote:

He had frequent brushes with the police, got into trouble for throwing a plate of cooked artichokes in the face of a waiter in a tavern, and made a hole in the ceiling of his rented studio, so that his huge paintings would fit inside. His landlady sued, so he and a friend pelted her window with stones.

Can I ask for you guys's prayers? My husband's anxiety meds stopped working the week before he was fired from a job he hated, and now he's jobhunting, something that always makes him anxious, right before the Xmas holidays when most companies aren't trying to hire. His doctor is prescribing a sub-clinical dose of one SSRI to taper him off the previous SSRI, and won't update the dose until next month for medical reasons. He's running on rims at the moment. Thanks.

One time at Christian camp they were having kids write bible verse citations on white cards and taking selfies with the hashtag for the camp. I of course, being the noble leader that I am, let my kiddos write the reference for the horse cock verse on their cards and post the photos. When I saw all the photos in a slide show on the jumbo tron I thought for sure we were going to get the boot. No one said anything. TL;DR Episcopalians really don't know their Bibles that well, the jokes are true.
