I truly believe that within 50 years, Catholics will be singled out as those “weirdos” who do two things:
1) have special needs children—because everyone else will have already bought into the belief that children with disabilities ought to be killed in the womb.
2) visit and help the aged and infirm—because everyone else will euthanize them at the first moment of unavoidable suffering.
While postmodern society goes headfirst into the “throwaway culture” and the “culture of death”, Catholics will be distinguished as the ones who still believe in the dignity of life.
A major medical journal published a POEM by an MD about forgetting that she was on call, not knowing how to perform the necessary procedure when she finally showed up late, and plausibly being responsible for that patient’s death.
She learns to forgive her laziness and incompetence by shopping online, watching TV, and playing with her dog.
I’m not kidding.
This was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a serious, high-impact journal run by the American College of Physician that publishes clinical guidelines, systematic evidence reviews, and methods papers.
The poem contains no indication of sorrow, regret, or taking responsibility for what happened.
This isn’t the message you’d want or expect a leading medical journal to elevate as part of its stated mission to “promote excellence in medicine.”
Unbelievable.
As I’m on the path to becoming Catholic I have incorporated many prayers and intentions into my daily life. Anyone else praying the Novena to the Holy Spirit during this time?
They Expect You to Be the Next Victim
Just a reminder that October 7th was over two years ago, and not only did the press downplay the massive atrocities committed against women and children, but governments including our own purposely buried critical facts from the public.
People were not told that Osama bin Laden’s own sons were involved in the planning for this massive coordinated attack, or that it was not just Hamas on the ground. Terrorists tied to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and yes, even the Taliban of all things, were all there, too. The terrorists have evolved and we can’t even get the truth out to the public regarding this convergence.
I like to ask people, why do you think so many of the attackers during October 7th were on hooked Captagon? Because they got hooked on it sitting around in Syria waiting for the attacks to kick off. A simple fact no one seems to understand.
When you are lied to about the enemy, a large portion of the country is left mentally and physically unprepared. October 7th is not viewed by these terrorist groups as an isolated event. It was treated as a dress rehearsal for their upcoming attacks against the U.S. homeland.
That is not speculation, it is what Al-Qaeda senior trainers told terrorists while they were cross-training in Afghanistan for both October 7th and the U.S. homeland plot. If your math is good you are realizing some of these terrorists have been on U.S. soil since 2023. They think about the attack they are going to carry out every single second of every day. They walk by you on the street and the supermarket and fantasy about the harm coming to you.
Our government can stick its head in the sand all it wants and continue to make a mockery out of the counterterrorism fight, but refusing to educate yourself on the tactics used by the more than 8,000 terrorists involved in the October 7th attack does not just put you at a disadvantage, it puts the people you love at risk too.
Do not look away, especially when that is exactly what the terrorists and the useful idiots aiding and abetting them want. They expect you to stay distracted, silent, fearful, and willing to become the next victim.
Time to say: HELL NO!
@TRHLofficial We did it! The Commonwealth has been protected from the Democrat power grab. However, I am seriously concerned that even 3 members of the Court decided that blatant violation of the state Constitution was acceptable.
@Cline4Virginia Agreed! And thank you for being a consistent voice against these blatant Democrat power grabs. But I’m seriously concerned that even 3 members of the Court decided it was okay to abrogate the state Constitution.
@Cernovich Good news is that those of us in the Commonwealth won with this decision. Bad news: there were 3 members of the Court who willfully ignored the state Constitution in order to side with the Democrats’ brazen partisan gerrymandering.
Jason, while I am happy with the Court’s decision, I am concerned that it was 4-3. I haven’t had a chance to read the opinion but I can’t for the life of me understand how even 3 members of the Court could have voted in favor of the Constitution-violating gerrymandering done by the Democrats.
When I first saw the hantavirus story I thought: given it's a single stranded RNA virus, Ivermectin is very likely to work--because IVM is effective with RNA viruses generally. Look what happened when I pursued it with Claude.
It clammed up, for "safety" reasons.
Buckle up!
Had a great time last night at @jayleno’s stand-up comedy show. At 76 years young, he’s still got it! Thanks for the laughs and the amazing evening, Jay!
For those asking what the Church officially teaches, and who might feel confused in light of the final synod report:
Marriage was instituted by God and elevated by Christ to a Sacrament. It will always and only exist in truth between one man and one woman. (Gen 2:24; Mt 19:4–6; CCC 1601)
Engaging in homosexual acts, or any sexual acts outside of the marital act, is sinful. (Rom 1:26–27; 1 Cor 6:9–10; CCC 2351, 2357)
Love for the person means telling them the truth, and certainly does no leave them where they are. Meeting people where they are is delicate indeed, but “go and sin no more” is also merciful and compassionate.
The ministerial priesthood will only consist of men. (OS 4; CCC 1577)
There is only one true Church, the Catholic Church. (LG 8; CCC 816)
This is what the Church teaches and it will never change. To depart from these teachings is to depart from Christ and His Church. (Gal 1:8–9; 2 Thess 2:15)
The Church will always uphold the dignity of every human person and express how loved they are by God, while also proclaiming that repentance from sin, and remaining faithful to Church teaching on marriage, Holy Orders, and the purpose of human sexuality, are essential to being faithful Catholics. (Jn 8:11; CCC 1700, 1847, 2358)
You may say, “People know this, why be so blunt?” The problem is that confusion about these topics exists, and where there is confusion, crystal clear non-ambiguous language is necessary. You may say “but the synod is not seeking to change anything, but discover new ways of meeting people and make them feel less alienated.” Yet, are we concerned with souls being alienated from the Kingdom of God because we only focused on building bridges? If you build a bridge, repentance needs to be the support beams, otherwise like a house built on sand, it will collapse.
