🚨REUTERS finally reports last nights massacre of Christians in Nigeria calling them “gunmen” (not Muslim jihadists) who killed Christians due to “climate change” not their faith. The media is complicit and demonic with their lies! @Reuters WE ARE ON THE GROUND TO TELL THE TRUTH HERE!

During his Palm Sunday message yesterday, Pope Leo XIV said: "(Christ) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them." As a blanket statement, this is EXPLICITLY heterodoxical. We know from the Scriptures that Moses prayed and received victory in war, as did several Israelite kings such as David. In fact, whole chunks of the Psalms -- when David prayed for wartime victory over his enemies -- would now be in error according to Pope Leo XIV. Then there's the fact when Christ returns it will be with a robe dipped in blood and a sword in His mouth. But I'm sure that's merely decorative. Ironically, the best thing this pope accomplished with his hippy dippy Palm Sunday message is confirm my belief in Sola Scriptura. But let's take it further and look at this from an explicitly Catholic perspective. This would also be a repudiation of the history of the Catholic Church this pope presides over, which several times righteously went to war to preserve itself and the West. Which we should all still be thankful for today. For example, Pope Pius V attributed his legendary victory over the Ottomans (Muslims) in 1517 (the very year Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation) to the Rosary prayers of the faithful HE INSTRUCTED to pray. And that victory was considered such a supernatural miracle of prayer, that Pope Pius V was later sainted. I'm sure the Ottomans were repelled without any bloodshed. This from this pope is not a Christian sentiment in any way, shape, or form but a ridiculously hippy and worldly one. The kind of stuff fools who pray over blocks of ice and visit climate conferences think and say. And to ironically drop it in a message on the day Christ is welcomed to Jerusalem as the "son of David" -- who prayed many of those answered wartime prayers to God -- is especially revolting. Perhaps this pope should research if God answers the prayers of heretics?

The work that these historians Guelzo and Hankins (both of whom I've had on my podcast) are doing is invaluable. Follow their Substack, get their epic 2-volume history of the West, and use it to teach your children.

All of human history explained in 15 seconds.

One of the greatest quotes of all time (it is from Gustav Mahler, by the way).

1st, I wasn't aware that history IS actually being taught anymore. 2nd, no one has ever taught history by simply requiring students to memorize dates, but if students don't know the dates of important events or at least where to order them on a timeline, then they haven't learned history. 3rd, I agree that history IS a great, exciting story, and if a teacher presents it with a passion that brings the people and events to life, that enthusiasm and interest will be contagious.

Truth

SYRIA: A group of young Muslims entered the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Hama and tried to rape Christian girls. Brave Christian men fought them and kicked them out. They later returned with a government-backed mob, looted homes and properties, opened fire, and arrested several Christian men who they plan to execute. This is daily life for Christians living under Islamic rule.

We come to Mass not to dance, clap, focus on the priest, etc. Jesus is the reason why we come to Mass. Jesus is why we are Catholic. Not the priest and definitely not the Pope. We are Catholics because of Jesus.

The Palestinians literally held a public parade after slaughtering a mother and her two infants while parading their coffins around like it was the Super Bowl trophy If you want to reward them with a state, you’re nuts.

@BuzzPatterson Same face, same gesturing, same vapid blather -- this is just Gavin in a wig, right?

Can you imagine 4 years of this? We’ll all Jim Jones ourselves.

Mull this over. They’re holding “No Kings” protests in England. Think about it.

G. K. Chesterton explains that reading gives a man more lives than he was born with: “A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

He was given the keys to the Cathedral by the priests. They put him in charge of locking up and gave him verger duties. After he set it on fire, destroying the organ and organ loft, Fr Maire offered him a safe haven in his home to await trial. He proceeded to murder Fr Maire.

Finish the job, Mr. President! @MelanieLatest in @JNS_org jns.org/opinion/column…

Quoting from the Bible is a "war crime" now in the continent formerly known as Christendom.

Worse than the 70-80 million killed by Mao? Worse than the 20-60 million killed in Soviet Union? Worse than the millions of Hindus killed in Medieval India? Worse than the Arab slave trade of 14m Africans? The UN is just a tool for those who hate the West

@LarryTaunton Shrinkage!

Water seems a bit cold.

Schoolchildren Are Converting to Islam 'Out of Fear' in German Schools Something is happening in German classrooms that the authorities have been slow to name. Christian children are converting to Islam, not out of conviction, but out of fear. More and more parents are turning to counselling centres, a state security officer told the German tabloid Bild, because their children want to convert simply to avoid being outsiders at school. The pressure is not subtle. In cities like Berlin and Frankfurt, Muslim pupils now make up more than 80 per cent of the student body in some schools, the product of eight years of mass immigration from Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Many of these children come from strictly observant families, and they bring their expectations with them. Girls who dress in a westernised way or mix with boys are warned by male classmates to correct their behaviour. The security officer was direct: male Muslim students can appear threatening and sometimes violent in enforcing these norms. Parallel societies, he said, are emerging within the schools themselves. A study by the Criminal Research Institute of Lower Saxony puts numbers to the ideology behind the pressure. Of the Muslim students surveyed, 67.8 per cent believe the Koran takes precedence over German law. Nearly half support Islamic theocracy as the best form of government. More than a third say they can understand violence against those who insult the Prophet. One in five believes the perceived threat to Islam from the West justifies Muslims defending themselves violently. These are not the views of a fringe. They are the views of students sitting in German classrooms today. And the response of the non-Muslim children around them is entirely rational, which is what makes it so troubling. You conform, or you become a target. Some are choosing a third option: they convert. Germany is not sleepwalking into this. It walked in with its eyes open and called it tolerance.
