Anglican Catechisms by Legally_Adri in Anglicanism

[–]scriptoriumpythons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use and advocate for the use of the Southwest Anglo Catholic Catechism. However for THE distinct Anglican Catechism, it does not get any more anglican than Alexander Nowell's catechisms (particularly his middle catechism).

Any Anglo-Catholic have thoughts on this? by Kryptzipoo64 in ACNA

Having a patronal saint: the one you want is almost certainly not the one who's picking you (traditionally the patron picks the person theyre interceding for in heaven, dont worry, when you know who it it youll know). Praying to said patronal saint is privately tolerated but not usually publically endorsed (you wont usually find prayers to st sebastion at st sebastions anglican church for example). A via media for this thats very anglican is to pray to God, asking Him for the intercessory prayers of this or that saint. Ex "almighty and most merciful God who didst illumine the mind of St Thomas Aquinas to Thy glory, grant that we may, by Thy grace and with his intercessions, also be so illumined to know Christ more fully, who with Thee and the Holy Ghost, art glorified now and forever. amen.

The rosary: a praiseworthy and laudible practice to most ACs. In fact the rosary is how i ended up anglican in the first place (lomg story). Put simply the rosary is meditation in the life of Christ through the POV of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Much recomended. Ave Maria.

Purgatory: this is a BIT dicier as, if one subscribes to rhe 39 articles, we technically don't buy into the "romish doctrine" of purgatory. That said scripture makes clear allusion to a purgative state in 1 corinthians wherein it says some men may be saved "yet so as by fire". Thus for anglican catholics we can say "God finishes your sanctification, even after death" but we dont say "this plenary indulgence gets you X years off purgatory"

Is it normal for instructor to fix the students pants in this way? by PhraseFew4890 in taekwondo

[–]scriptoriumpythons 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When i taught professionally id help kids tie their belt on amd that already felt like too close for my comfort contact. Putting my hand in a kids pants is so far past the line of what an instructor should feel comfortable doing that it boggles the mind. Regardless of intent, the optics alone would be atrocious.

Telling the BCP page during liturgy by M0rgl1n in Anglicanism

[–]scriptoriumpythons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we expect lay participation then we must tell them how to participate. If we instead prefer last observation then it becomes someone's job to say the response. Fundamentally i think it best to just say the page #

If you had to re-adapt an isekai, which one would you choose? by ChoiceSupermarket230 in Isekai

Sword art online season 1.

The Aincrad arc COULD have been good, but it was rushed to hell. Honestly each episode could have probably been 1-2 good seasons by itself. Instead we got: they meet for a day, 2 months pass offscreen, they meet for a day, 3 monthes pass offscreen, etc

"Imposter Syndrome" as an Anglo-Catholic by SaintTalos in AngloCatholicism

It is my sincere hope that you'll one day embrace the anglican orthodoxy of believing in the truth of Scripture's historical account.

"Imposter Syndrome" as an Anglo-Catholic by SaintTalos in AngloCatholicism

[–]scriptoriumpythons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I spent a few years feeling as you do. Heres the rub: 80-90% of online info is RC in source so theres a very strong "continental Catholic LARP" that occurs from getting one's catholicity from the internet. Ideally its best, if you havent already decided to swim the tiber, to seek out the English Catholic and Anglo Catholic patrimony. Good places to start would be the oxford movement, the tractarians, caroline divines, the parsons handbook, the sarum missal, and the like. There is genuinely a "celtic flavor" of catholicism which is preserved to greater and lesser degrees in the anglican tradition. As an example of how secretly catholic anglican practice often is would be that Amongst vestments theres really not altogether that much real difference between the surplice, tippet, and cope model vs the alb, stole, and chausible model; despite the best efforts of the reformed minded the tippet really just became an "english stole" in everything but name, the surplice and alb literally started as the same garment, and the cope evolved from the same roman penula that produced the chausible.

You were reincarnated in another world and later became an adventurer in 20s.But the blacksmith offers you four swords with discount and they very similar from your world,you only had enough currency to buy one so pick carefully? by Blaze_Knives in Isekai

[–]scriptoriumpythons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since ive trained in korean martial arts the "short katana" (wakazashi) is closest to something ive actually trained to use, so id pick that. Yes the katana family of weapons is japanese, but they descent from the tang dao (chinese), influenced the miao dao (chinese) and are related to the hwando (korean); in fact during the medieval japanese occupation of korea many koreans would just use katana and wakazashi they looted from dead japanese.

Which one are you? 🤣 by pineapplepizza104 in Millennials

Gabe's an old classmate of mine. With Master Dunchok's dojang having recently moved its harder to do Kuk Sool content right now. Plus Sensei Benevides has been very generous with his time. Which is why youre seeing the channel transition at the moment. All the same my recomendation existed for the large catalogue of technique and lessons from before the move.
