The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.

I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

🚨 WOW! Cardinal Timothy Dolan: “The more I learned about [Charlie], I thought this guy is a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, an evangelist, a hero. He's one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said, ‘The truth will set you free.’”

I’m in tears. Country singer Morgan Wallen paused his massive concert to send Prayers to Erika Kirk

“I just wanted to let Erika Kirk know that me and my family are sending prayers her way"

Office Depot (@officedepot) employees refuse to print a poster for a Charlie Kirk vigil in Michigan, claiming it's "political propaganda."

"It's propaganda... I'm one of the managers."

About to be one of the *former* managers.

Charlie Kirk would have been president. His friends knew it. His admirers knew it. And his enemies knew it.

This universal confidence in Charlie’s future began with his countless political accomplishments. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which went on to become the most important cultural organization on the American Right. By 22, he was addressing the Republican National Convention. Three years later, he founded Turning Point Action, which led the get-out-the-vote efforts that delivered the first Republican popular vote victory in twenty years. In his spare time, Charlie published five books, hosted a national talk show, married a lovely wife, and fathered two beautiful children. All of that by 31.

Charlie’s appearance inspired as much confidence as his accomplishments. At a towering six-foot-five slouching, he joked that he had descended from the Nephilim—the giant “fallen ones” of the Old Testament. He might have been born with such a nature, as are we all, but he was not content to remain so. Charlie loved his Savior. The zeal with which he debated politics paled in comparison to the excitement with which he discussed religion. And his religious life bore fruit.

Turning Point launched a Faith division to focus specifically on his followers’ souls. There too, Charlie’s enthusiasm for open debate set the tone, as he invited atheists and even Catholics to take part. But he didn’t need a specific religious conference to convey his faith. Charlie Kirk’s religion bore fruit in everything he did.

Discerning observers believed in Charlie Kirk, not chiefly for his accolades or his appearance, but for his manifest virtue. Charlie’s prudence, the principal virtue in politics, built a generational coalition that helped to transform the American government. His temperance distinguished him as one of the few on the Right to eschew whisky, cigars, and every other delight that might have distracted him from his purpose, for which he had so little time. His sense of justice produced clarity in moral vision and grace for his opponents. His fortitude impelled him to enter the public square without a hint of servile fear.

Charlie’s only fear was the holy sort—awe and wonder, the beginning of wisdom—and his clearest virtues were theological: faith, hope, and charity. We mourn his death, we take up his cause, and we entrust him, as he confidently entrusted himself, to God’s care.

A father, husband, son, and a man of Christ.

A titan of modern conservatism.

May God bless Charlie Kirk, and his family.

[Harrison Butker @buttkicker7]

Thank you for your strong witness for Christ @charliekirk11. Thank you for pursuing truth and leading your family as a husband and father. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

Here is what a Catholic VP sounds like…

I am in tears. Vice President JD Vance just led the whole room in a prayer for the 2 children who lost their lives

This is so powerful 🙏

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

Mocking murdered children for praying. Scum of the earth.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, prayer doesn't magically protect us from suffering. At its core, prayer is raising the mind and heart to God, which is absolutely appropriate in times of deep pain.

Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.

Scottie Scheffler said winning golf tournaments is ultimately, not satisfying.

Without saying it, he iterates that athletic accomplishments are great, but it’s like striving after the wind. The only thing that satisfies, ultimately, is Jesus Christ.

Robbery.

NEW: Father who jumped into the ocean to save his daughter on a Disney cruise ship vindicated, did not prop his daughter on the railing like online Disney conspiracy theorists claimed.

The Disney cult owes this man an apology.

According to a new report, the mother witnessed the incident and alerted the husband.

The girl had climbed up on the railing by herself and fallen through a porthole into the ocean, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

Police say that after the man was notified by his wife, he immediately jumped off Deck 4, about 20 feet above the water, and swam to his daughter.

He then held her as he treaded water for about 20 minutes until rescue boats arrived.

The new report comes as Disney fans said the man should not be commended for his actions, falsely claiming he put his daughter on the ledge himself.

@alexathallow Love the App, love the mission, I and my friends are paying subscribers. We would love to see a full daily offering of the divine office (liturgy of the hours) on the platform. Maybe a large endeavor, but I hope it’s something y’all are interested in pursuing.
