Did the Church of England get any money from GAFCON churches? That now with this split they will no longer receive?
And if not, will there be any negative impact to the Church of England’s bottom line?

Re: New "Archbishop" of Canterbury is a woman
Days after the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, was appointed, visitors were surprised by a new display simulating graffiti painted over the masonry of one of England’s most famous places of worship. U.K.-based news outlet The Times reported that, according to those working at...

Re: "Mystery of Edwin Drood" - Charles Dickens
There's a quote in the narration during this section... after Mr. Honeythunder directed some negative claims at the role of Minor Canon (compared to that of a Philanthropist). The narrator expounds on the role of clergy thusly: He (Mr. Chrisparkle) was simply and staunchly true to his duty alike in ...

Re: "Mystery of Edwin Drood" - Charles Dickens
This Mr Honeythunder is such a card of a character. Such a pompous, self-important blowhard.... all in the name of philanthropy. Some context: Neville and Helena (brother and sister) were orphans in the charge of the philanthropy group that Mr. Honeythunder is associated with. Neville and Helena are...

Re: Why is contemporary liturgical music so terrible?
The song "Go Make a Difference" by Steve Angrisano... your liturgical minister kept using that song over and over. Kids would always act goofy and start making up different words for "Difference" like "Taco". Then you add all of the corny clapping that people would add ...

"Mystery of Edwin Drood" - Charles Dickens
This is Dickens' last novel, he died while writing it. There is a section of it that had me cracking up. A character named Mr. Honeythunder is a philanthropist for a very uncharitable sort... and demands everyone else be just as philanthropical as himself. This section had me thinking of Chesterton'...

Re: New "Archbishop" of Canterbury is a woman

From 2012 when asked about her stance on abortion: “I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue as pro-choice rather than pro-life, although if it were a continuum I would be somewhere along it moving towards pro-life when it relates to my choice and then enabling choice when it ...

Re: New "Archbishop" of Canterbury is a woman
Fr. Dwight Longenecker: If Pope Leo or a Catholic prelate says nice things about the appointment of an Anglican archbishop all it means is that they have good manners. It is not a theological statement. It’s really hard to separate the two… if I were progressive I would say “that’s nice of you to s...

Re: How is Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act different from....
That's good to know. Thanks. Reading more about the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act it is kind of confusing. Maybe BAIPA didn't require as rigorous care for the baby who survived it. Because the only thing I can see is that the new act is very explicit about ensuring that the child rece...

How is Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act different from....
I've been following this kerfuffle with Cardinal Cupich and Dick Durbin. I listened to how Durbin would not support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. It sounds pretty grim and debased indeed. I then read his argument against it which stated that we already have BAIPA (Born Alive Infa...

Re: Brideshead Revisited
I literally don't understand this conversation. It's a 80-year-old book (time-tested!) that Catholics are willing to read. The reason certain books are consistently read is that avid readers learn from experience which books generate interest and edify them in their faith. When a book stops doing th...

Re: Middle School and The Outsiders
I am frankly relieved to hear that there are still places that assign the traditional, modern childhood classics. I shudder to think of the alternative reading in other schools. Pfalk, be grateful the kid is reading this book. You realize she wrote this when she was a teenager, right? And that mean...

Re: Middle School and The Outsiders
What is wrong with it? It is an age-appropriate, easy-to-read book that is time-tested, popular with youth, and encourages reading. You know what else they are going to read? Where The Red Fern Grows To Kill A Mockingbird And I bet they read The Phantom Toolbooth Charlotte's Web and perhaps even Th...

Middle School and The Outsiders
My son is in 8th grade and he came home with The Outsiders by SE Hinton. I was in middle school in 1991 and I remembered reading that book as well. At work I brought up the movie for The Outsiders and commented how when I first saw that movie I was cheering on the Socials. And everyone in that conve...

Re: "The Judas Tree" - AJ Cronin
There's an interest parallel between this book and The Hobbit, regarding a journey that presents itself for one to go on. The start of that journey is, if nothing else, the break from all of the cozy comforts of one's life. But hopefully more, a development of virtue and a rooting out of vice. Bilbo...
