@JudgeJudgyJudge @JeremyTate41 read O'Connor or you risk missing all the nuance in her work.

[NOPE @NOPE2046]

@JudgeJudgyJudge @JeremyTate41 Buy 'The Complete Stories', and then read the following, A Good Man Is Hard To Find, The Life You Save May Be Your Own, The River, Good Country People and Revelation. And then buy her book, Wise Blood. It too is excellent. You need to have your catholic theological lens on to...

A coalition of religious sisters in New York State won a major victory in federal court this week when the state agreed to not force the nuns to participate in an assisted suicide program.

Friends, in our spiritually hungry times, the Gothic cathedrals do what they’ve always done: teach the faith and focus the journey of the spirit.

In the new film “Heaven in Stone and Glass,” I will take you around the great cathedrals of France, letting their mysteries emerge.

The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of August is to pray for the evangelisation and the spread of the Gospel in cities and urban areas.

“We know that cities are called to be places of freedom and opportunity, but they can also become spaces of anonymity and isolation.

That's why today, we ask you, for a renewed gaze, able to discover, in urban life, fertile ground for proclaiming your Gospel.

Give us a creative and deep faith that doesn't remain in words, but becomes flesh through simple and loving gestures.

Make us a Church that goes forth, able to reach out to the peripheries, to console those who are lonely, and to sow fraternity and connection instead of giving in to indifference.”

[Fr. David Paternostro, SJ @DavidPaternostr]

On July 31st, 1556, St. Ignatius was moved from his bedroom to his private chapel by his brother Jesuits so that he could die in the presence of Jesus in the Tabernacle

470 years ago today, St. Ignatius died in the presence of the Eucharist

@dieworkwear The church has rightly warned people across the last 2000 years about how wealth and power can corrupt a person. That being said, there are examples of Kings like Louis IX, who lived an exemplary life, and he is now a canonised saint.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

I just watched @BishopBarron's first Thomas Aquinas lecture for @petersonacademy.

He's one of the best lecturers I've ever heard.

He's engaging and coherent, well-armed with stories, an effective synthesizer, and able to shift up and down levels of analysis with ease ("here's the social impact; here's the theological significance; here's the historical context, etc.).

I've interviewed him, and we have spent time together, and that was all exceedingly worthwhile. But a full lecture requires a different skill set, and not many people have it.

He captured my attention, despite my current difficulty with pain. And I learned a lot.

He's also eminently likeable.

It's a privilege to have the Bishop's lectures on Peterson Academy.

If you truly believe your life is beyond saving, then you have nothing left to lose by trying to save someone else’s, If your destiny is beyond repair, do not have destruction as your last act, when mercy can be your last gamble.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Firmly rooted in the Word of Jesus, reading the Gospel every day, never stop dreaming of a land where there is peace and fraternity, nor stop looking at the world with wonder, nor stop facing the future with the light of hope. Do not let anything or anyone steal your hope.

Doomscrolling is gambling for revelation, pulling the lever of an infinite slot machine, persuaded that after a billion worthless posts, the next one will finally justify all the others.

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

G.K. Chesterton once said: “Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things.”

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

"When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness."

~Fyodor Dostoevsky

[Mark W. @DurhamWASP]

“A crude culture makes a coarse people, and private refinement cannot long survive public excess. There is a Gresham's law of culture as well as of money: the bad drives out the good, unless the good is defended.”

This is a sable. Most people never see one because they live in the remote forests of northern Asia. Many sables are bred on fur farms or trapped for their fur, where farmed animals spend their lives in cages before being killed... 😔
