No One Can Take Anything

Pressures. 

I feel horrible about it. A hyperbolic comment, mostly in jest, about how someone's 'soothing voice' makes me more receptacle to their 'bad ideas' now has me as the bane of a social group. I was in a conversation about revising the folk songbook, and now people associate my opinions on the songbook with my opinions on someone's 'soothing voice' and 'bad ideas.' I also am frustrated that apostrophes go on the outside of the period, it's so dumb. I offered the person in question the freedom to be a part of the committee of revising the book, but either at the advisement of her friend or something else, this did not seem to satisfy my crime.

Never mind, apologies were made. But now of course I feel awful about it.

I wish I didn't immediately feel terrible after someone apologizes. It makes me feel like I'm in the wrong, and maybe I was.

I suspect that most of this blog will be about subjects like this.

Bleh.

I wish I wasn't so weird.

Neoliberals, homosexuals, minimalists, abstractionists... Artists on whom could be written two cent rags and tabloids. A quick Wikipedia search reveals more than one would desire to know. Yet I feel that each pulsates with a form of orthodoxy that perhaps once their souls were conformed to, and which, inadvertently or not, they cannot help but express. Souls who are so attached to their crooked ways, though look on fondly at the "lighter path" of Catholicism

A Proposition

26/09/2021 A Proposition Concerning the Local and Diocesan Use Of the Lorrha or Stowe Missal Of the Celtic Rite  Made to The Most Rev. David L. Ricken  Of the Diocese of Green Bay Your Excellency, In our present age of the Church, among the varying topography of liturgical and ritual practices, each with the pious intent of adherence to the infallible and orthodox decrees of the Magisterium, there has been felt an increasing intrigue among both the laity and clergy concerning the early ecclesiastical traditions which led to the genesis of both the Ordinary and Extraordinary forms of the Mass.  These traditions, exhibited by the patristic heritage found within both the East and West, were the product of the wisdom of those Church Fathers who, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit presiding within the Apostolic succession, brought forth liturgies and rituals which were found pleasing to God and wholly necessary for the spiritual wellbeing of the faithful. Such liturgies were the s
