Do you think they warn priestlings about the priest fetishists in priest school
Yes! I watched an Upon Friar Review video where they were reviewing the episode of It’s Always Sunny and they talked about getting warnings about people flirting with priests.

No, in confession you aren't talking directly to Jesus, nor is He to you
A friend asked me to comment on the following sentence that she had come across:
"When the priest declares our sins are forgiven, it is Jesus speaking his words of love through the priest."
I fgured I would share my response:
"St. Thomas Aquinas is the source of the distinction that in confession and other sacraments, the words said by the priest are the priest's, but in the mass at the consecration the words of the priest are Jesus'.  
"Aquinas' distinction is: At the consecration, the priest acts in persona Christi. In all other sacraments, the priest acts ex persona ministri (see Summa Theologia III.78.1). Vatican II introduced the phrase "in persona Christi capitis" to refer to the priest or bishop insofar as he is exercising his Holy Orders (see Presbyterorum Ordinis 2).
"St. Thomas never expected that his choice of terms would later become canonical, and used by people who otherwise would not read the Summa Theologiae. But since they did, and because the two expressions are so similar, people are sometimes confused about the teaching regarding the other sacraments, particularly confession.
"You can tell that the words in confession come from the priest, since in the formula of absolution, the priest says, "I absolve you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." If the words came from Jesus, he wouldn't be acting "in the name of" anybody else. 
"So the text above is incorrect. The priest is not possessed by Jesus when he talks to the penitent, nor is the priest prophesying, nor must he use Jesus' words in Scripture. Those are pretty much the ways for Jesus to put his words in the priest's mouth as the text suggests, and none of them happen regularly. What happens is that the priest uses his intellect and judgment. Hopefully, he's open to any promptings from the Holy Spirit, but the action is fully his. Some Protestants tried to deny this before the Council of Trent, but Trent condemned anyone who thought the priest was not acting as a judge using his own prudence."

Does the case of Fireball's marriage have a historical equivalent in the Middle Ages or Early modern period? If a woman took the holy orders, was her marriage dissolved and thus her former husband could make a new canonically valid marriage? Was this also the case for the wife if her husband took the holy orders? Was it specific to monastic vows, ordained priests (after celibacy became the norm) or other specific clerical statuses?
Excellent question!
Tumblr media
When it comes to the case of a husband taking Holy Orders, this was a matter of some contention within the medieval Catholic Church and quite a few big name Popes exerted a lot of political capital to make clerical marriage stop. (Partly this was due to theological reasons, but mostly it came down to not wanting married priests to try to convert Church property into something their children could inherit.) So it depends on when in the Middle Ages we're talking about; the earlier you go, the more likely you are to have married priests, the later you go, the less likely that becomes. And then that wascally Martin Luther fell in love with Katharina von Bora...
The issue of women joining nunneries was less politically controversial, because it didn't raise the issue of Church property being converted from corporate to personal property. Indeed, the Church had something of a interesting incentive in the matter, because women who wanted to become nuns had to bring a "convent dowry" with them, and in the case of wealthy women or heiresses, these dowries might be rather substantial.
However, when it came to either husbands or wives entering Holy Orders, this was considered to dissolve a marriage...with one main condition. In the words of Pope Alexander III, "it is permitted for one spouse, even against the other's will, to choose the monastery...so long as a joining of the flesh has not yet occured between them."
So that could be a real sticking point. I suppose a man in Fireball's situation would need to find an abess who was willing to accept that the marriage had never been conssumated for a hefty bribe.

My brother got married this weekend and I just can't get over how the Byzantine Rite does their weddings. Their ceremony puts such an emphasis on devotion to Christ through matrimony. It really is a parallel to holy orders in that sense. I just - AHHHH!!!

Recently Youtube's algorithm really wants me to watch Schindler's List and I never had so the other night I sat down and actually watched it.
Having a lot of thoughts about it but a major one I keep coming back to is how even an immensely and deeply flawed human being can go against "just following orders" and instead put in the work to actually help.
It may never be fully enough. It may never save as many as you'd hoped. But when you have a choice to either follow orders or save your fellow humans in front of you, I hope you choose the latter.
Schindler died in poverty. He was not a renown war hero nor was he at all famous or widely beloved. But he saw that he could help, even in some small way, and so he helped.
He was a Nazi who saw what the Nazis were doing to Jews and said no more. Enough. If I can even spare those under my charge, maybe a few extras, then at least I will have tried to do something about this.
I think a lot of people do not fancy this type of activism. It is messy, dangerous, and often completely thankless. Schindler survived as long as he did after the war due to those he saved helping him with donations. He was not popular in his hometown due to his association with Nazis, he was not popular in Germany, he was not popular in Argentina. His businesses all failed. His wife left him. A movie about his deeds was released several years after his death, where he would receive none of the benefits. He went to prison multiple times for simply refusing to hate Jews.
I think a lot of people like to think they're activists, but are sorely unprepared for doing this type of work, and then in truth become activists in name only. This is hard work. But without him, another thousand or so people would be on that death toll.
He took his position of extreme power- a Nazi owning a factory almost entirely operated by Jews, making oodles of money off that cheap slave labor- and said you know what? No. I'm not doing that. I can't save everyone, but as long as they are within my factory, you will not kill my workers. As long as I'm here you aren't harming one hair on the head of any Jew under my care. You're not sending or keeping them in Auschwitz. You're not randomly executing them for entertainment. They're people. You're not murdering them.
"Just following orders" they say. But they didn't have to. They could have helped. They could have did what he did, look around and say "what the fuck am I doing here", and stop. He did. They could have. They didn't.

Splatoon 3: Side Order is good, but not great. I still highly recommend it, but if you care about the story, you're going to be disappointed. Quick review: spoilers ahead.
Side Order was the devs experimenting with Splatoon's gameplay loop. The campaign is a rogue-like, and it works amazingly well. Super fun, super challenging, building my deck and fighting through challenges with the stakes of resetting really scratched an itch in my brain. They did a great job with it.
Unfortunately, I feel like priority went to game design rather than story. Much of the mysterious artwork we saw in the first teaser trailer was completely unused; turns out, all of that was just concept art that never made it into the final product. Side Order failed to make me care about what was happening. I don't know why the protagonist had to be Agent 8; it could've been anyone else and the story would've worked the same.
Octo Expansion was the absolute peak of meshing story and gameplay. The campaign's hook is insanely strong; we immediately empathize with Agent 8 because we know from previous lore that octolings like her have been trapped underground for all their lives. We care about her fight to the surface because it's a fundamentally ideological fight for freedom. The plot stuff about Tartar and the Thangs is just nice set dressing; 8's fight for freedom is the real story.
There's none of that in Side Order. I don't particularly care about Marina's metaverse, even if it's tied to Octo Expansion's story. I don't know why Acht is there other than backstory stuff. It really feels like 8 is just told to do something and she does it because she's the protagonist; she has zero personal stakes or motivations in the conflict. This is a story blunder the devs did in Splatoon 3's default campaign––forgetting to give the protagonist a personal reason to fight––that I hoped would be fixed here, but alas.
What makes it worse is that the gameplay and story progression are completely out of sync. I beat the entire game on my third run in 4 hours. With each run, you get up to two keys to potentially unlock bits of story. That means you'll get about one piece of the story every two runs. There are twelve pieces of the story; I got the first and then beat the whole damn game. Now I have to go back and grind to see the remaining story when I've already beaten the final boss and resolved the conflict. I missed the entire story because I never had to reset because I blazed through the gameplay! It's just a real shame that I experienced everything without knowing... why it's happening. The final boss had me asking myself what the hell is going on because I don't know the backstory at all.
Again, I still really recommend. The devs did a great job, but Side Order remains in the shadow of Octo Expansion's incredible success. Like the default singleplayer campaign, there's just a lot of lost story potential here that, while not necessary, would have really elevated this DLC into something amazing.
