The Catholic Church didn’t need to change, I did. My marriage is a walking miracle. When you hit a wall with your spouse, don’t give up. Bust through together!
Wow did you hear what those Republican congressmen said to that bad guy in the hearing? Lol man they really ripped him apart. It was so awesome. What’s that? Oh no the bad guy won’t be arrested or charged with any crime or suffer any consequences of any kind at all. No, there will be no follow up on the hearing, no relevant legislation passed in response to it, no changes of any kind made at all ever. But did you see that viral clip of that one senator? He even used a cuss word! A real cuss word! He’s so tough and brave. I’m so impressed. Aren’t you?
Good Lord. I can’t … Francis undid the hallmark of Benedict’s papacy, the liturgical embrace of the Traditional Latin Mass and approved things the former Pope was disgusted by. This is sentimental nonsense. As anyone near Pope Benedict will tell you.
@wadeowenwatts35@mattvanswol You could be right. Baptism is the first line of defense, and it should happen early and often. I have heard many countries used to require this for citizenship, and now many countries are falling including ours. Is this just coincidence? The experiment would be worth doing.
@XCkyro Yes!!! We don’t stay for the Pope or priest, or even the people. A well-catechized Catholic knows the infinite worth and power of Jesus in the Eucharist. He is the source and summit of the faith. Jesus directed it in John’s Gospel. Pretty simple.
@ChrisA553925529@tomas_mones No. Protestants make up prayers with little depth, no true reflection. Yes, some are authentic and somewhat eloquent, but the true needs of the soul require deep silence. The prayers this man references stem from that still meditation with God and are the fruits of it.
The spiritual traditions of the church exist because men better than us already solved this, and most of us never bother to look.
You do not need to invent a prayer life. The Rosary, the Divine Office, the examen, lectio divina, fasting on Fridays, the Holy Hour. This is a system that has been tested on soldiers, farmers, kings and monks for two thousand years and it still holds.
All of it runs on the Eucharist. The Blessed Sacrament is the source, and every one of these practices exists to keep you close to it and to make you capable of receiving it well.
The saints are how you learn to use them. De Sales, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese. They wrote about a life they were living, which is why their books read like instructions.
Recover one practice and hold it for a year. That will build more in you than reading about ten.
@wadeowenwatts35@mattvanswol If society had kept abiding by the 10 Commandments and stayed a Christian society, we would not need these cameras. It’s just true. We should thank the Protestants for increasing the pagan society exponentially with their idiotic belief of not baptizing babies.
This was just uncovered in a time capsule opened at a church in my diocese. It’s from 1925. I know many, including myself, are dismayed and troubled by scandals in which the Universal Church. But even in 1925, well before the council that everyone blames for our problems, this parish and parish priest is warning the faithful not to blackpill!
This was a huge whitepill for me and I hope for you all, as well. God bless, brethren.
While you wait for Fauci’s hearing to start, a reminder that when the U.S. government purchased Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, it contractually agreed to keep the PREP Act immunity in place for as long as their vaccines are administered in the United States.
What that means is that the U.S. government promised Pfizer and Moderna that it could not be sued for harms from its Covid-19 vaccines, irrespective of whether an emergency continued to exist.
But not only did our government contractually agree that Pfizer and Moderna can harm and kill Americans with impunity, it also guaranteed Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars for this privilege.
Even worse, the U.S. government guaranteed this immunity in July 2020, months before it first authorized Covid-19 vaccines in December 2020. Meaning, the U.S. government pre-guaranteed these companies immunity from any harm caused by their products, thus, knowingly undermining any incentive for them to create a safe product.
And how much were Pfizer and Moderna guaranteed to be paid by the U.S. government to develop a product that could harm its own citizens with impunity? A total of over $21 billion just in the initial rollout -- $8.63 billion for Moderna and $13.15 billion for Pfizer.
Sound unreal? See the actual contracts for yourself linked in my most recent restack.
The Fallout
The implications are incredible.
To start, Pfizer and Moderna could sue the U.S. government for breach of contract and potentially other relief if PREP Act immunity is terminated before the United States’ use of their COVID-19 vaccines ceases.
Only in an upside-down world would the U.S. government siphon over $21 billion of its citizen’s taxpayer dollars to Pfizer and Moderna and pre-guarantee a profit-motivated company sweeping immunity for harms its product causes to its own citizens.
Summing it up:
The U.S. government guaranteed Pfizer and Moderna immunity for injuries from their products before they were even developed, thereby eliminating the incentive for these companies to make their product safe. Worse, it gave these companies billions of dollars of its citizens’ money to develop these products, and even more incredible, it then spent billions more of its citizen’s money to promote Pfizer’s product as “safe and effective.” And in an ultimate slap to its citizens, then it required them to be injected with this product under the threat of grave consequences, including expulsion from school, losing their job, discharge from the military, etc.
Who is Being Protected?
Who exactly is the U.S. government working for? Whose interests is it protecting?
Government agencies have a well-documented history of being captured by industry. It is known in political science as regulatory capture. In this case, the capture is by pharma and the degree of capture is unprecedented.
You, the collective citizens of the United States, have paid Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars. You have paid with your taxes. You have paid with your bodies when you were injured without recourse against Pfizer or Moderna. You have paid with your right to freedom when you were forced to be injected with their products under penalty of losing basic civil rights, employment, or more.
And what have Pfizer and Moderna paid? Nothing. They instead raked in billions of dollars of your money as long as they developed a Covid-19 vaccine and were shielded from liability irrespective of how unsafe of a product they developed or how much harm it would cause the public that paid them.
The Solution
The above again brings into focus why no medical product should ever be mandated. This assures you can say “no” if you don’t want a product developed with pre-guaranteed immunity for harms. “No” where its clinical trial had more deaths in the vaccinated group than the placebo group. “No” where it generates over $55 billion in revenue but its morally-bankrupt manufacturers won’t spend a dollar to compensate those injured.
Even if you support all current vaccines, masks, etc., there may come a day when you may not want to take a mandated medical product or procedure. When that day comes, it may be too late to recapture the rights you have surrendered. Rights lost are rarely retrieved. This is why, while everyone should be free to take any medical product, everyone should also be free to decline any medical product without penalty.
It should be that simple.
Take Action
To that end, I encourage you to send the following proposed legislation to your legislative representatives:
“No law may require or coerce a person to receive or use a medical product, or impose a penalty or deprive a benefit for refusing a medical product or refusing to disclose whether a person has received a medical product.”
Medical freedom is freedom. If you cannot get a job, go to school, play sports, sit in a restaurant, or otherwise participate in civil society because you refuse a medical product, then what good are your rights if you can exercise them only at home by yourself? That is why medical freedom is a fundamental right that must be permanently fixed into the law of every civilized nation.
Thank you to all the warriors, veteran and new, who join arms in the battle to secure this fundamental right. As aptly stated in the Declaration of Independence, we “are endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights” and to safeguard those rights “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” We must never yield to the tyranny of permitting others to dictate what can or must be placed, administered, or injected onto or into our bodies. For once that right is ceded, none truly remains.
@taco_talks Not everything about Christianity will be in the Bible.
Protestants and Communists have one thing in common for sure: they both deny history and the truth. It’s getting old.
Woah.
Bret Weinstein just revealed that a 2012 law quietly dismantled the Bill of Rights.
And almost no one noticed.
“All the rights in the Bill of Rights became privileges the day that Barack Obama signed NDAA 2012.”
“The NDAA of 2012 … said: until the end of hostilities in the Global War on Terror, we can pull you off any street in the world.”
“We don’t have to admit that we have you.”
“You don’t have the right to see a lawyer, to see the evidence against you.”
“All that has to happen is the President needs to decide that you’re a terrorist or a supporter of them.”
And a federal court ruling later decided that we don’t even know how many people have been legally disappeared under that law.
“Lots of people are missing.”
“We don’t know if any of those are missing because of the provisions of NDAA 2012.”
Obama signed the NDAA 2012 on December 31.
Why is that important?
“By signing late in the day on New Year’s Eve in Hawaii, the rest of the country was already drunk, and it didn’t show up in The New York Times the next day.”
Leslie Manookian: “This is why I say we live in a post-constitutional order.”
“In that same NDAA, they repealed the Smith-Mundt Act … which prohibited the CIA from propagandizing Americans.”
“They said: don’t worry, we’re not setting up a program, and we don’t have any funding for it.”
“Well, in 2015 and 2016, they set up the program and funded it.”

Natalie Abu Daia, a 21-year-old Christian student and youth leader from Bethlehem, remains detained after an Israeli military court extended her imprisonment until Sept. 23. Denied family visits and bail, her case is a stark reminder of the growing pressure on Palestinian students seeking education and hope.
