LibDem troubles...

Layla Moran not treading on Swinson’s toes today but told she is privately “much more on board” with a potential anti-no deal alliance with Corbyn and others

Allies say she is less tribal than Swinson and would deal with anyone opposing no deal...

it was not in her nature to question the veracity of a young man of such amiable appearance as Wickham

I like the smattering of LDs 'cutting up' their membership cards, posting the same pic each time...

And I've never heard anyone who wasn't on the Right mention Seamus Milne.

Jeremy Corbyn has been accused of "disrespecting the Catholic faith" after he took Holy Communion despite his apparent agnosticism.

The Labour leader, who has never practiced Catholicism, took wine and wafers during the funeral of the former GMB Union president Mary Turner, who died in July.

The Diocese of Westminster, which is responsible for the church Mr Corbyn was attending at the time, responded by saying that it expected celebrants to be "in full communion with the Catholic Church" in order to receive Communion.

Followed by Telegraph pub bore fade out.

Honestly the Blair thing with him taking communion when he wasn’t really a full Catholic was weird as

ok, this is bad, corbyn is cancelled.

bookmarkflaglink (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 15 August 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link

It's a little odd - even as a (protestant) christian I wouldn't take communion somewhere if I thought it might be counter to the faith. On the other hand, who cares?

He's misunderstanding because he's secretly Jewish, obviously.

When I was a nipper we had this paedo called Father Crowley in the boxy little converted ww2 cinema for a church. Once I copied an adult by putting my hands out for the communion host rather than taking in the mouth (fnarr) and he angrily blurted with spit going everywhere: are you a bloody Catholic?

calzino, Thursday, 15 August 2019 18:18 (four years ago) link

Lol I’ve always used my hands, can’t believe the state of that

when i was a kid most older folk - greatest generation types - would do the tongue thing. majority would do hands.

It might have been because I'm a very Turkish/Asiatic looking whitey. But my unreliable memory says back in the late?70s taking host in the hand was an adults only privilege!

calzino, Thursday, 15 August 2019 18:26 (four years ago) link

the older folk didn't like taking it in the hands because it was the body of christ and they weren't to sully it or something mad like that

contemporary opinion from cardinal robert sarah

Why do we insist on communicating standing in the hand? Why this attitude of lack of submission to the signs of God?

“[Receiving kneeling and on the tongue] is much more suited to the sacrament itself. I hope there can be a rediscovery and promotion of the beauty and pastoral value of this manner. In my opinion and judgment, this is an important question on which the church today must reflect. This is a further act of adoration and love that each of us can offer to Jesus Christ.”

Anyway must be a generational thing, did my communion early 90s & we were all hand-takers. Only ever saw aul wans doing it in my parish.

Which order?

I went to a non-religious N.S. so they didn’t really care what we did as long as we didn’t pick bad confirmation names.

When words fail, one has to try numbers and signs:
247 > 14
40% > 7%
500.000 > 99.000

(It's pronounced 'patzino'.)

pomenitul, Thursday, 15 August 2019 19:18 (four years ago) link

I can't even remember choosing it, but if I did it shows rebellious I was. Unlike those Turks choosing their surnames from the Ataturk era who chose to be called names like Gonad or Arse for the lols.

calzino, Thursday, 15 August 2019 19:20 (four years ago) link

How is that rebellious? It’s a saint’s name! One of my friends chose Jesus.

gyac, Thursday, 15 August 2019 19:24 (four years ago) link

I think he meant that it shows how rebellious he was, i.e. not at all.

"patzino" was good though

does Blair take the hosts in his hands, with some heat resistant gloves on. Not impressed with his fake Catholicism, he should have to spend a night in a coffin with Cardinal Hume's decaying corpse to prove he really has converted.
