Holy Timothy and Anastasius, Pray for Us!

Today, we honour St. Timothy the Apostle. An early Christian evangelist and the first bishop of Ephesus, he was a disciple of St. Paul. St. Timothy's father was Greek, which meant he was one of the uncircumsized, but that didn't stop St. Paul from trusting and mentoring him. pic.twitter.com/CD4hAz8qqM

And a Dominican response:

I recall a problem in the past when a certain religious order tried to develop a local theology in China. If memory serves, that didn't work out so well. https://t.co/8Y2CchI9SS
