@wild_branch @UcheMaryOkoli When people misunderstand a metaphor, Jesus usually clarifies. But in John 6:53, when they take Him literally and are offended, He intensifies the language instead of correcting it—and even lets them leave. That’s not how He treats a metaphor, so Catholics take it literally

[Shine @LilLight0fMine]

@wild_branch @UcheMaryOkoli John 6:35 is one of His many “I am” statements. Catholics see it as a metaphor, like John 10:7 & 8:12– no one is going around saying Jesus is a literal door/gate or a lightbulb. Jesus calls Himself the bread of life to show that faith in Him satisfies our deepest spiritual hunger

@CatholicPebble Have you considered being an online tutor? You can often find a lot of opportunities in that with your degrees & it’s usually a gig you can set your own or ideal working hours for.

St Matthew, Ora pro nobis ❤️

It has been 6 months+ since Fr. Emmanuel Ezemma was abducted from his home in the dead of the night by islamic terrorists.

He was abducted on 2nd December 2025.

Something still tells me that he is alive.

I will not stop praying for his quick and safe release.

Please in your kindness, pray for his safe release.

He is a good priest from my Diocese.

@NASA_Tim @JulieLovesFluff I’m confused. “The heart and soul of Christianity is Judaism” - if this is true, can you please explain Gittin 57a? How does saying Jesus of Nazareth is boiling in his excrement for the rest of time align with the heart of Christianity?

@Faithful2Pray What a beautiful place to pray!

250,000+ British girls.

What's included in this report is fucking harrowing:

- A baby was abused and had cigarettes stubbed out on it while the mother was forced to watch; the baby was then killed.
- Girls were set on fire.
- Girls were sent to “red rooms” to be tortured, some of them killed, some of it livestreamed.
- One girl was raped by a dog while men bet on whether it would vaginally or anally rape her.
- Girls were forced to have abortions with knitting needles.
- Glass bottles, keys, baseball bats, and other objects were forced inside them, some shattering.
- Girls were gang-raped by dozens of men at a time in “party houses.”
- Girls were whipped, hung upside down, suffocated, and urinated on.
- Girls as young as 5 or 6 were tied up and abused.
- Girls were locked in dog cages.
- Girls were branded with an “M” for Muhammad.
- Girls were threatened with being killed and fed to pigs.
- Girls were mocked for wearing a crucifix during the rapes.

All of this was carried out by predominantly South Asian, Pakistani men, with smaller numbers from Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, Bangladeshi, and Iraqi men.

And yet perpetrators were let off, authorities turned a blind eye, and it continues to this day because people are scared of being called racist.

Anyone who covered for this needs to face the death penalty alongside all of those who hurt these girls.

I'm glad Rupert Lowe and everyone else behind this put this together; it needs to be seen by everyone.

@SongCaster7 @BreeSolstad I have not met many people who have heard of her, so knowing that she is still revered in Scotland is amazing!! I’ve only recently started learning more about her life & history. I hope to visit Scotland one day & Oxford, to see her Gospel book. Thank you for sharing!!

@SongCaster7 @BreeSolstad Wow! Thank you for sharing that, I’m excited to learn more. I can trace my family lineage back to Saint Margaret of Scotland, which makes the story of St Columba even more fascinating!!

[Shine @LilLight0fMine]

@SongCaster7 @BreeSolstad I haven’t heard of St Columba; thank you for sharing this!!

@CatholicFasting The layout on iOS is beautiful! Thanks for keeping it clean and simple. Excited to learn and grow more!

@DSDOConnor @DSDOConnor , what is your take on St. Padre Pio’s response, when questioned about aliens: “Do you think they don’t exist and that God’s omnipotence is limited to this small planet Earth? … On other planets other beings exist who did not sin and fall as we did.”

I love being Catholic.

We think in centuries and millennia. We build for eternity.

Construction of this amazing Basilica began under Pope Leo XIII in 1882.

It is complete under Pope Leo XIV in 2026.

@CLE_Lauren @KenKen69698 @c_h_e_m @KatelynTweeter I thought Mifepristone was detectable in blood for a little over a week? —Genuinely confused and asking as I had never truly considered how they could criminalize abortions caused by pills

[Catholic Fasting App @CatholicFasting]

Road to 300 followers.

If you’re Catholic, interested in fasting, building better habits, or just want to support an indie Catholic app developer, I’d love to have you here.

I follow back and genuinely enjoy connecting with other Catholics.

Help me get to 300 by the end of the week!
