Turning the Gospel into a consumerist Spectacle worthy of the Gemstones is more offensive than Bad Bunny could ever attempt.

If anyone of you are considering getting a gift for me, I’d like to suggest this “Embroidered Anti-Demonic Possession Clergy Robe.” It’s “ideal for weddings.”

Look at the GOP bigwigs who spent 2016 crapping all over Trump, only to become his biggest bootlickers - Rubio, Graham, Cruz, even JD Vance. It's not kompromat or a conspiracy, it's proximity to a president who is so checked out and amoral that he lets you do what you want. It only costs your soul.

“They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us.’ … So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!” ~ Exodus 32:23-24

This is who runs this account.

Losing Catherine O’Hara. Man. That just. Man. “The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” - 1 Cor 15:26

NEW from me: Every morning for the past week or so, a group of ~24 clergy in Portland, Maine drive out to a business. They form a line near a door, shielding a group of mostly immigrant workers as they exit their shift. Then faith leaders stare down DHS agents. religionnews.com/2026/01/29/m...

Actually, if you work for ICE you probably shouldn’t be receiving communion, let alone pastoring a church.

I think it’s important to say something clearly and without any lack of clarity. Rusty Reno has lost his damn mind.

Inside you are two Mr Houses.

Slightly diminish a game. Lump Effect.

My problem is that the orchestra is made up of out of tune banjos.

This should be on the SAT “correct this passage” section.

Did Trump just claim he’s ordered the death of 25,000 people?

I once told Mikhail Gorbachev where to get bbq in Alabama.

Be right back got a mystery to solve.

It’s true that the picture below is a fake, but what is *not* fake is the USS Pakota, an airship tender that served as an at-sea mooring for US naval rigid airships.

Mama told me not to I did anyway

You left off North.

Reposting because it’s relevant. I have no words but will be assessing things.

Started posting some old sermons on Substack to see if I still have any energy for writing. downeastpriest.substack.com/p/you-are-no...

This video features 2 young white kids from an Anglican family tracking ICE movements. First time I've heard of them. Rather impressed. youtu.be/-yKSgM0G1xQ?...

“Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. It is easy enough to die for the good and beautiful; the hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt.” ― Shūsaku Endō, Silence

Thanksgiving trip with some students. Iykyk.

Oh I certainly hope not.

“A toy telephone, an act of faith, a set of improbable circumstances, all combine to probe a mystery, to fathom a depth, to send a facet of light into a dark after-region, to be believed or disbelieved, depending on your frame of reference… - but all of it very much a part of The Twilight Zone.”

Based and trad.

“The bear that was stuck on the roof between Bubba Gump and Ripleys Motion Master has been safely tranquilized and lowered to the ground by bucket truck and will be relocated.” Here endeth the lesson.

Did I *need* a Nuka-Cola mini fridge for my office? No. But that was irrelevant in the moment.

BREAKING: Vatican announces new liturgical text for the United States of America

Happy N7 Day to all who celebrate!

ACNA should elect bishops by casting lots. Put all eligible priests’ names in a hat and draw at random.

This, however, is not good.

Maine has pretty soundly rejected the voting restriction question and passed the red flag gun law. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

What is this witchcraft?

Related: if you’re 20 and mad at Mr Beast because he’s successful and you’re not, that’s age appropriate. If you’re 45 and mad at Mr Beast because he’s successful and you’re not that’s a pathology. If the whole country is mad at Mr Beast b/c he’s successful and they’re not that’s a voting pattern.

This actually makes very good sense when you understand that 99%of Americans of voting age absolutely believe they would be rich and successful and life would be much different if it wasn’t for some Very Specific Bastard failing to recognize their greatness.

Don’t forget to spring back tonight!

Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man. Just found out the last flight using the Hawaiian Airlines call sign was flight 866 - the return flight from Pago Pago to Honolulu, a flight I got know very well from 2014-2016. Right. In. The feels.

True story: I was involved in a discussion regarding a student who showed up dressed as a Red Army field marshal - Order of Whoever and the whole works - for a designated costume spirit day and whether that was offensive or not and be sent home. He was a WW2 reenactor as a hobby outside school.

Happy Visitation of the Great Pumpkin, to all who celebrate.

If you’re from the South, you know - with utter precision - what “boy” directed to a Black man means and is intended to mean.

Halfway to neither at the moment.
