I cant help but think this was bad manners. A protest. female bishop was invited to a Cath. ordination and in her thank you remarks demands ordination for Catholic women. Afterwards perhaps but not at the ceremony. #theology https://t.co/REQtCAz8t3

The Father loves the Son, and the Son loves the Father, and out of their eternal love proceeds the Holy Spirit, three persons subsisting in the one divine essence.

Not as Bad as "Monkey Jesus"
While the Ottomans eventually covered the Pantokrator mosaic, it continued to be visible until the 17th century. It was briefly uncovered by the Fossati brothers, who started restoring Hagia Sophia in 1847. This is the crude watercolor made when it was uncovered. pic.twitter.com/uwU1FzPTT9

Some Leeway?
While a well-meaning gesture, blesseds should not be included in the Litany of the Saints except in the particular Churches or religious institutes in whose proper calendars they have been inscribed. See Directory on Popular Piety, 235. https://t.co/mT2Q4bP66i
— Fr. Pius Pietrzyk OP (@PiusOP) May 29, 2021
This is Latin centralization? Should a particular Church with a special cult to a person be able to recognize that person in its public liturgy? Roman canon law allows for that this but says it mst be done through an official "legislative" act and not extemporaneously. Even if spontaneity were to be "permitted," should it be up to the discretion of whoever is planning the liturgy, rather the bishop in consultation with the people?
The Latin View
Christ is the uncreated Word of the Father, the eternal Son of God. He is the wisdom of the Father who has become human for our sake. The Holy Spirit is the eternally spirated Love of the Father and the Son who has been sent into the world to sanctify the Church pic.twitter.com/XRMNaqAF76

Eastern Christian Books: An Omnium Gatherum of Articles and Books on Synods and Synodality
DeVille is an egalitarian with respect to certain levels but he gives no principled reason for this egalitarianism not being applied to holy orders as well. (Perhaps he would just throw up his hands and say something about "unchanging Tradition.) With the way the churches are decaying, it may not be possible for him to find enough men to make parish councils 50% men.
