@Bederowlaw The CW is in a twist because of the presence of Father Bob, who of course has every right to be there. They are trying ( and failing) to offset the perceived benefit to Lindsay
@TheCarolErskine@defense_diaries@KristinaRex Likewise the testimony about what the children were like, or their little clothes, as if their lives were more valuable if they were cute. None of it has anything to do with guilt or innocence.
In 1999, several Avalanche players, including Claude Lemieux, plus GM Pierre Lacroix, lived in the Columbine High area and/or attended the nearby Catholic church. Columbine students were in the team's informal babysitter pool. In the wake of the 13 murders and others wounded on April 20, church parishioner Claude Lemieux asked the family of one hospitalized student if there was anything he could do. The family members, Lemieux's fellow parishioners, mused that, well, they hadn't been home much. Lemieux hired a cleaning service and sent it over to the family's home.
I suspect that Lemieux made other gestures, too, in the aftermath of the shootings, but that's the one I know about.
RIP, Pepe.
@LiturgyGuy I am sympathetic with the desire to use altar rails, but I would suggest that the parents are missing an opportunity to witness to their children the importance of obedience. There are ways to urge the bishop to relent, but defiance is not a good look.
@honorablesaint One’s culpability, whether for immodesty, irreverence, or being judgmental is best determined by God Himself. Everyone else should mind their own business
@honorablesaint This mass is special circumstance as the attendees are about to run a marathon. Just as you may see kids attend in soccer uniforms if their game is just before or after Mass. I think we should be reasonably modest but that is a personal choice and not the biddies’ business
“Please be careful not to use political categories to speak about faith, to speak about the Church. The Church doesn’t belong to any political party; rather, she helps form your conscience.”
Based Pope Leo! 😎
I renew my invitation for everyone to join me for the Prayer Vigil for Peace, which we will celebrate in St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, April 11, at 6:00 PM Rome time. #PrayTogether#Peace
@breeadail@RealCandaceO As a baptized Christian, she merely had to make a profession of faith to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. Yes, Confirmation would follow, and so she is now being confirmed.

Help Little Arthur Tetrault Continue His Fight for Recovery
Dear friends, citizens, companies, and foundations,
On October 8, 2024, our lives changed forever.
Our vibrant little boy Arthur Tetrault, just two years old, suffered a tragic drowning accident at our home in L’Île-Bizard, Quebec. Despite desperate efforts to revive him, Arthur’s brain was deprived of oxygen for a prolonged period. Doctors fought to bring him back, and after a very long resuscitation, Arthur miraculously survived.
But the real battle had only just begun.
Arthur suffered severe neurological injury and lost many abilities that most children develop naturally — including the ability to walk, speak, and interact with the world as he once did.
After weeks in the hospital, doctors warned us that his chances of recovery were extremely limited. As parents, we simply could not accept giving up on our son.
Determined to give Arthur every possible chance, we searched around the world for the best specialists in post-drowning brain injury.
Arthur was transferred to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he began specialized treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy under the care of internationally recognized specialists.
These treatments have already brought encouraging improvements. Arthur now breathes on his own and continues to show signs of progress.
Today, Arthur continues his treatments in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, where we are pursuing every possible therapy that could help him recover.
Unfortunately, this fight comes with enormous costs.
Our family is currently facing approximately $250,000 USD in unpaid medical bills, related to hospital care, specialized therapies, medical transportation, equipment, and long-term rehabilitation.
We are also trying to raise $200,000 USD to allow Arthur to receive an important experimental gene therapy, which will be performed by one of the leading American physicians specializing in gene-based neurological treatments.
As parents, we will never stop fighting for our son. But today we humbly acknowledge that we cannot carry this financial burden alone.
We are therefore asking for help from anyone who may wish to support Arthur’s journey.

@FatherAltman Really picking up on the Christian charity vibe. You dish plenty of anti-Catholicism yourself but you think it doesn’t count if people aren’t as pure as you.
Here is an easy way to do something cool for a man facing mortal peril. Let's get him to a million subs.
If you are not yet subbed to Nate The Lawyer, this is an easy way to do something good and humane.
If you are subbed up, please share this post.
In Canada, we're told that late-term abortions don't happen and, if they do, it's only for serious medical conditions.
RightNow went undercover to four abortion clinics to see if this was true.
Here's what happened in Toronto:
@CarmeliteAnna Both are beautiful but I adore the details on the black onyx rosary. The gold spacers and intricate Our Father beads make this exquisite. And the larger beads suit my arthritic hands. Love your work!
