Je ne peux malheureusement pas me réduire à une description aussi courte.

[Fx Bellamy @fxbellamy]

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, cet après-midi : « Partout où il n'y a pas de policiers, c'est le calme et la bonne humeur ! »

En quelques heures, lui et ses élus ont publié des dizaines de messages pour condamner la police, la gendarmerie, les préfets, accusant les forces de l’ordre d’être responsables du chaos. Pas un seul mot pour condamner la violence des casseurs qui ravagent nos villes.

Il faut dissoudre LFI.

Let’s not forget the acceleration of the last decade: social media, influencers, & COVID-19 played a key role in the surge of adult baptisms.

[Joachim B @JoachimBNSE]

The faith was never flat in France, but its heartbeat was so low for decades it was hard to perceive. After the devastating 70s, the starting point was the 1980 meeting between John Paul II and the French youth at the Parc des Princes stadium.

[Rod Dreher @roddreher]

Same reaction, half a world away. Maybe you have to know how flat on its back the faith has been in France for so long. And now, all these amazing young people are all-in. After Chartres pilgrimage last year, an old French Catho pal told me, "That generation will save us."

[Joachim B @JoachimBNSE]

But this shouldn't be overstated. Mass attendance, infant baptisms & ordinations remain at historic lows. It hasn't reversed the stats, apart from adult baptisms. Still, what we saw in Paris is the result of 4 decades of quiet renewal. It gives plenty of hope for the future.

[Joachim B @JoachimBNSE]

@Absyrte No one is suggesting hours of monastic prayer for a father! But there’s a wide middle path between hours of silent contemplation and a few minutes of devotions. A simple 15–30 minutes of daily mental prayer or Examen is a proven, realistic middle ground many lay people thrive on.

[Joachim B @JoachimBNSE]

That statement is definitely excessive, but the underlying point has deep roots in spiritual tradition such as Carmel, which teach that without a solid baseline of daily silent prayer, a soul lacks the interior space to be deeply inspired and guided by God.

[Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en]

JD Vance is causing professional Catholics to totally lose their minds and I have no idea why

[Joachim B @JoachimBNSE]

@Absyrte Totally agree with your last point. But deep daily prayer transcends specific devotions, it’s a necessity for anyone seeking sanctity and wanting their actions animated by God. Still, I’m grateful our VP prays two daily decades of the Rosary.

Le Général était décidément perspicace.

C’est un fondement du christianisme : Dieu offre son pardon aux hommes avant qu’ils le demandent. Cette éthique du pardon n’a pas empêché la civilisation chrétienne de devenir ce qu’elle est. Le « vous n’aurez pas ma haine » n’en est qu’une version dévoyée qui oublie la justice

C’est ÇA, ceci précisément, qui détruit l’Occident.

@Aspiringloafer @pegobry_en @AuronMacintyre As far as I remember it was more about the Catholic Church to adopt Protestant forms of worship, a Church more centered on Scripture than on Tradition and the Holy Mass. He was from a historic institutionalized church so I guess that fits with the first part of your question

[Joachim B @JoachimBNSE]

@pegobry_en @AuronMacintyre I interviewed a calvinist pastor 15 years ago he told me V2 raised hopes among protestants for the catholic Church to become protestant-like but those hopes where dashed 25 years before (the interview), so roughly during JP2 s pontificate

1/ Il n’y a pas de dérive de l’euthanasie. L’euthanasie est une dérive.

Le projet de loi glisse déjà hors de tout contrôle, avant même d’être voté : critères flous, protections écartées, impunité organisée. Autoriser la mort sans garde-fous, c’est perdre le cap.
