There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace. The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities. The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

@brockpierson MSFT AMZN BTC

You meet your 16 year old self and are allowed 3 words. What do you say?

@boringmarketer I'm setting up the llm council because I just can't trust that exclusively. In the meantime I'm asking it to produce MD files with summaries of findings and then I'm asking Grock to Opine.

anyone else feel like Claude Code with opus 4.6 is lobotomized and noticeably dumber lately

@boringmarketer Absolutely have noticed this and it's already a leap of faith to trust it when it does everything well so when these errors start creeping up and dumb mistakes and forgetfulness it's a huge problem

@breeadail Catholics right now

Respectfully, Holy Father, what “communion” does Catholicism have with Islam? Does this ideology reflect the continuity with your predecessors (aside from Pope Francis)?

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

@oliverwhudson 2026

Our 2026 playbook has been our most downloaded resource this year. We've updated it with new chapters added - including a full breakdown of Meta's algorithm update published 31 March 2026, the rise of personas, partnership ads, AI UGC and how the next wave of ugc is developing. The same frameworks behind £600M+ in revenue across the DTC brands we work with. Four pillars: Meta, TikTok, AI, and Creative. Platform mechanics. Account structures. AI workflows. The creative formats actually driving incremental growth right now. Retweet this post and comment "2026" and I'll send it over.

@trq212 We haven't met but I promise you no awkwardness if you want to guide me. I'm pivoting hard into Claude code and I know with some technical scaffolding I could be much more efficient. I'm working on apps that help middle-aged people like me leverage AI.

I want to do some streams where I work with non-technical people using Claude Code to figure out how they might be able to improve their process. My feeling is that just a few tips could make a big difference in efficiency. Any mutuals interested?

@AliHabibPPC Bing

bing ads is the most ignored money printer in ecommerce right now 900M+ monthly searches, a user base skewing older and wealthier, and most brands aren't spending a dollar there we made a breakdown doc covering: - the demographic breakdown of bing users and why they spend more - ad copy frameworks built for 55+ high-income buyers - shopping feed setup that actually works on bing - full campaign structure from launch to scale - bidding strategies that take advantage of low competition the platform is wide open. almost nobody is running it properly like + comment "BING" and i'll DM you the doc (follow + RT for priority access)

@rileybrown I am already there.

That's it, i'm done with apple. We need to band together. Let's all switch to Android. Who's with me? - sent from my macbook, connected to my iPhone hotspot, while wearing air pods.

@techwith_fahim AI

One of the most underrated AI tools right now? Ideogram AI. When you combine it with Claude, you unlock a powerful system for creating and publishing high-quality eBooks on Amazon KDP. The real advantage is leverage. One good book can generate royalties for years. Multiply that across several titles and it becomes a scalable income stream. Using this workflow, our portfolio generated $65,000 in royalties last month. I originally planned to sell this system for $199, but for the next 48 hours I’m giving it away free. Want access? • Follow @techwith_fahim • Like & RT • Comment “AI” I’ll DM you the full AI publishing workflow.

@choyamymuna FOUNDER

I built 7 Claude Skills that replaced 6+ hours of weekly marketing work. Now I’m giving them all away. The Founder Skills Vault: → Viral Content Generator → Content Pillar Generator → LinkedIn Content Analyzer → Lead Magnet Idea Generator → LinkedIn-to-X Converter → Warm DM Strategist → Lead Qualifier This isn’t a prompt pack. These are production-grade tools that run inside Claude. It’s the same system I used to grow 7,000+ followers in 3 months. Want it?‼️ Follow @choyamymuna [MUST] Like + RT Comment “FOUNDER”

@ErikSTownsend It's very frustrating to see that compacting message appear out of nowhere which degrades continued performance. Ever since the surge from the openAI fiasco I've noticed that it is a little more forgetful and slopier

@romanbuildsaas PH

We built Claude Code for Outreach… 12 hours later, we’re ranked #1 on Product Hunt 🚀 Just strategy and execution. Weeks of preparation and dozens of coordinated pushes. I’m now putting together the exact blueprint we used to hit #1 and drive thousands of free, high-intent visitors to our site. Step by step.

@fromzerotomill ROADMAP

i reverse engineered exactly how to hit $120K/year with faceless pages, google docs and stripe links. not theory. not "if everything goes perfectly." the actual math, the actual timeline, the actual steps broken down month by month so your only excuse for not executing is that you're lazy. here's a taste of what's inside: → the unit economics that make this embarrassingly achievable ($37 product, less than 1 sale per day = $1,000/month per page) → the niche profitability matrix with 4 variables that tell you exactly which niches will convert and which ones are dead on arrival → the 5-phase roadmap from $0 to $10K/month across a portfolio of faceless pages → how to build 3 products, 3 pages and 90 posts in your first 30 days spending $0 → the exact month-by-month revenue curve so you know what to expect and when to expect it → how to systematize the entire operation by month 10 so a VA runs it while you build the next thing the full roadmap covers niche selection, product creation, content strategy, DM sales, scaling from 3 pages to 10+, and how to hit 87-92% profit margins at full scale. i wrote this the way i wish someone had laid it out for me when i was starting. no fluff, no motivation, just the blueprint with the math to back every single claim. comment "ROADMAP" and i'll send it to you.

@BrunoRguezP @Pontifex_es @DiazCanelB Eres un descarado. Te envió para rogarle al Papa que les ayude a negociaras tiempo como tiranos?

Agradezco profundamente a Su Santidad León XIV(@Pontifex_es) el honor de haberme recibido en Audiencia como Enviado Especial del Presidente de la República de #Cuba, @DiazCanelB.
