THIS was in my hotel when I checked today. (Hilton property)
Usually, I find a Gideons Bible, sometimes, the Book of Mormon, or even a Quran.

- Crucifix.
- Rosary.

I went to Mass on Sunday at an SSPX chapel, that I had gone to a few times, mostly weekday Masses or Holy Days of Obligation when I couldn't get across town. I went right after they set it up, when they acquired a former Pentecostal church building.
I was absolutely dumbstruck
@father_rmv
When you'd rather the hallowed building be turned into a brothel or a mosquebefore you will allow the Mass of The Ages to be said there, you have lost the path to God.
Contrast this with the Minoritenkirche in Vienna.
SSPX needs to buy their buildings outright. The diocesans
Follow-up.
Said a Rosary, my 2nd of the day, thought it was fitting after finding this very pleasant surprise on All Saints Day.
Christus vincit!
Christus regnat!
Christus imperat!

Announce it in the Bulletin.
The one below is from my Parish (note we are a TLM Parish).
Then state it in the Announcements, then ask the Ushers to mention it nicely to those who need to be spoken to.
@father_rmv
We saw this again and again in the Anglican and Episcopal Churches:
The bishop caves, the priest refuses, either the priest gets tossed, or the flock backs the priest and gets evicted from the church and the buildings are sold for diocesan funds.
Evil. Just evil.
Numquam.
@reddit_lies
Don't you love how Redditors look up from their booger-encrusted keyboards, and make proposals that assume they have absolute power over all people in the nation/world?
"What if we imprisioned all [insert hated group here] and redistributed their possessions to the good people?"
@father_rmv
Archbishop Sample is a true Pastor.
In the middle of the modern-day Sodom (Portland), he brings a Catholic courage that I admire unreservedly.
And the perverts in Portland hate him for this.
And we love and support him and the Archdiocese with our time, treasure, and talent.
@kennedyhall
Probably because (at least in my perception), JP II absolutely walked the talk:
Broke Communism.
Took a bullet for Christ.
Forgave.
Saw the power of the Papacy as a means to holiness, not power as it's own end.
And more...
@JohnWFarrell
Much better view of the procession here:
Johnny here feels the need to pass summary judgment.
I think he loves Leftist Politics more than he loves God. Shame.
When the major cities in the West are being terrorized by leftist and Islamist mobs, this happened in New York City. More than 3,000 Catholics, including young people, peacefully processed through the streets of NYC, giving testimony to the Eucharistic Jesus.

Isn't it wonderful that you're so much smarter and better than those filthy plebs?
How dare they not fully comply! Off to prison for the nasty peasants. That will teach them.
@RealJamesWoods
All the same tactics:
Many v 1 group attack: Check
Sucker Punch: Check
Continue to attack when victim down: Check
Filming their exploits: Check
So what is the counter-technique?
Not allowed to discuss here.
@aTheSams
Stercus tauri.
If I know of a priest who has committed abuse against a minor or someone under his charge, I'm judging and reporting.
I will not tolerate pederasty in the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, and if you say because of this I will be judged by God, then let Him judge me.
@ianvanheusen
Absolutely.
The Polyester Priests see growing TLM parishes, see burgeoning vocations, see young parishoners at Mass, see parishoners who give their time, treasure, and talent.
It terrifies them.
It enrages them.

@ProtecttheFaith
I don't know if I agree with this, as it assumes way too much competence.
But one thing I do agree on, is that the solution is in a return to the Traditional Catholic Faith.
And that is why Traditional Catholicism is so hated, because "they" can't kill it or control it.

Riley Gaines, an actual athlete, disagrees with you.
I'm sure you're ready to rebut her with your years of hard training and competition in ... uh... which sport, again?

Hmmm, that Spirit, that only the special Synod can interpret, in secret, that's going to tell us that we've been on the wrong track for two thousand years?
Oh yeah, that one.

"Many progressive churches perform same-sex marriages, ordain openly gay ministers, and embrace theologies that allow for a more inclusive sexual anthropology."
Then go join those churches.

@LisaRoberts2023
And this is my dilemma.
I love my Diocesan TLM Parish.
I love my Ordinary.
What troubles me is that, just like he did with Bishop Strickland,
@pontifex
could sweep all that we are building away with a wave of his hand.
And I could not accept this.
@jimbretzke
Considering the state of most bishops these days, as sinecured livings with yes-men, your thoughts above constitute a ringing endorsement of Bp Strickland.

The echo chamber gets smaller and smaller, week by week.
I don't even operate my ban-evasion account much anymore, as any remaining value in Reddit can be accessed read-only.
Just ain't worth VM and VPN any more.

Why does something tell me that the Coalition for Cancelled Priests is going to become one of the largest and most significant new orders of Clergy in The Church?
@UnrealBluegrass
For a brilliant Bluegrass musician, you really don't understand the people who created the genre, and how things are for them.
Maybe you should hang out in Flyover Country a little and listen.
@Gerashchenko_en
This is really good news.
Basically, this says that Lukashenko will steer Belarus down the Switzerland course.
Putin wants him to invade, and open a new front.
Lukashenko realizes that Russia is losing this war.
Better to be Switzerland, than Nazi Germany, he thinks.
@GibsonWrites
The Jews did kill Christ.
Christ forgave them.
As do we.
As far as the rest of your Fordham School of Catholic NuChurch, fie upon it.

@ProtecttheFaith
And the groundswell of rejection of the Catholic-Left folks (which is now revealed as re-hashed Liberation Theology) is just starting.
Watch, look for opportunites to join your fratres and sorores, and see what happens.
It's gonna be epic, literally.
