@MaryBowdenMD@DrBenTapper1 So what’s the reco? I got my last tetinas shot because I was headed to India (the travel agency recommend every 5 years in 3rd world countries). As a guy in my 30s it seemed okay.
@FrMikeSchmitz_ I have been working my way through the catechism in a year podcast (after finishing your bible in a year). Thank you for teaching me so much. After walking through the bible and catechism with you for countless hours, I am struggling with things like this. It would be great to hear your perspective. -potential future catholic.
I cannot remain silent on this.
The Pope’s decision to do this now, right as Europe is witnessing yet another wave of murders of its citizens by migrants (think of Louis, Christian, Henry, and the countless others) cannot be dismissed as a mere public relations blunder.
It is a painful slap in the face of the Christian native peoples of Europe and all those who lost their children and loved ones as a result of mass migration.
Where is the Church’s charity and compassion toward them?
Why do we not hear a word from the Pope about the 250,000 white British girls who were raped?
Why do we not hear a word about the attacks on Europe’s Churches and Christian communities?
Why do we not hear a word about the millions of Europeans who are unsafe and estranged, fast becoming a minority in their own homelands?
The Church’s silence regarding the threats European Christians face is already deafening. Combining it with telling Europeans that they must do more to “integrate and protect migrants”, is adding insult to injury.
As a new Catholic, I have generally tried to refrain from critiquing the Pope, for we do not lightly challenge the father. This, however, is not a matter of dogma or infallible teaching. The Pope has chosen to make a political and pastoral statement on migration, and on such prudential questions the faithful may legitimately form and express their own judgment.
And my opinion on this is clear: Europe does not have a moral obligation to house the entire world, especially not when it comes at the cost of civilizational destruction.

@thatsKAIZEN When you sent your correction video, I was thinking we need more of this but I didn’t say anything. Good work and don’t let the negativity get you.
