Discussion about this episode

Fireman Sam is welsh and that accent hurt me on so many levels. I expect the same level of counselling as the CUA students were given.

Pelosi could still surprise us all and I'll tell you for why: the same degree of grit and intransigence and "I'll spit in your eye; I believe what I want regardless of how you threaten me" could be turned 180 degrees towards the Kingdom of God if the right opportunity for martyrdom presented itself. I consider it improbable (1. *most* of the stories of martyrs indicate that they have had long training in humility, obedience, self-denial out of love for others; 2. In these fraught modern times who could be found to murder a politician in odium fidei rather than for literally any other reason?) but that just makes for a better story three hundred years from now when the jewel has been well polished by the telling.

I pray however that she repents in the very ordinary workaday manner and then loves* a life of prayer and penance. We ought not to pray that anyone be put to the test (ourselves included.)

*what a very fine typo. Lives.
