🇺🇸🇻🇦 Pentagon ALLEGEDLY threatened the Pope’s ambassador
The U.S. told Cardinal Christophe Pierre: America can do whatever it wants, and the Catholic Church better get in line.
Trying to censor the Pope? So much for the separation of church and state

@KaterinaM_ASMR Social media isn't reality. Don't let viral bubbles define truth, life and humans are far more complex. You are inherently valuable even with your struggles. It’s okay to admit you need others,we aren't meant to carry everything alone. Stay grounded and strong, friends.
@nekaishi This is the complexity that many choose to ignore through lazy simplifications. It’s easy to label & judge from a distance but it takes real courage to acknowledge the silent exhaustion of those who provide, protect, & bleed in silence. Thanks for speaking the uncomfortable truth
They’re tired.
Tired of being told their only purpose is to suffer, to die, or to listen and shut up
Tired of being treated as worthless — that all men are the same and should be punished for what others did
Tired of having their deepest wounds weaponized against them from the one time they actually opened up
Tired of the world feeling stacked against them from birth
Tired of being cheated on, endlessly rejected, and ghosted
Tired of being expected to pay, provide, protect, and act chivalrous and traditional — while receiving no respect, love, or admiration at all, ever
Tired of living in constant fear of divorce — the kind that can take everything, including their children
Tired of being labeled toxic and dangerous by default
Tired of being told their masculinity is inherently monstrous and they should be ashamed of it
Tired of doing the deadliest jobs… and dying
Tired of being told to “man up” instead of receiving real help
Tired of being considered disposable in every crisis or war
Tired of watching their friends disappear as they grow older and slowly but surely having literally no one
Tired of feeling invisible until someone wants money or favors — of being seen as just a bank account
Tired of never being given anything
Tired of being rejected as a friend without even being given a chance, simply because they’re a man
Tired of having no communities that actually support them
Tired of serving as the emotional punching bag with nowhere to turn
Tired of having their emotions shut down the second they speak
Tired of their pain being mocked and their suffering belittled
Tired of being shamed with names like “stop being a baby” that humiliate their pride as men — over trauma most people couldn’t begin to handle
Tired of their achievements and growth being ignored, dismissed as “privilege,” or shrugged off entirely
Tired of being replaced the instant they show any weakness
Tired of living in a society that only values them when they’re useful
Tired of being told to not believe their own eyes and ears
Tired of people telling them they have it easy, when it’s so far and beyond anything but
I have many people I love, men and women, and despite not having that support for most of my life — despite suffering more than most people I’ve ever met — I now have those who have gone so far above and beyond to help me. People who I can turn to, whom I am and will forever be grateful for
I don’t honestly often speak for myself on this platform. I’m not speaking for myself; I can handle hell. I speak for the ones who need someone to speak for them
I’m tired of no one ever talking about truths that people find uncomfortable. I’m tired of the pandering, the grandstanding, the virtue signalling. People being afraid that if they’re honest they’ll be rejected, blacklisted, blocked. I’m tired of people always saying what everyone WANTS to believe, and never what people need to hear. I’m tired of people saying whatever it takes to get clout from people they can benefit from, even playing into lies because it’s the accepted narrative. Saying the easy thing for clicks or money
You can have a spine, be a man, be chivalrous, authentic, and real, and still make something of yourself. You can go through literal hell, again and again and still make it through with a smile on your face, and a heart to lead
I plan on being proof of that.
Let go of anything keeping you from that path. The world needs you now more than ever guys
@ins0mnia15 @karimakayyim Generalisasi trauma pribadi jadi simplifikasi kolektif hanya mengerdilkan manusia seluas batas ketakutan sendiri. Ini bukan edukasi, tapi retorika reduksionis demi rasa aman semu. Dengan logika yang sama, justru dia yang perlu dijauhi karena sedang melakukan proyeksi psikologis.
@ByGraceAL0NE@bethecreed If you don't believe Christ founded His Church on Peter & gave him the charge to shepherd it, then there's no need to refute you. You're simply proving St. Augustine’s point: you accept what you like & reject what you don't. It is not the Gospel you follow but your own reflection
BREAKING
The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jersualem have issued a letter CONDEMNING 'damaging ideologies' such as 'Christian Zionism'
In a stunning statement, they lament those who 'have misled the public' and who have an agenda which 'may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land ane the wider Middle East'
@trad_west_ "Sometimes, the hardest martyrdom is enduring a long life of faithfulness while everyone else dies or leaves."
This hit differently. Thank you.
The proper theological question is not, "Will everyone be saved?" but rather, "Will everyone choose to receive salvation?"
Salvation is a free gift offered by God to everyone, yet it requires a free response from the human person.
Not everyone chooses to be saved; some persist in resisting the grace offered by the Lord.
Luke 23:39-43, both are criminals but one choose to be saved while the others rejected it.
Man possesses free will to either accept or reject salvation, and to accept or reject God.
The true question is: Will every person straighten their finger to meet God's extended hand, as depicted in the Creation of Adam?
This act of reaching out signifies the cooperation of the human will with God's saving grace.
God is The Causa Prima. Ipsum esse subsistense. The exist itself is the esse and subsistense.
"God doesn't *'exist'* in the way creatures do; rather, **God *is* Existence itself.**
1. **The First Cause (Causa Prima):** God is the uncaused, first cause of everything. He is the **Actus Purus** (Pure Act) who does not require anything to bring Him into being, because He is the origin of all existence.
2. **Subsistent Existence Itself (Ipsum Esse Subsistens):** This is the core answer. God is not merely a being who *has* existence; He *is* the very act of being. His essence (what He is) and His existence (that He is) are **identical**.
3. **Self-Explaining:** Therefore, we don't ask 'How does God exist?' because He is the ultimate explanation. He is the **Necessary Being** whose nature demands existence. Everything else (creatures) only *participates* in His existence."
I hope this short explanation helps you understand the concept.
