@elonmusk Whenever Socialism / Communism lead to their natural ends and kill millions of people, it's never 'real' Socialism / Communism.

True

@KimKatieUSA @mamazilla The propaganda is more important than the money.

@mamazilla Pure insanity. As long as people stay away and it bombs, maybe just maybe someday they will get the message that woke doesn't sell.

Can anyone explain to me how a scrawny little female is going to come anywhere near replicating this?

@KimKatieUSA She will not.

If you’re seeing this, I lit a candle for you. God bless you all!🙏🏻

When you're told your entire life that the Catholic Church is the One True Church and that its teachings are immutable, how do you expect people to react when every single form of lived Catholicism, from the form of Mass to the unthinkable elimination of Friday abstinence, suddenly changed when the overwhelming majority of the laity never asked for it? These are the people whose grandparents and great grandparents sacrificed money they didn't have to build beautiful churches, altars, statues, etc., only for pastors to throw it all in the trash because "we don't believe in this anymore" and "you're an immature Catholic if you need such superstitious nonsense for your faith." So maybe just stop.

Since losing my eyesight, I am unable to personally make posts without help. But, praise God my loving and amazing wife of almost 63years sits with me and posts what I am lead by the Spirit to tell her. To God be the Glory!

Yes Greg, I’m saying consistent with nearly 2,000 years of Sacred Tradition and Centuries of Sacramental Theology that Valid Baptism remits Original Sin and leaves an indelible mark on the Baptized. Once Validly Baptized one might be a Heretic, Schismatic, Apostate, or Excommunicated but they aren’t a pagan/infidel even if they adopt a paganistic belief system. Q: WHO ARE THEY WHO DO NOT BELONG TO THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS? A: Those who are damned do not belong to the Communion of Saints in the other life; and in this life those who belong neither to the body nor to the soul of the Church, that is, those who are in mortal sin, and who are outside the true Church. Q: WHO ARE THEY WHO ARE OUTSIDE THE TRUE CHURCH? A: Outside the true Church are: Infidels, Jews, heretics, apostates, schismatics, and the excommunicated. Q: WHO ARE INFIDELS? A: Infidels are those who have not been baptized and do not believe in Jesus Christ, because they either believe in and worship false gods as idolaters do, or though admitting one true God, they do not believe in the Messiah, neither as already come in the Person of Jesus Christ, nor as to come; for instance, Mohammedans and the like. Q: WHO ARE THE JEWS? A: The Jews are those who profess the Law of Moses; have not received baptism; and do not believe in Jesus Christ. Q: WHO ARE HERETICS? A: Heretics are those of the baptized who obstinately refuse to believe some truth revealed by God and taught as an article of faith by the Catholic Church; for example, the Arians, the Nestorians, and the various sects of Protestants. Q: WHO ARE APOSTATES? A: Apostates are those who abjure, or by some external act, deny the Catholic faith which they previously professed. Q: WHO ARE SCHISMATICS? A: Schismatics are those Christians who, while not explicitly denying any dogma, yet voluntarily separate themselves from the Church of Jesus Christ, that is, from their lawful pastors. Q: WHO ARE THE EXCOMMUNICATED? A: The excommunicated are those who, because of grievous transgressions, are struck with excommunication by the Pope or their Bishop, and consequently are cut off as unworthy from the body of the Church, which, however, hopes for and desires their conversion. Q: SHOULD EXCOMMUNICATION BE DREADED? A: Excommunication should be greatly dreaded, because it is the severest and most terrible punishment the Church can inflict upon her rebellious and obstinate children. #CatholicX #CatholicTwitter

Heading to the ER, again. I fell about an hour ago landing solidly on my left hip. I also hit the left side of my head. I've got a bad feeling that I've broken my hip. I will keep you updated. thank you for the prayers.

Cancer royally sucks wife’s in hospital with bad infection and they believe her cancer has now migrated to her bone marrow as her platelet count is super low sad beyond belief Prayers for her healing May God have mercy and Jesus places healing hands upon her amen

Today, words fail us. It’s been a long, hard battle the last few years. In times like this, the sacrifices and the struggles don’t even matter. A few hours ago we received the most earth-shattering news that our 20 year old son, Evan Roberts Locke, could not be revived after his heart stopped due to an overdose. His struggle was very public. It was used as a warning to many, a punchline to the haters but an overall reminder that even in our deepest pain, the grace of Jesus will sustain us. I’ll address the church family with arrangement details this Sunday. Please respect our privacy. He has 5 heartbroken siblings and a world of people that helped him along his journey.

Ok man, I just checked the UFO files and...man, this changes everything. Quote from Richard Nixon: "I was in the White House. President Eisenhower and an alien were in the closet making babies, and I saw one of the babies, and the baby looked at me."

Will you please join me in prayer? We are in Lourdes and will put my wife in the water tomorrow. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and we are praying for a miracle. Thank you so much.

Dad has a kidney cyst. He is in pain. Pray for him.

Could use some prayer for my 11 year old who is sick🙏🏻❤️ Any prayers appreciated🙏🏻❤️

One year ago today, during a routine scan, they found Liv’s cancer had come back for the third time. It wasn’t just one spot — it was in so many places. I remember sitting there as her oncologist told me, feeling the floor drop out from under me. In that moment I knew deep down we weren’t going to beat it. But knowing didn’t mean quitting. Not for one single day. We fought like hell anyway — for every extra sunrise, every laugh, every hug that still somehow held all the love we had left. Liv, my brave girl, you never stopped fighting either. I’m so proud of you. I miss you more than words can say. 💔 We never quit. Not then. Not now. We will make sure your memory lasts forever. ❤️

My father died this evening at home. 😢 Thank you all for your prayers, it meant so much to our family. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.” Timothy 4:7

Just got an unexpected voicemail from a friend. Will call when I get home, but meanwhile she sounds like she needs prayers.

@AmisdesABC This vid really hits hard

Late night pastoral duties. Anointing the sick. Pray for me. 20 kilometers one way. Am going fast today; urgency. Music keeps me singing along all the way, keeping me awake.

Five-year-old Anna was the only witness to the domestic violence that had hospitalised her mother. In the large courtroom, her father stared at her from the defendant’s table. She refused to testify. She hid behind the prosecutor, shaking, and cried that she could not do it because he would see her. The prosecutor was about to request a recess when Judge Marcus, known for his stern manner, called for a pause. He stepped down from the bench, walked over to the girl, and knelt. He asked her gently what her name was. She whispered that her name was Anna. He told her that he was Judge Marcus, that it was his courtroom and he was in charge. He explained that his most important rule was that no one was allowed to be scary — not even her father — and that he would not permit it. He pointed to the witness stand and said that the chair looked big and lonely. He suggested that she and he should sit there together and that she could sit on his lap so he could act as her shield. He held out his hand, and Anna took it. The judge then sat in the witness stand with Anna on his lap, his black robe wrapped around her. Shielded by him, she found her voice and told the court what she had seen.
