@wild_one1998 I disagree with you about "most woke", but yes, I agree, we do have the most migrants. It's very common - migrants come to benefit from our success... then 5 minutes later tell us we should be more like the countries they fled.

New study on the Amish in America… ~10,000 women Only 4% are childless. Only 9% have less than 3 children. The average number of children is 7.2

@RedemTheTimes Well, out of the groups taking procreation seriously, I'm rooting for the Amish.

@maicononze11 @jardiniernormie So, I don't think this conflict with Iran was a good idea. But, what you said is also objectively false. Global deaths used to be a lot worse... civil war, ww2, European wars, etc. The overall trend through the centuries has been fewer per capita conflicts and deaths, not more.

@maicononze11 @jocalex8 @jardiniernormie Then maybe the Pope should not have posted this. I think the first sentence and the last one are false. The first one is spiritual, so you can 'interpret' it however you like. The last one is historically, objectively false - so much so that it's absurd. x.com/Pontifex/statu…
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@maicononze11 @jardiniernormie Without violent conflict, most, if not all, existing countries would not exist, including the US and the Vatican. That's an objective fact. According to you, George Washington was in the wrong during the US revolution. He prayed and killed.

@BillArnoldTeach It's funny. Like all migrants, Catholics think America would be better if it became more like the countries they fled... why aren't you in one of the many Catholic countries making them "greater"?

Fox News’ Sean Hannity wonders if Pope Leo XIV has “even read the Bible” in response to his anti-conflict stance. “Has he ever heard of David and Goliath?”

While the number of 30-year-old women with children has fallen dramatically from 90% in the 1960s to under 50% today, still about 90% of women eventually have children by the end of their child-bearing years. It's actually higher today than in the 1990s and early 2000s

@Catholic_bro @frankmartin1954 @Pontifex First, you don't know that. Second, the Pope wasn't just talking about "this conflict", which I have questions about myself. He said "any conflict". That is very obviously a false biblical teaching.

@margot39538 @PowerOwn45 Sure, specifically calling on political leaders to more equitably distribute wealth isn't political at all, assumes no 'policy'... and has nothing to do with "redistributing". Whatever you say.

The Church isn’t taxing anyone or redistributing wealth. It teaches moral principles about charity and justice. How those principles get applied in policy is a separate question, and Catholics are free to disagree on that. You’re arguing against government action, not against the Church’s teaching.

I meant it when I said I don’t have anything against Catholics. Hell I wrote one in for POTUS in the last election. But when you tell me I can’t have an opinion about a Pope who is all too willing to share his opinion about America, I’m gonna act like an American and speak my opinion in a louder voice. Blessing a block of ice in the name of climate change is stupid. Echoing economically illiterate talking points about how wealth should be distributed is stupid. The Pope is a man. He is not above critique. If you want to pretend that he’s not, fine, but don’t get butthurt when pushback comes.

@margot39538 @PowerOwn45 It's theft if it forces redistribution from one person to another person under the threat of violence and punishment if you fail to comply.

You’re collapsing charity and justice into the same thing. Charity is a personal virtue, justice is about how a society is ordered. The Church has always taught both. Supporting laws that help the poor isn’t theft, it’s part of how justice can be structured, even if you disagree with the policy.

@margot39538 @PowerOwn45 I know you 'believe' that it is "charity" when money is stolen under threat of violence and given to someone else... You believe something that isn't true. It isn't charity, it's theft. Again, thank God our founders didn't agree with people like you.

No one’s denying the Church had political influence at times. That’s not the claim. The question is where its teaching on charity comes from, and you’re switching that to “it had power”. Those aren’t the same. And calling on governments to act isn’t a distortion of charity, it’s part of applying it beyond just private behavior.

@margot39538 @PowerOwn45 The Catholic church was absolutely intertwined politically and had tremendous political power (not just spiritually), not only in Rome, but throughout Europe. If you deny that, I can't help you. Also, calling on governments to act is not "teaching on charity".

The Church isn’t a Roman government, and its teaching on charity didn’t come from chasing power, it comes from the Gospel. In fact, the institutions that cared for the poor long before modern states, hospitals, orphanages, relief systems, came out of that tradition, not in spite of it.

@margot39538 @PowerOwn45 The Roman government (Catholic Church) taught those things because, like all central governments, they loved power and authority. Thank God, our founders rejected it and it led to prosperity the world had never seen, providing more for the poor than any Catholic nation ever has.

Jesus didn’t limit charity to private feelings. We are our brother’s keeper has social consequences. The Church has always taught both personal charity and just structures because broken systems keep people poor no matter how generous individuals are…. he’s just doing his job, and since you’re not Catholic, it doesn’t really apply to you.

@TruthHodler @Truth_matters20 It never specifies any... and it would be meaningless if they were... baptism is specifically paired with repentance. “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

@majoriansmusing Exactly, if Prots want to claim a W for founding this country, and being some sturdy moral bloc against degeneracy, they have to admit their absolute loss given the degraded state of our current society.

If you claim to be the decisive force on marriage, life, borders, morality, you’re also implicitly taking ownership of the current ruins: rainbow institutions, mass divorce, porn‑soaked churches. Either evangelicals aren’t nearly as culturally dominant as you’re suggesting, or their "leadership" hasn’t actually produced Christian order.
Allie Beth Stuckey@conservmillen

All this hate for evangelicals when, statistically, we are the only bloc consistently holding it down for biblical marriage, the pro-life cause, secure borders, and every other issue. We are by far the most conservative and united in every political, cultural, and moral area. This is not statistically contested. Without the strength and cohesion of this group, conservatives lose everything. Consequently, the country loses everything. Not an exaggeration. So ask yourself: why would someone want to divide, destroy, and demoralize this stalwart group? The answer is obvious if the person is progressive, but it becomes a bit murky when the people targeting this group are on the “right,” right? Something to ponder
