đ News to me... Russel Brand â

Whatâs news? Thatâs he has converted to Catholicism?
Russel Brand is an attention seeking one trick pony whose penchant for esoteric prose barely masks the fact that he doesn't actually have anything to say.
Mid-wits are attracted to him like moths to a flame.
You'll be hard-pressed to get me to criticize anyone with an audience preaching Christ crucified.
Even the devil can quote scripture for his own end
The Devil quotes scripture to lead people away from Christ, not to encourage people to seek Him.
I love the melodic way he talks. Reminds me of a Bible thumper from the Dirty South.
RUSSEL BRAND HAS FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING TO SAY, THAT I ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR. đ
Very strange, this. A few weeks after his âconversionâ he started baptising people in a river. I donât think anyone knows any denomination.
Well, any baptised Christian is a priest and can perform valid baptisms. đ€·đ»ââïž
Really ? Iâll have to take your word. The people at the Irreverend podcast werenât impressed.
No, I apologize. I was wrong. Anyone, even someone who has not been baptized, can perform a valid baptism.
They must baptize with intention and with water, and invoke the Trinity.

Thanks, interesting
A lot of denominations don't allow laypersons to baptize, except in emergencies. Like midwives and doctors or etc. But that's their church's law, usually to ensure that baptisms are conducted properly and recorded officially, not some restriction of the sacrament itself.
It's the same with marriage. The spouses marry each other, and that is valid, but if a priest doesn't convene the marriage, they are supposed to have the marriage convalidated at a later date. Like Erika and Charlie recently did. đ„č
