@bluewmist Nope. The greatest love I’ve ever experienced is sitting in Mass with my wife hanging onto my arm as we both worship Jesus arm in arm, hand in hand.
"Satan doesn’t bother with a worthless person; he goes after the one who struggles spiritually, in order to tempt him and make him worthless. He doesn’t waste time doing delicate work on someone who doesn’t have any delicate work of his own.
To the one who sews with a sack-needle, he sends a demon with big needles.
To the one who does fine handwork, he sends a demon who does fine handwork.
To the one who makes very delicate embroidery, he sends a demon who makes very delicate work.
To those who do coarse work on themselves, he sends a coarse demon.
To beginners he sends beginner demons.
People who have a sensitive soul and great nobility of soul need to be very careful, because the devil slips his tail in and makes them even more sensitive — he can lead them to melancholy or even — God forbid! — to suicide.
The devil never acts contrary to a person’s nature: although he makes us humans go against our fellow men and quarrel with each other,
- to the lazy one he makes him even lazier, comforting him with the thought: “Your head hurts, you’re not in the mood. It’s no big deal if you don’t get up to pray.”
- to the devout one he makes him even more devout — so that he can throw him into pride, or pushes him to struggle beyond his strength, exhausting him until he later abandons all his spiritual weapons, so that the former great ascetic may surrender completely.
- to the hard-hearted he makes even harder, and to the sensitive — exaggeratedly sensitive.
And look how many people are tormented by insomnia and take medicine — some because they have a certain sensitivity, others because they have shaken their nerves badly. It is rare to see a truly balanced person nowadays. People have become like batteries. Most of them seem charged with electricity. Those who do not go to confession receive demonic influences; they carry a demonic magnetism because the devil has power over them.
Very few people — whether young men, young women, or the elderly — still have a pure gaze.
Demonization! Do you know what demonization means? It means not being able to get along with the world anymore."

@TorpidTerror@CliffDisgusting@fennomanne@EU_Propaganda No one is saying we don’t have evil in our own past and even currently. 1 million American children are murdered every year, it’s horrific. But we are capable of caring about more than one thing and he asked why we care who they murdered. I answered.
@HenrikChriste17 Historical whataboutism. Pathetic from the continent that brought us both Nazism and Communism which has buffered hundreds of millions of people.
@rrad907 You forget they also had massive tariffs in the form of VAT on our products while enjoying no tariff access to our markets. They’ve literally been robbing us. Eff em
@FVCKASS69@hoshimikirkyabi@ItsTheEnforcer I said everyone into anime ends up being a pedo and you’re arguing that they were pedos first and into anime second. Which is a pointless argument to what I said lol. The point is they all still end up being pedos. I’m starting to think you REALLY like your anime 🤔
@CliffDisgusting@fennomanne@EU_Propaganda Are you asking if some of our people were infected with the anti-human ideas of eugenics that originated in Europe? Yes it happened, and we put an end to it, and still fight these European values.
