The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

I feel like I should take a moment to clarify something.

I’m not really trying to attach myself to @RealCandaceO.

In January, she went so far as to mention me & my father by name on her podcast, in her attempt to connect dots that literally don’t exist. If they did, I wouldn’t be speaking out today. Duh.

But on this, the principle matters.

If Candace had been publicly assassinated, and a large portion of the public suspected the people at the Daily Wire had something to do with it, Charlie wouldn’t have let it go. He would’ve demanded answers relentlessly until the truth came out. Even if he wasn’t right 100% of the time. Because that’s the kind of person he was, and encouraged us all to be. Every day.

Asking questions isn’t sinful. Murder is. Which has @MrsErikaKirk been more forgiving of?

Charlie was ALWAYS skeptical of intelligence agencies and official narratives. That was core to who he was. Whether it was COVID, or George Floyd, the War in Iran, etc…

So, to act like we, the American People, should just stop asking questions about his death because @TPUSA & the grifters running the show are telling us to, is quite frankly ridiculous.

This the exact sort of thing Charlie would press in on.

I am proud and thankful to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives with my friend Thomas Massie, a giant among weak pathetic men.

Releasing the Epstein files was our demise.

But it was worth every single bit because now everyone knows the truth.

You are ruled by the Epstein class that cares nothing about you and your elected leaders are bought and controlled by a foreign lobby.

Tonight the future of the Republican Party was destroyed.

The Real America First Movement will rise led by the younger generations, who hate the old guard with an unquenchable passion.

Let us pray that we have a country left by the time these creatures are gone.

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond.

1. The Pope was not elected to please any president.

Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025. 

The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics.

To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth.

2. He was not an unknown outsider.

Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide. 

He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals.

3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics.

An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him. 

His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party.

4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan.

When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government.

His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19).

A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate.

5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history.

From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power.

“We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump.

But we stand firmly with our Holy Father.

Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.

As part of psychological torture, Israeli captors told Palestinian hostage from Gaza Shadi abu Seido that his family and children had been bombed and killed..

He was shocked when he was released and found them alive..

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

[Catholics for Catholics 🇺🇲 @CforCatholics]

Maronite Catholics in Lebanon are praying the Rosary in the streets, defying brutal Israeli strikes and religious persecution.

Let us unite with them in prayer for peace.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

[Shawn Ryan @ShawnRyan762]

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side.
They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will.
So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican?

#SaintJoseph cared for the family that the Lord entrusted to him. Guardianship means being attentive to others, respecting their choices, and caring for them. St. Joseph shows us that presence and guardianship are inseparable dimensions: we can only care for others by being present, and we are only present when we assume responsibility for the other.

[Orthodox Christian @orthodox_33ad]

Israel has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indefinitely for the first time in the history of Christianity.

Holy Week and Easter services will be prohibited. Sunday masses and liturgies cancelled. A church that should be packed with hundreds of thousands these coming weeks is being forcibly shut and silenced.

Israel cites it is for ‘security concerns’ while Jewish Israelis are allowed to celebrate in mass gatherings. Alongside the forced closure of Al-Aqsa mosque, reports cite priests aggressively being turned away to perform daily services.

Throughout history, wars, tensions, or even the pandemic limited access to the sanctuary, but they had never prevented liturgical celebrations in this central place of Christian faith indefinitely. Christians must not remain silent.
