POPE LEO XIV: “Jesus, King of Peace, rejects the prayers of those who wage war. He says that your hands are full of blood.” Evangelical Zionist lunatics will somehow use this to wage war against Iran AND the Catholic Church.

THIS IS AMAZING! THANK YOU, AMERICA! 🇺🇸

I’m a Republican. I supported Trump. I raised money for him, I voted for him. I donated $60,000 to his campaign. Trump lied. He rugpulled us all. I didn’t vote for Lindsey Graham / America Second policies. You can disagree with me if you want. It’s your right to be fooled. But if you say I have “TDS” or am a “liberal” you need a new argument. There are millions of conservatives and members of the now torched “broad coalition” just like me. The only ones left supporting him are MAGA always Trumpers who place the man above the policies and our country.

🇺🇸 NEW POLL: 75% of Americans say Pete Hegseth should be removed from office. Retweet if you’re one of the 75%.

@SpeakerJohnson Get behind me Satan! I see who you are! You are a fake Christian, Mike. Repent!!

Today, Christians around the world observe Palm Sunday, which marks Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. (Matt. 21:1–11) Welcomed with palm branches, He came not to claim an earthly throne, but to fulfill a far greater, eternal purpose. (Zech. 9:9) Not a temporary victory — but victory over sin and death for ALL TIME. Happy Palm Sunday!

@SpeakerJohnson Shame on you! You protect a pedophile and back ICE who are abusing and KILLING American citizens. Keep the name of Jesus out of your mouth! It is blasphemy to preach about Christ and then turn around and support actions that clearly go against the teachings of Christ!!

In recent days, @CarriePrejean1, a Catholic, was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. She was not given notice as to why she was removed, but it is highly plausible that it was because of comments she made during a hearing. I wish to note both a question she asked and a statement she made. In essence, one of the questions she asked was whether a person who is not a Zionist is therefore antisemitic. The statement she made was that Catholics are not Zionists. Bishop Robert Barron posted on X that she was removed for “browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes.” I must disagree with this statement, having viewed the meeting myself. The purpose of the meeting is to promote religious liberty and to speak out against discrimination and injustice against any person, whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise. Defense of religious liberty under the First Amendment is the defense of all human life. Her comment was fitting for the meeting, and for the following reason. Carrie asked an important question, which was directed to Yitzchok Frankel. She asked whether one could reject antisemitism and at the same time condemn the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza, reject political Zionism, or not support the political state of Israel. Carrie was fulfilling her duty as a member of the board in speaking not only for the protection of Jews, but also for Palestinians. It is also a fair question to ask in light of the thousands of Palestinians who have been killed since October 7. As Catholics, we decry the killing of all innocent human life. Her comment and question were also fitting in helping the committee address the evil of antisemitism. In other words, her words can be interpreted as a caution that, in light of evil antisemitic actions, one must not resort to uncontrolled violence against Palestinians in Gaza. There is a fire that was lit, and she was simply pointing out that another fire has been lit, and one cannot put out fire with fire. She wished to hold all persons accountable for violence against innocent human life. Furthermore, defining terms is crucial in arriving at proper justice for all. In resolving the issue of antisemitism, it is important to define exactly what that constitutes. It is not foreign to public discussion to speak of Christian Zionism as it pertains to the present conflict in Iran. She, as a defender of all faiths, must be able to defend her own. That she did courageously in noting that Catholics are in fact not Zionists, and that this should not be remotely part of the definition of antisemitism. The reason this is important is that if rejection of Zionism is equated with antisemitism, it opens the door to the persecution of Catholics, or of people in general. Since this language is part of the current political context when speaking about Israel’s actions, it is just that Catholics, having their own religious liberty under the First Amendment, be able to disagree with religiously or politically motivated actions which do not reflect what it means to be Catholic. Otherwise, we run the risk, as a nation, of gaslighting Catholics as antisemitic, which would itself be a form of religious persecution. The committee cannot serve the purpose of defending religious liberty by denying it to another group, namely Catholics. Therefore, I support Carrie as a fellow Catholic and American for her bravery, and I am proud of her. In fact, she was recently awarded the Catholic Champion Award at the Catholics for Catholics Prayer for America Gala only a few days ago. Countless Catholics from all over the country viewed this moment, where Catholics came together in solidarity to pray for our nation and to support fellow Catholics in responding to our Lord’s command: “Let your light shine.”

Trump said Iran had until 7:44 PM to open Hormuz or he would bomb power plants. Iran said it would bomb desalination plants in response. Iran still refuses to open the Straits. Trump announces he will not bomb power plants, citing “peace talks.” Iran denies peace talks.

@EricLDaugh You are sooooo dumb.

🚨 WOW! This American traveler just gave HUGE praise to ICE agents helping TSA and RIPPED Democrats for shutting down DHS "I'm GLAD to see 'em here." 🔥 "Congress needs to get to WORK, get it done, the American people don't deserve this, TSA needs to GET PAID, this is RIDICULOUS!" She nailed it.

Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

@KevinRobertsTX @TPUSA @Heritage You are a complete disgrace and embarrassment, Roberts!!

The Golden Age is a choice. America's future depends on our ability to choose well. Today at @TPUSA’s AmericaFest, I saw America's future in a room full of young patriots—and challenged them to join us.   @Heritage is fighting for policies to support the family, focus on the dignity of work and free enterprise, defend our national security, and answer the crucial question: What does it mean to be an American citizen? This work must be powered by a generation willing to take Charlie Kirk’s advice and choose to seek the eternal. America's Golden Age is a choice. Let's choose well.

Hey Donald, I’m a lifelong Republican, have had lunches with Pres. Bush, V. Pres. Chaney, Fl. Gov. Charlie Crist & many more. I grew up part of the Young Republicans Club. I’m no Democrat. I’m here to say, you are a disgrace to our country & I hope the world forgives us someday!

We're so fucked

@BishopBarron It's an honor to work on a commission associated with TRUMP?? That is abhorrent. No Catholic should be associating with Trump in any way.

Friends, it’s an honor to serve on the White House Religious Liberty Commission. This week, we gathered in Washington, DC to discuss religious freedom in healthcare.  Please keep this important work in your prayers.

@PressSec This you?

@PressSec Huh? Do you have multiple personality disorder?

@PressSec If you're going to lie today you should probably first delete your post from two days ago where you told the truth.

@LimLisa65297 @BishopBarron "By their fruits you will know them." The fruits of this conversation is stunning hypocrisy- something that Jesus warned us about.

@miayea3 @BishopBarron Is it ok to judge from a distance?

Friends, in this week's episode of the Word on Fire Show, Fr. Steve Grunow and I join Dr. Tod Worner to discuss the shadow side of social media and what faithful Catholics are called to do about it.  We also reflect on the prayer, study, and humility required to evangelize effectively online: youtu.be/VMq0cGOY2JQ

BREAKING: Leader Hakeem Jeffries just announced that House Democrats will start a discharge petition to fund every part of DHS other than ICE. This is amazing.
