I included a different tune in my service yesterday, but here is the original. The lyrics are especially relevant for what is happening in Churches across this country.
The Church’s Desolation - Treasury 587

So, as I wind down for the evening, some thoughts for today:

My beloved Church's threads account is currently suspended by Insta. I appealed the suspension and won twice today, but now I must wait. I am convinced that they don't like the Basilica's logo being rainbow and illegible to their systems.

The full text of my office‘s titles.

The Holy Catholic Church of the Gospels is a new and growing denomination. We are an Independent Catholic Tradition. Catholic in Liturgy but radically inclusive in doctrine. We are Catholic in the original Greek sense of “Universal.”

Into your hands, O God, we commend the souls of our Brother and Sister here departed. Eternal rest grant to them, O‘ Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

well, it looks like I ruffled feathers on threads. Apparently, summary banning is how they handle outspoken clergy who don’t support the administration, ICE, or any of the events happening in my Beautiful State.

I will be reposting here what was on threads prior to my removal.
