Never considered before that #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade begins with Indiana Jones "finding" the Cross of Coronado and of course ends with him also finding the Holy Grail.
It does seem like one of the Apostles would have kept the Holy Grail. That seems like the kind of memento you'd want to have but we guess they had other things on their mind. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
And yes, we know that there is a 1000 years of Grail-lore, from the Arthurian legends to Dan Brown. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
How does Indiana Jones keep the rubbing of the tablet dry? He was totally submerged in the petroleum-filled waters underneath the library. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
"Why do you seek the cup of Christ? Is it for His glory or for yours?" Indiana Jones ends up having to answer that question near the end of the film. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
"For the unrighteous, the Cup of Life holds everlasting damnation." A valid warning for a lot of things. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
In #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade, Indiana Jones survives the first test of faith by kneeling, show his humbleness before God. Of course, in today's world, his kneeling would be seen as disrespect.
The Leap of Faith that Indiana Jones takes is one of our all-time favorite moments in movies. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
The look the knight and Indiana Jones give each other when Donovan lets Elsa choose the "grail" for him is low-key hilarious. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
Always liked the fact that there is a price to immortality. It doesn't come without responsibility. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
In the end, Henry Jones Sr. and Jr. survive because they weren't interested in finding the Grail for their own glory. They were like the Jesuits: men for others. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade

"The organization of societies worldwide is still far from reflecting clearly that women possess same dignity & identical rights as men. We say one thing with words, but our decisions & reality tell another story."
Glad to see but this is true of the Church, too. #FratelliTutti
These two sentences from #FratelliTutti: "War, terrorist attacks, racial or religious persecution, and many other affronts to human dignity are judged differently, depending on how convenient it proves for certain, primarily economic, interests..."
Fr. James Altman (WI pastor), has produced a disturbing video w/RW pol. group, illegitimately smearing all Catholic Dems (2 by name) & even clergy & bishops (@WashArchbishop by name). In doing so he has violated Canon Law & ignored a 1993 Pope JPII directive against such actions.
Fr. James Altman (a pastor) said you cannot be Catholic + a Democrat & that we don't know God, saying at same time (w/smirk) that he doesn't love people in Borneo. Fr. Altman, pls learn the Gospels or perhaps you'd be happier w/ a different job. Bp Callahan @DIOLaCrosse? @USCCB
Won’t share his egregious video but given it's broken thru on social media & RW blogs, we must issue a Public Notice of Canon Law Transgression so all Catholics - including clergy & bishops - learn our pastors should "form consciences, not replace them," as @Pontifex says. @USCCB
The answer to your question, LW, is "because baptism is a sacrament in the Catholic Church and Mass is the way we roll"?
Yes, it's rude for you to skip Mass, even if "Deb" isn't "really religious at all."
We always end up rolling our eyes when people ask Catholicy questions at Dear Prudence.
The eye-rolling comes from the fact that so many of the people who write in with Catholic questions seem to often boil down to something that they could solve with 5 minutes of Googling.
