I had posted a Mom’s Stuff Page – hoping to learn what things are and what they might be worth. Someone reached out to buy something. Nice. So much better than something my mom made going off into the void.
Today I had a house inspector come to inspect my place and my mom’s house.
Mine is good to go. However, my mom’s house needs a new roof, which is going to really hurt. I knew it was coming, by looking at it, but the news was still a real blow. Time to get estimates, I guess. The rest of the house is okay, water heater, A/C. There are some valves that need work, but that’s small stuff. There is so much to do. Power washing, probably painting. It’s intimidating. My main “handy man” was once the maintenance guy for a large parish and is a faithful practicing Catholic who serves Mass and has been life-long KC. He knows all sorts of people for services, which helps. We sat down and strategized. I think we need to get a 10m dumpster to start with, rather than haul loads.
Also, we got her car tidied up for 1) sale 2) use (would have to get plates and insurance). Low mileage: 2014 SUV with 46K.
I suspect more than one of you have faced these things. Please ask St. Joseph to help me.
I get this, but think about it.

More than 20 professors at Franciscan University are calling on the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) not to proceed with its planned consecration of bishops on July 1.https://t.co/gdoH9G079d

I can guess what’s up. I don’t think this bodes well for the non-bishop members of the SSPX. Lay people are not members: they just go to their chapels. The SSPX is a fraternity of priests, though there are brothers and sisters.
Now this is interesting…. Infovaticana notes that in the past week, Pope Leo has held three meetings with Cardinal Victor Fernandez, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
These haven’t been happenstance encounters; they’ve been formal, scheduled events,…

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
From my friend Fr. McTeigue (aka One Of The Gooduns):
george on I have to post these. I know you can find them on your own. But I must post them.: “@hayden I have the feeling that you are fine demanding obedience when it’s to something you either prefer or don’t…”
