Maura Healey represents some of the worst tendencies of contemporary Catholicism.
She's of Irish lineage, raised in New England, attended elite educational institutions, claims to be Catholic despite her sodomitical union to another woman. When the Bishop of Worcester ordered a Jesuit middle school to stop flying Black Lives Matter and Pride flags, she criticized him, saying that "inclusion" is at the heart of Catholic teaching. In 2024, she traveled to Rome to speak at a Vatican climate summit hosted by the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences, and personally met with Pope Francis.
The "Catholicism" of Maura Healey is precisely the "beige Catholicism" that @BishopBarron criticizes. These are baptized and confirmed Catholics who reduce Catholic doctrine to "just be a good person", despite not even being able to do that (good persons don't typically massacre the unborn). Maura Healey's Catholicism takes the "welcome the migrant" and "protect the climate" parts seriously, while simply rejecting the "don't murder the unborn", "don't euthanize the elderly", "don't trans your kids" parts of it.
My problem isn't necessarily with her. Of course, she is extremely wrong and on the path to perdition. But Healey is a byproduct of DECADES of decadent malformation, poor preaching, and shoddy witness to the Catholic faith by a number of prelates and priests who are too scared to become martyrs for the sake of the Gospel of Life. Healey's views are heinous, but in any other century, she would be univocally condemned, shamed, exiled, and excommunicated.
This is why I believe there is a crisis in the Church. Some of the most prominent voices in Catholicism are all too eager to endorse Healey's anemic version of Catholicism. Sure, they will view the abortion stuff as bad, but figure that she makes up for it in other areas (typically the areas progressives like to champion; climate, immigration, DEI, etc.)
The best thing the bishops of Massachusetts could do, save from a formal excommunication of the governor, is to call for a week of prayer, fasting, and abstinence for the crimes against humanity committed by their so-called "Catholic" governor.
When The Founding Fathers wrote the freedom of religion into the 1st Amendment, they had in mind that Christians would be free to practice Christianity without fear of persecution.
They didn’t mean it to be used to import Muslims, have them run for office and try to enact Sharia Law.
We’ve gotten way off track y’all.
I once again stand to state that it was an absolute crime against our nation when, in the 1990s, there was a wholesale abandonment of New England by our military, especially the US Navy and USAF…taking away bases right on the great circle to Europe.
We can, and should, claw some back. The accountants be damned.

All we needed was a new president!
Surge AI has reportedly courted Chinese AI labs, AfterQuery reportedly earns tens of millions of dollars from Chinese AI companies, Turing worked with ByteDance and Mercor, who wants U.S. government contracts works with Tencent and Alibaba.
The U.S. blocked China from buying our most advanced AI chips, but these American companies reportedly helped Chinese firms access the data, talent, and training pipeline needed to build competing models anyway.
Congress should ask a simple question: whose side are you on?
Are you sitting down?
The lifetime taxpayer cost for an illegal is at least $200,000.
The taxpayer cost to deport an illegal is at least $12,000.
American taxpayers lose either way.
But every deportation is a massive savings long term.
They all have to go.
No exceptions.
Admiral James Lyons:
“I reject the term ‘radical Islam.’ Islam is Islam. There are no moderates, and we all know it!
Islam is a totalitarian ideology bent on world domination masquerading as a religion!”
He’s 100% correct.
Dearborn has fallen to rock bottom.
America’s first Arab-majority city. Police force now 45% Arab. Streets renamed. Call to prayer five times a day. “Death to America” at rallies. Mayor tells critics to leave.
This is conquest, not coexistence.
If you receive government assistance you shouldn’t be allowed to vote until you are self sufficient. You don’t get to tell me how to run my house if you don’t pay the bills.
Portugal's right-wing leader André Ventura:
"If you want to wear a burqa? It's really simple! Pack your stuff, catch a flight, and go. Go to Pakistan, go to Saudi Arabia, go to Morocco... Go wherever the hell you want. Just not here!"
There are 42 states that hold Bartenders and Waiters accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone but 0 states that hold Judges and Parole Boards accountable if the criminals they release kill someone.
Insane.
Racist Commie Mamdani is going to make you show ID in his markets. You want your government-subsidized arugula? Show your papers! Ask for ID to vote? BIGOT!!!
Are you starting to realize what disingenuous lying buffoons these commies are?
Cuando dentro de 15 años la minoría musulmana ya no sea residual en España y vuestras hijas lleguen un día llorando a casa porque un grupo de moros las ha llamado putas por ir sin velo, empezaréis a entender de qué iba todo esto de la diversidad y el multiculturalismo.
