LET US PRAY FOR OUR POPE. MAY THE LORD PRESERVE HIM, AND GIVE HIM LIFE, AND MAKE HIM BLESSED UPON THE EARTH, AND DELIVER HIM NOT UP TO THE WILL OF HIS ENEMIES.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons!

No grace period and could immediately be arrested. How is this not just an unconstitutional tax and a humiliation ritual on trans people for being trans and following previous laws? Who does this actually benefit aside from giving hateful people some twisted, empty satisfaction?

This is indefensible. Many will choose to ignore it or pretend they don’t know or “aren’t familiar with that case” — but everything done in darkness will one day be revealed by the light. It’s never too late to do good and be good.

There may have been a few miscalculations on The Lobster’s part.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy

When we say “the cruelty is the point,” this is the type of genuine hatred of other humans that we’re talking about.

It's so wild that there are people who can identify cars by sight. Like instead of "brown truck" or "grey sedan" everywhere they go they're all "that Mazda Myopia is turning left beside the 2017 Chevy Stigmata". It must be like seeing those colors only shrimp can see.

This passed the state senate this week! Really proud of my state choosing to stand with clergy sexual abuse survivors.

If the pope calling for peace alienates him from "huge swathes" of the American public, so be it. The Catholic Church stands for peace. Christianity stands for peace. Military adventurism to satisfy the ego of a leader and his personality cult...no.

The Pope is not "woke" so much as US evangelicalism has been veering deeper into heresy for quite some time now & dragging too many Catholics along with it. And the Church is finally saying enough is enough.

When one person gets to decide what meaning God’s word has, and when you say there is only one meaning that is not up for a vote, the result will be a leader who cannot be questioned. It’s a formula for abuse. The Word of God is rightly interpreted through the community.

Anyone who objects to this clearly hasn't read the Church fathers, who are even more fervent. St Augustine says that "the superfluities of the rich are the necessities of the poor," and whoever witholds them is a thief. Judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy.

The Pope is a globalist because the Church is universal and transcends all borders. Cry about it 👍

Blaming Satan and demons is also a big cop-out. Even great saints like St John of the Cross believe evil forces work more by temptation and suggestion than by actual possession (which is rare and in most cases likely psychological illness).

They will excommunicate the nurse who gave you an IUD, but they couldn't possibly pronounce judgement on a war that blew up an elementary school.

These swimsuits, which would now be considered fashionably modest among most trads, were once considered scandalously indecent Sins of the eyes will always be with us, no matter the fashion of time What you do have control over is your own self-restraint, cooperating with grace

Many a person seems outraged that I'm not lecturing women on modesty. The role of education on modesty, male and female, belongs primarily to familial relations. Efforts of unrelated members of the opposite sex, for the most part, will be counterproductive and damaging.

This, one million trillion times. When it comes to modesty related issues…. The village needs to take a gigantic step back and let parents deal with things. We’ve had many situations over the years where friends ot family members have suggested our daughters - who are
