@PhilKlay Had to memorize it, as punishment. I was in 2nd grade. My father, that beautiful b@stard, was demanding.

“From these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”

@PhilKlay I need not go to copilot and ask, "can you pull all the best quotes?" Just check you out on Twitter.

‘As Plato wrote, the deepest and most important things are learned only after much time and effort, by engaging in discussion with others, “striking upon” ideas and experiences together like flint until the spark of understanding is kindled within us.’

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@AP Appropriate, and good, to repeat recent popes. There were grave abuses against Jews, Muslims, & pagans, often by sons of the Church. Catholics like myself should embrace his apology.

@DSDOConnor @Hughes69Kevin Not being able to quantify (and therefore count) non-market production is a dilemma. We KNOW raising children is labor-intensive and also valuable. I don't think the pope's articulation rejects the UBI alternative to current welfare state.

@Hughes69Kevin I mean, I'm sure proposals you allude to exist. But I don't think they'd be rightly characterized as UBI.

@Popesplainerman @austeni Silence? How can you accuse the bishops of silence? Anyone, Catholic or not, should know what the bishops have said abt abortion. Good grief.

@austeni I wonder 100 years from now, if the current pope at that time will condemn the silence on the part of so many bishops about the evil of abortion???

In Fratelli Tutti Francis asked why it took so long for the Church to condemn slavery. In Magnifica Humanitas Leo goes further, noting how the Church was actively complicit in its institution.

@PhilKlay Ditto 'Belfast' (the movie), which captured well Catholics & Protestants, for the most part, living in peace as neighbors. Rabble rouses gonna do their thing

@PhilKlay When historical memory fades... Impressive to me (reading 'The Source' combined w/ my own checking) is that Jew, Christian, & Muslim lived in relative peace much of the time in the Levant. Always forces, usually a minority, who foment unrest.

When historical memory fades and the ethical principles that protect civilians and the most vulnerable are weakened, it becomes easier to justify violence as necessary, inevitable or even “sanitized.” It is in this context that humanity is slipping into a violent culture of power

@jennfrey Phenomenal to read it (and far easier bc shorter). Save for the outdated language / terms, it remains relevant & applicable today.

@mattmurphyshow I oppose demagogues, right & left. And when they win, as surely they do have a comparative advantage in electoral politics, my hope is that their nonsense stays within normal parameters.

@fotsch1 If he were balanced, pointing out insanity on the right, I'd respect what he has to say. He's not balanced.

I agree with Bishop Barron. and… fwiw… I would eliminate all federal dollars going to Catholic Charities, immediately. Return that money to the people. Let us Catholics, and others who want to, donate (tax deductible as is the case today) to Catholic Charities if they do real good. — Catholic my whole life p.s. Catholic Charities get $4.5B, in total, $3.5B of it is federal, state and local tax dollars.
Fox News Politics@foxnewspolitics

EXCLUSIVE: Bishop Barron blasts the Catholic left for 'demonization' of Trump, says there are 'moral reasons' to support border enforcement — citing child trafficking and thousands of missing kids. He wants dialogue, not lectures: 'Let's build bridges of conversation. That's a role the Church can play.'
