  3. Br. Charles, I would like to use your comment (not word-for-word, but the idea of it) from Fr. Z's post on priestly ad-libbing:

    "When the priest introduced the penitential rite with an invitation to reflect on our “faults and weaknesses,” my teacher walked out, explaining, “I follow St. Paul and boast of my weaknesses. I came here today for forgiveness of sins”"

    in a book I am writing on the new English translation. Would you prefer an attribution, and if so, how?

  5. I guess you'd better watch what you tweet, Father!

    If you see His Holiness following you anywhere else I would immediately call the Congregation for Saints!!

  7. I'm intrigued that the late Holy Father only has 42 followers himself.

  8. Since I posted, he seems to be up to 69. Perhaps, like Spinal Tap, his "appeal is becoming more selective."

  9. That's priceless. But then again, I was following God on Twitter for a while (true; someone has that user name and posts as if from on high)

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
