Not an image, but here are all of the 255 dogmatically defined teachings of the Catholic Church all in one place 🧵

[Magister Iācōbus @latinedisce]

Ad maiorem Dei gloria — "For the greater glory of God."

[Live Action @LiveAction]

A Georgia hairstylist who had donated her eggs received a text from a teen claiming to be her biological daughter.

She told her never to contact her again.

The teen had originally said, "I don't mean to be a bother, but I think you may be my biological mother. My mom revealed this info to me and I was wondering if you wanted to do a DNA test and possibly get to know me and build a relationship as your daughter."

The woman told her she was "not your mother," and called the message a "major breach of privacy."

“Egg donation is a confidential, anonymous business transaction. I signed my parental rights away 19 years ago. I am not your mother.”

In a follow-up video, the woman admitted to reacting too quickly, and said she would be open to future contact with the teen, though she still said she was not interested in being her mother.

"I do understand you're looking for answers. I'm open to a phone conversation so we can both be heard."

Though the woman’s original reaction was to deny a connection to the teen, in reality, she is the girl's biological mother, whether she feels a connection to her or not. If she donated eggs numerous times, she could have numerous biological offspring she still doesn't know about.

Even more donor-conceived adults have complained of feeling like they've been mass-produced.

It is not a child's fault that he or she was conceived in this manner.

IVF places the wants and desires of adults over the needs of the children it creates.

We must ban IVF.

Did you know your birthday is important to God and holds special significance?

Father James Blount, a priest and exorcist of the Society of Our Lady of the Trinity, presented a talk at the 2026 Divine Mercy National Conference in Dublin, Ireland.

In the more than hour-long presentation, Father Blount explains the importance of birthdays and how God chooses the day we are born for a reason. He also says the name our parents choose for us also bears great significance.

“Your birthday, you see, and your birth name are very important to God,” Father Blount begins.
“God usually guides our parents to name us. You’re even born on the right day. The day you’re born is very important.”

Father Blount encourages listeners to research their date of birth and “see what saints share that day with you, because that sort of determines—it’s like a sign to you of your life.”

The priest and exorcist then shares his own testimony regarding God’s providential design behind his birthday and the name his parents chose for him.

“In my own life, I was born on July 18th, and there is a priest. His feast day was another day. His name is Saint Camillus,” he explains. “When I got a little bit older, the pope changed his feast day to my birthday. He was a priest like me. He was in the healing ministry like me. He was in the military like I was. Exactly my own life mirrored in Saint Camillus.”

Father Blount also unveils the providential nature behind Saint Faustina’s birth name, Helena.

“Saint Helena, of course, was the mother of Constantine—Constantine the Great, the great Roman emperor. When she went to the Holy Land, she found the True Cross,” he says.

He adds that when Saint Helena searched for the True Cross of Christ, “a light came down from heaven over the spot where the cross was,” which told her its exact location.

“Saint Helena Faustina also saw a light in heaven with a cross. Did she not? She saw the cross in heaven.”

Father Blount again encourages the audience to research the saints the church celebrates on their birthdays.

“You will find on your birthday whatever saints are important for your life. You’ll be shocked at what you find,” he says. “Do you see how the day you were born or the saint you were named for is very important?”

So if anyone ignores, forgets, or intentionally neglects your birthday, know that God cares. It’s important to the Creator who made you. He carefully crafted it, even to the date.

What saints are celebrated on your birthday?

[Pope Respecter @poperespecter1]

Today Pope Leo XIV warned against gooning and spending all day online.

Fight it bros. Don't let the icons of satan take your soul.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”

Love how our culture calls burgers babies but literal babies are parasites or clumps of cells
