Just a Catholic dad and businessman... retweets do not necessarily equal endorsements... everything I say is satire (or is it?).
@MLJHaynes @LPJerusalem The Church is in the Jewish state. Only Israel decides on matters of security.
JUST IN: Israeli Police prevented Cardinal Pizzaballa from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre today, as he went to say Mass. @LPJerusalem calls it a “grave precedent” which “constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure.” Full statement from @LPJerusalem below —— Joint Press Release The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land Holy City of Jerusalem Palm Sunday, 29 March 2026 This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, the official Guardian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass. The two were stopped en route, while proceeding privately and without any characteristics of a procession or ceremonial act, and were compelled to turn back. As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This incident is a grave precedent,and disregard the sensibilities of billions of people around the world who, during this week, look to Jerusalem. The Heads of the Churches have acted with full responsibility and, since the outset of the war, have complied with all imposed restrictions: public gatherings were cancelled, attendance was prohibited, and arrangements were made to broadcast the celebrations to hundreds of millions of faithful worldwide, who, during these days of Easter, turn their eyes to Jerusalem and to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Preventing the entry of the Cardinal and the Custos, who bear the highest ecclesiastical responsibility for the Catholic Church and the Holy Places, constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure. This hasty and fundamentally flawed decision, tainted by improper considerations, represents an extreme departure from basic principles of reasonableness, freedom of worship, and respect for the Status Quo. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land express their profound sorrow to the Christian faithful in the Holy Land and throughout the world that prayer on one of the most sacred days of the Christian calendar has thus been prevented.
“Stop pretending there’s no difference between the girl who guarded her purity and the one who didn’t. And for the love of God, stop claiming the ex-promiscuous woman is somehow purer now. That’s not biblical — that’s cope on steroids.” That really hit me hard. I guarded my purity quite strongly as a young woman. My husband is my one and only. I’ve taught my girls the same and they are doing quite well. My husband fell in love with me because of my innocence. He didn’t know from the offset that I was a virgin, but he knew I was pure, and he was attracted to that. What Rage says is correct, and it’s the real issue at hand. We are trying to raise godly and pure young people. Encouraging young women that they can be “more pure than a virgin” is a slap in the face to me and my girls. Encouraging young men to forgive and forget a girl’s past is dangerous for my son. And yours. I don’t deny that God forgives and heals. I’m happy for Trevor’s wife. But glorifying degeneracy is what got us here. And that’s what he’s doing, whether or not he realizes it.
Can’t for the life of me figure out why the LPGA can’t just put the Korda sisters together for the first two rounds of the Ford. The tour has to find ways to break through March Madness, MLB opening day and Masters buildup. First time in the same LPGA field since 2023, just give fans what they want! Instead, the Kordas aren’t even in the same wave! Nelly off in the AM and Jessica in the PM tomorrow. Put them in the same TV window. This is the tour making it harder than it needs to be.

⭕️Folks, I don't know about the talks with Iran, but what I do know is the reality on the ground: 4,500 Marines (2 MEUs), 3,000 paratroopers from the All-American 82nd Airborne Division, the 75th Ranger Battalion, the 160th SOAR, Delta Force, and more. This is a massive elite force, and in a few days, they will reach the Middle East. If Iran thought it was bad until now, they are about to discover the real might of the US military. God bless the United States and our armed forces. 🫡🇺🇸
"Death from Above" has been a thing since the catapult and longbow. The fact that Leo says things like this proves he's just a run of the mill bleeding heart shitlib that doesnt really think deeply about these things. As always, pray for the Holy Father.
Pope Leo says airstrikes should be banned: "No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky." - Reuters
JUST ASKING QUESTIONS ... Did Joe Kent leak classified information to the media and Woke Reich neo-Fascists in violation of the Espionage Act? Did any of the parties to whom he reportedly/allegedly leaked share the information with Qatar or other countries? What did Qatarlson mean when he volunteered in his video statement that his texts were reviewed by the CIA and he was under investigation for violating FARA? Who told him that? Just asking questions and seeking answers.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.
