@BishopBarron We must recognize Marxist thinkers among our political class and openly call them out as antithetical to Christianity and to western democracy. Thank you Bishop!

Throughout Latin America, #Iran seeks political support through shared and profound anti-U.S. ideologies and fellow travelers. Iran has also established a network of cultural centers, mosques and Islamic institutions across Latin America

@ohiotate 100% true

@Dave90233378 @karnsies817 Correct…many ( most) turned on the guy who led us out of abject misery and to a playoff win over the Steelers. Played hurt, which we used to admire. Sickening

[Bob Lees @TCPrincipal]

@BrownsNationcom Gee I wonder? Should we have essentially cut a pro bowl who has the second most TD passes over the last 3 years and led his team to the playoffs the past two? Tough question.

“We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.”

@xMikeMac This was a great post:

Good morning.

The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.

The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.

The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.

That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.

So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.

Love y’all.
