Torture Amnesty Day
(Jimmy Akin)
In connection with torture, people have been very forthcoming with information in the comboxes, and as a show of good faith for their willingness to share this information with us, I am declaring today Torture Amnesty Day.
People will not be tied to torture posts today.
Posts will be about other subjects entirely.
Torture may resume tomorrow, however.

Well, that's nice. A whole day off for those who have an intrinsically disordered inclination towards contraception, same sex friendships, speculative thought, St Louis Jesuits' music, welcoming the (immigrant) stranger, English/vernacular liturgy, not taking themselves too dam seriously, suffering other fools gladly, living and letting live - GAUDIUM ET SPES!!!
St Andrew, pray for us

Dear JW:
I don't understand you. Honest.
Well, God Bless, I'm off to play piano.

JW,
Does the Church have some kind of problem with same-sex friendships? I hope not. I have several friends of the same sex (we're all males).

I understand this much of JW's comment:
"intrinsically disordered inclination towards ... St Louis Jesuits' music,"
That IS a disturbing inclination.

Torture amnesty day.
Does this mean I don't have to go to my statistics class today?

JW,
What? I think a day off from that those that have a disordered view of Christianity.
We should make all of you sit through 1000, well done Novis Ordo masses, then go minister to the (immigrant) stranger, top it off with Visiting Aids patients with the Sisters of Charity, and a reinactment of ST. Francis embracing the leper.
Maybe that would make you more human (in the best Christ centered way.)

"1000 well done Novus Ordo masses"
I'd like to sit through just one.

Somehow we all ended up talking about torture, anyway . . .

Okay, everyone: do not, I mean do not, not, not, think about your tongue.

Life is a comedy for those of us who think, and a tragedy for those of us who feel.
