@finn_bjornsson AI. AI will win. It’s impressive how good it’s gotten at creating realistic images but it’s also clear that’ll these posts are faker than fake.

@Avabelly__ $40 tip on a $500 check isn’t enough. Standard tip is at least 15-20%

@KhanSaba1278 This felt like a parody post that was going to end on a warm note but it didn’t . What a weird post . I’m trying to assume it’s not just the ramblings of a miserable person.

@itsstillkieran Aren’t there recycling programs that would take them from you?

Pope Leo XIV: “It is, therefore, not enough to state simply that men and women have equal dignity and rights; it is necessary that this be reflected in concrete decisions, such as in laws, access to employment, education, social and political responsibilities, and the way society listens to and values women’s contributions. As long as this gap persists, we cannot say that society truly and fully recognizes that women have the same dignity as men.”

[Courtney Mares @catholicourtney]

In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV quotes J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

@hemantmehta I agree with him on Israel, but even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day.

Breaking: Muslim terrorists just stormed a Christian village in Nigeria and unleashed pure demonic savagery on innocent families who couldn’t run fast enough to escape.

They captured pregnant women and hacked their bellies open with machetes — forcing the young women to witness their own unborn babies die right in front of them as they succumbed to fatal stab wounds.

All because they were Christians who refused to convert to Islam.

No one in the international community, UN, EU, ICC, or ICJ seems to care. Not even Christian leaders in the West.

Please pray for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria.

@pastormarkburns If you have to begin your justification with a disclaimer then you’ve already lost the argument. You know Moses would grind that statue to dust and make you drink water infused with it as part of your repentance.

43 years ago today, Fraggle Rock debuted.

The theme song will always be a banger.

@Chris_SmithsJ @AUTHENTICITYVIC @smmascia @BishStrickland Thank you for saving me the Google search. There is lots of good stuff in the image—just not stuff that St. Teresa said.

“The homily is not being ‘political’ when it points out political, social, and economic sins. It is simply the word of God becoming incarnate in our reality, which often reflects not God's reign but sin.”

@SimchaFisher A quick minute to get situated is plenty. Then again sometimes the first penitent walks in at the same time I do which is fine.

@Chris_SmithsJ @OrthodoxOrigen The debate is split between those who claim it's medicinal and therefore doesn't break the fast and those who disagree.

@DavidPaternostr In the midst of this craziness it’s worth remembering that David Bawden, the first self-styled Pope Michael reconciled with the church and came back to full communion in the end. May this man do likewise.

Happy 100th birthday to Ruth Burrows (Sr Rachel of the Quidenham Carmel). Thanks be to God for her life and her life-changing writings.

@Citygal3401991 @DaydreamingCat1 @FrHilderbrand A funeral Mass is a public Mass. It's open to all. Praying for the dead is one of the spiritual works of mercy. So, I'd say it's a good thing for parishioners to attend funeral Masses. On the flipside, I'm not a fan of regularly bumping the daily Mass for a funeral Mass.
