🚨 JUST IN: The DOJ has released HIGH QUALITY security camera footage of attempted Trump assassin Cole Allen SPRINTING through the security checkpoint at WHCA’s dinner

Tell me, Muse, of the man who was wicked smaht

@nycexpatmom @enteio How did you pull your photos off Google? When I try it makes me do it in small batches until I eventually give up. It also turns auto backup back on my so it's taking all my phone photos no matter how many times I turn it off.

@Fun534658857717 Most neighborhoods in Enid have a tornado cellar every few houses. We had one and all the neighbors would show up when the warnings got serious.

@brandonwxOK I saw someone on tiktok have a underground shelter that fit like 10 people, wonder if there were those involved

0 fatalities reported from yesterday is really incredible. Generational performance from everyone involved in the warning process.

Thinking about this more, anything that makes a Pope feel akin to a President is not great. No pressure gaggles for Popes. No Presidents remarking on the popularity of Popes like poll numbers matter to them.

@amywelborn2 @carleolson I just wish Popes would stop talking on planes. I feel it's a small ask.

Still stewing on this. Will write more tomorrow, but honestly, what is this "unity" of which he speaks? I honestly don't understand what it is a where it lies in this scenario. Also, how strange to put things this way at the end of a pastoral visit to a continent where a major struggle in mission has involved dealing with stark, persistent differences in sexual morality and treatment of women in that regard.

Pope Leo, on the way back to Rome today, addressing the latest German play at rejecting Church teaching: “First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters,” he said. “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual, and in reality, I believe there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, the equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.” I respectfully believe that this approach is problematic. If the Church acts as if "same sex relationships" are, as the German document states, relationships "united in love," then it calls into question what the Church has always taught about love. Authentic love (friendship, familial, marital, etc) must be ordered by and toward truth. And homosexuality, fornication, etc., are not ordered by and toward truth. And this is something that affects everyone to one degree or another, and has an immediate and grave effect on how people view marriage, sexuality, and, ultimately, the social order. And since the Catholic Faith, at the heart, is ordered by Triune love and for Triune love, what the Church says and teaches about love—in this case, eros, but also agape—goes to the heart of what it means to be human. Saying "justice" and "equality" are more important than such matters sounds good, but is not entirely accurate, because a flawed notion of love undermines authentic justice and equality. Which is why, for example, St. Pope John Paul II, decades ago, wrote: "Not only must human life not be taken, but it must be protected with loving concern. The meaning of life is found in giving and receiving love, and in this light human sexuality and procreation reach their true and full significance. .... Sexuality, which enriches the whole person, 'manifests its inmost meaning in leading the person to the gift of self in love.' The trivialization of sexuality is among the principal factors which have led to contempt for new life. Only a true love is able to protect life." (EV 81, 97) This is 101 stuff. And this is not about "following rules" as much as it is about living the truth given by God, which is not limited to commandments and moral theology, but is built into our very bodies and beings.

Genuinely, what do you do if electric cars are the future but the pitch of the sound of them makes your brain melt? Can I pay for some kind of noise cancelling package that plays gas engine sounds to mask the whine?

@TNJDTNJD1 This is a condemned heresy. Marcionism

@DanielLMcAdams @BasedPoliticsUS @realannapaulina I’ve never heard that-where do I learn more?

Read the book of Enoch.

@Joeinblack @MaggieAnnCyr @Thereseatsea @CatholicSmark Father is saying the priesthood is uniquely hard. Not the only hard thing, but unique in its difficulties. And sure married life is also uniquely hard. But there are a lot of us going through it where the priesthood can be lonely and unseen. Sometimes we should just hear that.

No, if I may be so bold, I don’t think most people work like that. Most people have a job, priests have a vocation. As a general rule, we get one day off a week, but if someone dies or there’s an emergency, we lose that day. We are Sacramental ministers, as well as CEOs, CFO’s, and COO’s, usually of multimillion dollar nonprofit institutions for which we’ve received little or no training. These nonprofit businesses we are supposed to run are completely dependent on donations, but in the best way possible, we are not free as a general rule to refuse services. That means most of our “Customers” are people who come into our lives and require our services, for which we do not charge and then they are simply gone when their need is gone. For good and for Bad, The priesthood as lived in the United States is utterly unique,

This is not a judgment on the original poster, but I don’t think people realize how astoundingly, shockingly, amazingly overworked and underfunded the average Catholic priest is. Not only that, but I was at one, Parish that was doing borderline psychotic things at mass. Could I have just ran in and changed everything overnight and forced compliance? Yes What I did do was slowly built a relationship of trust through hard work, sacrifice, good teaching, and good example. Over the seven years that I moved that Parish from some sort of abomination to an actual Roman Catholic mass, my biggest fight was from the TLM Community down the road. They literally posted constantly about what a mess my Church was. The pastor publicly mocked it, they did all sorts of awful things. Members of that community would come onto our public YouTube feed and tell people how awful we were. Now, it’s many years later, and if you go back to that Parrish, they still have kneelers and statues, the Blessed Sacrament front and center, the people are saying the Roman Catholic Creed, and reading the proper readings, all of these beautiful things that happened because I was patient. Slowly bringing people into conversion is always better than imposing.

@Joeinblack We had a wonderful priest who was so good at this patient change. It was a delight to "watch him fishing" because he was a real fisher of men and knew when to reel in slow. Sadly though, when he left the new priest undid years of hard work in 1 Sunday.

So the harassment payoff fund is a way for the parties to keep track of dirt on their own members to keep them in line or get them out of the way when convenient right?

I get why this story is fascinating but calling it 10 missing scientists is inaccurate. Several of the missing worked in other capacities like admin or custodial. Anyone at LANL or related facilities needs security clearances. Doesn't make them all nuclear scientists.

I’ve never seen anything more accurate

Usual reminder that if you genuinely believe an image is blasphemous or otherwise immoral and scandalous you are obligated to NOT share it on social media

We actually do always throw a big baptism party. But I will say, as the new mother I've attended these in an absolute haze of exhaustion and/or physical pain and I'm lucky my husband is a great cook and host. There are some good reasons people keep it small for that sacrament.

My guess re Pentagon/Pope thing. Pentagon invited nuncio hoping to butter him up and get the Pope to either support or stay silent Nuncio was unbuttered and expressed Pope's position Pentagon said we're still going to do it. All left unhappy The end.

@jarvis_best Ted Talk hands are almost as bad as Tiktok hands

These are the exact same hand gestures that the NPR lady made while saying we need to stop letting truth get in the way of getting things done. All the main awfls must have gone to the same finishing school.

Trump says stuff that's clearly BS The BS stuff he says is sometimes unconscionably bad He does it to get leverage That doesn't make it ok And also should be so obvious as to be ineffective But people continue to take him seriously So it works So he'll keep doing it

A penny saved is a penny earned and all that but were I in need of the item I personally would not choose a Temu clearance protective vest.

@nosoup4knowles Scientology, not even once.

I am dying🤣🤣🤣
