I want a change, and a radical change.

I want a change from an acquisitive society to a functional one, from a society of go-getters to one of go-givers. -PM

"The marketplace, by itself, cannot resolve every problem, however much we are asked to believe this dogma of neoliberal faith." #FratelliTutti vibes got me like ☭

The Second Amendment did not come down from Sinai. The right to bear arms will never be more important than human life. Our children have rights too. And our elected officials have a moral duty to protect them.

@kwhitaker_ @Gloria_Dominum The deacon where I used to do youth ministry would do a similar exercise like the piece of paper, but with a $20 bill. His point was that of course we still want the $20, and that's how God feels about us too, no matter how broken we feel. Tragic to see that message flipped.

[Bishop John Stowe @BpStowe]

Those who vehemently fight legal abortion but are uninterested in providing basic healthcare for pregnant mothers or needy children, who are unconcerned about refugee children or those lacking quality education with no hope of escaping poverty cannot really claim to respect life.

Memento mori. Remember that you were made in love, for love, and to love you shall return.

This happened yesterday in Minnesota, the suspect was a 61-year-old white man fleeing police. He wasn't shot or tased.

(1) Just became real emotional. In 1980 I was pulled over in Worthington, OH after a cop saw me pass his parked car. I had IL plates and he asked why was I driving here at 11:30p & said I had been driving erratically. I told him “WE” were on our way to an all-night restaurant ...

What’s it like being a woman in the Church? LOL literally no one here knows.

[Philip Joseph @pshefve]

This brings hope.

[Rich Raho @RichRaho]

In major historic move, Pope Francis has appointed Sr Nathalie Becquart (@SrNatB) as undersecretary to the Synod of Bishops. As an undersecretary, Sr. Nathalie will enjoy the privilege of voting rights at the Synod of Bishops, making her the first woman to do such.

@carobini Your post had nothing to do with the Gospel. This is truly sad. You are in my prayers.

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. Over nearly 40 years of visiting death row facilities across the United States, I have never met a single person with money or resources. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”

@dn12179 @pappybryant @ZTimewaster @CarlBeijer @ebruenig I believe in hell. It is not my place to say who goes where. I am truly disgusted and horrified by his crime, but I can feel that way and also hope he found salvation.

[Philip Joseph @pshefve]

@dn12179 @pappybryant @ZTimewaster @CarlBeijer @ebruenig Not sure this thread is full of people who "hope" anyone goes to hell.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

We forgot we were servants.
We thought ourselves kings.

[Philip Joseph @pshefve]

@ilTracey @BBJoey3 The lengthy legal process that eventually leads to the death penalty being carried out provides years and years of events to trigger a victims' family's trauma.

[Philip Joseph @pshefve]

@ilTracey @BBJoey3 Weird to die on the "if you're against capital punishment you need help" hill. Part of the tragedy is the 30 year gap between crime and punishment. Even if you support the death penalty, by now, does it still feel worth it? This man has been no threat to society for 30 years.

[Philip Joseph @pshefve]

God and Jesus are mentioned a total of zero times in his statement. More idolatry of man masquerading as faith. Shameful.

[Ruth Graham @publicroad]

"It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that Speaker Pelosi promised for this betrayal." In a new Facebook post, Franklin Graham lambasts the 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment.

[Philip Joseph @pshefve]

In 2016 I begged my conservative Catholic friends (I would have called myself a conservative Catholic, then...) to realize what tying their movement to MAGA would do, but they wouldn't listen. Heartbreaking to watch so many of them fundamentally change as people since.

[Rod Dreher @roddreher]

This is a FANTASTIC piece by John Jalsevac, a conservative Catholic who is fed up with the MAGA lies. https://t.co/OM4LY2Enyc
