For anyone attending the ACNA's Title IV Roll-Out meeting on zoom this afternoon, consider dressing (your Zoom background) for the occasion.

"Many have wondered how this impropriety could have continued to go unchecked for an hour. There is a simple reason. The judge who had improper access to some of my files was the one tasked with moderating the proceedings." Absolutely damning new revelations here.

Curious what the ACNA's stance is on Executive Committee members publicly saying a former Provincial Prosecutor should be beaten behind a woodshed.

ffs, did they vet this guy for even a single minute before putting him in charge

Folks will recall that in 2023, Ruch tried to bypass the trial court and get the Tribunal (Supreme Court) to throw out the case against him. Now during the trial, a member of the court introduced undisclosed evidence outside the trial's scope seemingly in favor or Ruch. Release the transcript.

"I hear the voices of the bishops saying, 'They’ll never be satisfied!' and I hear the response echoing back through the ages: 'They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.' " 4 years on, Kelley Goewey offers this reflection:

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

yes i am sure

“The greatest trick CS Lewis ever pulled was convincing Christians that God is not safe.” 👀 That’ll preach.

If ICE can get bounced by Dodgers stadium security, maybe we can stop pretending they're some unstoppable force of shadowy Solid Snake-type operatives. flash a walkie-talkie and a little backbone and these guys hit the bricks.

I have not been able to stop thinking about this one since I read the presentment. He valued *his* child enough to check on her safety, but everyone else's kids could wait 2 years.

The extract from the presentment in the quoted post still boggles my brain. He had a lay leader showing children pornography and his response was that this was "immature"?! Immature is a fart joke. Showing a minor pornography is textbook abuse.

The province is long overdue to make this public - it was signed and submitted 2.5 years ago and only last week (1 month before Ruch's trial) was it temporarily made public. If you're in the ACNA - especially if you attend Rez - I encourage you to read this 9 page doc and learn the exact charges.

there were more normie people out with Palestinian flags cheering i have literally no clue what these pseudo-radicals want

Between going to a local protest, seeing coverage of the ones everywhere else, and watching the military just absolutely phone it in…god I haven’t felt this patriotic since I was like ten.

PLEASE

crying

There were more people at the No Kings protest in Boise, Idaho

man that is a tight punchy 1000 words right there

Proud of my city

I’ve seen several posts like this now and this gives me a lot of hope.

someone should hold a memento mori sign during the DC parade

Just spoke to a Catholic deacon, Matt Coyne, at this Philly No Kings protest. Says he just finished participating in an ordination service for new deacons downtown, and a group of them left and immediately joined the crowd. “Jesus said love your neighbor. Simple as that,” he says.

Naperville, IL (DuPage county protest) — NO KINGS

"Whatever adherents are motivated by—a sincerely held belief in the rights of parents, or something more cynical—the expansion of parental rights comes at a cost to the very children that conservatives vow to “protect,” child advocates warn." 👇👇👇

T.P. Zamora discusses Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse, which occurs when a spiritual leader behaves sexually toward an adult under their spiritual care who inherently holds less power within the spiritual leader-follower relationship, undermining their capacity to offer meaningful consent.

“I want to make a special appeal to soldiers, national guardsmen, and policemen: each of you is one of us. The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters. When you hear a man telling you to kill, remember God’s words, ‘thou shalt not kill.’” Óscar Romero, El Salvador, March 23, 1980.

I wrote about a proposed canonical change in the ACNA that will come before the Provincial Council in about a week. The change involves codifying how legislation gets proposed -- *away* from the actual members of the legislature. ⬇️

Lmao the province has now deleted their update 💀

Remember: whether it's two months from now or two decades, whenever you hear someone sheepishly say, "I voted for Trump but I didn't vote for THAT," you should always mentally substitute the words "I was too complacent to pay attention to anything Trump was actually, explicitly saying"

Okay the areas where most of the people on Bluesky are (particularly Khan Younis) are being displaced- so I am going to start a master thread here of people who need help with evacuation. I’ll keep adding to it so check the bottom part too:

I need to live more biblically (throw myself under the nearest tree and refuse to move until an omniscient diety sends birds with snacks)

Rebel tears are back on the menu boys.

Jesus: show me the novel you are reading. Me: I’m not really reading one rn. J: you have spoken truly, for you are trying to read 4 novels rn and they’re all over 800 pages long. Me, changing the subject: what’s your opinion, do audiobooks count as reading?

"What’s the difference between being held and being trapped?" 👀

Guy *slaps book of catholic social teaching*: this baby can fit so much woke into it.

If you, like me, are furious about the ACNA licensing a Nazi to serve in one of their diocese, the Archbishop's statement in response (anglicanchurch.net/archbishop-w...) includes an email address where you can "direct all inquiries." Here is mine if it is helpful for anyone as a starting point:

You ever start skimming an article out of curiosity re the topic and then have your jaw hit the floor by the end of the first paragraph because you were not expecting to look DIRECTLY INTO A MIRROR?

Ran across a reference to Christine de Pizan on a fabric store blog(?!) and of course my first thought was the @weirdmedieval.bsky.social podcast. However, I am laughing that "a book featuring famous women from throughout history" is how this post chose to summarize Le Livre de la Cite des Dames.

My five-year-old has been singing 🎵Substitutiary Locomotion🎵 on repeat for the last 3 months.

Today we are coping with [gestures wildly] by winning the *little* things (watching the Cubs for free because the 5 year old is now obsessed). Please appreciate the foil. And the alternate audio device bc the receiver, tv, and antenna refuse to play nice.
