For the victims of Rupnik, with my prayers for their healing, and my apologies for the Church that is too slow to act, and too entrenched in certain wrong values to recognise the gravity of the situation.

One thousand people sing our praises, yet we focus our energy and attention on the one hater in a tsunami of love. This, too, is vanity sayeth Qoheleth.

Indeed, it is a mortal sin to 'bop it' (clang!), 'pull it' (wooo!), or 'twist it' (grhrg) without grave cause and the permission of one's pastor. To 'spin it' (ploploplop) is reserved to the ordinary. To 'flick it' (boing!) is forbidden in all cases.

Only on Twitter could there be a whole shadow Occitan defense council, including my stalker. 🤣🤣🤣. I apologize for denigrating your fine tongue, truly. My characterization is simply my own view as an English/Spanish/Russian/Ukrainian speaker.

Occitan is complex and beautiful.

Not a single missile from Iran hit Israeli soil, and Israel (at least for now) backed down from an imminent counteroffensive after their president conferred with ours.

Prayer works! Thank you Mary for your prayers! Thank you Jesus for peace.

Stop whatever you’re doing when you see this and say a Hail Mary for peace between Iran and Israel.

May Our Lady, the queen of peace, bring an end to violence and bloodshed to our troubled world. Amen.

The world is in too serious a place for our choices in this election to be these two deficient men. We really need new candidates. Sadly I can’t name anyone… can you?
