A few Anglicans listen to CNA Editor's Desk. I think that's awesome, and I really like that you listen.

But as a disclaimer, I should be clear: My goal in all ecumenical dialogues and friendships is your conversion.

Forewarned is forearmed. Resistance is futile.
*and to be even more clear: Your conversion to the one true faith.
And, if you make a living in the CoE or its affiliates, or similar, and the prospective loss of that living is a deterrent to entering the Church's full communion, let me know that and I will do everything I can to help you.

My wife told me tonight that a lot of people she knows are feeling anxious because they weren't or won't be able to fulfill their Easter duty.

I am really sorry if you're feeling that way.

But read on for some good news:
The Easter duty is delineated in c. 920 of the Code of Canon Law.

It's in the tweet below:
Can. 920 §1. After being initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, each of the faithful is obliged to receive holy communion at least once a year.

§2. This precept must be fulfilled during the Easter season unless it is fulfilled for a just cause at another time during the year.

The conversation about liberal democracy and post-liberal integralism is often interesting. But both a vibrant public moral culture and a just confessional state depend upon a plurality of believers who "animate the temporal order with a Christian spirit.

(cont)
This is one of the reasons why John Paul II, Benedict, and Francis all have prioritized the re-evangelization of post-Christian people and cultures. If personal conversions, a huge number of them, don't come soon, democracy can't be just and post-liberalism will be brutal.
Drawing up elaborate plans for a new temporal order is only an exercise without the necessary raw material of that order: namely, a cadre of believers. And achieving justice in a liberal democracy presupposes a citizenry formed for a justice beyond temporality.

Things are going to be weird and hard for a little while. We’re going to become communitarians, making concrete sacrifices for the common good, or we’re going to indulge our self-centeredness, and make things much harder for ourselves + everyone else.

Either way, it’s up to us.
And I learned this tonight by being selfish and reflecting on its consequences.
And to be clear, if there’s one thing I know about myself, it’s that I can’t be good without God.
