“I am Catholic”

I was contemplating the use of the words “ I am Catholic” and wondering when and why it became necessary to say that.

A rant:

Today, unfortunately it’s not enough to say I am a Christian as that doesn’t describe your faith and your belief system.

Christianity has in many cases been hijacked by the very opposite of what it means to be Christian

You have some “Christians” that believe a third temple needs to be built so that a red cow can be sacrificed before Jesus returns. These “Christians” believe that killing the enemy of this plan is Gods will. How does anyone who read the bible with the key to understanding it being Jesus in the NT reconcile with this?

When people try to justify violence or the destruction of “enemies,” the New Testament leaves no room for it. Jesus consistently confronts the human impulse to harm, dominate, or destroy those we fear or dislike.

His words cut directly against injustice and the taking of life.

1. Jesus commands love, not violence, toward enemies.

He says plainly: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5).

This is not sentimental. It is a direct prohibition against treating enemies as disposable or less human.

2. Jesus rejects retaliation and cycles of harm.

When Peter tried to defend Him with a sword, Jesus stopped him: “Put your sword back… for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

He refuses to let violence, even “justified” violence, define His movement.

3. Jesus exposes the injustice of harming others in God’s name.

In Luke 9, when the disciples wanted to call down fire on a Samaritan village, Jesus rebuked them.

He shuts down the idea that God endorses destroying people who oppose or offend us.

4. Jesus identifies mercy, not vengeance, as the mark of God’s people.

He teaches: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Mercy is not weakness.

It is the refusal to participate in injustice, cruelty, or dehumanization.

5. Jesus reveals God’s heart for every person, even those labeled “enemy.”
On the cross, facing state violence and mob hatred, He says: “Father, forgive them.”

He refuses to mirror the injustice done to Him. He breaks the cycle instead of continuing it.

I also find We are losing something deeply human

Our sense of dignity, restraint, and the Christian values we claim to hold.

There is a righteous anger many feel at the suffering and injustice in the world. But alongside it, I’ve noticed something darker taking root in me: a steady anger that doesn’t leave, and a growing struggle with hatred in my heart.

As a Catholic, I’m called to love my enemy and pray for those who do wrong. I’m trying to live that out, but I find it difficult when I witness suffering and the seeming celebration of destruction.

I feel guilt over the anger I carry. I go to confession with it, I pray with it, and still it remains.

I don’t know how we are meant to reconcile loving our enemies with the reality of evil and the harm it causes. I can understand praying for transformation—for peace, for repentance, for light—but forgiveness feels far away right now.

What I do know is that I don’t want this anger to harden my heart.

I pray for healing, for peace I don’t feel yet, and for the grace to hate evil without becoming consumed by it.

For the world. For everyone. Everywhere.

We need help beyond ourselves.

Wake up and stop following those who say Jesus is anything but peace, love and mercy.

My sincere wish to get to a state where I feel no more hate but a strong burning desire to pray for those that I am criticizing and those that are gleefully engaged in war and endless killing.

Angry Pentagon Sources Leak Report Of Israel's 'Unhinged' Spying On US Officials https://t.co/BHDohijsa1

Can you imagine what happens to israel once the U.S. electorate stops electing pro-israel politicians that are more loyal to Israel than the U.S.?

I’ll tell you.

They will seek peace.

That’s the only way to tame a wild beast

Make sure it understands it has to coexist or it will be removed

The U.S. is the only reason Israel can act with impunity

This is coming to an end and is the reason why they have accelerated their oddasity and war crimes in order to achieve their shameless objectives while they still have cover

Time is running out. ⌛️

@KobeissiLetter BS. He knows what’s happening.

He’s told and has to just shut up and accept

That whole blowout last week was for show

What a loser

@realCarola2Hope Trumps warning was for show

He dares not oppose yahoo

[₿ilo @Bilo888]

@purgedwhyssop answered you but to be even clearer and to draw upon scripture: It’s about love AND justice.

God became man and suffered on our behalf, accepting to take on our debt because in the Old Testament sin always required atonement and every covenant was broken by human weakness, yet God promised a day when He Himself would restore His people.

In Jesus, that promise is fulfilled: He enters our humanity to heal it from within, satisfies justice by taking on our sins, and reveals the depth of divine love by laying down His life for His friends, for there is no greater love than that.

Without love, there is nothing; on the Cross God was both carrying our sins and teaching us that true forgiveness is not cheap but sacrificial, and that His love is stronger than sin and death.

I hope this helps

@Antonio_Tajani @gidonsaar Antonio, Non ti ho visto condannare i palesi crimini di guerra quotidiani di Israele a Gaza e in Libano. Come mai?

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@AIPAC Fak off. It’s 100% true and has been confirmed by multiple outlets

Traitors all of you

[₿ilo @Bilo888]

@sheacurran How does that happen? They’re shameless…. Until getting money from lobbies that serve foreign governments becomes the litmus test to never getting elected, that won’t happen. How do the people still asleep wake up before it’s too late?

[₿ilo @Bilo888]

It amazes me that the US intel apparatus knows Israel spies on it at scale, yet Congress just intertwined our forces/tech even deeper.

Now the Senate wants a bill making it nearly impossible for any future President to scale back intel sharing with Israel.

At a time when country after country is done with Israel’s tactics & civilian toll, America stands alone in unconditional support for Israel.

Tell me how this is not an occupied nation

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

The Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on the U.S. to the highest level and AIPAC is openly cheering Republicans for section 224 in the NDAA that merges our military with Israel’s military.
Our government is being captured.

This isn’t Lebanon.

This is Gaza right now.

Israel is dropping bombs on tents packed with families in the middle of the night in Khan Younis.

This is what they call a “ceasefire.”

The “oldest canon list” argument collapses the moment you look at the actual historical record. Melito’s list isn’t a Christian canon; it’s a travel report…
he went to Palestine specifically to ask Jews what books they used.

Meanwhile, the earliest Christian scriptural collection we physically possess is the Septuagint, and it already includes Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and Maccabees.

These books show up in 1st–2nd century Christian writings, liturgy, and homilies across Alexandria, Antioch, Rome, and North Africa.

The only thing that appears in the late 4th century is formal ratification, not invention.

If anything, the “accretion” runs the other direction: rabbinic Judaism contracted its canon after 70 AD, while Christians preserved the broader Greek canon they had been using from the start.

[₿ilo @Bilo888]

The claim that “all nations turning against Israel proves we’re in the last days” collapses the biblical category of Israel into a modern secular state that the New Testament never identifies with your israel

Jesus Himself taught that the true Israel is defined by faith and obedience, not ethnicity or geopolitics (Matthew 3:9; Galatians 3:7), and He warned that nations would rage against His followers, not a 20th‑century nation‑state cr retest by terrorists and atheists built on secular nationalism.

FTX / SBF led Anthropic’s Series B in April 2022: $500M for ~8% stake at ~$4B valuation.

After the collapse, the estate sold it all in 2024 for ~$1.34B (2.7x return) 🤨

Today at $965B–$1T pre-IPO valuation?

That stake would be worth **$77–80 BILLION**.🤯🤯🤯

One of tech’s biggest “what ifs.” 😵‍💫

@Camila_Rocha To clarify, nothing wrong with N.O. Lots of these masses still adhere to strict catechism regardless.

The issue is the pastorship

[₿ilo @Bilo888]

@Camila_Rocha That’s sad and very inconsistent with Catholic mass. I hope enough people do speak up

[₿ilo @Bilo888]

You won’t change the narrative because no true catholic can support Israel in the way it’s conducting itself. Israel alone can change the narrative and. It by buying more media but by stopping its criminality.

You’re either a pretend catholic working for Israel or you don’t understand Catholicism or Christianity for that matter.

Israel the ethnocentric secular state created last century by terrorists and atheists had nothing to do with biblical Israel and the NT is clear on what Israel became after Christ

I’ll give you 1 guess
