May the Holy Father either recover quickly or have a peaceful and holy death but also can you imagine how pissed Trump is going to get when we have the coverage of the Papal Funeral and Conclave?

controversial take: I don't understand or agree with observing 'Transfiguration Sunday' on the Sunday before Lent/Lent 2. You're welcome to explain it to me, but I might not agree. 🤔

⚓ Toddler theology: I found out today that 2yr old Maeve thinks Mary is clapping and while I'm all for the intercession of Our Lady I'm also quite taken with the idea of the occasional encouraging round of applause from the Mother of God #CofEpeeps

Is anybody else having a problem with Facebook group notifications today? It tells you the post is there, but when you click through (or otherwise navigate to the group) the post is not visible. The only way to get it is if you know who has posted it you can search in their group 'profile'...

infact, you could theoretically reverse global warming. But the cooperation necessary would require a world government,* which ain't happening soon. * or at least continental governments, you muppet Brexiteers. I'd also like to see the African Union succeed more. Malnutrition and disease too long.

you know these horrid storms we've been having? They are all cause by global warming. (Warm seas create the weather systems.) Which means they are all the fault of selfish individuals and countries (won't name names). I am not a naïve navel-gazer, but really, more could be done to halt warming.

Kerry does have a point about the moment being ripe to make peace. But he neglects that you cannot have Ukraine dictated to. We did that to countries at the end of the C19th/begining of the C20th. We all know what happened next...

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

The Curate's Guide (Witcombe ed.) www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0... -- this was a curious book on the reading list. Yet,it explores from the beginning of the discernment process into active ministry after ordination. Geared twds CofE obvs, it's nevertheless of use elsewhere. Useful lists and things.

I like Spiritual Direction, but I always fear I'm just blethering about random rubbish. Still, I'm not chastised, so it must be alright.
