Barron is an embarrassment to the Catholic Church.

Today, we remember the ultimate sacrifice. A love so strong it changed history. Jesus gave his life for you. #GoodFriday

Motherfucker, YOU are foreign. YOUR 28 KIDS are “foreign anchor babies.” Just say “brown” you Nazi fuck!

The big news in the job report is how many people stopped looking for jobs (400k). That and the end of a strike at Kaiser Permanente is the only reason unemployment went "down" by a tenth of a point.

If you really want a “liberal Joe Rogan” give Hunter Biden his own podcast and let him cook…

In complete silence, Pope Leo lies prostrate in St. Peter’s Basilica as the Good Friday Liturgy of the Passion of the Lord begins.

This Hasan stuff is a psyop being funded by Peter Thiel or something--dems are flipping red seats and outperforming the most optimistic predictions going into mid terms--so all of a sudden theres a full court press to associate them with a guy who thinks 9/11 was good

GOOD FRIDAY It is Good Friday and the Church mourns the death of our Savior. This is traditionally a day of sadness, spent in fasting and prayer. One tradition encourages that silence be maintained beginning at noon and lasting the three hours of Christ’s crucifixion. Good Friday is an obligatory day of fasting and abstinence. If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily His Resurrection. According to the Church's ancient tradition, the sacraments are not celebrated on Good Friday nor Holy Saturday. "Celebration of the Lord's Passion," traditionally known as the "Mass of the Presanctified," (although it is not a Mass) is usually celebrated around three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, depending on the needs of the parish. The altar is completely bare, with no cloths, candles nor cross. The service is divided into three parts: Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross and Holy Communion. The priest and deacons wear red or black vestments. The liturgy starts with the priests and deacons going to the altar in silence and prostrating themselves for a few moments in silent prayer, then an introductory prayer is prayed. In part one, the Liturgy of the Word, we hear the most famous of the Suffering Servant passages from Isaiah (52:13-53:12), a pre-figurement of Christ on Good Friday. Psalm 30 is the Responsorial Psalm "Father, I put my life in your hands." The Second Reading, or Epistle, is from the letter to the Hebrews, 4:14-16; 5:7-9. The Gospel Reading is the Passion of St. John. The General Intercessions conclude the Liturgy of the Word. The ten intercessions cover these areas: •For the Church •For the Pope •For the clergy and laity of the Church •For those preparing for baptism •For the unity of Christians •For the Jewish people •For those who do not believe in Christ •For those who do not believe in God •For all in public office •For those in special need Part two is the Veneration of the Cross. A veiled cross is processed through the Church, unveiled, and then venerated by the congregation. We joyfully venerate and kiss the wooden cross "on which hung the Savior of the world." During this time the "Reproaches" are usually sung or recited. Part three, Holy Communion, concludes the Celebration of the Lord's Passion. The altar is covered with a cloth and the ciboriums containing the Blessed Sacrament are brought to the altar from the place of reposition. The Our Father and the Ecce Agnus Dei ("This is the Lamb of God") are recited. The congregation receives Holy Communion, there is a "Prayer After Communion," and then a "Prayer Over the People," and everyone departs in silence.

Cori Bush found fame on the Antisemitism Express — and now she’s cashing in on it, literally. When Cori isn’t funneling campaign cash to her husband’s company — hello PAL PAC! — or stealing COVID money, you can find her yelling about AIPAC and Israel, and winking at Hezbollah.

A Catholic priest celebrated yesterday's Mass of the Lord's Supper at a prison in Brazil and washed the feet of the inmates.

Moments like Tim’s question are a reminder he spent most of his adult life as a R. Quick Lesson: Asian American began shifting D b4 Obama’s presidency, but fully left the GOP w/the rise of the Tea Party. So yes, the rise of bigotry is a core reason to walk away from a party

Joe Biden has better handwriting than I do and it's not close. Jake Tapper is an actual traitor. He fomented a lie that he knew would interfere with the election of the American President.

Russians attacked a veterinary clinic in Kyiv. I can't even express how much I despise those people.

Never forgive or forget those who slammed, insulted, and lied about President Biden. We were flying down the highway to hell. He saved us, our country. But that wasn't good enough for legacy media, asswipes on social media and freaking Hollywood, and traitors. Fuck y'all forever.

This is actually true. The best that people struggling with student loans can hope for going forward is that the law change that will allow for them to be discharged through bankruptcy. But anything related to forgiveness went down with the Biden Administration.

It's not 2003 anymore. Modern war produces a barrage of video. Drone footage. Cell phone clips. Videos of our service members suffering will be shared in real time. Whatever Trump does, he cannot hide what this war will cost the young men and women he's sending into combat.

As Aquinas notes, when a prideful leader’s excesses go unresisted, he is hardened in his delusion that they are licit and becomes even less likely to repent. Christians above all should understand that flattery and sycophancy only harm such a man by endangering his immortal soul.

On Good Friday, allow for silence between Noon and 3 PM; try to attend the Liturgy in your parish; make the Stations of the Cross; and pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. May these spiritual practices lead you to a deeper union with Jesus, who suffered and died for us.
