Good morning all on this Ash Wednesday & the beginning of Lent

There is no doctrine in Catholicism that one “logs off” for Lent. That is abandoning the lay faithful & those whose salvation may depend on your periodically sound content. Reasonably sure Pius IX said always to post through Lent - indeed post through all of life’s travails

“Never stop posting - never log off, and remember that Purgatory involves a thorough review of all your bad content” ~ Clovis, ‘Against The Republic’ (date unknown)

There are journos and others here who cannot be left unsupervised - your Christian duty remains to correct error in and out of season lest it leads people astray - or worse into one of those weird “affirming” protestant sects

As it is Ash Wednesday, so use the fountain pens of the late family - herewith my late grandfather’s Dunhill fountain pen. One’s transient existence never more reinforced than being at least the third generation to use a particular pen to draft a ‘life and death’ urgent agreement
