Tias posted:my favorite headcanon reaching wide audiences was when Mel Gibson bald-facedly claimed The Passion of the Christ was "a reasonably accurate account of what happened in the last days of Jesus", and then it turned out of to have been more or less cribbed from a pamphlet a Double posting, but the best part about this is that her visions were written down and edited by her confessor, who was later revealed to be a freemason. That really messes with the ultra rad trads.

The Phlegmatist posted:but of course Catholics are bound by Canon Law and the horrors it creates. Old Canon law is awesome. Because you know for every wacky case in there, there was a real case in history that happened, and the Church needed to discourage it from happening in the future. Pellisworth posted:many of the thread Catholics dislike V2 because it removed a lot of traditional liturgy and silly hats Not many silly hats left. Bring them back and make them mandatory. Except Birettas. Those can quietly die. No square hats on round heads please. Father, why do you have a different colored pom pom, this will only end in tears.

The Phlegmatist posted:This is good advice though. Meridian you might want to look for someplace that does the Traditional Latin Mass eventually to experience it. Make sure it's either connected to a diocese or is part of the FSSP or the ICKSP because you get too far beyond that and you start finding places where they start throwing Protestants in the cookpot at the end of Mass (along with the customary Jesuit.) Harumph. I haven't boiled a prot in weeks.

The Phlegmatist posted:Yeah. I pay attention to alt-right Christian circles (warning: do not do this if you have high blood pressure, may be hazardous to health) and Voris has very little traction there. He's just not ecumenical enough, mostly, but also the alt-right likes to style themselves as enlightened thinkers of a new era and geocentricism is pretty strongly in "whoa, buddy are you serious" territory. Voris the darling of the sedevacantists and closet trads, and something called "The Resistance". There's a lot of overlap with other groups like oathkeepers. Stay away if you value anything. I can't stand the guy.

i guess). as is common in chinese civil religion, they eventually became to be understood as gods, with the daughter being said to have appeared during a bombing in wwii and caught bombs in her apron. now, the dog of this family is said to be especially responsive to prayers, and therefore the temple's reputation is focused around the dog. it's considered to be so effective at responding to prayers that not only do mobsters and sex workers go there at night, but people who are talking with missionaries eventually give up on christianity to go to the dog temple, prompting a missionary friend of my old buddhism professor to call him up and say "we lost another one to the dog temple"

Shut up and look at this church. Burgos cathedral is a good example of how a gothic cathedral fits in with the city. Its architecture makes you look up. Now take that same basic awesome design, and build it with stone available locally.  Albi is built out of red bricks. Clermont is near a volcano.

The Phlegmatist posted:Look up something like St. Louis de Montfort's total consecration to Jesus through Mary. Both Marian consecrants and Opus Dei members are encouraged to buy and wear a cilice, which is basically just a spiked chain that you wear to remind you who you're serving. Technically the scapular is a similar form of self mortification. So yeah there's a bunch of devotional practices for Catholics to remind them that God is in control and all your actions should serve Him. Benedictines say "My brother is my hair-shirt". Putting up with the guy/gal next to you with cheerful charity is usually plenty penance.

quote:“The last time a theological dispute among Christians was settled by brute force was in July 1913, when the Russian navy was deployed on Mount Athos and carried off to Russia more than eight hundred monks who had taken the wrong side, from the church hierarchy’s point of view, in an argument over the holiness of the names of God and Jesus.” Ran across this quote this morning, and I would like to know more.

Bel_Canto posted:so one of my friends now faces a dilemma of canonical status that's going to be relatively simple to resolve but is also delightful in its complexity. he was born the child of a Maronite Catholic father and a Latin Catholic mother. he was baptized in a Latin parish, while his younger brother was baptized and chrismated at a Maronite parish. the father later obtained a change of rite for himself, intending to study for the diaconate, but not for his sons. my friend later underwent confirmation in a Latin parish, still without a formal change of rite. my friend now intends to marry in roughly two years' time, and he's in the position of having been confirmed sacramentally but not canonically, since the Latin Church had no canonical authority to confirm him. so now he has to either seek a formal change of rite for himself or get to the nearest Maronite parish and get himself chrismated so that he can be eligible to marry as a Catholic (of whatever rite). This is magnificent. Get the Exarch on the phone.

Like just go out and eat a pie, because if I start having to set up freaking meal plans and boxing up food packages to people I am going to be pissed. Christian fasting is not refusing to eat, but simply eating what you need, and not eating between meals. Think of it like dieting.
