Judging by his 60 Minutes interview, it seems Pope Francis does not understand "Tradition."
He speaks as if it were merely like precedence, or something we can consider and learn from historically.
But we understand it as something handed down to be guarded and preserved.
This hurts. It's the only way I've ever obtained Monero!
This is terrible news. Where can i buy Monero now with no kyc and no other crypto?
1. Easter egg baskets and hunts.
2. Easter bunnies.
3. Outdoor "sunrise services."
4. Hot-cross buns.
5. The English word "Easter."
Those who insist "Easter is pagan!" act as if these things are the
essence of what Easter is -- that without them, there is no Easter.
Yet the observance of Easter (i.e., the annual commemoration of the Resurrection) does not hinge on these things.
I
turned to Catholicism about 24 years ago, observing Easter each year
since then. Not once have I participated in an egg hunt, decorated with
bunnies, or attended an outdoor "sunrise service." I don't know whether
I've even seen a hot-cross bun.
I don't oppose these things; I just haven't done them. They're not important.
If the way I've observed Easter is still objectionable to the
anti-Easter crowd -- and it is -- then it's not because they oppose
"paganism." It's because they oppose the annual commemoration of the
Resurrection of Jesus.
That's a sober realization.
This was excellent.
But I can't understand how the cute cat video didn't tug on TikTok's heart strings and give you a pass.
No one around my office seems to mind seeing a person's pronouns in the email signature.
But when it was noticed after almost a year that my email signature included my "Preferred conjunctive adverbs," I was told (without a smile) to delete that line.
I should sue.
This is a clear, up-close, graphic video, showing a few seconds at the end what "clumps of cells" and mere "just fetuses" look like. If we want to keep it real, we need to rethink our insane view of "my body, my choice."
Do not watch if you can't handle the truth about what "pro-choicers" defend.
This is a striking comparison of the old Traditional Latin Mass and the New Mass. It's not just a matter of Latin vs. English. It affects what we believe.
While both are valid, the New Mass withhold things that better express hidden realities, such as the Real Presence and that the Mass is a sacrificial rite. It's really undeniable to any honest person.
That's what makes it so evil to work so hard at suppressing the ancient Mass. One has to ask, Why?

I'd like to know what talk that is.
It seems the best way to "stack sats" is to earn an income (i.e., work a job) and buy some BTC. Isn't that better than these tiny amounts most people here tip each other with? Who has done anything with these sats? What do they plan to do with them? Why? What is the goal?
From the outside it looks like a weird, obsessive hobby.
I have some crypto saved (no KYC attached). I use it for VPN service. I've bought books with it. I think it's good to have if I need privacy or a permissionless transaction. But it's not a religion.
We cannot serve both God and e-mammon.
I like it not only for no tracking, but also for the elimination of exasperating ads (especially for short videos). And the ease with which it can download videos.
Hey, Father. You know you shouldn't be using YouTube!
Newpipe for Android, and FreeTube for desktop! I use FreeTube frequently without oroblems. You can import your subscriptions. Just can't comment from there.
This JP Sears video is really funny. He makes fun of Putin. He makes fun of Tucker. He makes fun of the military industrial complex. He makes fun of DEI and corporations. There is something to upset almost everyone, but he also communicates a lot of truth with his humor. It takes a few for him to really get rolling, but by the end he had me really laughing.

Being atypically masculine does not make you less a man.
You can be manly without being a stereotype.
Agreed.
How would you put into words what makes a woman womanly/feminine?
I know I'm not the only one (though it feels like it in my circles), but I wish GPG encrypted email was the norm.
Yes, the metadata of email headers reveals a lot, but still -- does it follow that encrypted content doesn't matter?
If more people used Protonmail, and if more email providers offered similar built-in GPG encryption, then the use of email would be more reasonable, more private, more widely used, less dangerous.
Pardon my ignorance, but what are the brown crispy things to the left of your burger?
