No change as far as my parish. They’ve welcomed everyone to the table for as long as I’ve been attending.

I think the only thing odd about what is happening with OnlyFans, is that they're willingly killing their own business model, which whether they like it or not IS inappropriate content. You don't see that kind of thing often in modern business that a company would willingly destroy itself for what ostensibly...

All of the above and a few others as well.

And there is absolutely no proof of that seeing as the disease has only been in the human population for about 2 years.

Well good luck to you...

What possible reason can you have for not getting the vaccine? Your natural immunity has likely faded if you were sick in January, particularly with the new variants. At worst the vaccine will do nothing for the current variant more than you've already got, at best (and the data supports this...

Isn't India's overall birthrate declining? Is it possible the Catholic population of Kerala is just ahead of the curve?

Pretty much. That's why I'm ok with my cathedral's probably overly open communion. I get the closed protective measures some churches use as that's been a precedent in Christian churches for centuries. Anglicans view Christ as being present in some form (your type of presence may vary thanks to...

If they were willing to fight... why didn't they? The only real actions of the Afghan military I'm seeing is that they all up and ran, or surrendered willingly.

I mean those troops were trained under Biden, Trump, Obama, and Bush. If they failed to be trained properly Biden is hardly the only president to blame. The last 4 are to blame.

The Trump administration would have had us out even earlier. At some point the US had to withdraw, we've been there for 20 years. If the Afghani military, who outnumbered the Taliban 4 to 1, weren't willing to fight, and the scores of people who supposedly opposed the Taliban weren't willing to...

Well yes... and no. Anglicanism is probably the most difficult branch of Christianity to nail down under one single category because of it's via media / big tent approach to the faith. There are segments of Anglicanism in the Anglo Catholic tradition that are more historical Catholic than the...

#1, as others have said above likely better, but if you're Christian and baptized why shouldn't you be welcome at the lord's table? The Church is one, even if humans have mucked it up. That said I'm coming at this from the perspective of my particular cathedral which takes the open in communion...

Good news is most of the bibles in use today aren't KJV or the Douay-Rheims based and most non-KJV only churches don't use them anymore. In fact most of the most commonly used versions have gone back to as much of the source material or near source material as they can.

What is the connection between this an Catholicism?

Well the US marriage rate is the lowest it's been in the history of it being measured. Between that and the reduction of the overall number of Episcopalians due to the schisms, and the declining religiousity of the American public, I'm not sure this really qualifies as surprising. The only...

I think the division between Anglo-Catholic and High Church for me is very apparent just by virtue of the two congregations I worship with. My home congregation is High Church. The liturgy is formal but Episcopal Rite II (so modern vernacular), vestments, some incense, emphasis on the Eucharist...

Antifa isn't real. BLM doesn't torch churches (and is generally more of a US based movement anyway). It can be any number of other potential suspects who did this, particularly in the current climate where there are thousands if not more who are insensed at the atrocities committed in the...

Any time I read about the increasing lack of freedom in Hong Kong I can't help but wonder why the Chinese don't just rip the band aid off at this point and end the "one country, two systems" charade. I mean it's effectively over anyway and no one internationally believes Hong Kong is de facto...

LOL. If only. Won't happen in my lifetime but eventually we'll repeal or amend that particular amendment. As it remains the stumbling block in enacting otherwise sane gun control in this country (like EVERY other 1st world country has in place).
