@HStromeyer3500 @M_P_Hazell @Venator92 The megachurch people are a pain in the neck but I can assure you that the Church is not being persecuted in Michigan. What are you on about, bringing up persecution?

@HStromeyer3500 @M_P_Hazell @Venator92 Lauds before the earliest Mass aren't difficult. A couple of the country parishes here do it. The doors are usually unlocked anyway, it just takes some trusted leader.

@BullBoss5 In La Mancha something like 50% of houses have AC. Missouri is like La Mancha but more humid and with horseflies. And it only gets hotter if you go south or west from Missouri.

@BullBoss5 Rome and Chicago are at the same latitude. In Traverse City, where Chicagoans go to get away from summer heat, the same latitude as Bordeaux or Milan, not much AC is used either.

@603Roller @iowahawkblog Digital computer was invented at Iowa State; the microchip was invented by an Iowan slumming it in California.

@SteveSkojec @DigestTom became Mike Lewis and then noped out, @BadTheoloTakes became a grouchier gen-Xier DigestTom, half of everyone else is SSPX-adjacent, and 10000 zoomers are trying to be Garrigou-Lagrange but more aggressively insufferable. Only @BruvverEccles and Amy Wellborn remain.

@SenWarren If Elizabeth Warren and her fellows paid my "leftism is expensive" excise tax we could send all children to the parochial or independent school of their parents' choice.

Neat ambient analysis result. Owlstone, not FAIMS Pro--but picture just what you could see with a mass spec behind this.

@ContraMolinism @BadTheoloTakes "Biblical" isn't an adjective practicing Catholics use to describe their Faith. A Protestant whose mask has slipped?

@ChudThomist "I was once involved with a Catholic guy and all he wanted to talk about was mary, mary, mary, and some modern prophecy. It's like they're Mormons" is something I actually heard in my younger, pre-reversion days.

@ChudThomist TBF I wouldn't want my (Catholic) daughter dating or marrying someone into apparitions. There's probably a good Catholic husband out there for this young lady but the kind who makes our Faith about impious fictions and St. Mary as a substitute for the Holy Ghost isn't it.

@TheRocinante1 @ItsRobbAllen reverentcatholicmass.com Ditch those 1980s holdovers. This map might help.

@ItsRobbAllen by way of contrast, I heard a homily about prevenient grace, theosis, and what it is to be sent forth on mission. Catholic, of course. But an old-time Wesleyan would approve.
