I was in Berlin recently and visited the German Historical Museum there, and they had these two  exhibits: That's the commander's staff of Cardinal Ascanio Maria Sforza (1455-1505); it doubled as a mace and even had a stiletto hidden in it  Sforza used it when he supported his brother, the duke of Milan, at his attempt to free Milan from French occupation. I don't think that he ever actually bashed any heads in with it, though. And this is a woodcut print from 1520 that was spread as part of a pamphlet condemning indulgences. The devil sits on a letter of indulgence while grasping a money chest and a bishop's crozier in his hands; in his mouth you can see clergymen sitting around a table, while on his head people are walking into purgatory

chernobyl kinsman posted:i didnt go to mass today and i feel bad about it I attended a wedding mass yesterday afternoon (the happy couple were 78 and 76, respectively  ) and when I asked the priest afterwards if that counted as an evening mass and would fulfil my sunday obligation he was like "yeah sure, i guess" so I didn't go either, but don't feel (too) bad about it

StashAugustine posted:i remember a lot of old european cathedrals have a bunch of side chapels dedicated to various big shots who donated money on the condition people would say mass for them, is that a thing with orthodox churches? The baroque loving ruled in this regard (as it did in all others tbqh), St Stephen's cathedral in Vienna for example had 77 altars by the late 18th century iirc on which 150-200 masses were said. Per day

Slimy Hog posted:Can we go back to talking about funny hats? I can offer only one of the three, but I hope it's interesting nonetheless: the semantron is a percussion instrument that's used in many Orthodox monasteries as a call for prayer or during processions. Here's a video of a Romanian monk who plays a pretty mean semantron Also this is more directed at Pellisworth, but I just finished reading this America piece about Black Elk, a Lakota medicine man who went on to become a Catholic teacher and missionary. The local diocese hopes to open up a canonisation process for him. What's your take on the issues raised by some in this regard that this would constitute an appropriation of Lakota culture by the Church? The article also mentions that the Diocese of Rapid City "uses smudging, the Native practice of burning sage or cedar for purification, and the Lakota Four Direction Song at the Chrism Mass". Could you elaborate a bit more on these practices, they sound fascinating? And do the Episcopalians do that as well?

Re: monks and animals, how's this? https://twitter.com/giorgio_karam/status/916874197397397504 https://twitter.com/erlosungen/status/917051329482289153 And finally re: beards, John Calvin admittedly had a pretty badass one https://twitter.com/Joanne_Paul_/status/915252940344107009

I'll be singing Bach's Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes together with the Lutheran parish choir; this is our present to the Protestant congregation here for the 500 year anniversary of the Reformation (a day which has been declared a national holiday, but only this year!)
