A play on the old adage “Servants in Heaven; Kings in Hell.” Except being a king in hell is no glorious thing, unless you enjoy ruling over the remains of a lifeless, ruined kingdom. Serving in Heaven, however, is an honour that glorifies God, you, and the World.

The reason Single Player MMOs break people's brains is because the design philosophy makes no sense Imagine making a theme park for one person Imagine making a single player World of Warcraft Imagine making Final Fantasy 12 Oh wait... #FF12

Single player MMO designed games break people’s brains. Honestly this discourse makes me glad Xenoblade Chronicles X didn’t sell well and remains super niche. People still aren’t ready for that game lol

@rondon216 @CarriePrejean1 Oslo Accords provided for it. Israel never handed off leadership to them as the transition period was meant to ensure they didn’t retain alliances either foreign enemies intent on sabotaging Israel. That and Hamas vetoed the PLO’s acceptance of it the two state solution.

"And what about the Palestinians right to self-determination or right to exist? Do they not possess that same God-given dignity?" Indeed they do. A two state compromise would grant that. Problem is, Hamas doesn't want that. "From the river to the sea" isn't a sightseeing slogan.

Carrie Prejean Boller@CarriePrejean1·
Your Excellency, I am seeking clarity, because what is being implied here is deeply concerning for Christians. Under the IHRA definition, denying the Jewish people a right to self-determination, even stating that the modern State of Israel is a historical and political movement rather than a divine mandate, is now called antisemitism. It also includes this example: “Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.” Under this framework, if a people’s right to self-determination is perceived to be threatened, does that mean they are justified in using unlimited force, even against the innocent, in the name of preserving it? Because the Church is clear that no nation has the right to do evil. Self-defense has moral limits, and the deliberate killing of the innocent is never justified. And what about the Palestinians right to self-determination or right to exist? Do they not possess that same God-given dignity? If one people’s claim to self-determination is elevated to the point where it overrides moral law or denies the rights of another people, then we are no longer talking about justice, but a dangerous double standard. This is not a minor matter. It touches the very heart of the Gospel. As Catholics, we are not bound to believe that the events of 1948 constitute the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. You agreed with me on this church teaching. Christ Himself is the fulfillment of the promises, and His Kingdom is not of this world. No modern state, including Israel, is exempt from moral judgment. I am being called an antisemite for stating this truth. The Church’s just war doctrine is clear that war must meet strict conditions, and the intentional killing of the innocent is never permitted. When innocent lives are being killed whether in Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran, Catholics have a duty to speak, because this is not only a political issue, but a moral one. We cannot be afraid to criticize the Israeli government at the fear of being name called. Sacred Scripture speaks boldly about the Passion of Our Lord: “For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets…” (1 Thessalonians 2:14–15). The Church clearly teaches that this does not assign collective guilt to all Jews in every time and place. Such an interpretation is false and must be rejected. But neither can the Word of God be set aside, softened, or treated as though it were hate speech. Would Pope Innocent III be called an antisemite today? What about Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome, Gregory the Great, Basil the Great, Athanasius, Gregory Nazianzus, and John Chrysostom? Would they now be labeled as such for the truth they received? I respectfully ask you, are Christians now expected to deny Sacred Scripture, or hesitate to proclaim the Passion of Christ, and remain silent to comply with a modern political definition? Because that is exactly what this now appears to demand. The witnesses at the hearing you missed claimed that anti-Zionism is hatred of Jews. Do you agree with that? Because if rejecting Zionism, whether as a political ideology or a theological claim, is now called hatred of a people, then we have crossed a grave line. This is no longer simply about condemning hatred. It becomes a question of whether Catholics are free to hold and profess what the Church teaches. I was not removed because I hijacked the hearing. I was removed because I dared to speak truth to power. Catholics must remain free to proclaim that Christ is the fulfillment of all promises, that His Kingdom is not of this world, and that no modern state carries a divine mandate in the way some claim. As a successor to the Apostles, it is important that you provide clarity. I’d appreciate you taking this from here, I really would love to go back to cooking, planting, and being a mother, and a wife.
Bishop Robert Barron@BishopBarron

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

Rick Miller@RickWMiller1·
Carrie’s reply is rhetorically polished, but it still dodges the central issue and wraps it in a series of false conflations. She keeps moving from one claim to another as if they are the same thing: •rejecting dispensationalism •criticizing Israel •denying unlimited force •opposing civilian deaths •rejecting antisemitism definitions she dislikes •defending her own conduct Those are not all the same question. And that is exactly how she keeps obscuring the real issue. First, Bishop Barron already agreed on the core theological point. Christ fulfills the promises. The modern State of Israel is not the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. No Catholic is required to hold Christian Zionism. So that is not the disputed issue. She keeps returning to it because it is the safest part of her position. Second, she keeps replacing the real question with a more dramatic one. The issue was not whether Catholics may criticize Israel. Of course they may. The issue was not whether innocent civilians may be deliberately killed. Catholic doctrine already answers that. The issue was whether her conduct and rhetoric were fitting, truthful, prudent, and properly Catholic. That is what Bishop Barron addressed. She does not really answer that. She changes the subject. Third, her use of Scripture is still slippery. Yes, 1 Thessalonians 2 must be read as Scripture. No, it may not be turned into a blunt slogan about “the Jews killed Christ” in a way the Church has already corrected. Catholic teaching is explicit that collective guilt may not be assigned to all Jews then or now. So when she raises that passage as though the real danger is Christians being forbidden to quote the Bible, she is fighting a straw man. No one told her to deny Scripture. The Church is telling her to read it correctly. Fourth, the appeal to the Fathers does the same thing. Quoting Augustine, Chrysostom, or others does not let her flatten the Church’s teaching into a crude formula. The Fathers do not override the Church’s authoritative clarification. Strong polemical language in history is not a license for imprecision now. Fifth, “I was removed because I dared to speak truth to power” is not an argument. It is self-dramatization. Bishop Barron’s point was straightforward: not belief, but behavior. She keeps substituting martyr language for evidence. That is the pattern. Correction becomes persecution. Clarification becomes cowardice. Accountability becomes anti-Catholic bias. And finally, the closing line about wanting to “go back to cooking, planting, and being a mother, and a wife” is emotional framing, not substance. Domestic vocation does not prove one’s public conduct was sound. It is another attempt to cast herself as the innocent victim rather than answer the charge directly. So the problem with this reply is not that she says some true things. She does. The problem is that she uses those true things as cover for what Bishop Barron actually corrected. She keeps retreating to the parts Catholics already agree with, while refusing to squarely face the issue he raised. That is why she still does not get it.

The Jews did kill Jesus. That is just a fact, and the statement that “The Jews killed Jesus” is hyperbolic language, a generalization used to make a point. Obviously not every Jew killed Jesus. Many Jews converted to Christianity. But we as Catholics should be able to make that hyperbolic statement without any repercussions.

@caruss18 @AgentSands18 @TSN_Sports Especially when we consider the clear mistakes he’s made because of his inexperience. The fact that those mistakes don’t destroy his numbers entirely proves that when he’s playing conservatively he’s playing at an impressive level. I just think the case can be made both ways.

@caruss18 @AgentSands18 @TSN_Sports 🤷‍♂️ Nobody thought Sennecke was going to be performing at the level he is. Defying all expectations, and as a young forward from the OHL to come in and be trying new things but still have great defensive numbers as an offensive player is, imho, equally as impressive.

@TheSchaefather @TSN_Sports There definitely is a case. Sennecke has been performing offensively and for a rookie to have as good numbers as he has defensively on a team with a negative goal differential is nothing short of incredible.

@caruss18 @AgentSands18 @TSN_Sports Oh for sure, but the Calder race is about the rookie season, right? I think all three of our top nominations this season have their drawbacks. Ultimately I’m trying to draw attention to the fact that Schaefer isn’t necessarily the slam dunk for Calder that people say.
