This is a walk-through of the Mass, narrated by Fulton Sheen in the 1940s:

Is it any wonder that many insist the brand-new Mass of 1970 looks like an entirely different religion?

Traditional Catholics want to worship and believe and practice the Faith as the Church always has until the recent revolution.

No guitars. No gay Jesuit showtunes. No dad jokes, No altar girls. No women welcoming us to get things started. No receiving the Host standing and on the hand. No nonsense.

Just the holy sacrifice of the Mass.

Let's say you had a forum that was private and at high risk of censorship. If the forum URL gets leaked then it would be possible for the relays to see all the events that belong to that forum.

In the spiritually malnourished first half of my life, my ministers made fun of the idea that Jesus is either a commercialized sweet and helpless little baby in a manger or an effeminate helpless dead man nailed to a pagan cross.

Instead, we were to think of him in "truth" -- as the one who would soon come riding down from heaven on a white horse with a rod of iron, taking charge as King of kings and Lord of lords, ruling over a geopolitical kingdom on earth for 1000 years.

I never observed a Christmas or an Easter growing up -- because those were pagan, worldly holidays.

So now, of course, I am especially nourished by meditating on the joyful and sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. I don't take them for granted, but feed my soul with them.

Christmas and the Easter triduum are special times for us (my wife grew up the same way I did), even though we don't have any family memories of them as children.

Please pray for my aging parents, one of which is struggling in a nursing home. They have never progressed beyond their false religion.

To their angels, to our Holy Mother, to St. Padre Pio, to St. Jude Help of the Hopeless, to St. Monica -- I ask, Pray for us.

Help such enemies of the Church even invisibly, behind the scenes, for the salvation of their souls and to the glory of God.

This is my prayer literally every day.

A message is more nicely formatted as a blog post style. It lets you format the text in markdown. A drop is just a simple text document. Just for a simple data dump. More like a code editor layout than a blog post. And a drop lets you download the text as a .txt file.

I'm also curious to know what this drop thing is.

Oh cool. I often find myself using the drop for the same thing. It's a convenient way to get something from one device to another. Particularly to my phone where I can just scan the qr.

Thank you for telling me. I appreciate that. Did you end up using it for the prayer forum?

Thank you very much!
