A heartfelt “THANK YOU” to all the hard-working Catholic priests who make sacrifices for the sheep (and rarely receive gratitude).

"I've never had a shot before... I had four of them." 🤣

The legendary coach Barry Switzer experienced Rocco's Jell-O shots for the first time today before Oklahoma won the national championship.

@AnaBellMedia In the WCWS an attendant gets the ball and hand delivers it to the parents in the stands! It’s become an awesome tradition!

In a recent interview, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, former grand chancellor of the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and Family Life, confirmed the worst suspicions that many of us had.

He admitted that the changes he made at the Institute during the Pope Francis years were designed to initiate a "very profound" reform of the idea of the natural law.

Instead of absolute moral norms grounded in a keen understanding of the basic goods, he and his colleagues were proposing a moral theory rooted in historical discernment of subjective and cultural experience--not an "armchair theology" but one operating "within history and within people's lives."

This, of course, is the language of trendy postmodernism, and it is dangerous indeed.

Allow me to illustrate the principle with one example. Is slavery wrong?

Intrinsically wrong? Wrong no matter what public opinion polls say about it, no matter what the current consensus on it might be? I imagine any decent person would say yes.

But that yes is predicated upon precisely what the tradition calls the natural law and the basic goods. There are some values so fundamental that acts repugnant to them are by their very nature wicked.

If you want a highly articulate presentation of this idea, go to St. John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor.

If we say that this is just "armchair theologizing" and that morality is a function of ever-shifting cultural and experiential data, then why couldn't slavery be justified?

One of the very smartest persons that ever lived, the philosopher Aristotle, thought it was; extremely bright and morally upright persons in our country, well into the 19th century, thought it was permissible.

Who is to say whether the consensus might shift back again? Who is to say that "lived experience" might come to justify it?

What any truly coherent moral program requires is the very thing that Archbishop Paglia and his colleagues were endeavoring to eliminate, namely, absolute moral norms.

Ridding ourselves of these in the name of freedom or pastoral sensitivity actually renders moral discourse dysfunctional, just as relativizing the basic principle of logic would render any rational conversation impossible.

The Archbishop's interview, frankly, reminded me of the discussions I had at the Synod on Synodality with some of my German colleagues. Under the rubric of the development of doctrine, they were eager to relativize or radically change the principles undergirding classical morality. If this was and is truly the game, we have ventured onto perilous seas.

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

The best way to see the beauty around you is to see it through the eyes of someone who has never seen it.

Thank you to the World Cup Tourists for reminding us.

[Raymond Arroyo @RaymondArroyo]

The images and music of the Pope’s visit to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral tonight was breathtaking. More please.

[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

Thank you, European soccer fans, for reminding us of how great our country is.

With all the political bickering I’m afraid we too often take it for granted.

Your timing was impeccable, on this our 250th birthday, and we are forever in your debt for bringing the beer.

I encourage every American who hasn’t been to Europe to do so. I’ve been many times and it’s an amazing continent with amazing history and even more amazing people.

But make sure you post pics, as something tells me they may need to be reminded occasionally, too.

@themightygwinn @TreyWallace Why should Tech do that? None of this happened under Tech’s watch maybe the pitch and fork should be headed to Cincinnati since they knew and didn’t report until after he left program 🤔

[Kim Talley Rios @RiosKim]

@Luplonghorn For what? Cincinnati knew about this when he played there and said nothing. Tech had done nothing wrong.

[Catholic Answers @catholiccom]

You don't have to be Catholic to enter a Catholic Church.

If it's open, you can just walk right in and sit with Jesus.

Try it sometime.

[Everett Corder 🌵 @Evcorder]

I’m on record against Sorsby getting to play, but the moral posturing by everyone today is insane. Joe Mixon punched his GF on camera. Georgia players are in the news every week for some felony. Bama had a guy playing for them while he was part of a murder investigation.
