“Martin is still just a catechumen, but he gave me this cloak.”
“Martin is still just a catechumen, yet he gave me this cloak.”
Today's the feast of St Martin, 4th Century Roman soldier and Bishop of Tours. He's best known for the legend of him cutting his cloak in half to share with a beggar who turned out to be Christ, as in glass by FC Eden, 1919 at Keyston, Cambridgeshire.

Meeting with an Orthodox priest to become a catechumen next week, but if this happens, I’ll pray a rosary for the reunification of the Church every day until I die.

He’s a catechumen with all sorts of ideas of how to change Catholicism.

lmao yeah, if he was a catechumen that's when both your sponsor & priest put pressure on your reasons for conversion/whether you understand the doctrine/try to correct weird shit you learned online. It's not weird to be one for years, especially if you're not already connected to the congregation.

A soldier who is in authority must not kill a man. If he is ordered to, he must not carry out the order, nor may he take the oath. A catechumen or believer who wishes to become a soldier must be rejected, for he has despised God.

Moved, as an Anglican, to see the pope listening to the experiences of a catechumen, a recently baptised person and an accompanist then to speak encouragingly and humbly of our common task.

I will certainly go see the Pope tomorrow. I hesitated somewhat as I refuse to be associated with a good portion of the movements that will be there, but it seems that the public will be segregated by type and I will probably go join the "Neophytes & Catechumen" section

there's some truth to that and the permanent catechumen stuff was universal (which also exempted them from the inquisition, though) but it was also the dominicans who resisted militarization the longest. i also would deny that it was purely order-based, 'purity of blood' was not systematized

9/25 "Thy convergence come." — Here the catechumen smiles, thinking the Church naive: convergence is an asymptote; it does not *come*, it is approached. Precisely so. The faithful do not pray for arrival — arrival is the religion of benchmarks.

That's fair (though still kind of odd - what would they refer to themselves as in the period before that baptism or prayer? Catechumen would make most sense to me, but idk how much evangelicals use that kind of language)

So many issues w/this NYT article on #RCIA. (Liturgical descriptions of Vigil at beginning, inclusion of so-called "neocatechumens" &Catholics who "missed sacraments"). But I Iiked this: "For each catechumen [& candidate], there was a different path" (1/4)

Busy & fruitful ministry week (1/3):
SUNDAY: Rite of Acceptance & Welcoming. When welcomed at church doors, catechumen/candidates gave great personalized "from the heart" reasons for "why they're here";
THEN TUES: Mystagogy on Sunday's Rite & mystagogical walk through Mass

There may be dozens on here. Aerial toll houses have a strong “I’m a catechumen” overlap.

You’re among the best, in our hearts, Fr. Scott.
I give St. Augustine’s to catechumens! It’s a main stay in my spiritual life since it was gifted to me, as a catechumen, decades ago 🤭🤫

Did he even partly attend Mass? Because it....doesn't sound like it
Also I have just learned the word "catechumen" which is sadly not "catechum" as I first thought
Your catechismical chum!
