sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Why not? The SSPX is doing pretty well under Francis, despite being in "irregular communion" for 40 years. The priests of the Diocese of Ahiara refused to accept their bishop for five years until they finally got someone from their own tribe, and never suffered any consequences. The Coptic Pope Tawadros II leads a church that has been in schism for over 1500 years and he just celebrated Divine Liturgy at Saint Peter's earlier this year.
It’s a complicated process, but the distribution of assets is covered by Canon law if the monastery were suppressed, and the Vatican could include the diocese in the distribution. These Nuns are not getting good advice. I do think they have been abused; they enjoyed a great deal of autonomy and the respect and spiritual support from laity and the Diocese for many years. They seem to be truly caught off guard, as they say, and reacting under the pressure of this imposed isolation and humiliation.
