Yeah I am orthodox

He talks about defending the catholic faith

All I did was sign like a dozen of their petitions

The Way of a Pilgrim is really great orthodox book

Really makes you think

Oy

I remember when I thought Nietzsche was an edgy fedora philosopher, then I actually realized he made a lot more sense than I thought.

number 3 🤔

The problem is that if you think Gibbon was wrong, then this analysis is wrong as well.

Found this in my fb feed

Mfw people tryna tell me that the military is full of /ourguys/

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/25/us/politics/marines-human-smuggling.html

the USMC is filled with Hispanics

don't be surprised if nearly every name on that list is Lopez or Gonzales

Only the pews can be filled with /ourguys/

Any ideas for not getting distracted/upset by howling babies during mass

Pay attention to the priest

_focus_

That is remarkably difficult when the sound of uncontrolled children from literally every direction is louder than the priest's voice over the PA

If you can’t find peace in a loud place you won’t find it in a quiet one either

Just brush it off

If you have some sort of disability the change parish

You're not getting me fam, I'm saying that the priest is literally inaudible

Sit closer

Another mass, dif hour

Worst case, change parish

All good advices

that's sad.. the cathedral is the most reverent thing around here

If persecution continues you’ll end up having mass in basements

So you shouldn’t see the church as the important place, but the mass as the important happening

I'd give just about anything for even a traditional low mass.. all we have here is guitar/EM-laden modernism

That reminds me - what I did catch of the homily today, between the screams, was that the mass had *zero* to do with the bible reading. It was basically a 30 minute long (15 minute homily, 15 minutes after communion) advertisement for a feeding hungry children charity

an admirable goal, but the homily isn't the place for that imho..

That’s not usual mass but ok

Change parish

i love sound of babies crying

if your parish aint crying its dying

read the day's bible readings on your own

and keep a printout of the mass handy
