@JamesMartinSJ I've been a lapsed Catholic for almost 30 years...but even I would agree the Pope is unquestionably and eminently qualified to "opine" (aka present his thoroughly educated conclusions) on matters of theology.

James Martin, SJ@JamesMartinSJ·
Yes, he really said that. Yesterday Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo XIV for not knowing enough theology: "I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology ... If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth," he said, at a Turning Point conference. One of the many, many, ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace and, specifically, the concept of "just war," which originated with St. Augustine. As many have already noted, when the Vice President was making his comments, Pope Leo XIV, a member of the Augustinian Order, and twice Prior General of the Augustinians before his election as Pope, was visiting the hometown of St. Augustine, then called "Hippo," now in Annaba, a town in modern-day Algeria. For good measure, Pope Leo XIV, the man critiqued for insufficient theological education, earned not only a master's degree in divinity, but also licentiate and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. JD Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism is beside the point, because many converts are of course not only highly intelligent (and learned in theology) but faithful and energetic Catholics. We rejoice over everyone entering the church. What most of us do not rejoice over, however, is a deadly combination of inaccuracy and hubris. Pace, Vice President Vance, but the current war in Iran is not a just war under Catholic doctrine. You can hear that from church leaders from across the theological spectrum, from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the head of the military vicariate and former head of the @USCCB, to Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington who holds doctorates in both theology and political science. You can look all that up online. Suffice to say, the Vice President doesn't seem to understand the tenets of just war. Nor does he seem to understand the fundamental position of the church, which is for peace. "War is always a defeat for humanity," as St. John Paul II said. If that authority isn't enough, then turn to Jesus who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers," not "Blessed are the warmongers." And after the Resurrection, the Risen Christ says to the frightened disciples not "Vengeance is mine" but "Peace be with you." Incidentally, the day before, the Vice President said that the Pope (and the Vatican) should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. For his part, Pope Leo was focused yesterday on his spiritual father, St. Augustine. After what seemed like an emotional visit to Hippo, he celebrated Mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. During his homily he said, "The primary task of pastors as ministers of the Gospel is therefore to bear witness to God before the world with one heart and one soul, not permitting our concerns to lead us astray through fear, nor trends to undermine us through compromise." Amen. Let's all continue to pray for the Holy Father as he works for peace. (Image: Pope Leo XIV prays at the archeological ruins of Hippo, home of St. Augustine, in current-day Algeria. CNS photo).

A man who is 15 years older than me has been messaging me for a few weeks. I initially politely declined his interest in “getting to know each other,” and have not been replying to any of his messages since. Today he sent me this message: “I need to teach you that the virtue of an intelligent woman is to listen when a man of substance is speaking .” 🚩 He might as well put up a billboard that says he is a controlling narcissist.

@luxemiaa This is the correct response. Encourage her early and often to *embarrass* men when they act inappropriately, to her or to the women around her!

This woman said: Guys I am not ok. I was at the store with my daughter and while she went down the isle to grab a big fluffy pillow, some guy walked up to me and said damn girl, you got a fat 🍑. I turned around to respond but didnt get a chance. My daughter overheard him and b4 i could say anything she said "what did that guy say to you?!" Without missing a beat my 11 yr old turned to him and yelled, "what did you say to my mother bitch?!" "YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE YOU PUNK ASS CRUSTY DUSTY MUSTY BITCH!" I was 💀😱 .......

If there’s any concern over the pitch count for Paul Skenes, just remember he won’t pitch in another meaningful game until the 2030 WBC.

@marxiners The good news is, WBC is now and World Series isn't until October/November...it's entirely possible that both can happen. It's not like he said, "I would skip the World Series to go try to win the WBC" - I don't understand why everyone is acting like this is an either/or.

@AllThingsCivil TBH, she’ll fit right in. The USAF seems to have a weird overt religiosity among some senior leaders that I haven’t observed in other services.
