1/ #CatholicTwitter: with all this talk on watered down theology/modernism I’m rightfully triggered. I’m going to slightly vent. Those of us that have the background/education in theology—well grounded of course—have a duty to bring clarity. All in charity.

2/ Yes, Twitter priests count. This hits particularly close to home. As a Consecrated Virgin, I’ve witnessed far too many not living their vocation to the fullest. And maybe, just maybe there isn’t bad intent in some cases. Something legitimately got lost along the way.
