Thomas Aquinas says very clearly that anger in itself is not a sin; it might even be praiseworthy. The question is whether your anger is justified and useful anger, or whether it's unreasonable and useless anger.
Also, the failure to get angry when anger is justified is a sin, and worse it causes others to sin: "Unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices; it fosters negligence and incites not only the wicked but even the good to do wrong."
"Abortion is the Antichrist's demonic parody of the Eucharist. That is why it uses the same holy words, 'This is my body,' with the blasphemously opposite meaning."

A WNBA task force of team presidents and general managers met Wednesday and discussed transgender athletes but did not arrive at any eligibility rules, according to a statement sent to ESPN by a league spokesperson.

If Catholics “added 7 books,” explain the 1820s Bible Controversy? 🤔
Why did people complain their Bibles were missing books?😂
Why did Protestant Bible societies fight over whether to stop print 73 Books?💧
I wish to express my closeness to the Colombian sisters and brothers who have suffered the effects of the recent earthquake, which caused numerous deaths and injuries, as well as extensive material damage. As I pray to the Lord for the eternal repose of the deceased, I assure you of my prayers for their families and for all those affected by this tragedy. I express my gratitude to all those working in rescue and assistance efforts for those affected.
They also had to EAT the lamb that had been slain. The blood saved them from death, but the Passover wasn’t complete simply because the lamb died. God commanded: “They shall eat the flesh that night” (Ex. 12:8).
Christ is our Passover Lamb (1 Cor. 5:7).
“Take, eat; this is my body.” (Matt. 26:26)
“Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.” (John 6:53-55)
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Copa América will return to its traditional schedule, with the tournament being held once every four years.
From 2015 to 2024, however, there were five editions in just nine years.
God could have snapped His fingers and forgiven humanity. No blood required. So why the Passion? Aquinas answers this in Summa Theologiae III, question 46, and the answer dismantles two caricatures at once.
The first caricature comes from modern critics. They paint the Atonement as a cosmic hostage situation where an angry Father demands blood to cool His rage.
The second comes from well-meaning Christians who reduce the Cross to a strict legal necessity. As if God's hands were tied by some external rule.
Aquinas cuts through both.
God was not obligated to redeem us through suffering. He chose it. And He chose it because it was the most fitting way to restore a broken order.
The Cross achieves two things simultaneously that no other means could.
First, it satisfies justice. Human nature had rebelled. Christ, as the Head of humanity, offers a perfect act of obedience that repairs what our disobedience fractured.
Second, it operates as medicine. The Passion doesn't just wipe a legal slate. It heals the actual wound in our nature by providing a remedy for pride through Christ's profound humility.
This is why Aquinas frames the Atonement not as a transaction between an angry God and an innocent victim, but as an act of supreme charity flowing from the Hypostatic Union. The divine and human natures united in one Person making a meritorious offering on our behalf.
The Cross was not the minimum God could do. It was the most.
If the Atonement is medicine rather than a mere legal transaction, how does that change how we understand suffering in our own lives?
The most harrowing aspect of feminism is that it turned women, the bearers of life, into child murderers-- the maternal instinct was snuffed out and replaced with a callousness that argues for the right to kill her own child.
This is Satanic.
“No one is aborting babies at 9 months”
-The Democrats
Massachusetts: “YASSSS WE MADE IT LEGAL TO ABORT BABIES AT 9 MONTHS! WE LOVE THIS JOURNEY FOR US!!!”
This is what late-term abortion looks like.
A fully developed child is stabbed in the heart and poisoned to death.
It’s not “healthcare”
It’s not “empowering”
It’s murder.
A massive vindication for every parent who has endured coercive, horrific medical treatment for refusing to give their babies the Hep B shot, among many others. The child vaccine schedule had become an insane $ making machine. Today the recommendation shifts from 72 to 11 shots.
Within the lifetime of our grandparents, the nurturing sex has become the more murderous and violent of the two sexes.
Enabled and empowered by countless cowardly and abusive men, no doubt.
But the more murderous and violent now, nonetheless.
