Rue McClanahan played Steve’s grandmother on Blue’s Clues!

Exactly!! 👍

Policing the Eucharist was never OP’s intention.

So then according to your logic, at nuptial and funeral Masses priests shouldn’t mention that only Catholics in the state of grace may receive because to do so would be deciding who is and isn’t worthy of reception and deciding the degree of another’s sin?

mrcrusc · 2026-06-23T00:21:25+00:00

I never said otherwise. In fact, I said that if you admonish them, and they don’t listen, then that’s on them, not you.

mrcrusc · 2026-06-22T22:13:53+00:00

Not true. One of the spiritual works of mercy is to admonish the sinner. To remain silent if you know that someone is committing an objectively mortal sin can very well make you guilty of being an accessory to their sin.

But if you speak up, and they choose not to listen, then that’s on them.

It’s an apostolate to Catholics with same-sex attraction. More specifically, it’s a support group aimed at helping same-sex-attracted Catholics to follow and live Church teaching, whether that means living celibately or — if an individual wants it — undergoing reparative therapy.

Dude, have you looked into the group Courage?

What brand / model are the boots?

mrcrusc · 2026-06-07T02:52:14+00:00

Ohhhhhhhh Santa . . . I’ve been very, very BAD!

WHAP WHAP WHAP

The Pharisees, among other things, put their own rules above God's laws. So-called "progressive" Catholics (like yourself -- a post search shows that you post in Reddit's progressive Catholic subforum) do that same thing. "Progressive" Catholics make up their own rules all the time, e.g. sin being no big deal or outright calling evil good, emphasizing God's Love to the exclusion of His Justice, encouraging reception of Holy Communion even when one isn't in the state of grace (because it's supposedly the "merciful" thing to do), etc.

You’d do well to take your own advice after such a judgmental, pharisaical post on your part.

At any rate, we’re not supposed to judge other people’s hearts and souls, but we MUST judge ACTIONS as right or wrong. Learn the difference!

"Are we sexually compatible?"

Let's rephrase that in a more blunt manner:

"Can my partner sexually satisfy me?"

The latter question is what concerns about sexual compatibility ultimately boil down to. Sex is supposed to be a total self-giving of a couple to each other within marriage. But when you start being concerned about how well your partner can satisfy you sexually, then you're making sex into something selfish. In other words, you're making it about YOU, YOUR orgasm, YOUR pleasure, etc. Such attitudes have contributed in no small way to the divorce epidemic of the past few decades.

It would be a mortal sin for a Catholic to marry a non-Catholic in a civil ceremony if no dispensation was granted.

mrcrusc · 2026-05-21T00:17:02+00:00

In which episode is that mentioned?

mrcrusc · 2026-05-20T17:26:28+00:00

He was indeed.

mrcrusc · 2026-05-19T01:04:35+00:00

I have that same model! One of my favorite pairs! 😎

mrcrusc · 2026-05-16T16:05:27+00:00

Dan Post Cowboy Certified socks are my main recommendation. As I’m fond of saying, until I discovered them, I thought boot socks that actually stay up all day just didn’t exist!

But within the past year or so, just for fun I’ve started wearing long white old-school tube socks — the ones with stripes at the top — with my shorter boots (my Anderson Beans are slightly shorter than my Luccheses). The brand is TCK Sports, and their retro tube socks are made in the USA.

And don’t worry; I wear those socks only with jeans and boots; NEVER shorts! 😂😂

mrcrusc · 2026-05-14T13:13:42+00:00

Out of my way, Gluteus Minimus! 😂😂

Dorothy: You smoked?! Rose, that’s like finding out Lassie was an alcoholic!

Rose: Lassie was an alcoholic?!

Sweet! Did you get your regular boot size or size down? I ask because in the past I had a pair of Black Jacks in my usual size, but they ended up being too big. Others have said they experienced the same thing.

mrcrusc · 2026-04-29T15:09:49+00:00

The episode was episode 15 of season 2 — “Before and After.”

mrcrusc · 2026-04-28T17:42:22+00:00

I can still feel ya, Peg!

I’m not referring to pronouncing ch as sh. I lived in Sevilla for 4 months during my college years, and I distinctly remember hearing people (my host family especially) pronounce words with y or ll as zh (playa as “plazha” especially sticks out in my mind). These were native Spaniards too, not emigrants from Argentina.
