@ServusDeiVivi The thing is girls develop devotions too. My daughter is 13 years old and has been an altar server for 4 years. Absolutely loves it and it has helped her become more interested in her faith.

@Scrapper251 I can understand their perspective with female altar servers. While nothing is generally "wrong" with having them, ideally they would be males so they can get a feel for what the role of the Priest/Deacon is if they want to seek a vocation as one. But there's nothing "wrong".

"Why was Pope Francis so hard on the trads?" This. This is why. Maria may be in the minority (God willing) but dammit is she, and everyone like her, extremely vocal. She could see 3,800 converts and rejoice, but nah, they're all Protestants because of what they wear.

@Papakanimmo @MeachamDr Same

@MeachamDr Lmaoooo Trump is so bad I truly hesitated and almost believed he really wrote this 🤣

@Agratefulheart_ Post partum is sooooo hard. After my second child was born, I had contractions for 2 weeks straight everytime she nursed. I was fatigued and cried a lot.

Influencer moms are some of the most odious people. "Postpartum is easy" Girlllll I know you're sweating and crying at 2am like the rest of us.

@Nance726 Same. It is very sad.

I never in my life thought I’d hear myself say this. At this point, the difference between democrats and republicans is so negligible that I truly believe that to be faithfully Catholic in the United States is to be politically agnostic.

@gabydvj We say "plato ondo"

recently my parents, whose first language is spanish, and i (ESL also) spent an entire day trying to remember the spanish word for “bowl.” none of the google translate results felt right. we still aren’t sure. we landed on: ból. and people say assimilation is impossible

@Almutawakkil560 Thank you.

As Muslims, we are not just with you; we are a part of you. Our Islamic faith commands us to protect you, treat you with kindness, and uphold justice for you. What Israel has done confirms that it respects no religion, no sanctity, and not even any human being.

@sneako Thank you!

Happy Palm Sunday to the Catholics

@buckleycarlson Also this...where are the so called Christian leaders?

Did you know that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has been closed by the IDF? So, too, el Aqsa Mosque? Yet, synagogues in Jerusalem remain open? American church leaders, where are you?

@WellsJorda89710 Is this what you say Christians are required to support? As a Christian I denounce violence on any innocent group of people.

🚨Christians Are COMMANDED Throughout Scripture to Stand with the Jewish People & Israel — From Genesis to Revelation.🚨 God’s Word doesn’t leave room for debate. Here’s the biblical proof: Old Testament Foundation: - Genesis 12:3 — God to Abraham (father of the Jewish people): “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” - Psalm 122:6 — “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure.’” Those who love and pray for Jerusalem will prosper. - Isaiah 40:1 — “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem...” God directly commands His people (including Gentiles) to comfort and stand with Israel. New Testament Confirmation: - John 4:22 — Jesus Himself declared: “Salvation is from the Jews.” Our Messiah came through the Jewish people. - Romans 11:17-18, 29 — Paul warns Gentile believers: “You, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree. Do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches... It is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.” And: “God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.” The Jewish people remain the root — we are grafted in by grace, not replacement. - Romans 15:27 — Gentiles “owe it to the Jews” to share material blessings because we have shared in their spiritual ones. The Bottom Line: God’s covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are everlasting. The Church doesn’t replace Israel — we are joined to her root through faith in the Jewish Messiah, Jesus. To stand with the Jewish people is to align with God’s heart and promises. To oppose or abandon them risks standing against the God who chose them. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Bless those God calls “My people.” Stand with Israel and the Jewish people — it’s not optional. It’s obedience to Scripture. ✝️🙏🇮🇱

@crunchycozygirl She was my confirmation saint! I love her Little Way!

I’ve chosen St Thérèse of Lisieux for my Confirmation Saint. I wanted to choose a Saint I felt connected to and who resonated with my struggles with homesickness, which I know will be a constant theme in my life moving forward. St. Thérèse seemed to be the perfect fit.

@MrsCMFrancis I am Catholic. I consider evangelicals to be my brothers and sisters in Christ. I admire many evangelicals and wish we could be united in our love for Christ rather than divided over things that detract from that.

As an Evangelical, I absolutely think that I have many brothers and sister in the Catholic Church. I am asking this sincerely: do Catholics feel the same? (P.s. any bashing on either side in the comments is getting an instant block)

Hit me with the image that best describes your feelings of never getting the covid "vaccine."

@TheStaad I know how you feel. I live in Canada and during COVID pur bishop sent out a letter saying anyone in a ministry over 12 needed to show proof of vaccination. Some parishoners totally agreed with that too!It took me a couple of years to get over that.

Catholic bishops talking about climate change, illegal immigration and “antisemitism” is discouraging to say the least I can see why Orthodoxy is an attractive option for those who long for tradition. I have a ton of respect for the Orthodox But Christ started one Church, and I believe that is the Catholic Church. I try to look at it from a 30,000 foot view rather than as a current snapshot Do I want to go where I’m most comfortable? Or do I want to be obedient? I don’t have to understand or even agree with everything. I just have to trust that Jesus will not forsake or forget that which He began I’m in this for the long haul

@HarrisonHSmith I am a millenial with Zoomer son. I will do anything to stop him from being drafted to war.

Operation Zoomer Shield is go.

@BasedSamParker U r not the only one. At this point, I would rather believe he was not the boy scout we thought he was than to think he was done dirty by everyone in his life.

One thing (of many) that has bothered me about the Charlie Kirk narrative was his lack of "success" with women. Stay with me here. Charlie Kirk was a 6'5" athlete, with a good intellect & normie-tier politics. Maybe not the best looking guy, but it's not like his cupboard was bare. Women like tall men of influence. He basically spent about 7 years at a single guy hanging around exclusively college kids, becoming the most popular college influencer in America & building real power. The guy was friends with many powerful, rich, connected people. He was the ideal man for legions of women. He should have had girls THROWING themselves at him. He should have had his pick of women. We should have heard stories about who Charlie Kirk was dating. Gossip. Rumors. Etc. He was a certified, bona-fide 20s-something American hero celebrity. But that's not how it all went down. Instead, we heard there were no girlfriends. That he was a virgin until Erika (good for him if true, btw). No sexual encounters, whatsoever—which, if the rumors about many others in TPUSA are to be believed—is extremely anomalous! He was allegedly surrounded by all kinds of people who were sexually active—gay and straight alike! TPUSA is filled with college coeds for its ambassadors. Smart girls, hot girls, motivated girls, calculating girls, politically connected girls, etc. Girls with multiple combinations of those traits. Yet Charlie spurned every single one? Couldn't land even one single girlfriend? Didn't have one fling? Never once got his groove on? Never once succumbed to the horde of women beating down his door? And then, when he did get married at 27, it was to a 32-year old woman. No offense, ladies, but I was once in my 20s. And men in their mid 20s see women in their 30s as ancient. Old as the hills. Washed up. Why marry a 32-year old when you can snag a 22-year old? That's like a 10-year warranty! This is how the vast majority of men in their 20s think. And Charlie had no shortage of access to women in their early 20s. It's weird. And on top of that, the woman he married hadn't been able to maintain a relationship herself into her 30s. That alone is a major red flag for men. Not to mention the many alleged lies she's told. IMO, she lies a lot. About everything. Surely Charlie would have picked up on that. It's really unattractive. People say Charlie had no game. But the "Bob's Burgers" story where he straight up told her he wanted to date her, not hire her, was a total Chad move. I'm sorry, but something about the Charlie Kirk story just isn't adding up for me. I honestly don't know what, but the math ain't mathing. Am I the only one?

@albertanbeech Maximus is a great name.

Want to name our next son Victor cause it goes so hard but my bf is like absolutely not lol Maximus? Also goes hard I’m not pregnant. Just dreaming. Give me a 3rd son I’m building an army

Idk who needs to hear this, but you don't have to be loyal to the President of the United States Especially if you are a Christian, you shouldn't be loyal to anyone but Christ and His Kingdom When authority becomes a terror to good works, it is no longer legitimate authority

@PhilWhittlesee @TheStaad Same. Isn't it insane to lose friends because we don't believe in unjust wars?

@TheStaad You're not wrong. It sucks, but here we are. I've lost a good friend over it. Nothing can be done about it. So we pray and move on, and wait for things to be perfected by God, later, elsewhere.

You can’t reason with people who defend Trump, Zionism, the war, or even the current system I think that human minds are not far enough along to overcome decades of programming — even among some of the most intelligent and successful people Critical thinkers are indeed outliers and are not enough in number to force a real change This is a disheartening reality Unless I’m wrong, which I would welcome wholeheartedly

Asked about the words of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who during a briefing went so far as to quote Psalm 144 to invoke a divine blessing on the ongoing attack, Cardinal Pizzaballa replied that “as believers we must do everything possible not to leave the discourse to them. We need to say that no, there are no new crusades. If God is present in this war, He is among those who are dying, who are suffering, who are in pain, who are oppressed in various ways”— Amen!! asianews.it/news-en/Cardin…
