Robin DiAngelo has been MIA ever since I had this heart to heart conversation with her. It’s a shame. I really thought we had a breakthrough moment here.

The horror film “Obsession” is a surprise hit at the box office this summer. Made for around one million dollars, it has already grossed over a hundred and fifty million. But it's not only a financial success; it's also a spiritually quite interesting film. What drives the plot is a young man's ardent desire to be loved by the woman whom he loves. Seeking a gift for Nikki in an occult store, Bear finds a device that advertises itself as “One Wish Willow.” If you break the stick and make a wish, it will come true. In his desperation, he follows the instructions, and it works like a charm. The previously diffident Nikki becomes totally devoted to the delighted Bear. All his dreams, it seems, have come true. Then things go, shall we say, south. I won't spoil any more of the plot. Suffice it to say that Nikki proceeds to devour the young man and push him toward despair.

Throughout this film, I kept thinking of Oscar Wilde's famous line: “the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want.” The spiritual issue here is one that the masters have recognized for centuries and one that stands at the very heart of Biblical revelation: if you tie your deepest desire to anything or anyone other than God, you will find, not satisfaction, but destruction. This is the moral teaching behind the great Shema prayer: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone.” Jesus reiterates this when he says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your strength.” The psalmist affirms it when he sings, “Only in God will my soul be at rest.”

During the rite of Confirmation, I ask the young people a series of questions, the first of which is “do you renounce Satan and all his works and empty promises?” Up and down the ages, Satan has made the same empty promise: I will give you something less than God and it will make you happy. In point of fact, it will ruin you, and the more you seek to acquire it, the unhappier you will become. What becomes clear in the course of “Obsession” is that the owners of the occult shop where Bear bought the fateful wish-willow are in fact involved with very dark spiritual powers. In my conversations with exorcists, I hear over and over again that those who get ensnared by the devil commence by dabbling in the occult.

“Obsession” is a good horror movie. If you like the genre, and you're not too squeamish, go see it. For it won't just scare you; it will offer some important spiritual truths.

BREAKING:

The autopsy for 18-year-old Lexi Arguello has been released.

Lexi died after a 22-week botched abortion at Planned Parenthood in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Her family says staff “waited too long to call for help and they specifically requested no sirens on the ride to the hospital.”

I wonder why Mehdi edited out my response and also turned off replies to this clip from the debate he lost. Almost seems like the clip and description of it might be misleading… 🤔

Another clear and beautiful example of how life doesn't begin at birth.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 A baby was partially delivered at 25 weeks, put back in, and delivered AGAIN!

His surgeon did something that had never been done before…

Partially delivered him via C-section while keeping him attached to the placenta, opened an airway, then placed him back.

His mom: "Not a lot of women get to have a C-section, but they're still pregnant after."

Cassian spent 132 days in the NICU before finally getting to go home.

He's now 8 months old. Incredible!

An fetus is growing, so it's alive. It has human parents and DNA, so it's human.

Faced with this truth, pro-choicers often bring up completely arbitrary categories in order to deny that humanity, like:

-size
-consciousness
-self-awareness
-feeling pain

Here's why they fail:🧵

One of my favorite topics for Pope Leo to cover is AI bc he (1) understands it well, (2) has a nuanced take that is thoughtfully cautious while (3) warning about dimensions of AI that many people ignore.

.@michaeljknowles tells @FoxFriendsFirst that Dems are seeking to exacerbate the rift between President Trump and Pope Leo:

"Emperors and popes have had a tension between them going back about 2,000 years...[Democrats] are trying to pry that Catholic vote away from President Trump because it's been so important to his coalition."

[JD Vance @JDVance]

I am grateful to Pope Leo for saying this. While the media narrative constantly gins up conflict–and yes, real disagreements have happened and will happen–the reality is often much more complicated.

Pope Leo preaches the gospel, as he should, and that will inevitably mean he offers his opinions on the moral issues of the day. The President–and the entire administration–work to apply those moral principles in a messy world.

He will be in our prayers, and I hope that we'll be in his.

[Joseph Nolla, SJ @josephnollasj]

There is an ongoing misinformation campaign against the Pope.

I get if some people feel conflicted about the Pope speaking against the war, but don’t be fooled into believing the lies about the Pope.

Below are three of the main lies I see:
