[Wildcat In Exile @WildcatInExile]

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. ✝️

@ChrisMurphyCT @grok By definition, is the ad that Trump put out a campaign ad?

[Wildcat In Exile @WildcatInExile]

@CaptainCons We don’t mock other Americans to other countries except when it’s Donald Trump, right? Your argument in your fake outrage rings hollow.

Daily Readings | Sept. 25, 2026 Friday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Qoheleth lays out the rhythm that governs every human life: "There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every thing under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant." The list keeps unfolding through every extreme a life can hold: "A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." He continues through the quieter tensions too — "A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."

Then in the Gospel, Jesus turns the question toward the one thing that actually settles every one of those seasons: after asking who the crowds say He is, He asks the Twelve directly, and Peter answers, "The Christ of God." Jesus then tells them plainly that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, be killed, and rise on the third day.

Qoheleth's litany can read as exhausting when it stands alone — birth and death, war and peace, cycling on with no anchor named. But Luke supplies the anchor Ecclesiastes never gets to: every one of those appointed times finds its meaning only in relation to Christ, who Himself passed through a time to be rejected, a time to suffer, a time to die, and a time to rise. Peter's confession is not one answer among many options Herod's court was debating yesterday — it is the answer that turns a wheel of seasons into a road that leads somewhere. Without Christ named at the center, every time under heaven simply repeats; with Him named, even suffering and death become the appointed hour before glory.

'Catholics take Scripture out of context' isn't an argument until you explain who 'them' is in John 20:19. The text already answered that. If following the plain reading of Matt 16:19, 18:18, and John 20:23 together leads to the Catholic Church, that's not a problem with the reading — it's the point.

[Wildcat In Exile @WildcatInExile]

John 20:19 tells you who 'them' is — the apostles gathered behind locked doors, not every believer everywhere. Jesus already distinguished offices from gifts (Matt 16:19 vs Matt 18:18). Apostolic authority to forgive sins was handed down through ordination (2 Tim 1:6), not claimed by everyone with the Spirit. Read the whole chapter.

@UtahCFBstats I’d rather be in Ames than any of these places. The West Coast is hot garbage.

@myzccc You misspelled ‘ex-President’.

[Fox News Politics @foxnewspolitics]

FIRST ON FOX: Bishop Robert Barron is warning that communism is "making a comeback" in America — and he's calling on Catholic leaders to raise their voices against it, just as Archbishop Fulton Sheen did decades ago.

Barron delivered the message in an exclusive video obtained by Fox News Digital, filmed in front of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis ahead of Sheen's beatification on Thursday. Thousands are expected to gather at The Dome at America's Center, where Sheen will officially receive the title of "Blessed" — a major step toward sainthood.

Barron hailed Sheen as "one of the great voices against communism in mid-20th century America" and urged churchmen to "speak out strongly on both American and Catholic principles against the re-emergence of this still very dangerous ideology."

@RonFilipkowski Did you ever consider that our closest allies have been crap to us for years? When we stand up for ourselves, then they start complaining. Get out of here.

Daily Readings | Sept. 24, 2026 Thursday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Qoheleth opens with the verdict that will echo through the whole book: "Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!" He presses the question that undercuts every human ambition: "What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun?" Then comes the relentless cycle that proves his point: "One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays. The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises." Even the rivers keep moving without ever arriving anywhere new: "All rivers go to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they go, the rivers keep on going."

Then in the Gospel, a ruler collides with a mystery he cannot solve by power alone: Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, "John has been raised from the dead"; others were saying, "Elijah has appeared"; still others, "One of the ancient prophets has arisen." But Herod said, "John I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things?" And he kept trying to see him.

Herod had everything Qoheleth describes — a throne, soldiers, banquets, the power to behead a prophet with a word — and none of it answered the one question that actually mattered. He kept trying to see Jesus, but curiosity is not conversion; a man can circle the truth for years without ever kneeling before it. That is the trap Ecclesiastes exposes and Herod illustrates: chasing the sun's rising and setting, gathering titles and pleasures that never fill the sea, while the only Person who could give the labor meaning stands one town away, unrecognized. Vanity is not defeated by discovering more of the world — it is defeated by finally seeing Christ, not as a curiosity, but as Lord.

@RonFilipkowski Wanting to put our best foot forward for a state visit is somehow bad? Not a fan of the Chinese by any means, but come on. How is THIS a scandal?
