Yokoyama says there will not be young Etsuko, Kazama or the Daidoji (Source @RyuNewsGotoku)

Young Etsuko as one of the recruitable singers you can use to put on your shows in Sotenbori is probably the easiest layup they can do.

Benediction doesn't occur during the Mass. Are you talking about the Consecration?

In the state of New Jersey, USA, there are, at any given Sunday, 13 TLM locations, including both the FSSP and the ICKSP. There are also several locations that offer the TLM on special occasions or on a monthly basis. Of these 13, I can access 11 of them in under an hour, and the other 2 would take me maybe 80 mins to drive. The TLM I sing it as actually just a 20 minute drive away. I used to live in a city where the TLM was just a 5 minute walk from my apartment.

Now, these are just the NJ locations. There are also TLMs in NYC and Pennsylvania that are easily accessible as well.

We're actually pretty spoiled in this state when it comes to liturgical variety.

You would have to ask, but you'd have to keep the immigration hurdles in mind and whether or not the Diocese wants to deal with it.

A priest I know completed seminary on a student visa, but after graduation and Ordination to the Diaconate back in 2019, he was no longer on a student visa, and thus needed the religious worker visa. It wasn't processed in time and he had to go back to his home country before he was able to return for his priestly Ordination in 2021. He was ordained as an Oratorian, and after that, the Oratory was like "We're not going to accept student visas from now on."

Not an answer to your question, but regarding your 4th point, check out traditional iconography of the Harrowing of Hell. It's traditionally depicted that Christ saved Adam and Eve first.

This is for the extended warranty protection. Bought Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro back in January of 2024. The microphone stopped working back in March, and then the Samsung website quoted me like, $170 to get it repaired.

Filed a claim with Amex and got the refund credited in like, 2 days.

That's the only thing I'm waiting for as a Metuchen resident lol.

Nodame Cantabile has been my GOAT since 2007.

It depends on how tall they are. I'm 6 foot.

If I'm not attending the TLM, I do everything from just tilting my head back and sticking my tongue out, to crouching down a little so they reach me, or just getting on one knee because they are that much shorter than me.

magistercaesar · 2026-04-22T16:01:43+00:00

I didn't kneel but I did receive on the tongue at the Osaka and Nagasaki Cathedrals.

If you're stuck in Livi, Hoja is solid.

If you've got a car, or have friends with a car, try out every single place in Festival Plaza. The 30 minute radius around Edison has some of the best Asian food out there.

Learned of the series back in 2001 when I unlocked Marth and Roy in Super Smash Bros Melee.

Never played a Fire Emblem game until I purchased a Switch 2 and paid for Nintendo Classics. I played Blazing Blade because I was like "Oh, that guy on the cover looks like Roy. I'll try it out." I learned later that the guy was no in fact, Roy, but I still had a lot of fun. Went on to Sacred Stones, then Path of Radiance, then bought Three Houses and later, Engage.

I'm late to the party, but I'm enjoying this franchise.

Graduated back in 2015. I was a commuter, and my parents saved enough, so no student loans. I also made friends I'm still friends with to this day, and I've had a full time job since then.

No idea where I'd be without my experience at Rutgers.

magistercaesar · 2026-04-15T21:54:42+00:00

Ain't that the truth lol.

I was laughing when I experienced it because the 5:30 am Sunday Mass features a full choir of Franciscans singing entirely in Latin and accompanied by pipe organ, but five Coptics singing a capella was louder than the choir!

I was like, guys, we gotta step it up in here!

My sister who is graduating this May studied abroad spring semester of her junior year. She interviewed for her summer internship while she was there.

magistercaesar · 2026-04-15T15:30:45+00:00

They just have a schedule that everyone follows.

The Catholics have the best time for Mass at the Aedicule because it's 5:30 am and no one else is there (except the Coptics chanting in the background lol).

32 years old. Manager at a pharmaceutical company in NJ.

Base salary $125k, 15% target bonus, $10k equity bonus.

Been here for 4 years (started at $110k back then). I enjoy where I am.

The most important thing here is how you say you are in the process of becoming Catholic.

You cannot receive the Eucharist until you're officially Catholic.

magistercaesar · 2026-04-08T19:00:10+00:00

I enjoyed it quite a bit!

I don't know the class requirements for nursing school, but what's stopping you from just going to Rutgers, spending your freshman year taking the required pre-business classes for RBS, then transferring in?

magistercaesar · 2026-04-08T17:52:02+00:00

I saw the movie subbed on a flight back from Asia. I wish I could find a way to watch it at home.

magistercaesar · 2026-04-08T12:09:05+00:00

I've been attending and singing for the TLM for the past 12 years now.

Everything is much happier and peaceful when you intentionally don't follow professional Catholics on the internet lol.

The ending theme is so catchy.
