🚨 NÃO É MEME, É O BRASIL REAL: Um juiz condenou uma família inteira por “ABANDONO INTELECTUAL”…
Só porque eles fazem HOMESCHOOLING! 😱
O “crime”? As meninas NÃO ouvem FUNK nem SERTANEJO.
A educação delas é focada em arte sacra, latim, piano e teoria musical.
A mãe se formou em MATEMÁTICA só pra ensinar as filhas em casa.
Elas leem 30 LIVROS POR ANO. Uma já passou de 6 MIL PÁGINAS.
Mas o juiz disse: “visão restrita de mundo”.
Falta sexualidade, gênero, outras religiões… e funk, claro.
Resultado? Pais podem pegar 50 DIAS DE PRISÃO + outras punições.
Não é piada. É sério.
Por isso, milhares de famílias homeschoolers estão fugindo do Brasil, onde, além de não ser regulamentada, a prática agora pode gerar perseguição.
E o pior: agora virou jurisprudência.
Não expor seus filhos ao funk e ao sertanejo pode dar CADEIA. ⚖️
Acorda, Brasil!
Isso é liberdade ou ditadura disfarçada?
RT se você acha isso um ABSURDO.
Why does Mary look younger than Jesus in Michelangelo's Pietà?
The answer is one of the most beautiful in art history...
Mary is holding the body of her 33 year old son, but she looks 20. Critics noticed it the moment the sculpture was unveiled in 1499. The mother of a man who has just been crucified would have been in her late forties or early fifties. Michelangelo had carved her as a girl.
His own biographer, Ascanio Condivi, was the one who finally asked him why. The answer Michelangelo gave is preserved in Condivi's Life of Michelangelo and has been repeated for centuries: "Do you not know that chaste women stay fresh much more than those who are not chaste? How much more in the case of the Virgin, who had never experienced the least lascivious desire that might change her body?"
Most modern critics treat this answer as a half-serious deflection. Michelangelo was famous for his sharp tongue and refused to explain himself to people he considered beneath his intellect.
The deeper answer is older, and it lies inside one of the greatest poems ever written. In the final canto of Dante's Paradiso, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux begins his prayer to the Virgin with one of the most extraordinary lines in Italian literature:
"Vergine madre, figlia del tuo figlio."
"Virgin mother, daughter of your own son."
Michelangelo, who knew Dante by heart, was carving that line into stone. Mary is younger than Jesus because Jesus is older than the universe... because she gave birth to her own creator.
But there is another reading, simpler than either of those, and it is the one I find myself thinking of today. Every mother who has held her child has held them at every age at once. The infant is still inside the toddler. The toddler is still inside the teenager. The young man on her lap, even dead, is also the boy she nursed and the baby she first carried home.
And maybe that's why Michelangelo did not carve Mary as the years had aged her. He carved her as love had kept her: outside of time, outside of grief, holding her son the way she had always held him...
Happy Mother's Day.

Everything I am about to say below is official Catholic teaching which every Catholic is required to believe….
1. Mary is not God.
2. Mary is not equal to Jesus.
3. The pope is not a demigod, nor a guru, nor an oracle, nor is he infallible ALL the time.
4. Justification is not by Faith Alone.
5. Justification is not by Works Alone.
6. Justification is by Faith in Christ, accompanied by Works of love in Christ.
7. Purgatory is not a “second chance” for the dead.
8. Purgatory is temporary, and it is only for those who are already saved, so they can be purified before entering heaven.
9. No one is saved, unless it is through Jesus Christ.
10. We must trust in Jesus Christ.
What I have said above is absolutely 100% true, and by making it a public statement here, I would be inviting disciplinary action from my bishop if it were not true.
