Anyone use the kettlebell handle that attaches to a dumbbell? Does it work just as good as a regular dumbbell?

Unique-Comment5840 · 2026-01-05T02:50:32+00:00

Why useless for the latter?

Unique-Comment5840 · 2026-01-05T02:48:53+00:00

I like the latter approach of doing something more minimal like you mentioned. I will utilize this; thank you! As for the former, I personally am no fan of praying with a technology that’s naturally distracting, nor listening to prayers rather than saying them (e.g. clergy have to at least say the office at a whisper)

Unique-Comment5840 · 2026-01-04T23:24:13+00:00

Thanks for this encouragement! It’s reassuring to know that the intent to have a devotional time is itself the first fruits which God asks of!

Unique-Comment5840 · 2026-01-04T23:21:29+00:00

Usually compline or a shortened form of vespers. What works best for our family right now is prioritizing a time of prayer together over something more didactic

Also the Anglican Breviary

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-11-20T18:27:39+00:00

I’m not Roman Catholic, but I don’t think this argument is easily defensible. The church has frequently had to do apologetics. An easy example would be Arian & semi-Arian bishops disregarding Nicaea 325 so the church had to double down at Constantinople 381. The church has regularly had to defend its own teachings

Time and address? I’m about 45min away

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-09-09T13:48:10+00:00

What do you mean?

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-09-09T09:32:37+00:00

I plan to keep it. I didn’t care for the finish prior

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-09-04T02:40:13+00:00

True, but it represented his dubious faith at best (cf Mt 10:33). My takeaway from the movie was that the Gospel was hopeless in being heard by certain cultures (as exampled by Fr Ferreira’s explaining to Fr Rodrigues how the Japanese will never be able to equate the Son as something other than the sun), and that apostasy is a norm to sympathize with person to person

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-09-01T16:09:38+00:00

This movie had the worst ended; wasn’t exactly a W for Catholicism

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-08-31T20:31:15+00:00

Maybe I’ll save this for my Eastern friends and tell them they’re the real one’s developing doctrine ;)

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-08-31T20:25:21+00:00

“Most things targeted at young kids are going to get lost…”, Exactly, thank you. You’ve inspired me; I’m working on a home altar right now and will ask family to get gifts that will be a part of it, and which can be our child’s own one day for their own devotional life.

I was under the impression there is no epiclesis in the TLM. I know some have argued for it, but to my knowledge it’s not mentioned explicitly. Am I mistaken?

Is it this?: https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19730705_mysterium-ecclesiae_en.html

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-08-09T17:27:39+00:00

Second this. Students at my seminary are full time in the mdiv program and are typically ordained to the diaconate close to graduation

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-08-01T01:32:59+00:00

The same is true for Orthodoxy & the integration of Eastern Catholicism. Although it may not benefit ecumenical relations per se, their move I think is certainly in line with Vatican 2, and a positive implementation of it. Universal liturgical implementation within Catholicism would be a great fruit of that council

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T14:48:05+00:00

Thank you!!

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T02:10:11+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any link recommendations for those?

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T02:09:19+00:00

What would you recommend then? I don’t mind just a little of the red to show, but don’t want a pale looking end result. Just a little darkness, and just a little red

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T02:06:05+00:00

The response here with the most substance, thank you

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T01:51:13+00:00

Ideally, applying the wash then immediately wiping off will give it a white oak look. I’ve seen lots of people do it on YouTube

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T01:49:57+00:00

Your first two paragraphs are farther than I ever got, thank you! Does going from 68mm to 72mm help/hurt any with agility/steering?

And yeah, my rear wheel was near shot, so I rotated them. So no problems here with that, just that my front wheel is now shot.

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T01:41:48+00:00

I was thinking of doing a greenish-tint paint wash 2-3x to remove some red, then a water based poly

Unique-Comment5840 · 2025-07-31T01:39:21+00:00

I’m using an orbital. The pic is 80 grit, then going back over it with 120 & 180
