It must suck to be a real journalist at a place like WaPo or NYT considering the opinion columnists there. It would be like working at a grocery store except there's one guy who shits and pisses on the floor all day long and somehow he gets paid 10 times more than you

I also enjoyed a class with the famous Roman Catholic liturgist Aidan Kavanagh, born in Mexia, Texas, who once wrote: “To be consumed with worry over making a liturgical mistake is the greatest mistake of all. Reverence is a virtue, not a neurosis, and God can take care of himself.” ⚓️
Reflection. The flaw in the logic of two-sacrament theology is that Jesus explicitly told us to do *three* things, not two: baptism, eucharist, foot washing. I’m not a two-sacrament guy anyway. Nor a seven-sacrament guy, for that matter. I’m actually an eight-sacrament guy. ⚓️ #maundythursday
I want to go back to 1996, when Microsoft first introduced Clippy, and tell people that one day they're going to make a slightly better version of this and immediately start asking it to read brain scans and act as a therapist
