Fair

I recall seeing an interesting proposal in a Yale journal once involving like a terna of SCOTUS judges

I love raw oysters weirdly enough

need to make sure she isn't plotting to replace me w my own children after all

Prayers please—life chaos, melancholy etc

Als sie die Kommunisten holten…

sorry Four Books and Five Classics 四書五經

Maybe they have seen the light of eastern philosophy and are beginning a the Four Classics

Not necessarily bc there is also the ordinary universal magisterium I guess so universally acclaimed saints I think would be indubitably canonized

yeah and that seems entirely fitting Nonetheless the general calendar just keeps on filling up (both Trent and VII pruned it)—I suspect we’ll need another round in fifty years

The 90s CDF doctrinal note does say this tho ofc that note itself is not quite infallible
AFAICT one of the tricky things is that when consensuses exist among theologians and such there is a certain level of authority involved even when there isn’t a really formal definition

For himself; he ran iirc a secret network bent upon uncovering modernism in Catholic institutions

Pius X was seemingly both virtuous and the head of a spy ring—I wonder if it could be smth like that (as many sainted popes and bishops do seem to have had their own major flaws as people)

I think it’s more likely that his cult would be moved away from
I do wonder abt his life

I was skeptical already tbc

yeah I don't know
maybe it's possible that despite it all he actually lived a saintly life - however here in insipientia dico I suppose bc I never cared to study his life so deeply

right but I doubt they're going to say that actually canonizations are fallible
so i think we may be stuck
they could always suppress liturgical commemoration

canonizations are usually treated as infallibie tho

is this from Gareth Gore's book?

that's kind of what the permanent diaconate has become

Altho he had his shouty moments even then

it’s odd esp since they both say it’s closed and that it doesn’t mean anything abt his character
So it isn’t ann unknown grave sin, maybe, but what could it be?

Good

Where

What does Suarez have to say?

Actually you are right

the RCIA director was also trying to serve as a personal youth minister; that seemed, on retrospect, aberrative
We also skipped over the mystagogical phase
But in any case it’s over and I’m now Catholic, albeit a sinner

This insight, I think, undergirds how I conceive of culture, tradition, and their relation—a sort of assimilative thing which is able to integrate various particular realities w/o compromise or fundamental discord

I got RCIA but I got the impression the process was a little unconventional
When I look back on it there were definitely flaws

That’s just the trend in our politics though
Though even then figures like Zohran and AOC, who are partisan, do try l, I think, to sell themselves (and republicans do the same)
