@CDamianWrites @BrianFragaNCR An answer that could have been given that could have been believed by a charitable hearer is “I was visiting my family and my nephew got ahold of my phone and decided to follow a bunch of accounts like that as a prank.”
He’d have to have this excuse often, but it might work.
English
A few months ago, I shared how Bishop Barron had followed provocative male accounts on his Facebook. Word on Fire explained it away, saying he had been the subject of a recent hack.
The problem? He had followed similar accounts, going at least as far back as January 2024...

I’m basically the bottom right corner.
Abolish AI.

Who should I add to this? Also, did I get anyone's view wrong?
English
@mary_pezzulo That’s what defines their morality: production of soldiers. Abortion is bad because it decreases future soldiers. Being gay is bad because it decreases future soldiers (mitigated to grudging tolerated by IVF, surrogacy, adoption).
English
@IamDCHiggins Unironically, I know this is one of their reasons.
English
I do not understand the "teen fertility crisis" thing. Do you have any idea how horrified conservatives were by teen pregnancy in the 90s and early oughts? Getting pregnant was the most shameful and destructive thing a teen could do, until suddenly it wasn't.

@JLTPoetry @Pontifex Every billionaire is a thief or a child of a thief.
English
@Pontifex No billionaire has done a billion dollars worth of work. Nobody becomes rich through ethical means. It always requires trampling on the dignity of other people and exploiting the hard work of others.
English
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@legalstyleblog @TypoDynamofo What if any rights do we still have?
English
At this point there needs to be a modification to Miranda where the suspect is handed a copy the sacred Spell of Attorney Request to know how to chant the specific words magically invoking the right to counsel.
Orin Kerr@OrinKerr
From 2016: Defendant who is asked to sign consent form to allow search but replies, "I ain't signing shit without my attorney," has not invoked the 5th Amendment right to counsel, per Missouri SCT. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…

@sentantiq Could he doing a prayer for peace or warning people that means other than prayer are at his disposal, and they any further aggression will not be acceptable?
English
Papal prayer for peace in Latin and the trad-classics cloud instead spends its time complaining it is neither classical nor medieval all the while staying silent about the ongoing conflict.
I am on team pope bad latin for this one.
Leo Papa XIV@Pontifex_ln

@ShaneEthridge @Botbiases Maybe he’s the next Attorney General
English
@Botbiases It’s a lawyer in Arkansas that has been trying very hard to endear himself to MAGA people but he’s never gotten to be a Trump lawyer yet.
English
If a Judge ever wrote something like this in an order about me I’d probably melt right into the ground never to be seen again.

@IamDCHiggins @ChristopherHale @janecoaston is there another bishop who fits the role better?
Can think of two: Cardinal Erdo (Hungarian Cardinal, a close ally of Orban) - a finalist of the 2024 Conclave along w/ Cardinal Prevost (now Pope Leo), and Cardinal Burke (an ultra-conservative favorite of traditional Catholics)
English
@HackBlackburn Bishop Barron is the more probable candidate
English
Marco Rubio realising he has to move to Avignon and be the Antipope
Christopher Hale@ChristopherHale
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
English
@KatiePMcGrady If that were the kind of pope news we were going to expect as the norm, someone else—someone with JPII’s charisma and probably someone from the global south—would have been elected Pope.
English
The Pope news I really thought we’d all be talking about today
English
@mary_pezzulo He doesn’t want to die like pope Francis and queen elizabeth after shaking his hand. Sure it’s martyrdom, but it’s still super undignified as a martyrdom.
English
I have a feeling he doesn't want to talk to you.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
JD VANCE: With no disrespect to the cardinal, I don't know who Cardinal Christophe Pierre is REPORTER: He's the ambassador to the Holy Sea and US VANCE: Okay, I've met him before. Sorry. I just didn't remember the name. I've never seen this reporting. I'd like to talk to him.

@IanRunkle She was absolutely not emotionally intelligent. That’s the basis of so much of her story. She is analytical when looking at others, but personally impulsive.
English
Lack of filter, plus emotional intelligence. What?
Hermione's power was actually just being smart. Just straight up smart.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
HBO's Harry Potter casting director Lucy Bevan describes Hermoine: "Hermione, lack of filter from being an only child. Her superpower is her emotional intelligence. She's got main-character energy." What are your expectations for her role in the series?
English
@ChristopherHale @janecoaston Am I being uncharitable when I suspect that Bishop is being groomed to be the antipope in the American schism/Avignon scenario? It would explain his actions.
Or is there another bishop who fits the role better?
How many American Catholics would go along with schism?
English
It’s wild.
“In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture.
“America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.
“As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…

I did not expect a Western Schism moment, this is very exciting for me

@IsilikHitzEgin @ultras_antifaa She probably wouldn’t disagree with the misquote.
English
A woman speaking during Margaret Thatcher’s funeral:
“Don't you think she did any good?”
“Not a bit of good, not a bit. I'd put a stake through her heart and a garrot around her neck to make sure she never came back.”
English
Everyone was mad over a Hegseth memo last week because THAT was supposed to be an attack on Catholicism but I haven't seen anyone nearly as angry that they were *trying to threaten the Pope with an anti-pope*

@IraninSA @BlackestofLies Is the leash for Israel or Trump? The grammar allows for both. Or do you mean both?
English
Hey Trump, if you don’t have a leash for the rabid dog, Israel, should we get one for you?
English
Am I reading the ceasefire agreements correctly? Israel doesn’t seem to be a party to it at all.
