I think this is from Threads but I found it on Instagram (so here I am sharing it on BSky!):

social media post from "kona404: "Republicans believe life begins at conception and ends when it's too late to call a special election for a replacement"

Sharing both because neither had alt text but that second one sure is a doozy

Tweet from Institute for Hispano Studies (@hispano_studies):
“The decline of Brazilian football: a story in four pictures”

The photos show two popes greeting, presumably, Brazilian footballers; a footballer in a “I belong to Jesus” jersey; and someone being prayed over by a lay person, in the Protestant/evangelical manner

Tweet from Institute for Hispano Studies (@hispano_studies): “The discourse connecting Brazilian soccer to Protestantism points to a deeper cultural claim: that Brazil's football decline is not merely tactical, generational, or administrative, but spiritual and civilizational.

The argument is that the old Brazilian style — playful, communal, improvised, joyful, almost liturgical in its beauty — emerged from a Catholic cultural world where celebration, embodiment, festivity, and collective identity were natural. Football was art, dance, procession, neighborhood, and gift.

The critique of Evangelical or Neopentecostal influence is not simply “religion made them worse.” It is that a different religious imagination produces a different kind of athlete: more individualistic, more testimonial, more focused on personal salvation, discipline, destiny, and moral performance. In that framework, football can become less carnaval and more career; less shared national myth and more platform for the individual believer.

Brazil's decline obviously has many causes: tactics, European club football, federation dysfunction, money, coaching, player development, and global competition. But the religious argument touches something statistics miss: the loss of a national soul, or at least the feeling that Brazil no longer plays with the same sacred joy.

1950s 95%
1960s 95%
1970s 90%
1980s 85%
1990s 70%

Oh no! Can’t have that!

Screenshot from Wikipedia (on Lefebvre) with the following highlighted: “He and other missionaries in Africa thought young Africans would otherwise be attracted to radical ideologies, including anti-colonialism”

Regorama!@regipsaloquitur· Jul 5

The absolute fucking gall. This is the same argument some religionists use to prove that Jesus was the son of good. Bitch, have you ever met a person‽ We are cray.

Screenshot of text: “On another occasion, Archbishop Lefebvre declared, serenely and in a profoundly supernatural manner, that if the Society of Saint Pius X were not the work of God, it would not continue and would not survive him. It is not for us to provide an answer to this question. But history has already begun to pronounce itself.”

DEFINITELY claiming to be the one true church, here:

Snippet from fsspx.news’ interview with the Superior General: “What is certain is that in 1988 the Vatican expected that the Society of Saint Pius X, having been declared schismatic, would dissolve within a few years. Yet not only did it not dissolve, it continued to grow. And above all, despite a manifestly unjust declaration of schism, it has never ceased to be a work of the Church, and to labour for the Church: this reality imposes itself with such force that, despite the condemnation of 1988, the Holy See itself has ended up recognizing it in practice.”

Regorama!@regipsaloquitur· Jul 3

Well, THIS is interesting:

Snippet from fsspx.news’ interview with the Superior General: “Speaking canonically, after having been declared schismatic in 1988, the Society of Saint Pius X has never been released from this censure: in 2009, Pope Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications weighing upon its bishops, but without revisiting the prior declaration of schism.”

Well, she’s got me there! Definitely don’t have a response for this 😅 (#1)

screenshot of a text: “And, exorcists will often admit that Latin is the most effective language in battling Satan. Some people feel that more attention to worshipping in Latin might counter what appears to be a recent growth in Satanism, something they feel is harmful in our culture.”

Ah, it turns out ̶i̶t̶’̶s̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶e̶t̶h̶i̶c̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶j̶o̶u̶r̶n̶a̶l̶i̶s̶m̶ ̶ it’s really about the beauty of Latin, the Latin mass, and the classical music composed for those masses. (#1)

Screenshot of a text: “That's interesting. The people I know love the Old Rite (Tridentine). Mozart and Beethoven composed Masses for it. I've learned that the choir director at [redacted] was a closet traditionalist while there; as a musician, he longed to direct works that were written for the Old Rite and which can be used with the Novus Ordo in incomplete fashion at best. Other musicians I have met feel the same. A Mozart Mass was sung at St. Mary's for Easter; the beauty was breathtaking.”

When a Catholic says "we aren't anti-semitic we just have problems with Vatican II", you should hear "we aren't pro-slavery, we just support states' rights".

screenshot of a text: "The Godparents of [redacted] and [redacted] are SSPX from the 1970s, before the 1988 ordinations. Over the years we’ve had many hours-long conversations regarding the status of the Society. When the Godmother passed away, we attended her (SSPX) funeral, but did not receive Holy Communion, since our two communities are clearly not in communion."

Regorama!@regipsaloquitur· Jul 2

screenshot of a text: All my sons (except [redacted]) have friends who are involved w SSPX. In particular, a friend of one of my sons was recently married in an SSPX ceremony. At the time, my son was grateful the marriage —-which my son was invited to and attended—- was consecrated before July 1. Had the wedding been performed in July, he knew he would have had difficulty attending the wedding in conscience."

The first sister (confusingly, #2) has confirmed her schismatic proclivities.

Screenshot of a text snippet. The conversation is called “Council of the Sisters” (yes, I really named it that); greenbubble (me) says, “wow! anyone following the Lefebvrist stuff??” and a redacted replies responds “Yes. My sons are praying”

Presumably, her daughters aren’t schismatic.

My friend posted this to Insta and I'm like…………I know exactly where I'd wear them (but I have way better hooves. Neiman Marcus better step BACK from the Krampus market).

$2350 Givenchy "Leather Fringe Sandals" that look like hooves but are stiletto and not nearly as sturdy as the custom digitigrade hooves I bought on Esty and not nearly as comfortable as my tabi kitten heels.

This is hilarious. For as long as the discipline has existed, economists have claimed that profit is the highest good (a moral statement). Now,seeing the world that unfettered capitalism has wrought,a single glimmer of self-reflection. I don’t doubt that they will conclude they were right all along.

screenshot of an Apple News alert: the Economist has an article called “How should economists treat morality?”

I just learned of this incredible prayer by Mark Twain—

“Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth into battle—be Thou near them! With them—in spirit—we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended in the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames in summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it—
For our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimmage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet!
We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

In case anyone else had to google this (now, after reading it, I remember it, but I didn't when I read your list):sc

screenshot of a tweet from Mike Primavera, @primawesome:

My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so I asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying.

Search your camera roll for “Hell”

three frames of Gowran, seen through a circular hole. In the first, we see his face and the caption, “Hello?” In the second, we see less of his face, zooming in on it, and caption, “Is anyone there?!” In the final, we see only his eye and the caption, “I seek glory!”

spam text exchange:

spammer: What are your plans for tomorrow?

me: who wants to know

spammer: I'm Emily. Is this my friend Lucy?

me: oh my god, EMILY!! I was wondering what happened to you!! No one knew for MONTHS, where have you been???

spammer: I'm sorry, I checked my phone and found I entered the wrong number. I hope I didn't bother you.

me: oh shit. I hope Emily's okay.
