[Jimmy Akin @JimmyAkin3000]

"The most important thing now is not strict justice but getting souls saved."

I concur. Though it is a great evil, death--regardless of cause--is not the worst thing that can befall one.

In the case of capital punishment, it might occur at such a premature point in a person's spiritual journey that it would catch them unrepentant and lead to their damnation.

For others, it might lead to their salvation. The very thing some might need is "to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock,
awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
from a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block" (The Mikado).

Both scenarios will be realities for some, and neither is to be ignored or minimized. If only we had objectively agreed ways of estimating which is more likely in practice.

(Apologies for the literary reference. I'm a Gilbert & Sullivan fan.)

Per una lobby LGBT siamo un “virus”. E l’hanno detto al Parlamento europeo.

A Bruxelles è stato presentato “The Hate Review”, il report della ONG Forbidden Colours. Scheda oltre 700 associazioni e persone in 47 Paesi, e Pro Vita & Famiglia è in prima fila, con nomi e cognomi.

Ci chiamano “carica virale” e “infezione cronica”. La parola “contaminazione” compare 149 volte. L’obiettivo dichiarato è la “decontaminazione dell’Europa”.

L’invito è arrivato dall’eurodeputato socialista Marc Angel, questore del Parlamento europeo.
Chiediamo a Roberta Metsola e ai capigruppo di prendere le distanze.
Noi non ci faremo “decontaminare”.

JD Vance tells Joe Rogan that American influencers are being paid by "a former Trump campaign person," funded by elements inside the Israeli government, to attack him personally over the Iran deal.

The man he won't name is Brad Parscale, who ran Trump's entire digital operation in 2016. Time magazine published it two days ago:

VANCE: "There was a Time story that came out yesterday that basically there are certain influencers in America who are being paid in order to attack the deal."

"It lists a bunch of people who have quite literally been paid by a former Trump campaign person who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government. And those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the negotiation objective that the president set for the country."

"I don't even mind an effort to try to influence. Foreign governments try to influence the United States all the time. Israel does it, other countries do it. It's just sort of the nature of the beast.

"What bothers me is actually when Americans allow—meaning American leadership—allows that influence to affect their judgment and to affect what they are advocating for."

"When I open up the pages of Time magazine and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing, and oh, by the way, many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways. My response to that is, well, go to hell."

"I represent Americans first."

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

The eminent Catholic natural law theorist Johannes Messner on the evil of preventive war, in his pre-Vatican II volume Social Ethics: Natural Law in the Western World (at pp. 667-68). The teaching of @Pontifex and @USCCB is traditional and has nothing at all to do with liberalism

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction —

“This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.”

He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.”

“attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

[Edward Feser @FeserEdward]

Plausibly so, given that it involves enormous numbers of unwanted embryos being either killed (in even greater numbers than abortion) or warehoused indefinitely; treating a child as a consumer good to be engineered to one’s personal specifications, rather than a solemn responsibility to be accepted as a gift; and manufacturing human beings in the lab rather than allowing them the normal mode of generation in the loving embrace of father and mother. It thereby embodies all the worst aspects of modernity – its callous individualist indifference to the demands others make on us, its commodification of everything, its technocratic hubris. For it to be promoted in the name of love of children and family is a sick joke. Yes, there are people who have fertility problems through no fault of their own, and who are thus tempted by it. But as St. Paul taught, we must never do evil that good may come of it.

This is Erika Kirk’s full eulogy for Charlie. It’ll leave you with chills. She has Charlie’s heart and ability to connect with everyone on a personal level where it doesn’t seem like there’s a stadium of people around. Almost no one could meet this moment. She absolutely did. ❤️

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, Jesus calls us to love our enemies.

Today, I was struck by Erika Kirk’s granting of forgiveness to the man who killed her husband—a breathtaking moment of the Gospel on full display.

Charlie Kirk never mocked or dismissed young people who were lost in gender ideology. He met them with truth, conviction, and compassion — reminding them they are not broken, but loved and worth fighting for. We will carry that torch and never stop fighting. Today we remember his legacy.

[Spitfire @RealSpitfire]

Ive been going back and watching videos of Charlie debating with students. This particular debate left me in awe. What an incredibly knowledgeable man.

Take a moment to witness and be inspired……
