Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

I refuse to accept the idea that wanting more of our tax dollars returned to us through healthcare, education, and infrastructure is “socialism.” It’s called investing in the people who paid the bill. Who’s with me?

SERIOUS QUESTION: Now if capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive ?? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism ??

Bitter communion: Cuban priests ordered to ration mass wafers.

Communion wafers consumed by Cuba's Catholics are made at a Carmelite monastery in Havana, which like the rest of the city and country has been battling extended power cuts, made worse by a five-month-old US oil blockade

If we put a 10% wealth tax on Musk, we could eliminate extreme poverty for a year while he would remain a trillionaire.

Let the gross immorality of our modern economy sink in.

NEW: Marco Rubio says that Donald Trump didn’t falsely accuse Pope Leo XIV of wanting Iran to have a nuclear weapon and “harming Catholics.”

He’s wrong. Here are the receipts.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has attacked USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess on social media, calling him a “real loser” for expressing concern about the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE.

RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!

Melania Trump: "He would like to have country that all of the people can walk down the street and not be harassed or murdered or women raped"

Trump has been credibly accused by 26 women of sexual harassment & was found liable for sexual assault by a jury

@BishopBarron Your reference to culture wars only seems to extend the divivisiveness where none is needed in this space. You are referencing the culture wars - no one else is.

[meechps @meechps1]

@BishopBarron How about you focus on what is happening in Minnesota and worry less about lambs and tradition? How about supporting those who are being mistreated, maligned, injured and killed by ICE?

"The US is not Germany in the 1930s. But it is sobering to see similar patterns reemerging from that fateful decade. We have reason to worry about the direction our society has taken in recent years." --Bishop Taylor, who lost family in the Holocaust

.@BishopSeitz at downtown El Paso Courthouse: “I make an urgent plea today that the government and immigration enforcement pull back from the edge and respect the sanctity of every human life, the constitutional and civil rights guaranteed to all in this country, to cease actions that degrade the moral and public order, and take action to address the impunity and lack of accountability we are witnessing in the indiscriminate enforcement taking place every day. “

“He will take … your young men … and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”

JD Vance: "Denmark hasn't done a good job at keeping Greenland safe."

Just out of curiosity when was the last time that a Greenlander was shot dead by a masked agent of their own government?

Pope Leo: “The problem is not the numbers — which, of course, make one reflect — but the increasingly evident lack of awareness in feeling part of the Church, that is, of being living members of the Body of Christ, all with unique gifts and roles, and not merely users of the sacred, of the sacraments, perhaps out of mere habit.” https://t.co/Mf4KQkfQeK

[Archbishop Paul S. Coakley @ArchbishopOKC]

I respectfully urge Oklahoma’s state leaders to grant clemency to Kendrick Simpson. His life history reflects profound trauma and suffering—realities that diminish neither the gravity of the crime nor the pain and suffering of the victims and their families—but which call us to a deeper moral reflection on justice, mercy and the dignity of the human person.

In this case, this is all the more concerning when we learn that Mr. Simpson's issues were not shared with members of the jury.

From the teaching of Our Lord, we must conclude that the death penalty is inappropriate because it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the human person, and because society today has the means to protect itself without ending another human life. I ask those entrusted with this solemn decision to prayerfully consider whether execution is truly necessary, or whether mercy, accountability and the possibility of redemption can better witness to the values we seek to uphold as a people.
