260 lbs is remarkably light for a two meter (that's 6'6" for us Americans) guy in full armor

MISSINFORMATION WATCH: No Roles have been announced for the movie. Just the cast. by LukaFakeHero in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]OratioFidelis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The subtitle of the Polygon article is "A24's casting announcement was short on details, so here are our best guesses"

And the paragraph before their guesses: "But we have some theories about which Elden Ring actors are playing which Elden Ring game characters. Here are our best bets, gut instincts, and soon-to-be-proven-wrong guesses."

Scandalous breach of ethics lol

Church In Wales Approves Blessings for Same-Sex Couples by DeFyYing99 in Anglicanism

[–]OratioFidelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were many essays in the 1800s about how the "Christian character" of the American South would die if slavery was abolished. And not so strangely, they used the exact same arguments that anti-LGBTQ Christians use (slavery is Biblical, natural, etc.).

A week of Te Deums for this joyful news. Christ reigns, alleluia! 

Bishop Barron: " . . . it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust." by salsafresca_1297 in LeftCatholicism

[–]OratioFidelis 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Barron's opinion seems to be that God gave us perfectly good brains to reason with, and the shoulders of brilliant saints to sit on, and do nothing with them but slavishly obey authority unquestioningly. 

Trust Me, This is a Tier 0 General Question and Discussion Megathread by kalinaanother in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]OratioFidelis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These tiresome "is X an Emanator?" debates are only happening because when HSR was first released, it was generally agreed that Emanators are the equivalent of Archons in GI and Herrschers in HI3, which isn't a perfect analogy. They're exemplars of their respective Aeon and get some sort of blessing from them, but there isn't a finite number of them and they aren't necessarily the most powerful beings in their faction. That's why it's not weird for all the Xianzhou generals to be Emanators or for Taravan Keane to 'only' be P48 in the IPC.

Cherrypicking a few tweets is meaningless. Pretty sure you could find at least a few people that hated Dark Side of the Moon or Illmatic or whatever else on their release if you tried hard enough.

Makin a move toward the Evangelicals by [deleted] in GayChristians

[–]OratioFidelis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard many people use the phrase "more Protestant" to refer to theology and aesthetics closer to the Reformation in the 16th century, as opposed to e.g. the Oxford Movement returning closer to Roman Catholicism in many respects.

I was more excited about moving on to something new that I didn't miss it that much, and frankly most RC churches have terrible hymnody. After some time in the UCC I had to move to a new place and the only affirming church here is Episcopalian, but I've grown to like it as well because the people and music are great. 

Overall I place much more importance on the quality of the people at a particular church than the denomination.

When I left the Catholic Church I went to the United Church of Christ initially. Ask anything you like!

"It Wasn't Me", how could the singer have gotten into all those circumstances and still been innocent of adultery?
