@michaelbd A respectful dispute between @ClarkeMicah and @michaelbd over the origins of the CofE is the best content I’ve seen anywhere this summer. Keep it going!

A man yelling 'allahu akbar' stabbed a man in a kippah at 86th and Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side at 1:30 pm today, then likely stabbed someone else at 84th and Central Park West. Has apparently been caught. On the Jewish day of mourning. In Zohran Mamdani's city.

for the @CatholicHerald I wrote about my disturbing few days at the SSPX seminary in Écône, culminating in a massive thunderstorm which hit just as the newly consecrated bishops were about to receive communion thecatholicherald.com/article/at-eco…

@JamesUrling @SohrabAhmari Jesus appointed Judas as one of the first Bishops y’know. Just a little FYI.

@CburgesCliff I remember fondly how the University of Geneva bursar provided reimbursement immediately in cash upon presentation of your receipts. The Swiss FTW!

@PetriOP FWIW I heard a laywoman sing a song in the place of a homily in the Diocese of Rochester, NY ca 2003. Lay preaching doesn’t end well.

@lymanstoneky My wife disapproves, but I have occasionally been able to simply distribute myself and my six children around such people, which is typically effective in reclaiming such spaces

@theo_nash @FreyChristopher The expert can’t add to those basics- they’re in the book’s intro, but hard to understand if you’re an ignorant kid. The details of the poetic meter and contemporary related texts, various pottery shard evidence for dating stories? They aren’t relevant.

@theo_nash @FreyChristopher Your very line of questioning here betrays a mistake: in anything less than the most advanced undergrad classes, any remotely competent professor can convey all that most students can absorb. The historical distance. The impact over centuries. How to read a hard text.

@FeserEdward You are right in the main, but of course it’s also worth reflecting that “ordinary life” when the just war theory was worked out could easily be worse than even the disrupted life of modern times. It has also left a vacuum of guidance: if war is forced, how can a Catholic reply?
