Of course, @theisabelb is absolutely right. People should be having more children. Most of the women online who celebrate being “childfree” aren’t citing their economic woes as the reason for opting out. They’re talking about “choosing me.” Traveling. Chasing their marketing job. Sleeping in on Saturdays. People much poorer than us throughout history have had families and thrived. Many people who aren’t having babies today are doing so out of selfishness and an addiction to leisure. That points to a much deeper, spiritual problem of self-idolatry, a misunderstanding of human purpose and the meaning of life.

I wish a lot of my fellow Christians would get this through their heads.

The Left at its core is not just anti-civilization but anti-human.

@MZHemingway Huge if true.

This information showing the Vances have a healthy marriage may be the funniest “exclusive” I’ve ever seen.

🚨REUTERS finally reports last nights massacre of Christians in Nigeria calling them “gunmen” (not Muslim jihadists) who killed Christians due to “climate change” not their faith. The media is complicit and demonic with their lies! @Reuters WE ARE ON THE GROUND TO TELL THE TRUTH HERE!

During his Palm Sunday message yesterday, Pope Leo XIV said: "(Christ) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them." As a blanket statement, this is EXPLICITLY heterodoxical. We know from the Scriptures that Moses prayed and received victory in war, as did several Israelite kings such as David. In fact, whole chunks of the Psalms -- when David prayed for wartime victory over his enemies -- would now be in error according to Pope Leo XIV. Then there's the fact when Christ returns it will be with a robe dipped in blood and a sword in His mouth. But I'm sure that's merely decorative. Ironically, the best thing this pope accomplished with his hippy dippy Palm Sunday message is confirm my belief in Sola Scriptura. But let's take it further and look at this from an explicitly Catholic perspective. This would also be a repudiation of the history of the Catholic Church this pope presides over, which several times righteously went to war to preserve itself and the West. Which we should all still be thankful for today. For example, Pope Pius V attributed his legendary victory over the Ottomans (Muslims) in 1517 (the very year Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation) to the Rosary prayers of the faithful HE INSTRUCTED to pray. And that victory was considered such a supernatural miracle of prayer, that Pope Pius V was later sainted. I'm sure the Ottomans were repelled without any bloodshed. This from this pope is not a Christian sentiment in any way, shape, or form but a ridiculously hippy and worldly one. The kind of stuff fools who pray over blocks of ice and visit climate conferences think and say. And to ironically drop it in a message on the day Christ is welcomed to Jerusalem as the "son of David" -- who prayed many of those answered wartime prayers to God -- is especially revolting. Perhaps this pope should research if God answers the prayers of heretics?

The work that these historians Guelzo and Hankins (both of whom I've had on my podcast) are doing is invaluable. Follow their Substack, get their epic 2-volume history of the West, and use it to teach your children.

@Thebestfigen All of human history explained in 15 seconds.

The speed at which a woman influences a man! 🤣🤣

All of human history explained in 15 seconds.

One of the greatest quotes of all time (it is from Gustav Mahler, by the way).

1st, I wasn't aware that history IS actually being taught anymore. 2nd, no one has ever taught history by simply requiring students to memorize dates, but if students don't know the dates of important events or at least where to order them on a timeline, then they haven't learned history. 3rd, I agree that history IS a great, exciting story, and if a teacher presents it with a passion that brings the people and events to life, that enthusiasm and interest will be contagious.

Truth

SYRIA: A group of young Muslims entered the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Hama and tried to rape Christian girls. Brave Christian men fought them and kicked them out. They later returned with a government-backed mob, looted homes and properties, opened fire, and arrested several Christian men who they plan to execute. This is daily life for Christians living under Islamic rule.

We come to Mass not to dance, clap, focus on the priest, etc. Jesus is the reason why we come to Mass. Jesus is why we are Catholic. Not the priest and definitely not the Pope. We are Catholics because of Jesus.

The Palestinians literally held a public parade after slaughtering a mother and her two infants while parading their coffins around like it was the Super Bowl trophy If you want to reward them with a state, you’re nuts.

@BuzzPatterson Same face, same gesturing, same vapid blather -- this is just Gavin in a wig, right?

Can you imagine 4 years of this? We’ll all Jim Jones ourselves.

Mull this over. They’re holding “No Kings” protests in England. Think about it.

G. K. Chesterton explains that reading gives a man more lives than he was born with: “A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

He was given the keys to the Cathedral by the priests. They put him in charge of locking up and gave him verger duties. After he set it on fire, destroying the organ and organ loft, Fr Maire offered him a safe haven in his home to await trial. He proceeded to murder Fr Maire.

Finish the job, Mr. President! @MelanieLatest in @JNS_org jns.org/opinion/column…
