I honestly didn't expect this article I wrote for @earthandaltarmag.com to resonate with so many folks... But I'm so glad it did. Thank you, @theodramatist.com , for giving me the space and opportunity to write it. I hope it continues to edify as we face the future together.

“One cannot lay hold on eternity in time by leaps out of time, but by obedience and acceptance of the renunciation which is imposed on him. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven; blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Balthasar

Man I’m looking forward to the TV news having live footage of that goddamn chimney pipe during the conclave. apnews.com/article/pope...

This dynamic has never once worked out for me in a victorious way on here. But my expertise is religion. Just one religion, even.

‘To plead one’s case as a victim of injustice: Trump and Vance want Americans to see this as contemptible behavior. As a new and caustically “Christian” rhetoric puts it, they want us to see “empathy” with such victims as a sin.’ earthandaltarmag.com/posts/dionys...

These guys are obviously evil for the sake of it. This is not a “people who wake up with a different idea of The Good than you” thing. They wake up every morning and proudly put on their Team Evil jerseys and go out there to give it their all.

Last night’s news progression: Trump deported a citizen child -> Trump deported multiple citizen children -> Trump deported multiple citizen children with cancer

Yeah the wax masks throw me I won’t lie.

(showing up to Francis’s funeral scruffy and late but here. digitally.)

I like the vibe of seeing a complete stranger’s post about how it’s good to resist evil and thinking to yourself, “Hmmm. Time to make someone sad.”

Gotta admit it’s extremely funny that the White House keeps running into Catholics — including the literal USCCB — who keep throwing up roadblocks because they like poor people and migrants.

Don't even have to paint anything, that's exactly what's happening

lollll

Non-Catholics who like Pope Francis have a mean way of contrasting him with Benedict and the mean thing I do in response is just give them facts about the last 6-7 papacies so that they feel really stupid.

At the sealing of his coffin this evening, Pope Francis’ face was covered with a white silk cloth. Coins minted during his papacy were placed in the coffin, along with a “Rogito,” a scroll placed into a cylinder tube with a summary of Francis’ life and 12-year pontificate. 📸 Vatican Media

Remembering that time someone bragged about almost being Catholic thanks to Benedict but feeling relieved because now Francis, and my only comment was a very annoyed “Have you read a history book?”

I don’t like Nazis. Don’t like them. They should not be in charge of anything or anyone.

There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.
