🚨 ��🇸 Pope Leo XIV has approved the beatification of 80 Catholics who were BRUTALLY martyred by Communists during the Spanish Civil War
It comes ahead of the pope's visit to Spain in June
A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:
"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.
Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."
But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."
Really, @BBCWorld—is this how you present Noelia’s case? Anyone who questions “assisted suicide” gets labeled ultra-Catholic? You frame it as a success while ignoring the details that make this a tragedy—one that should never have happened. https://t.co/arCD3LGVoH
No sé quién es Silvia Abril, pero hoy me alegro mucho de haber conocido al P @fjbronchalo a través de este tweet. Yo, a él si le daba un premio. Que Dios le bendiga Padre
Carta de un cura de barrio a Silvia Abril:
Estimada Silvia:
Me llamo Francisco Javier. Soy un sacerdote del montón que vive y trabaja en un barrio obrero del sur de Madrid, en Leganés. En mi día a día no hay focos ni maquillaje; aquí la vida es muy auténtica.

A ver, Adita, una explicación para niños:
1)A los nazarenos nadie les impone ir tapados. Lo hacen porque quieren. Nadie está obligado a salir de nazareno.
2)Los nazarenos son hombres y mujeres. No se tapan las mujeres sí y los hombres no.
3)Los nazarenos se tapan sólo en Semana Santa y para salir en la procesión. El burka lo llevan siempre.
Pero eso tú lo sabes. Mezclas churras con merinas porque crees que tu público es tonto, y en eso, a veces, tienes razón.
On the other hand, how many scam accounts does @SAS have on twitter??? So the airline is already taking money out people's pockets and then you have scammers hoovering around people in need... Gross! I blocked like 8 account in less than 1 mins... @elonmusk not OK :(

@KAMO1322@CatalyticMin The demonstration was organized in opposition to Turning Point USA and its co-leader Erika Kirk, who was scheduled to speak at the church as part of TPUSA's “Make Heaven Crowded Tour.”
@sincead33@catholicpat Who said we don’t? The Catechism is studied before Holy Communion and Confirmation. It’s one of the books most catholics have at home. We study Tradition with it and most churches have Catechism classes for adults.
Activist: "Every cow adds carbon to the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Only if the total number of cows is increasing."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "Stable populations are carbon neutral. Methane breaks down in twelve years back to CO2. Same CO2 the grass absorbed last year."
Activist: "But it's still emissions..."
Farmer: "It's a cycle. Carbon goes: grass to cow to methane to CO2 to grass. Round and round."
Activist: "That's not how it works."
Farmer: "That's exactly how the biogenic carbon cycle works."
Activist: "I've never heard of that."
Farmer: "Because admitting ruminants are climate neutral doesn't sell plant-based products."
Activist: "You're making this up."
Farmer: "Published research. Look up 'biogenic carbon cycle.' I'll wait."
This is one of my fav videos to watch.
The Maronite words of consecration, spoken in Aramaic, the very same language of Christ.
Whenever I feel anxious or just need to hear something beautiful, I return to this.
