Pope Leo: "No one has said that the U.S. should have open borders. I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter. But when people are living good lives...to treat them in a way that is extremely disrespectful...I think the bishops have been very clear in what they've said...I would just invite all people in the U.S. to listen to them."
@ItsShubhangi I’m a Catholic married to a non-Catholic. My husband 100% knows I desire for him to enter into the Catholic Church one day. He is not put off by it. He actually has great respect for me because of it.
For more than 1,700 years, Saint Januarius’ blood has liquified on his most holy feast day.
Today, it happened again!
Tell me Catholicism isn’t totally rad and true!!!
Saint Januarius, holy martyr for the faith, pray for us.
I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart.
I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program, “Bishop Barron Presents,” and he eagerly accepted my invitation. He was scheduled to come to Rochester, Minnesota in about ten days. The last contact we had was two nights ago. After I appeared on one of the evening news shows to talk about the Religious Liberty Commission, he texted me and told me how much he appreciated what I said and then added, “I’m excited to join you on your show soon. God bless you.”
That last sentence shows what was most important to Charlie. He was indeed a great debater and also one of the best advocates in our country for civil discourse, but he was, first and last, a passionate Christian. In fact, when we had that breakfast in Phoenix, we didn’t talk much about politics. We talked about theology, in which he had a deep interest, and about Christ. I know I’m joining millions of people around the world in praying that he rests now in the peace of the Lord.
@ZacMabry My husband and I recently had to take dcfs to court in IL because they required it for all kids in foster care, and we were not going to let them give our foster daughter the vaccine. Thankfully it resulted in them changing their policy.
How many more shootings before our society recognizes gender dysphoria as a form of mental illness? We should be focused upon providing psychological and spiritual remedies geared toward holistic healing of such persons over physical alteration and encouragement of play acting.
To forgive does not mean to deny evil, but to prevent it from generating further evil. It is not to say that nothing has happened, but to do everything possible to ensure that resentment does not determine the future.
