Not Your Father's Anticlericalism?

Yesterday, thousands of users of @Twitter in Spain called for Catholic priests to be burned alive, making it trending topic for hours.

The social network, apparently, does not consider a call to set priests on fire to be in violation of its norms 🧐https://t.co/ClAASGIRkG

On the same day that Pope Francis approved the beatification of 127 Catholics killed in Spain in hatred of the faith in the 20th century, a hashtag calling for Catholic priests to be burned was trending on Twitter in Spain. https://t.co/OwVLwkxeEY

3 Ways of Learning Gregorian Chants?

The abbey of the Valley of the Fallen is the ONLY place in the world where they teach young boys three different ways of learning Gregorian chants.

Making it disappear is a grave loss for world cultural patrimony. The prior released a video explaining it https://t.co/9CDKay96Sp pic.twitter.com/GWToBSdIXk

Who is corrupting Spain?

Happy that "Tender un puente" was launched in Zaragoza at the Centro Pignatelli, a faith and social justice center of the Jesuits. Estoy feliz de que se haya lanzado "Tender un puente" en Zaragoza en el Centro Pignatelli, un centro de justicia social y de la fe de los jesuitas.

A friend wrote: "A room to overflow, with lots of varied people and beliefs, where two-thirds of the room were not 'the usual people.' Testimonies, invitations and challenges provoke spontaneous applause. But above all, a time for listening, meeting and to keep walking.” pic.twitter.com/ruEggCY0G1

The Missionaries of Christ the Redeemer.

I had not heard of the Institute Id of Christ the Redeemer and its charism before until last night at Theology on Tap. I'll have to look into it and its founder, Fernando Rielo, more and see how they fits in with the history of Latin spirituality. (Or Spanish spirituality and theology, for that matter -- quite a few appeals to San Juan de la Cruz last night.) What work are they doing in Spain?
