@VaticanNews Conscience is free only when bound to Truth. A society that protects every conscience without forming it in Christ builds not freedom but a Babel of errors—unity in the Cross, not diversity in darkness.

Mos maiorum non est adoratio cinerum, sed ignis custodia — Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

@shannonrwatts Paxton said God has a plan and life is short after Uvalde. That’s basic Christian belief, not ‘vile.’ The real issue is people weaponizing dead kids to score political points instead of dealing with the actual problem. Outrage is the point.

@JournalInquirer In regard to Yale, their standard has supposedly improved, only after the 2023 DOJ investigation proved that they were preferring certain races with lower standards. However, Yale also doesn’t make this data public. Who knows if they stopped giving preferential treatment.

@cnalive The enemy is not at the gate, it is in the gate.

At New York City’s 9/11 25th-anniversary memorial, Catherine Hernandez paid tribute to her father, Norberto Hernandez, recalling his love and protection before concluding with the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.

The powerful moment was broadcast live on major news networks and streamed to millions.

Do you pray this beautiful prayer?

“St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all those who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”

@CatholicArena Wish someone would make a movie about this.

@JournalInquirer Unfortunately not surprising. The Clancy trial has emboldened these women to hurt their own children.

@JournalInquirer Love when the laws are actually enforced in CT. Federal immigration authority isn’t optional. If you’re here illegally, you can be arrested anywhere—including the airport. Sanctuary posturing doesn’t override the Constitution.

@NCRegister Great timely piece Tom. I had no idea about most of these stories but sure glad I came across them. Love stories like this that reinforce the idea that true Christianity is not for the weak.

@JournalInquirer It appears the lone juror was the only sane one. That juror needs to be celebrated.

Civilisations don’t always collapse because their enemies are strong, they collapse because their own people grow weak, and weakness is a civilisational liability.

When virtue is abandoned and vigilance fades, corruption slips both through the city walls and into the hearts of men — not as an invader but as a welcomed guest. It is ushered in by the traitor, the one who opens the gates and delivers friends into the hands of their enemies.

In his History of Rome Titus Livius captured this dynamic with brutal precision, writing that the greatest enterprises are destroyed “not by open force” but “by treachery which is the cause of ruin”.

Decay begins slowly, with the softening of the austere spirit under the influence of comfort and luxury, until it culminates in a decisive moment capable of radically altering the course of history. It is at such moments that the archetypal traitor emerges.

Where loyalty, sacrifice and fidelity are demanded, the traitor proves duplicitous, opportunistic, and self-preserving. In doing so, he exemplifies Plato’s moral axiom that “the greatest wrong is to harm one’s friends and help one’s enemies”.

The traitor is therefore not just a danger to himself but a danger to society, since his weakness becomes contagious, destroying others in the very act of destroying himself. His treason fractures the bonds that hold families and friends together and accelerates a race to the proverbial bottom in which loyalty becomes a commodity to be priced, traded, and sold to the highest bidder.

Once treachery becomes contagious, it no longer appears as an aberration but as a pattern — one that recurs with grim regularity throughout the pages of history.

For this reason, treason is not just an individual moral failure but an anti‑political act in the strictest sense.

Every society rests on a fragile architecture of trust — trust between citizens, between rulers and ruled, between families, allies, and institutions. The traitor annihilates this trust.

This is a truth most evident in the three infamous archetypes: Judas Iscariot, the traitor to faith; Ephialtes, the traitor to the fatherland; and Brutus, the traitor to the family.

G.K. Chesterton, truth nuke

@BishopBarron Appreciate all of the work both of you have done and continue to do to. Your endeavors have led me back toward the faith and will be working on getting baptized in the faith along with my young daughter.

@ClarkeMicah Humanity does not yield because its stewards falter or its walls are breached. The Great Work endures. Raise new fortresses upon the ruins. Purge the corruption within. Advance. The stars themselves are Man’s inheritance. Claim them, or be forgotten.

[Gilbus Maximus @Gilbus_Maximus]

@JournalInquirer Disgusting. Another great example of Chesterton’s fence.

@cnalive Godspeed sisters

@JournalInquirer Weakness of the flesh is a failure of will and a threat to the species. Those who surrender to excess endanger all of humanity. Master your desires or be discarded. Pity that sustains the frail only multiplies the risk.
