@ChristopherHale I love this so much. Hegseth wants to make this a Christian crusade and the biggest Christian leaders are saying what the U.S. and Israel are doing is immoral.

[TheAsymmetricMind @asymmetricmind]

Yesterday: A president claimed the Pope’s authority came from him.
Today: A Cardinal called the war immoral from the pulpit — and received a standing ovation.
The Church didn’t flinch.
That’s not religion versus politics.
That’s legitimate authority holding its ground against inversion.
Watch this space.
Pattern > Noise. 🌹

[Thomas P (TOM) Logan 🇯🇵 🇺🇸 @TokyoTom2020]

The Catholic Church perhaps should escalate this to the issue of making appeals now to followers of the Catholic Faith who wear the uniform of the United States Armed Services, not to obey illegal orders, which do not fall under the general order of Catholic Just War philosophy.

Hegseth wanted Christian religion in the DoD….well, let’s give it to him.

In a prayer vigil for peace, Pope Leo XIV delivered his sharpest condemnation of the Trump-Vance war on Iran to date.

He called the current moment a “delusion of omnipotence” and condemned the dragging of God's name “into discourses of death.”

Leaders who turn their backs on God, the pope said, have turned themselves and their own power into a “mute, blind, and deaf idol” that demands the whole world bend its knee.

“Enough of war. True strength is shown in serving life.”

He told the faithful that he receives letters from children in war zones every day.

“They tell of the pain and sorrow of war, while grown-ups boast of its effects. We must listen to the children.” https://t.co/diozdsCni2

Frank was skydiving for the first time. He couldn't open his chute.

As he looked down, he saw a guy in an apron flying up towards him.

Frank: Hey! Do you know how to open a parachute?

Guy: No! Do you know how to light a barbecue?

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take up civic action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran.

“When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders.

“It is not enough to say we have prayed. We must also act. For it is very possible that the negotiations will fail because of recalcitrance on both sides, and the president will move to re-enter this immoral war.

“At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison:

“No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”

Shoutout to Ben Griscti, who played his first competitive game since his freak injury last August, where a ring collapsed on him.

Keen to see him on an NBL court next season.

The late Greg Olbrich told me in 2021 that his then 17yo son @lachlan_olbrich - who hadn't played a game in the @NBL at that stage - would one day play in the NBA. A triple-double today would have Greg smiling down from above 🇦🇺🏀👌

[nblfacts @nblfacts]

Today was the first time in NBA history two South Australians recorded 10 assists on the same day.

Lachlan Olbrich 10 assists for Chicago at Dallas
(new career high)

Joe Ingles 10 assists for Minnesota vs New Orleans
(20th time 10+ dimes)

@Adelaide36ers Didn't give Mikey a real chance to show what he could do.
He'll probably go to Tassie and torch us for 30 points next season
