The “catholic revival” is coming to a dead halt thanks to Leo
We’re going to see a sharp decrease in attendance from westerners under 30 as they come to the realization that the church isn’t interested in advocating for or defending them
Conversions are going to be 10, 20% of what they were in 2026 next year, and all those who converted in the post-2020 revival are going to slowly fall away as they realize that the Catholic Church isn’t as based and trad as they thought, but that rather it is just another gay liberal NGO
Thanks, bob
Flew into Mexico City from DC last night and I’m already clocking the shift in energy.
I left my England shirt in the bag for this flight despite wearing it loud and proud on every single one before now without any second thoughts.
But here? The Mexico fan vibe isn’t reading as normal rivalry. It’s heavier and meaner. It’s not banter; there’s no playfulness about it. There’s actual aggression in it, and underneath that, something colder and almost unhinged.
Walked a few blocks around the hotel in my England shirt this morning and got called “puta gringa” - white whore, basically. The whole atmosphere is steeped in this hostility.
Police have shut roads down, running checkpoints, confiscating glass bottles like they’re expecting things to pop off. Riot vibes. I’ve traveled everywhere in this shirt and never once felt this on edge.
It feels like it’s more than “just football” at stake here. I hope that I’m reading it all wrong, that it’s just pre-match noise that burns off once the final whistle blows and everyone goes home.
I just think these people have very bad self esteem because they don't believe their choices and actions could ever be significant enough to impact a single other person, good or bad !
