Go to the people, ping!
Say Mass!!!
Good on him.
Good job Father
He might need some human back up.
I am surprised he wasn’t arrested...or harassed
Not that he should be, but culturally speaking, lots of very anti religious nuts out there.
Even seeing a priest might have triggered them into a crying fetal position event claiming they are a victim.
It’s nice to see a priest taking Matt 28 to heart.
Somebody was being a wise guy when they sent a Jenuwine to Napa.
Seems to have worked out o-k, though. Going by the article and accompanying photo image, he appears to be a genuine soul. Trending on Reddit, the exercise may have positive effects there (too?). Plant a few seeds of [positive] thought, maybe. Possibly more.
And no need for any concern over withholding cup from the laity, there. They bring their own!
I'll wait.
It won't take long for the lecturers to arrive to tell me all about how the cup is not withheld, even though it is, etc., you know, the usual 'making distinctions' in favor of one direction, which although sounds reasonable enough, serves to cover for a few other items of less favorable consideration at the same time. Like I said, the usual. It'll be here any moment, and this time (because I made wisecracks) with charges of it's all my fault because I'm a bad guy, and a hater, and when I'm being hated on that doesn't count, because I'm obviously deplorably irredeemably invincibly ignorant ---since I won't get with somebody else's program to follow along with (behind) them, doing only everything "they" say, and nothing more.
Yeah, I'll wait. Somewhere else.
“we gave away every rosary, every prayer card, every miraculous medal we had,”
Pagan traditions that do not give eternal life.
Wonderful!!! Makes me smile and a bit of tears in eyes too.
I hope this happens more and more.
With all due respect, shut up.
With all due respect, get thee to a caucus thread if you do not wish discussion.

Care to translate that into English?
“I am surprised he wasnt arrested...or harassed”
We do a similar thing on Fraternity Row. People are respectful if you are respectful to them. If you yell at them, they yell at you.
We usually just feed them breakfast from midnight to 3AM
Give the man credit for presenting a Christian witness (even tho it doesn’t align perfectly with your own). BTW how many street corners have you stood on preaching the Gospel?
Full disclosure: lifelong Evangelical Protestant here; former missionary, author, teacher, theologian - ONLY mentioned to counter the inevitable Protestant disdain for any tradition outside of their own.
“Give the man credit for presenting a Christian witness (even tho it doesnt align perfectly with your own). BTW how many street corners have you stood on preaching the Gospel?”
No Gospel witness reported in the article.
He did not preach the gospel.
I was a missionary for years.
The Gospel isn’t about tradition.
Since when is praying a pagan tradition?
I never said praying. Please read again.
Good job father Jenuwine.
