Kendra Tierney: A Martyr for Catholicism All Year
anachronistic posted a topic in Other Families - "One Offs"
We have been discussing the Tierneys over in the M is for Mama thread and I think she deserves her own thread, so here one is. Mods, feel free to change the title if you don’t like it. Kendra Tierney lives in an enormous mansion in LA. She has 10 kids whose names I can’t get straight because sometimes she uses nicknames and sometimes not, but they’re in age from 17/18 to a baby. They are all perfectly adorable (especially the baby) with no faults that I can see except that they have the tendency to suck up to their narcissistic mom a lot. Kendra has a ton of money because her husband is s -
Kansas Bureau of Investigations inquiry into NE Kansas sect
clueliss posted a topic in Wide World of Snark
It read like this is a breakaway sect from the Catholic Church. St Mary’s, Kansas. They’re drawing 4000 people and now the KBI is looking into sexual abuse allegations -

Men of Melchizedek - Protecting Abuser Priests In & Out of Prison
hoipolloi posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Just when you think you've heard everything. The AP has reported on a group formerly called Opus Bono Sacerdotii, now called Men of Melchizedek. From the AP story: Former leaders of Opus Bono Sacerdotii (OBS) included the recently ousted Cardinal Eduard Perrone, removed from his Detroit parish after allegations of sexual abuse. Perrone is an arch-conservative, Latin-Mass kind of guy. OBS morphed into the Men of Melchizedek after the Michigan AG busted OBS for breaking state law governing non-profits. -

Bishop Paprocki of Illinois showed how butt hurt he is

Ugh If I was a legislator I'd tell the good Bishop he can suck it. I am so goddamn glad I gave the Roman church the ol heave ho back in 2012. -
How many Hail Mary's for this?

Bishop Morlino of Madison died last night I suppose I should be nice after his passing but his effect on the Madison diocese was negative at best. Of course every media outlet in the area will now be claiming he's the greatest Catholic since Jesus Christ.

Bonnie - Babies, White Privilege, and Other Nonsense
singsingsing posted a topic in Other Families - "One Offs"
We were discussing Bonnie and her latest pregnancy in the Upcoming Babies thread a bit, but her latest post really pissed me off. http://www.aknottedlife.com/2018/10/a-response-to-president-emmanuel-macron.html The president of France apparently said something that implied that women who are educated would be less likely to have huge numbers of children, and Bonnie has taken it as a personal insult. She also displays an absolutely stunning lack of perspective and apparently zero understanding that things outside her bubble of white American middle class privilege can be wildly, wildl -

Germany Too: enquiry on priests abuse in Germany
laPapessaGiovanna posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
An enquiry commissioned by the German Bishops and comducted by Universities of Giessen, Heidelberg and Mannheim finds more than 3600 minors were abused by clergy since 1947. And more than half of them were younger than 13yo when abused. Enquiry also says that real numbers are probably much higher. http://time.com/5394761/germany-catholic-church-sex-abuse-cases/ -
Francis: Abortion is white glove version of Nazi crimes
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Ugh I suppose the reich to life fucks will soon be out parroting this horseshit. This is exactly why I'll never return to the Catholic church for any reason. Francis might be a little bit to the left of Benny or JPII but this shows there's not much daylight between him and either man. -
By his own admission, Father Joseph Jeyapaul raped two girls when he was assigned to a parish in Minnesota. He fled to his native India, but was extradicted and got a reduced sentence for admitting his guilt. After serving his scant one year sentenced he was deported and suspended from ministry. That should have been the end of the story, but the Vatican reinstanted Jeyapaul into the priesthood and has been assigned to a parish in India where he is in charge of religious education: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/24/the-vatican-just-put-a-convicted-rapist-back-in-a-parish.ht

Pope Francis accuses victim of sexual abuse of slandering bishop
laPapessaGiovanna posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Pope Francis declared he didn't see any evidence of misconduct against a Chilean bishop despite testimony of victims and dismissed them as slandering. This makes me so ragey. It's never the wrong moment to remind victims that their words don't matter as much as a bishop's words. -

This post is late, I know. I promised in AYTFJ I would put it up almost two months ago. Unfortunately, I didn't end up having time before I went out of the country a week later, and got busy when I got back. For those of you that don't read there, a very good college friend of mine converted to Catholicism, and sent me the invitation below, featuring required modest dress for a (Traditional Catholic? wedding). I still have no idea what this church or wedding was all about, so hopefully you guys can help me dissect the info I collected. I apologize in advance for the very long length of this po

What the actual...WHO DOES THIS?! (Contains triggers)
Phoebe posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
I can't summarize this nearly as well as others have. "Today, November 7th, 2016, the day before the presidential election, Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life took the corpse of an aborted child–one that was given by a pathologist for a proper burial–laid it upon the altar, and posted a picture of it to Facebook. The reason? To convince you to vote for Donald Trump." From http://www.patheos.com/blogs/themackerelsnapper/2016/11/07/frank-pavone-is-a-sick-man/ and "...Fr. Pavone makes no secret that he put that dead child up on the altar and filmed him and pla -
Mother Angelica, founder of the EWTN Catholic cable channel died on Sunday (Easter, how apropos): http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2016/03/28/we-wont-look-on-the-likes-of-mother-angelica-again/ She was a staunch culture warrior and upholder of Catholic orthodoxy, but wasn't afraid to tell the bishops off if they displeased her. If nothing else, Mother Angelica represented how detached conservative Catholicism has become from the knee jerk clericalism of the pre-Vatican II era when a nun can take down the bishops and be considered a heroine by other "orthodox" Catholics.

Yeah, setting up your boss is not a good career move... nydailynews.com/news/world/vatican-replace-ambassador-arranged-meeting-kim-article-1.2567132 Of course he had reached the mandatory age 75 where clergy are to send in their resignations, but the Pope doesn't always accept the resignations and keeps them working for a while longer if they feel up to it. However in this case Francis decided to replace the dude with someone else...

Abigail reviews a book on how to become friendly with saints and angels. abigails-alcove.blogspot.com/2014/05/book-review-and-give-away-scott-hahns.html She especially loves the chapter that is apparently about how to become friendly with Moses. She says she already hosts a "Christian seder" every year and wants to recite Miriam's Song of the Sea at Easter. I knew about her doing a seder, but what the hell is the connection between Miriam and Easter? The idea of worshiping Moses or seeing him as a figure of intercession approaches offensive territory for me. In Jewish t
