In Rome, on the road that leads to St. Peter's, there is a marble statue of St. Catherine of Siena. From most angles, she is simply walking. From one viewpoint, her lips meet the dome of the basilica behind her.

The illusion is the completion of a story Catherine spent her life trying to finish, and never lived to see...

She was born in Siena in 1347, the year the Black Death first arrived in Europe. She had her first mystical vision at the age of six. By her early thirties she had become one of the most influential women in medieval Christendom, exchanging letters with popes, princes, and warring city-states. She wrote, or dictated, an enormous spiritual treatise called the Dialogue, and a body of nearly four hundred letters that remain a landmark of Italian literature.

Her great political mission was the return of the papacy to Rome. The popes had been living in Avignon, in southern France, for nearly seventy years. Catherine believed this was a wound at the heart of the Church. She wrote relentlessly to Pope Gregory XI, urging him to come home. In 1376 she travelled to Avignon herself to persuade him in person. In 1377, against the advice of nearly every cardinal around him, he returned to Rome.

Catherine died three years later. She was thirty-three years old.

The dome that stands above St. Peter's today did not yet exist. The basilica she knew was the old Constantinian church begun in the fourth century. Michelangelo would not be born for another seventy-five years. The dome he designed was not finished until 1590, more than two centuries after her death.

In 1961, the Sicilian sculptor Francesco Messina was commissioned to make a monument to her, near the road that leads to St. Peter's. He carved her in white marble, bent slightly forward, her cloak streaming behind her as if she were still walking toward Rome. He placed her in a position where, from one angle, her lips appear to touch a dome she never lived to see...

When butter was demonised, Unilever sold margarine.

When tallow was demonised, Procter and Gamble sold Crisco.

When eggs were demonised, Kellogg's sold cereal.

When red meat was demonised, Cargill sold soy.

When raw milk was demonised, Nestle sold infant formula.

When leather was demonised, BASF sold PVC.

When wool was demonised, ExxonMobil sold polyester feedstock.

When animal fat was demonised, the seed-oil industry grew from a niche product to the most consumed food ingredient on earth.

Every demonisation of an animal product made a specific group of shareholders very rich.

Every one of those products had been eaten by humans for thousands of years without incident.

The science changed the moment a substitute existed to sell.

Follow the money. The advice will start to make a lot more sense.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

The mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests!
I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system!

@WHLeavitt Bring back the crusades

Muslim attackers chant Allahu Akbar while slaughtering Christians in Sudan.

Mainstream media refuses to report Muslim-on-Christian violence or black-on-white crimes because of woke ideology.

Should we defend Christians in the world?

A. Yes
B. No

A Swedish teen raped for hours by a group of Muslim immigrants.

Gun shoved in her mouth & her v€gina. Vagina torn apart, the doctors said they had never seen anything like it. Clothes soaked in blood shown below.

One of the rapists given 200 hours of community service, others never caught because of "no-go zones" - signifying the gradual takeover over Sweden.

Thoughts ?

@GadSaad As a norwegian Those parasites don't want to assimilate, they're just here for the financial benefits. They don't work but still have over an average annual income, + they get more financial aid the more kids they got, and there's hardly any wait time for them.

@AnfieldSector This "transition" hasn't improved whatsoever this entire season

[C3 @C_3C_3]

This is the Left.

Violent.
Radical.
Unhinged.

A man pushing a defenseless woman.

No consequences for so long has given them a sense of security and made them more feral.

It must change.

@DX_Alphafg The answer is obviously yes. If you move away from the shitty muslim country you live in, leave all of it behind, don't bring it with you. You dislike ir hate almost everything there is about the west

@AntiWokeMemes The trans people have severe mental disorder. In South America and Asia,Thailand especially, they know they're gay and like to dress up like women, and call themselves ladyboys.....in the west, with the help of virtue signaling lefties, they "believe" they magically become women
