Regarding the "right" timeline.

Look, I don't care especially if the timeline is off-- for me, it's just the welcome, annual cycle of the church year where for some weeks, a particular theme of spirituality is brought to mind. It's not unlike a familiar effect from re-reading a favorite book or hearing dear grannie's life stories, periodically-- each time, new insights can come to light.

If other people are celebrating something else, that is meaningful TO THEM, that's great!


What I would hope would emerge (I can hear the diverse chorus: "But YOUR people won't LET it") would be a shared understanding and delight that all over the world, there may just be a heck of a lot of people simultaneously turning their attention to the positive, from whatever view they view it.

That's worthy of celebration!

And BTW, I am DAMN tired of getting serially confused with painfully-remembered nuns, fundies, abusers, witch burners..... ad nauseum. I'm sorry for whatever pain was dished out, but I wasn't THERE.

I'll go pay me fine!
