@Catholicizm1 Why are you ruining Twitter? (Good on you.)

[Matthew Nichol @MatthewNichol5]

Remember, former Major League pitcher Anthony Bass? Bass who never pitched a game in the majors again after he endorsed boycotts of Target, Bud Light, and other corporations because of his Christianity in 2023. The Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said his views do not reflect the organization and released Bass. He should have never apologized to the woke mob.

@Catholicizm1 That many people together all at once ... no trouble at all ... right? There were huge crowds when the Raptors won a few years ago ... I got caught up in the chaos of some "random" gun violence while trying to catch a train. Brutal.

“The main, the fiercest, and the most powerful enemy of the Church is the Freemasons.

That the current flood of Protestant sects is actually the vanguard of Freemasonry is expressly acknowledged by the Masonic magazine ‘Wolna Mysl.’ They state:

‘While we reserve the right to a fully independent assessment of the internal validity of the doctrine of the national church, we can still support its struggle, as well as that of any other Protestant sect, against the supremacy of the Roman Church’…

Their goal is to ‘grant ample freedom to each, according to their own ideas and imagination, in judging the religion they profess. And after instilling indifference toward religion—which thing could not possibly be more sinister—they aim to desecrate and insult the passion of Jesus Christ with unworthy rites, to despise the Sacraments of the Church and even the mysteries of the Catholic faith, and to beat down this holy Apostolic See [Rome], against which they harbor special hatred and which they all conspire to lay to ruin by cunning, for it always retains the primacy of the apostolic chair.

The principles of their morality are wicked. They promote the pleasures of the senses, allow anyone who has failed to keep their secret to be killed, teach people that it is lawful to provoke rebellion to dethrone kings and all the rulers, who with great contempt they brazenly call tyrants…

What are these basic points [of their agenda]? Here they are: the total annihilation of the supernatural world. It is clear that at this point one can no longer speak of religion or morality.

Their great efforts to achieve that goal are clear at every step. Art, literature and magazines, theaters, cinemas, youth education, and legislation are briskly moving toward the abolition of the supernatural world and the gratification of the pleasures of the flesh…

How can we possibly counter this plague, this army of the Antichrist? The Immaculata, Mediatrix of all graces, can and wants to help us. To what purpose, otherwise, the apparitions in Lourdes, the revelation of the Miraculous Medal, by which many a person has already been converted?

A soul that is imbued with love for her will certainly oppose the work of depravity, the main weapon in the hands of Freemasonry. ‘We will not vanquish the Church by argument,’ the Freemasons declared in one of their meetings, ‘but by corrupting morals.’”

This is one of the best newspaper front pages I've ever seen.

Well done, @californiapost 👏

@jamiljivani An obvious no. How is this even a question?

@Sachinettiyil Too much. Stop.

Dear professional baseball players,
ANY player in ANY professional LEAGUE who is FINED by their league for refusing to be FORCED to participate in WOKE LEFTIST AGENDAS, who refuses to wear ridiculous uniforms (or cleats), @TPUSA and I will PAY any and ALL of your Fines!
You signed a contract to play baseball, you didn’t sign a contract to go against your deeply held Christian religious beliefs.
Baseball is our National Pastime, not Drag queen story hour.

Sincerely yours,
Rob Schneider and Turning Point USA!

I think this might be the best encyclical I’ve read so far. Really difficult to avoid depression when you see the modern church and world falling into the exact errors Pope Leo XIII warned about. Love in 30 min

@elie_mcn Why is this gross? It doesn't matter. If Canada is a post-nation nation, so be it.

@CatholicRob "The Pope Who Heard Satan" ... that's a great headline. 100% great.

[TheMarketingTrad @MarketingTrad]

@CatholicRob Congrats, God bless, and keep up the good work.

[Daniel O'Connor @DSDOConnor]

Amazing. Wall Street Journal (!) opinion piece lambasts Pope Leo as “frustrating,” “overconfident,” lacking “humility,” making “assumptions” because the Pope teaches AI is & always will be merely dead, soulless matter, possessing no real intelligence, no experiences, no feeling, no relationships, no judgment, no grasp of meaning, etc.

The author claims his own research argues for AI being (or soon being) conscious, and he says that in the future, the Catholic Church is going to have to “apologize” for not acknowledging AI as conscious.

These are the same exact condemnations that have been hurled at me for many years for saying the same thing as Leo.

So, I’ll repeat another warning I’ve issued many times: Soon, accepting the most outrageous diabolical sci-fi deceptions (particularly sentient AI/AGI and ETs) is going to be mandatory, and contradicting this “official narrative” on these points will be forbidden.

We’re already seeing the rumblings of that persecution with the pushback from Big Tech psychos (like the author of this article) against Pope Leo, and with the firing of Monsignor Rossetti by Cardinal McElroy because he linked ETs/UFOs to the diabolical.

But it will get far worse soon. So, settle it in your mind now that Only Man Bears the Divine Image. And commit to never waiver from that absolute truth even when rejecting it becomes mandatory.

Remember the lessons of 2020. That was only a practice run.

Pope Leo XIV went into the most left wing parliament in Europe and to their faces:

• Praised the history and heritage of Spain
• Unapologetically defended the right to life of the unborn and elderly
• Praised Catholic education
• Criticised 'traffickers and smugglers' who profit from migration
• Called for 'historical memory' that 'seeks truth and reconciliation' in dig at leftist division
• WARNED them against banning confession

Pope Leo XIV venerated the Holy Cross of Lepanto in Barcelona

This was at the front of the fleet when Catholics prevented Muslims from conquering Europe at the Battle of Lepanto

Tradition has it the crucifix is positioned to the side after miraculously dodging a cannonball

British working-class people in London protesting against mass-immigration in 1968 just days after Enoch Powell was sacked from his position as Shadow Defence Secretary for giving the famous “Rivers of Blood speech.”

In it, he warned of violence stemming from mass-immigration.
