When you're so committed to rubrics that you lie: "Most Reverend Father, our holy Mother, the Catholic Church, demands of you to promote the Priest here present, to the heavy office of a Bishop." "Have you the apostolic mandate?" "We have."

Do you think we'll ever figure out who operated the Chilean IP that edited Prevost's Wikipedia article between the white smoke and the habemus papam Were they just some rando, or someone with inside knowledge

I know the perennial wisdom is not to even change a light bulb in your first year as a pastor, but I'm definitely going to switch to these Stations of the Cross

Lots of Catholic/Christian imagery at the memorial site of Alex Pretti's death. Saw a few people with rosaries.

I asked the mom of the teen I sponsored for confirmation last year if there was anything I could get him for Christmas. She said he liked books. I said I assumed that they already had Lord of the Rings, because they're homeschool family. She said no. Am i doing this right @teawithtolkien.com

The fans loved the red trim color, and sportswriter Willie McHale wrote about how he overheard a fan called it a "lovely shade of cardinal." In 1900, the team changed their name. And that's how Latin door hinges led to the name of the 11-time World Series championship team.

The St. Louis Brown Stockings baseball club was founded in 1875. The name shortened to the Browns in 1883, and in 1899 became the "Perfectos" and wore a red trim on their uniforms. The Perfectos name would only last one season.

Early European settlers in North America saw a red-feathered songbird, and, noting its resemblance to the red vestments of the Roman clergy, called them Cardinals. In 1758, Carl Linnaeus gave them the formal scientific name of "Loxia cardinalis".

Each cardinal, to this day, receives a church in Rome that they are assigned to. Here's Cardinal Tobin celebrating Mass at his. Over time, only cardinals became eligible for being elected Pope, and voting for the Pope.

When a clergyman is ordained, he is what is called "incardinated" into the diocese or order which ordained him. This comes from the Latin word "cardo", or hinge.

In the early days of the Church, many bishops, including the Bishop of Rome, were elected by the laity and clergy of the diocese. (Think of St. Ambrose, who was elected as bishop while he was still a catechumen!) Over time, this narrowed to the clergy.

How did door hinges lead to the eleven-time World Series champions from St. Louis, and what does it have to do with the Catholic Church? A thread.🧵

We humbly beseech You, O Lord, that Your immense mercy may grant to the most holy Roman Church a Pontiff who, ever pleasing to You by his devoted zeal for us, may be continually revered by Your people for the wholesome governance to the glory of Your name.

Fun fact: there have actually only been 22 popes with the name John. There was never a Pope John XX.
