@canonlawyered As a resident of AH and a Bears fan I get it, but regret it. The only way for the Bears to get maximal return on a stadium in IL is for it to be a dome for year round events. A retractable dome would be best, but that will never happen.

@Where_Peter_is Maybe kneeling to receive communion comes from the development of doctrine and understanding of what the Eucharist is?

@memcculloch I was intrigued by an experiment I saw on a recent Veritasium video that described how some scientists measured the affect of gravity on individual atoms failing. I wonder if this would be a possible was to measure #QI affect?

@Daniel_Rubino I am a life long Windows user who has been using MacOS for the last month. I can count on one hand how many times I have used the global top menu bar. Maybe I haven't adjusted. Maybe I am using MacOS wrong. 🤷‍♂️

@rightscholar But don’t you think their response to their failure to get a tenure track position would have been different had the hiring of tenured profs been more aligned with the pool of available candidates and society at large?

@SteveSkojec @btcave1 I believe there is a convention on how to surrender to a drone in this conflict. I could be wrong though.

@jdflynn 100% - I was discussing this with my wife last night. It baffles my mind that the cardinals feel like they need to quickly select the next pope. Take the time needed to discern and select the pope we need! Time taken to discern doesn't mean lack of unity!

@jennmorson @LeahLibresco Yet he’s the DNC vice chair at 25? Don’t think being 22 is a good excuse if you’re mature enough at 25 for vice chair.

@SteveSkojec Thanks for this take Steve. As the father of 12, my wife and I know very well the challenges of taking care of and providing for our children. It is always a struggle to financially provide for them, even though I have a very generous income.

@MichaelsRosary @FrHarrison He is the case in point for the 12 year rule IMHO.

@FrHarrison By having 6 years terms and the expectation that a pastor is assigned to a different parish after 2 terms, the bishop has an easy out if a pastor is becoming problematic at a parish. 2/2

@FrHarrison I see the "pro tem" appointment of pastors as a cop out by their bishops. In my observation (Arch of Chicago) I see the main reason for using it is to prevent a cult of personality to develop around a pastor. 1/2
