If you’re a Roman Catholic & you support Jaden Ivey being fired because he called your religion false, shame on you.
If you’re a member of the LGBTQ community & you support Jaden Ivey being fired because he doesn’t support Pride or gay marriage, shame on you.
If you’re a sports media member & you say Jaden Ivey is mentally ill, shame on you.
Jaden Ivey was fired for simply holding to historical, foundational, Biblical Christian beliefs. No one should be fired for that in the NBA or any other sports league.
If you support Ivey’s firing, the problem is actually with you, not him.

@remingtongraves @KerrickDuchy In verse prior, Jesus stated to follow the commandment's which includes adultery
English
@KerrickDuchy Not to Jesus Christ. He never even mentioned it. He did, however, say to love your neighbor as yourself and to not judge others so that you’re not judged in return. I mean, he did mention that.
English
being gay is a sin according to whom? i’ve still yet to get a solid answer
Rich Porter@kashout555
@KerrickDuchy i mean if homophobic is just calling out a sin i guess

@brenda_wny Your Bible translation switched tradition for teaching, the meaning didn’t change

@JoshuaTCharles The church is the body of Christ, those who follow Jesus Christ - not a building, not a set of manmade rituals and traditions. Follow the teachings of Christ.
English
Those who are truly searching for Truth will end up in Christ’s Catholic Church.
And in this age of lies, perversity, and ruptured foundations, by God’s grace they are finding Her!
Praise be to God!

Many U.S. dioceses are expecting heavy increases in people joining the Catholic Church at Easter 2026, including some with record highs, a survey by the Register found. “Something’s happening,” said John Helsey, director of communications for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, which is expecting a 57% increase in unbaptized people becoming Catholics at Easter — from 635 in 2025 to nearly 1,000 in 2026. In most places, this year’s increases aren’t a one-off but follow significant increases in recent years. One example is the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey, which had record highs attending liturgies several weeks ago that were meant to welcome would-be converts who have been preparing to enter the Church in recent months and to formalize their status. Newark is expecting a 30% jump in converts in 2026 (at 1,701) over 2025 (at 1,305). The 2026 figure is 60% higher than the 1,064 converts in 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic. “Last year, we had no idea where all the people came from then; 2025 eclipsed every year we had had up to then. We thought it might be an anomaly,” said Father Armand Mantia, director of the archdiocese’s OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) program that prepares converts to become Catholics. “And then, all of a sudden, we had our rituals for 2026, and 2026 blew away 2025, which we didn’t think was possible.” Read the full story at ncregister.com

🇬🇧STANDING ROOM ONLY!!! In My nearly 2 years living in Poland, there has not been a single Church service in any church that I have attended that has been empty.. but Holy Week it goes to another level as millions attend nationwide in a stunning display of deep faith and beautiful tradition!!! 🤍❤️
Jesus Christ is KING of Poland!! ✝️🇵🇱
🇵🇱 Tylko miejsca stojące!!! Przez prawie 2 lata mojego życia w Polsce nie było ani jednej Mszy Świętej w żadnym kościele, w której uczestniczyłem, żeby była pusta… ale w Wielkim Tygodniu wchodzi to na zupełnie inny poziom, gdy miliony ludzi w całym kraju uczestniczą w tym wspaniałym wyrazie głębokiej wiary i pięknej tradycji!!!
Jezus Chrystus jest Królem Polski!! ✝️
Love Life 🤍❤️
Łyse, Polska 🇵🇱 English
@GeorgeR64520 @TaylorRMarshall Are you calling the Lamb of God, Our Savior who died for our sins “dumb”?
Lord have mercy!
English
@TaylorRMarshall Poor Catholics are taught to believe that all their theology and practices were exactly as it is from the first century. They can't question it too since they are not infallible and can't understand on their own. Clearly a case of dumb sheep led to slaughter.
English
Try to name ONE Christian author in the first 3 centuries who said the Eucharist is “just a symbol.”
English
English
That is has to be the most ridiculous statement I have heard anybody make for an argument for the Eucharist. The Jewish people are forbidden to even touch dead bodies. Jesus saying this to them was clearly symbolic. None of his disciples got a fork and knife and started digging in. It's perverse that you even think that is a interpretation that should be accepted. Disgusting really that you would think that simple man were to literally eat the flesh of a holy God. As pagan as you get. That is you you are a pagan. Repent. That is disgusting…

@JLee2028 @BrassVon @metathomist What is impure about having God given marital relations with her God chosen husband Joseph?
English
You’d be surprised how many Protestant objections to Catholicism center on sex.
Contraception. Celibacy. Mary’s virginity. Divorce. Remarriage. Masturbation. IVF. Premarital sex.
DRAGO@dragodimitrov
I think attachment to contraception is the #1 thing holding Protestants back from becoming Catholic.

I'm no NBA scout, but what does Cam Boozer do that makes him a great pro prospect? Seems like a lot of bully ball, not sure that translates.
English
@ken_dever @DeborahDou11570 @BishopBarron She is educating you correctly about the Catholic faith and its doctrine, referencing authoritative documents. You should graciously accept the correction and behave accordingly.
English
Friends, in recent years, the Church has seen a surge in conversions to the Catholic faith.
Praise God for the movement of the Holy Spirit in the hearts and minds of many—especially in young adults, who seem to be leading the charge!

@DeborahDou11570 @BishopBarron This is about Catholic faith, take your political torch elsewhere
English
@BishopBarron Unfortunately,many are converting because they think the Catholic Church grants them permission to be hateful antisemites.That’s what they’re learning online. Pray that the Church is providing guidance to the new converts.

@ImAllOfEm1 @Hero_OfThe_Day I did stop watching 5 yrs ago. It’s just opinion which is what social media is about

@ken_dever @Hero_OfThe_Day I don’t really watch baseball anymore. Loved it as a kid. I’m not on social media complaining about baseball. I don’t care. Sounds like you should do the same with basketball.🤷🏿♂️

Is that a carry and a travel on the same play!? 😂😂
WE GET IT— Victor Wembanyama is the new league darling, along with Shai Gilgeous Alexander.
An entire generation of basketball fans have stopped watching the NBA because we want a level playing field for ALL players. Fix it.

@Hero_OfThe_Day If it’s that bad don’t watch. All of the old school is on social media complaining. The game has passed you by.

Your Eminence,
I’ve tried calling you and texting you multiple times since the February 9th hearing on antisemitism which you and Bishop Barron were absent from. I wished to discuss this with you privately. But again, unfortunately, you’ve provided zero response to me.
However, today, you publicly made the post which I am replying to now.
You have publicly stated that you agree with Bishop Barron’s recently issued statements wholeheartedly.
Please answer this question: Why did you say to me in person on September 8th 2025, at 8:26 in the morning, “if they are going to remove you for your support of the Palestinians in Gaza, then they will try to remove me too”?
I explained to you at this meeting, that I was being asked to resign from the commission by the White House at the behest of our colleague’s Paula White and Dan Patrick. You expressed that you were shocked I was asked to resign in August because of my Catholic position on Zionism, and outspoken support of innocent human life in Gaza. You fully supported me as indicated by your words.
I had expressed to both you and Bishop Barron months before the February hearing that I was asked to be removed from this commission due to my Catholic beliefs and my support of the Palestinians in Gaza. Both of you said that would never happen. But it did.
Can you please explain to me and to all Catholics the meaning of this apparent contradiction?
If there is no contradiction between what you said to me in August and why I’m presently removed, then please explain.
I believe I was removed from the religious liberty commission in February for the same reasons I was asked to resign in August.
Cardinal Dolan@CardinalDolan
Below is a statement that my brother bishop, @BishopBarron – a colleague on the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty –recently issued. His comments are characteristically clear, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Many scouts and executives now view AJ Dybantsa as the clear-cut No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Dybantsa’s consistency has vaulted him above Darryn Peterson in league circles.
For teams currently near the top of the lottery odds, Dybantsa is separating himself.

@TaylorRMarshall People are lead astray by whatever excuse they choose to follow

When I was an Anglican, we used to use this photo to prove that the pope recognized Anglican clergy as real priests.
Popes should not make these startling symbolic gestures. Ambiguity leads people astray.
Adéodat@Adeodaturum
Je ne connaissais pas cette image avant de tomber dessus par hasard sur le compte d'un pasteur anglican. Sur cette photo du 23 mars 1966, Paul VI passe au doigt de ce laïc son propre anneau épiscopal, reconnaissant implicitement son faux épiscopat.

.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory.
But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025?
That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice.
She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her.
You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly.
And beyond that—you have never even responded to me.
I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position.
You never replied.
And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day.
Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen.
This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability.
When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message.
Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way.
So I am asking you directly:
Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend?
Say her name: Katie Abraham.
Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.
Governor JB Pritzker@GovPritzker

@josephnollasj It’s amazing that Muslim have more reverence for the Blessed Mother than some, so called Christian’s.

Who are the brethren of Jesus? Did Mary have other children?
The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible lays out the scriptural support for the Church’s tradition that Mary had no other biological children.

@john1576 @mamboitaliano__ Catholics have been securing that place for centuries

@mamboitaliano__ Guy's. No offence to the Catholics or anything, but really, what do they expect? There is a war going on with the IDF working night and day securing Drone Strikes.
