Just checked in on Facebook and the algorithm thought I wanted to see LifeSite's cursed take.😐😑 I mean, I did hit it with the laugh emoji... ...but then I clicked through and hid all posts from that account. "Life" Site my eye.

I take it back - being a priest may mean I don't have to listen to homilies, but it also means I never get to hear gems like this!

Diaconate ordinations that happen at the seminary are rarely done by one's own bishop. He ordained my whole class which had men from probably thirty or forty different dioceses. Also, his assignment before becoming a bishop was spiritual director in the seminary.

Today is the 16th anniversary of my ordination as a deacon. That's me in the photo walking up to Bishop Hebda for the laying of of hands. My brother took the photo and blew it up for me as a gift for priestly ordination.

Catholic social teaching doesn't suck. (Not saying people can't find fault with Catholicism otherwise.)

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

Who was the jerk that decided to make microwaves where you have to push "time cook" before entering the time? We know your machine can do other things, but 95% of the time, I just want to zap my food on full power for an amount of time. Why would this ever not be the default mode?

2) The sound of vinyl really is better. I've been listening to music with earbuds for so long. Impoverished! It's so rich, especially with my monitor setup (with subwoofer). It's an amazing listening experience. (The audio here won't do it justice.)
