I’m trying really hard to be nice here but it’s very difficult…

To those slandering Carlos as wearing pricey clothes… did you take a few seconds to look at the image?

The shirt is claimed to be from Tommy Hilfiger. Yet the classic Tommy Hilfiger logo is not on Carlos’ shirt, therefore it is not Tommy Hilfiger. And let’s suppose it is TH, which is not a luxury brand. Have any of you guys heard of ‘Ross’ or Tjmax, Marshall’s… stores that sell ‘brand’ name clothing that didn’t sell during the season for average prices?

Let’s move on. Why is anyone believing that his normal shorts and sunglasses are brand name expensive?


And lastly the Rolex. Does anyone see the brand of the watch? I surely don’t. His hand is turned away from us. How can anyone look at this image and genuinely claim he’s wearing a Rolex? Are you able to see something we can’t in the image?


This has nothing to do with his sainthood, but the treatment of a deceased young man on this forum is appalling. Image if that were your son, wearing clothes from Ross and tjmax, and here are all these anonymous posters claiming he’s wearing thousand dollar clothes and watch?
The upturned nose at “modernists” does you no good if you stoop to such levels. Imagine not taking 2 seconds to verify if the boy is indeed wearing a Rolex before slandering him on a catholic forum but claiming your moral compass is somehow reliable enough to pick out what is heresy and what isn’t. Truly amazing.

Yes, that was me attempting to be nice.

The Catholic Bunker / Re: The Beauty and wonder of birds.
« Last post by Seraphina on Today at 02:00:49 AM »
I saw four Australian King Parrots (1 male and 3 female) in my garden this morning.

Alisterus scapularis

The largest of the brightly coloured local parrots, the King-Parrot is common in the ranges to the west of Canberra. Large numbers can be seen about an hour after sunrise, or in the late afternoon, flying between their communal roosts and their daily feeding range.

They feed on seeds, berries and other fruits, nuts, nectar, blossoms and leaf buds. Because such food is readily available in most mature Canberra gardens, more of these birds survive the winter. Perhaps too, more people are providing food for parrots.

Groups of three to five birds are usually seen at a time.These birds have a very obvious seasonal pattern with lower numbers recorded during the breeding season. Breeding records are also increasing but there are rarely nest records, probably because king-parrots nest in large deep hollows in the trunks of tall trees, with the nest 10 metres below the entrance. Such trees seldom occur in Canberra gardens.


The ones were saw were more brightly coloured.

Males are redheads,females are greenheads.



I’m fairly certain they sell these in the US as pets.

Catholic Living in the Modern World / Re: What is Boredom

I am in my mid-thirties.

I do have an imagination, but I have read some spiritual writers say that daydreaming is a bad thing. It is difficult to draw the line between a vivid mind and a dreamy mindset.
Deliberate, focussed, purposeful use of the imagination is anything but daydreaming!

Plan an art or building project, plan a road trip, pray, recite poetry, quiz yourself on various subjects, write a story or poem, write a song, sing songs, plan a family or friends gathering, plan a menu, revisit a time or place from the past, the list is endless!  All can be done in your mind, in your imagination, no?
If you can’t do this, you need to train your mind.  (What is your age?  Are you Gen Z or Alpha?  Children arrive at school without imagination.  I started seeing this in about 2014 or so.). So sad. But it’s reversible.  The younger, the better.)

Crisis in the Church / Re: +1 for Bergoglio (if true)

Sigh....he's playing both sides. It's politics, folks. It's classic. He keeps the conservatives on the hook, thinking he really is trying, but alas, the left is handcuffing him.

Yes Nadir, those were the days.  For those of us born in the '40's we knew nothing of the war, or rationing, and hand me downs was the norm.  As kids we had fresh air and sunshine and freedom.  Enough freedom to sometimes get into mischief.
And after the war we got wonderful inventions.  The best was hot water on tap when hot water heaters became available for the masses.  Then coal furnaces were replaced by oil furnaces.  No more cold mornings because the fire had gone out or shoveling coal or sifting ashes.  Just walk over to a dial on the wall and instant heat.  Then in the mid 50's the middle classes got their first family car and by the end of the '50's many people had their first TV set.  Everything on TV then had a moral or was a musical or comedy.
Yes those were the days.
