Catholic. “To whatever things a man’s heart is tied, and where his desire draws him, that is his God.” -St Marcarius of Egypt

Remember: people are more attracted to gossip, bad news, conflict and negativity that's why those who hunger for attention dish the dirt... Be better than that.

@dlongenecker1 Don’t tempt me with a good time 😭😂

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

“We are among the biggest fools in history if we keep on paying people to make us hate each other. Whether it is called by pretty names like ‘multiculturalism,’ ‘diversity’ or ‘gender awareness,’ that is what it all boils down to.”

— Thomas Sowell

I understand that one of the topics under consideration at the Consistory of Cardinals is synodality. I’m speaking as a bishop who was an elected delegate to both rounds of the Synod and Synodality in Rome and who has just presided over a local synod in my own diocese. Synods are good and useful tools for the determination of practical pastoral strategies, but they oughtn’t to be forums for debate regarding doctrine. When settled teaching becomes a subject for synodal determination, the Church devolves into relativism and self-doubt—as is clearly evident in the misconceived “Synodal Way” in Germany. I’m sympathetic with the founders of the journal “Communio”—Joseph Ratzinger, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Henri de Lubac—who broke with the journal Concilium the stated purpose of which was the perpetuation of the “spirit of Vatican II.” The great Communio theologians said that councils are indeed sometimes necessary in the life of the Church but that one sighs with relief at the end of a council, for the Church can then return to its essential work. As long as it sits in council, the Church is in suspense, unsure of itself, wringing its hands. It was precisely the perpetuation of the spirit of Vatican II that led to so much vacillation and drift in the years when I was coming of age.

So, if we must continue with synodality, let it be dedicated to the consideration of practical means by which the Church can more effectively do its work of worshipping God, evangelizing, and serving the poor. And let it not be a defining and permanent feature of the Church’s life, lest we lose our verve and focus.

@StoneJAlex There are some incredible answers here and what I would say has probably been said but I’ll be praying for you, Alex. God bless you! Happy Easter! ☺️🙏

AVILA, Spain—Tomb of St Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church and Reformer of the Carmelite Order, has been opened.
Body of Saint found “Incorrupt”—@diocesisdeavila

“Today the tomb of St. Teresa has been opened and we have found that it is in the same condition as the last opening in 1914".

This is the most awaited statement on this August 28, and it was pronounced by the Postulator General of the Order of the Discalced Carmel, Father Marco Chiesa. And it is the first conclusion reached by the experts after the opening this August 28 of the tomb of the Saint of Avila, whose body remains incorrupt since 1582.

“It is time, in the West, to defend not so much human rights as human obligations. Destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society appears to have little defense against the abyss of human decadence...”

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

It has been the great tragedy of our time that people were taught to read and not taught to reason.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

I do believe in Christianity, and my impression is that a system must be divine which has survived so much insane mismanagement.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Modern toleration is really a tyranny. It is a tyranny because it is a silence. To say that I must not deny my opponent's faith is to say that I must not discuss it.

[Fr. Dwight Longenecker @dlongenecker1]

Repeating a lie louder and longer does not make it true.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Some of the most civilized and highly organized cultures, like Carthage at its wealthiest, had human sacrifice at its worst. Culture, like science, is no protection against demons.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

As a matter of fact, the Conservative has exactly the same error as the Progressive. It consists in the fact that each of them allows truth to be determined by time. That is to say, he judges a thing by whether it is of yesterday or today or tomorrow, and not by what it is in eternity.

@father_rmv These designs….Tell me you’re not in love with the Lord without telling me you’re not in love with the Lord 😐

@vmfaurote @CatholicHerald I would love sources, as well. I couldn’t find anything to corroborate this story

[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn @AI_Solzhenitsyn]

“And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul—don't let him be proud of his ‘progressive’ views, don't let him boast that he is an academician or a people's artist, a merited figure, or a general—let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward.”

@patrickmadrid so basically if robots can command bees, then Ant-Man controlling ants isn’t actually that far fetched 😂 this is wild.
