Made my (second) return to Mass since 'Rona. Just so happened to be Confirmation Sunday!

You already know I *quickened*. We snatched up the organist and everything! (And an older dude; ecumenical marriage, grown Catholic kids, all that. You love to see it! 🙌🏾)

Pray for them!
Plus I finally finessed—with permission—a copy of "Lead Me, Guide Me", the #BlackCatholic hymnal.

A few #BlackPriest friends said to get this edition, as the 2nd doesn't include Dr #TheaBowman's historic(al) prologue.

I always liked this look, anyway. 🖤 Image
Also reconnected w/ the good Br Herman. Then ran into him today at @XULA1925—discovering he's a Spanish professor there and a Dominican brother.

He learned I'm applying to the Josephites, schooled/encouraged me over lunch, and shared this letter he wrote.

So apparently Archbishop Sample of Portland is basically trying to give a "dispensation" from a major requirement of Traditionis Custodes. Lol Image

Looks like +Sample isn't the only one.

The cardinal is live here in DC at @PressClubDC.

Tune in on C-SPAN, NPR Radio, or YouTube.
Q&A session has begun, beginning with a dialogue on COVID-19.

Cardinal Gregory says those Catholics opposing vaccines are on "shaky" ground, since both living popes are vaccinated.
Cardinal Gregory now recalls the day of his elevation to the cardinalate.

Says he's "still trying to figure out" what it means that he's the first African-American red hat.

Also, @XULA1925 is kinda goated for their Daily Mass game (where I ran into Br Herman)...

The chapel is dumb nice—complete with my flavor of modernist architecture, a MASSIVE #BlackJesus above the altar, and Afrocentric stations of the Cross in the side windows. (pics soon!)
Plus we sing at Daily Mass, which = life.

That seems to be a fairly common thing at Black parishes, but this is the only place I've seen full-on 4-hymn sandwich Monday-Friday.

👏🏾Love.👏🏾To.👏🏾See.👏🏾 It.

(Also doesn't hurt that the pianist is amazing and has a beautiful voice.)
Last but not least, they apparently are staffed (at least partially) by @TheJosephites, which is the cherry on top.

While it's literally their job to serve African-Americans, and we're the only Catholic HBCU, it's still cool to see young priests showing out #fortheculture.

but no really: who did this?? 😭

#BlackCatholicHistoryIsCatholicHistory

#BlackCatholicSaints

#BlackBlesseds
Also, who knew "free negroes" ≠ "free people of color"? Apparently the former were those born in slavery, while the latter were those born free. (Gives a lil color to the current "people of color" terminology debate! 😁)

Also, "free negroes" as an academic term makes me giggle.

Josephites wiki is coming right along, by the way! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_o…

Used the Jesuits wiki as a model—for obvious reasons. They're the world's biggest religious order, we're the world's best, and our postnominal (SSJ) is basically the "super" version of theirs (SJ) anyway.
Check out the updated infobox up top (complete with the full list of founders and the official heraldry), the much-expanded history section (used to be one small section), and the brand-new Superior General table (used to just be a list, and of only the guys since like 1988).
Hoping this'll blossom into individual pages—and sources (😁)—for major figures/topics, and eventually into a Wiki "series" on Black Catholicism. (There's series for other Catholic topics, and I tend to envy with stuff like this. 👀)

Excited to learn how to put it all together!

I don't mean to rag on Bishop Barron so much—this has been a spicy week for me—but I can't help but feel like this is an answer about young White people posing as an answer about all young people. americamagazine.org/faith/2020/09/…
While I can't speak for everyone and it might even be a reach, I have it on good sources that young Black people—men included—are actually doing fairly well on theism, the problem of evil, relativism, and even sexual ethics to an extent.

But hey.
He's talking about Reddit, after all, so I imagine the scene skews White, but does he—or anyone—notice? Care?

I get that he wants to respond to the person in front of him, but he shepherds *Los Angeles*. Reddit AMAs are fun (esp Catholic ones), but MAN.

Alas, no dice:
