@BishopBarron The Church of England is broken

We want our church back

I pray that God can bring the Church back to Christ

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Word has just come down that St. Paul’s Cathedral in London—the second most important church in the Anglican world—has imitated Canterbury Cathedral in permitting “raves,” nightclub-like entertainments, to take place in its confines.

The usual reasons for acquiescing to this have been trotted out: reaching out to the young, trying to get with the times, etc. But this development simply shows that the leadership of the Church of England has lost any sense of the crucial distinction between the sacred and the secular.

Across the centuries and across the cultures, our ancestors seem to have intuitively grasped the importance of this demarcation. Whereas the secular is the arena of ordinary experience and activity, the sacred is another realm, a different dimension.

Accordingly, in the properly sacred space, one is lifted out of the conventional and introduced into the numinous. This is why Christian cathedrals are filled with images of the saints and angels and why their interiors are meant first to disorient us and then to reorient us toward the divine.

It is also why, in the initiation rituals of primal peoples, a young person is purposely ripped out of the ordinary and introduced into the mythic and mystic dimension. And it is why, throughout the Bible, sacred spaces are carefully set apart from common spaces.

The contemporary West is, quite literally, the first culture in human history that is in danger of collapsing the sacred into the secular, or better, losing any sense of the difference between the two.

This is doing enormous damage, especially to young people, whose lives have been flattened into a preoccupation with money, worldly success, and material things.

The Church indeed should go out into the secular space to find those who have wandered away from God, but it should then lead those wanderers back to the holy.

Having “raves” in the nave of one of the most sacred spaces in the Christian world is, I’m sad to say, another sign of our pitiful surrender to ideological secularism.

🚨 BREAKING: POLAND 🇵🇱

Thousands of Christian Poles show us that Europe WAS, IS, and WILL BE Christian.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE GREATEST 🙌🏾

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Christians are being massacred, and their women kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted to Islam daily in Nigeria.

This past year, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Palestinians in Gaza.

And still, not a single protest for them!

I’ve spent years warning about the influence foreign money can buy in the West.

Qatar’s $6.6 billion investment in American universities demands sunlight. Every dollar, every agreement, every condition — make it public.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

I asked AI the following:
“Which countries have a death penalty on the books for a person who leaves Islam and publicly becomes a Christian who preaches the gospel and criticizes Islam? Make a simple list.”

Here was the response:

“Countries where the death penalty is on the books for leaving Islam (apostasy). Publicly converting to Christianity, preaching, and criticizing Islam would fall under apostasy and usually also blasphemy/proselytism:
• Afghanistan
• Brunei
• Iran
• Maldives
• Mauritania
• Qatar
• Saudi Arabia
• Somalia
• United Arab Emirates
• Yemen

Notes:
Malaysia (Kelantan and Terengganu state Sharia codes prescribe death, but federal law blocks carrying it out). Some northern Nigerian states have Sharia codes that include it, but this conflicts with the federal constitution. Pakistan’s death penalty applies via blasphemy laws rather than a standalone apostasy statute; preaching and criticizing Islam can trigger those charges. Sudan repealed its apostasy death penalty in 2020.
Actual state executions solely for conversion remain rare in most of these countries; extra-judicial killings and imprisonment are more common.”

@RobSchneider Sir… we were told long before that as well

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

Have we forgotten so quickly?!
Is there only fear of Islam left in America?
We were told, “NEVER FORGET!”
But our ‘Leaders’ have forgotten and have taken the easier (political) way of non-conflict… and taken their (American spilled) blood money. 2,977 Americans

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

In Christianity there’s a doctrine that if someone leaves the faith and publicly speaks out against it we are supposed to KILL them.

No… wait…. *checks notes

That’s Islam. My bad.

Now this is a BLM I can get behind.

[Oli London @OliLondonTV]

This is how Afghan women are forced to live.

Zero outrage from Western feminists.

Zero outrage from Jane Fonda.

Zero outrage from Greta Thunberg.

Zero outrage from Mark Ruffalo.

Yep!!

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

A small number of Christians getting involved in local politics can make a very big difference in the community.

It's important that they are wise and not just ideological but we need more Christians running for local offices.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?

That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?

That men don’t belong in women’s sport?

That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?

That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?

That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?

That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?

That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?

That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?

Let me have your thoughts.

[Dr. Sydney Watson @SydneyLWatson]

This is what is advancing every time Islam takes another step forward in the West.

Women are some of the biggest proponents of this piece of shit ideology and I cannot understand why.

Islam is a desert death cult. It always was and will always be.

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

It’s a WAR.
Islam is NOT a RELIGION.
It is a VIOLENT IDEOLOGY that uses OUR FREE society to IMMIGRATE, OVER POPULATE then INFILTRATE our INSTITUTIONS and then through VIOLENCE and INTIMIDATION build POWER then ENSLAVE the native people. They have been doing it FOR 1,400 years👇

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

We need this in America.
