how come no one has made a Great Lakes Freighter Simulator game yet

When you're so committed to rubrics that you lie: "Most Reverend Father, our holy Mother, the Catholic Church, demands of you to promote the Priest here present, to the heavy office of a Bishop." "Have you the apostolic mandate?" "We have."

Thou movest us to delight in praising Thee; for Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.

Do you think we'll ever figure out who operated the Chilean IP that edited Prevost's Wikipedia article between the white smoke and the habemus papam Were they just some rando, or someone with inside knowledge

Me rereading my posts every time I get a notification

flashbacks to Arrested Development

the Office-like camera movements on Succession in the middle of super serious scenes are sending me

Are you sure about that

stat crux dum volvitur orbis

Ave crux, spes unica!

Project Hail Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Grace

My favorite scene was when gosling told the alien that there are only 15 mysteries of the rosary

real trads watched Project Ave Maria

I know the perennial wisdom is not to even change a light bulb in your first year as a pastor, but I'm definitely going to switch to these Stations of the Cross

best ending of all time, let's be real

When you're about to watch Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King (Extended Edition) in theaters

green is not a creative color

It was "dress up as your favorite teacher" day for Catholic Schools week!

It's been commented on a million times before, but it really is astonishing how well the Lord of the Rings CGI has held up and how much better the whole movie looks than pretty much anything that's been released recently

I have a law-abiding parishioner who was detained in Minneapolis as he showed up at his normally scheduled immigration appointment yesterday. His lawyer is having difficulties figuring out what is going on. If anyone has any contacts that may be able to help, please let me know.

We do not serve the Donkey. We do not serve the Elephant. We serve the Lamb.

No offense to Peter Jackson, but I was told the movie would start immediately with no trailers, not have a rambling laptop video from Peter Jackson for ten minutes at the beginning

Lots of Catholic/Christian imagery at the memorial site of Alex Pretti's death. Saw a few people with rosaries.

Is one of the greatest practical arguments for celibacy that Pastors' Kids seem to universally hate the experience?

I asked the mom of the teen I sponsored for confirmation last year if there was anything I could get him for Christmas. She said he liked books. I said I assumed that they already had Lord of the Rings, because they're homeschool family. She said no. Am i doing this right @teawithtolkien.com

Okay everyone gets mad about "Mary, Did You Know?" because they're like "yes she did" but the literal first question in the song is "did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?" and I think it's fair to say that she probably did not know that one

Si quis chartas Natalis scintillis refertas mittat, anathema sit

I think we've gotten more snow before Christmas than we had the last two winters combined and I love it

Take, Lord, and receive My liberty, my memory, my understanding All I have and call my own You have given all to me. To you Lord, I return it. Do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace. That is enough for me.

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

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

I would argue while there are no explicit documents about this yet, the tradition of the church condemns the use of AI to create sacred art, and indeed teaches that AI cannot create art in any proper sense at all. ⬇️

Major Papal, Patriarchal and Roman Archbasilica, Metropolitan and Primatial Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran, Mother and Head of All Churches in Rome and in the World, pray for us 🙏🙏🙏

St. John Lateran, pray for us 🙏🙏🙏

I had a dream I was staying at @kelson.bsky.social's house (which was simultaneously kinda rural and also on the oceanside?) and a tornado came through and very neatly sliced about 4 ft out of the middle of his house, narrowly missing my car (which was my old minivan)

I've probably watched @jonbois.bsky.social's "Your typical sports team doesn't really have an origin myth" introduction to the series on the Vikings over a dozen times He never would have made it if he hadn't heard that horn

"Is the invitatory prayed before anticipated Office of Readings" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

It feels kind of medieval to be the "family priest" who gets called into do funerals for distant cousins I've never met before
