More Catholics MUST read the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church, the Catechism, and Papal encyclicals.

Far too many Catholics are being led astray by American Politics and allowing it to shape their Catholicism rather than vice versa.

@aequisto @programmingchad @BigSteveOG2 So, by your standards, it is location which defined personhood?

Hypothetically, after a baby was born, which you admit is a person, and we somehow put them back in, they are no longer a person?

[Leosephus @DymphnaIosephus]

@aequisto @programmingchad @BigSteveOG2 Where are you getting this criteria for someone being a person? Is this an actual philosophical position or is this just your own personal opinion; if the latter, why does your opinion have more authority on the matter than other’s?

Two stages of research:

1) I think I’m onto something
2) oh no

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.

@FrankieInVegas @politico The Church’s law is priority to secular law.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

Pope Leo XIV reaffirms the Catholic Church’s rejection of the death penalty, recalling that the common good can be “safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment.”

@Lord_Poz @atarimoe @Sassafrass_84 The point he was making is that the Pope DOESNT support abortion

@PrayTheRosary @Pontifex I mean, CCC 2267 says it’s inadmissible

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

USCCB President Condemns Plans for Livestream of Fort Hood Shooter's Execution as ‘a Barbaric Promotion of a Culture of Death’

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

The Catholic Church teaches that the death penalty is "inadmissible," primarily because every human being has God-given dignity, even a murderer, even a mass murderer. The televising of an execution is barbarism of the worst kind, offering up death as entertainment.

Some Catholics still reject Pope Francis's magisterial pronouncement on the death penalty, which is now included in the Catechism. But opposition to the death penalty, grounded in the respect for all human life, is not a brand new doctrine. Rather, it is one that took time to develop, as the church came to understand more deeply the innate dignity of every human life.

"The new evangelization calls for followers of Christ who are unconditionally pro-life: who will proclaim, celebrate and serve the Gospel of life in every situation. A sign of hope is the increasing recognition that the dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil. . . . I renew the appeal I made . . . for a consensus to end the death penalty, which is both cruel and unnecessary."

Fortunately, a leader cannot change the definition on a word.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. https://t.co/Ij21tkb3qT

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The first mission of the Church is to help people be attentive to the profound questions of life: those concerning our origin and our destiny, as well as those concerning the meaning of love and suffering. The logic of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information risk exerting undue pressure on people to conform to a lifestyle centred on the consumption of material goods, but our hearts are made to look upwards. #GeneralAudience
