@triceworldpipe @BellaBaddie__ Nope. Weed is why.

1) Being drunk in public is a risk now that everyone has a video camera. 2) Drinking has become very expensive. 3) Historically men drank and went out to meet women… online dating and social isolation have made that far less likely. 4) Other addictions have superseded it in popularity. 5) It’s bad for you and viewed by Gen Z the way Millennials viewed smoking cigarettes.

Serious Question: The alcohol industry has lost $830 billion in the last 4 years, because Gen Z is not drinking. Why do you think they aren’t drinking?

@melodymlyons This is the most ridiculous post I've read today. So false and such a waste of time.

Tradism is a gateway out of the Church. Because it so frequently involves spiritual abuse and abuse of conscience, it cuts off all other paths within the Church. So if someone comes to find tradism (or its proponents) intolerable, there is nowhere else to go… The person has been conditioned against the NO. Trust in Church is gone. Deconstruction was already underway and finds its completion in giving tradism the boot. It’s tragic. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Our role in evangelization should be to open as many doors as possible to Him. Tradism makes openings as small as possible, shuts doors that should be open, and makes its adherents usurping gatekeepers of God’s mercy and love.

@MayorLucasKC Um Town Topic is now closing at 8pm after years and years of being open 24 hours because of safety concerns. But yes let's bring in half a million people and extend bar hours. Who is the adult in the room?

Summer in Kansas City is about to get even bigger, and with the FIFA World Cup heading our way, we've updated our entertainment hours to balance public safety with economic opportunity. Bars citywide can stay open until 3 AM, and in designated entertainment districts, bars can stay open until 5 AM with a city-approved security plan. Visit kcmo.gov for full details. Let's make this a summer Kansas City is proud of.

@catholicDAWG @JeffCassman @CatholicRob It's widely known, one. And two you can't "step in and pray it for them". That's not how this works.

@JeffCassman @CatholicRob I doubt you know how many priests are not praying their breviary, but if they aren't, we Laity need need to step up and pray it for them.

The very first priest my convert wife EVER confessed to told her that artificial contraception was not a sin when she confessed it in the confessional at her first confession.

@JohnMcCloy He isn't president obama.

🔥🤔DO YOU SEE IT YET?? Michelle Obama is in Beverly Hills having dinner with their kids. President Obama is in Austin, Texas pushing his hand picked Talarico for Senator while playing Masters of the Universe not retired. James Talarico is 36. He’s never been married. Zero public girlfriends or partners. He says he is straight but his only dating mention is one single line his own campaign team inserted in Texas Monthly. Talarico’s team noted that he had an active social life and dated the HOMECOMING QUEEN. He was the theater kid superstar in high school. EVERY single MSM piece like the NYT stresses he is always single and keeps his personal life extremely private. No student who actually went to McNeil High School with James Talarico in 2007 has EVER spoken publicly about him in any meaningful detailed way. Only teachers. And he’s running for Senate. Texas has only elected a gay Congress member in history once. It was 2024. They have NEVER elected an openly gay Senator. Talarico also went out of his way on a podcast to say “HE LOVES THE TRANS CHILDREN BEING ACTIVE & SHOWING UP FOR THEIR HUMANITY” Do we all see it yet? Or do we need to remind everyone of Kal Penn?
