Learn willingly what you do not know from everyone. The person who has sought to learn something from everyone will be wiser than them all.

Ethiopia: The regime has reportedly carried out a drone strike on a Christian monastery.

Two nuns and six priests were killed in the daylight attack on the Arsema Monastery in Wollo, which was holding a church service.

Many more Christians are injured.

We fully condemn this attack.

These Christians need immediate aid and prayer.

Under oath, Planned Parenthood's baby organ harvesting partner (ABR) states: "We do a dissection" of babies, harvesting organs even while they have beating hearts

"I can see hearts that are not in an intact [baby] that are beating independently”

Defund & prosecute Planned Parenthood!

I found this bit today between @RealMattFradd and Peter Kreeft profoundly moving (Kreeft’s wife of 60+ years recently died).

It’s no wonder marriage is a type of Christ and His Church. If we love His Catholic Church only if Her body is beautiful, we are not truly loving Her.

Fr. Ripperger: “Demons have a principle: ‘Anything but God. ANYTHING but God.’ If they can get you totally hung up about some particular issue [state of the world, the Church, etc.] & get you focused on that, they know they’ve got you derailed because you’re NOT focusing on God.”

@claudeai whats going on?

[Ted ☦️🐒 @Tawadros15]

It is done. The SSPX is now officially a schismatic Sedevacantist group. All their faculties are suspended by Latae Sententiae excommunication and going to them for Sacraments is now a schismatic act. This is a terribly sad day. If you attend SSPX chapels please stop.

Thomas footnote: T. Aquinas, Summa Theologica:

[F]oreigners “were not at once admitted to citizenship” because “if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people.”

Why does no one care?

In Africa, black Christian kids as young as 4 years old are being sold inside bags as slaves by Muslim slave traders.

The media, progressives, Palestinian protesters, the UN, and even the Pope remain silent.

Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?
