Y'know, I tell myself sometimes that I should read the documents of Vatican II, but I've already got so much on my plate. Right now I'm something like 1/8th of the way through Don Quixote.

Lol, SSPX is about jews? What chodes.

I'm not a fan of my local church, so I tend to listen to Sunday mass over internet radio. They do it from different churches erry time, and let me tell you, I'll take Latin and organs over Lithuanian and guitars.

A few years before the events of Spotlight took place, I was sexually abused by an older, non-religious family member, and it was a Catholic deacon and his church lady wife who were among the first to tell me that what happened to me was abuse, and that it wasn't my fault.

I don't think of it as a bad avatar. It may have been given to me in mockery, but I happen to like Catholicism, stylized black & white imagery, and swing sets. And it doesn't come with an angry red caption, either.

Regardless, the story behind Spotlight is not one to be ignored or avoided, even if those events were perpendicular instead of parallel to my own.

That's nice and generous of you, thank you, but I would only want it changed if it bothered other people. SA is not a safe space, but I don't need to be unintentionally making it less safe.

edit: In a related story, after the allegations and lawsuits regarding clergy sex abuse and cover-up scandal, it became my parish's policy (and possibly the policy of the entire archdiocese) that adults have to be in groups of at least two when working with children. I think it's a pretty good policy for any adult who spends a lot of time around kids.

Looks like a crook to me. Legit healers won't ask for more after they are already done taking an old lady for all that she got, in my experience. Dude's an Ethiopian Creflo Dollar, which is pretty sad :(

That picture of women in sari prostrating themselves before the picture of Christ is pretty breathtaking, though!

Well I never. The anti-semites were all kicked out along with the 9/11 truthers. I just met a newly ordained SSPX priest who is a convert from Judaism and he has some exceedingly choice words about anti-semitism.

I apologize for the insult, but the fact remains that the SSPX, at least at a high level, does seem to have more to do with arguments over ecumenism and religious liberty than the liturgy per se

doesn't really change the fact that a lot of the most vocal critics of the second vatican coucnil were critical of it specifically because of a, the religious freedom clause, and b, the fact that proselytizing the jews was now discouraged

Careful between those still in the SSPX and those who say that they are "the true SSPX" despite being kicked out for racism etc.

For whoever wanted to read the documents of Vatican II, I suggest the Decree on Social Communication, which is only three pages long, and basically says "The Church recognizes that TV now exists, and people are influenced by it".

Someone who was doing their PhD research on this just visited my parish. I didn't get a chance to talk to her at all, but my wife did and the lady mentioned that exorcisms were virtually unheard of within Orthodoxy in Ethiopia until some pentecostal group came and made it all the rage.

the miracle is shared when we participate in the ritual. moreover, "communion by the eyes" is a medieval thing, it's entirely possible to do it within the rubrics of the old rite--there are reports of elevations lasting up to an hour. You can bring that back if you want.
