[OC Bishop @OCBishop]

(Part 2):
As Bishop of Orange, I affirm my communion with Pope Leo XIV and my gratitude for his faithful witness to the Gospel in a time of great complexity and tension. I encourage the faithful entrusted to my care, and all people of goodwill, to receive his words with the seriousness they deserve, to pray for peace among nations (cf. 1 Tim 2:1–2), and to commit themselves to the hard and necessary work of building a world in which the Gospel and the dignity of every human life are recognized and protected.

Principlism: an inadequate ethical theory for medical decisions

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

The cult of “my truth” replaces #epistemology with sentiment, and #logic with performance.
What remains is not discourse, but disintegration.
Only objective truth sustains a rational world.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

Truth is not invented—it is discovered.
The claim “my #truth is that the Earth is flat” is not controversial; it is simply #false.
Belief cannot undo #reality.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

If “your truth” says X happened and “my #truth” says it didn’t,
only one aligns with what actually occurred.
Without #objective standards, all #dialogue becomes impossible.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

Truth is not a mirror of emotion but of reality.
“My truth is that I was betrayed” might describe a feeling, not a fact.
To conflate #experience with #truth is to abandon philosophy for autobiography.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

A proposition cannot be both true and false at once.
#Relativism violates the principle of non-contradiction and collapses into incoherence.
One cannot defend “my truth” without destroying #reason itself.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

The phrase “my truth” presumes that reality bends to individual perception.
But truth is not fragmented. #Truth is correspondence with what is—not with what is felt or preferred.
#Subjectivity is not sovereignty.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

My new article, “From #solidarity to speculation: how actuarial #logic undermines the dignity of the patient,” has been published in #Medicina e #Morale.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

The #priest’s sin does not nullify Christ’s action, but his holiness makes it visible.
A faithful priest does not make the sacrament valid—but he draws hearts to receive it fruitfully,
not by office alone, but by the witness of his life.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

No man can love his enemy, endure humiliation, or bear the cross by sheer willpower.
Without #sacramentalgrace, virtue collapses into exhaustion.
Only the Eucharist makes supernatural life possible.

[Fr. Diego Menniti @FrDMenniti]

#SundayMass is not optional. It is the weekly covenant of divine #life.
To absent oneself is not freedom but famine—rejecting the very food by which the soul lives.
To receive the Body is to remain in Christ. To reject it is to cut oneself off.
