“Suffering for God’s sake & that of other people can be the highest form of allowing God to be present, & placing oneself at the service of life.” -Fr. Joseph Ratzinger
@LeadingReport Yes Texas is horrible to live. Don’t move here. It’s hell on earth. Too many racist and everyone has a gun. Absolutely believe this article and stay in California and New York. You wont regret it!
BXVI taught that the concept of Satan was not developed in Genesis and that the image of the serpent was related to the ancient fertility cults which plagued Israel throughout history.
Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano publishes an article claiming Genesis does not contain a devil and original sin, arguing that tradition exegesis "is reduced to sex."
This is an ATTACK on traditional Church teaching.

Remember: the Somalian who was born to illegal immigrant parents 23 years ago has a "birthright" to be in this country. But you are an invader who has no right to be here, even though your family has been in this country for 200 years. This is what the Left actually believes.
My Dear, I respect your right to your beliefs, and I ask that you respect mine as well.
I'm Jewish, and I do not share your religious views. Quoting Christian scripture at me in an attempt to convert me is neither welcome nor appropriate. Please refrain from sending me proselytizing messages in the future. If you do continue, I will consider that harassment and will report and block you so you can join your "friend" in making up stories why you were blocked by me.
Wishing you well.
These lunatics had their chance, but there is a new sheriff in town.
Pope Leo XIV on natural law: “Natural law, which is universally valid apart from and above other more debatable beliefs, constitutes the compass by which to take our bearings in legislating and acting, particularly on the delicate and pressing ethical issues that, today more than in the past, regard personal life and privacy.”
From @TheAthletic: On Pride Night, which was supposed to be dedicated to support and belonging, several San Francisco Giants players chose a different focus, writing Bible verses on their caps. https://t.co/qG1G1YKk4J
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
JESSIE WATTERS: watch 👇👇👇: The four crashed UFOs recovered by the U.S. contained beings of the Gray, Nordic, insectoid, and reptilian types.
While other alien species exist, it appears that only these four races will be disclosed to the public at this time.
@jihadwatchRS The Pope always encourages dialogue and peace with other religious groups, as Christians should (Rom. 12:18). This doesn’t then mean a head of state should travel without security. This is a false equivalency.
