At the time of the Annunciation all of time froze for the smallest fraction of a second while all the angels hung on in suspense waiting for Mary’s response. The fiat that would user in the defeat of death and redemption of man!

@_kruptos @RonDodson I think the distinction is important and necessary to make in our times. The two shouldn't be conflated especially when one of them is us, nations, and one is the enemy, the state.

@_kruptos @RonDodson True, the Nuremberg Christianity article demonstrates that. But the state doesn't provide culture, it twists what is there. It may alter direction but culture begins with two people then grows into a nation. The State is indifferent discarding the parts not useful to it.

@_kruptos @RonDodson The nation is not an abstraction. The State is not worth praying for but the nation has a people that have a culture.

@RonDodson No, actually. It's an abstraction. It's like praying for "the world." I do pray for wisdom for political leaders and that they will come to repentance and obedience.

Since I'm Catholic-posting, why not, two comments on this @SohrabAhmari essay. First I understand the need to simplify but you can't have a good account of Catholic neoconservatism that understands it as defining itself primarily in relation to Rerum Novarum or Reaganism rather than in relation to Vatican II and the more politically liberal Catholicism that was the primary heir of John Courtney Murray Thought from, say, 1965-1990. unherd.com/2026/04/the-po…

In his earthly pilgrimage, man is guided by two luminaries. The greater light: the spiritual power (Pope) The lesser light: the temporal power (Caesar) When these lights are bright and harmonious, man's way is clear. When one or both lights are darkened, man's way is clouded.

@johnmilbank3 Unfortunately there are more numerous Catholics of little faith who take this media carousel with Vance to be reassuring. However, those who know now know for certain who he is, or more specifically what he lacks.

Vance thereby reveals he is essentially a Protestant who does not grasp even the obvious meaning of the word ‘Catholic’. For him it’s as if the Catholic Church were segmental and not cosmic!
TheBlaze@theblaze

Vance: "The president has to look out for the interests of the United States of America. In some cases it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of what's going on in the Catholic Church and let the president stick to dictating American public policy."

This is a great lesson. JD, the most practical hope for a Catholic postliberal (whatever your flavor), cannot but succumb to being a stout modernist when he gets actual power. This is liberalism in its most fundamental sense and the point is exclaimed with the last clarification of either Catholic or Protestant.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword — there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been — if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

The way to understand a Catholic bishop is not by looking at your beloved local priest. The sort of person who rises in the hierarchy is an operator. It’s better to think of him like a politician or regional manager of a business. And they deserve criticism like any other leader.

@FischerKing64 The American bishops are too American. Diversity is individualized and superficial while culture is more real and outside of oneself.

Pope Benedict XVI gave an interview to German journalists shortly after his election. One of the things he talked about was ‘unity in diversity.’ He meant that while there is one overarching church, the various nations are unique and express the faith in their own way. Implicit in that is that the various nations are worth preserving. I don’t understand why these bishops cannot advocate charity for the poor without actually importing tens of thousands of people that threaten national integrity and generate social problems. Unless they really do just want to import Catholics because they see shrinking congregations.

Pope Leo will spend July 4 in Lampedusa, an Italian island in the Mediterranean, where tens of thousands of migrants land on their way to Europe every year. It also marks America's 250th birthday. U.S. cardinals say the visit sends a message. cbsn.ws/4taRe3E

It was right and responsible that the President deleted the post. I'm impressed he took responsibility for it, as I doubted—and daresay continue to doubt—that he personally made and posted it. But the buck stops with POTUS, so good on him for taking it down and moving on.

@RolfHaltza While you can't escape it, there are Christian ways to fight against it. It's as simple as make friends and ask them be your safety net. In the case of my death, I've asked friends to support my family in place of life insurance for example.

The Church Fathers' call for radical detachment is structurally impossible today because we have shifted from a "diversified" subsistence model to a "unitary" market economy model. In the past, money was often superfluous to basic existence because people had direct access to the commons or subsistence activities; you could sell your surplus wealth and still survive through self-sufficiency or communal ties. Whatever money you made or possessed was not the totality of your possessions nor was it tied to what you could produce if you got rid of it. Today, however, every necessity, from food, to shelter, to even legal status, is gated behind the market and a cash transaction, meaning that today "selling everything" no longer leads to a simple, pious life, but to total systemic excision and physical destitution. If you don't have money in a market economy, you do not eat. Ultimately, the modern economy has eliminated the "middle ground" between wealth and death. Because we are now primarily wage laborers who must pay for the "right to exist" (rent, utilities, and taxes), the "abundance" the Fathers tell us to give away is actually our only private safety net. I have said countless times that in the past wage labor was only a step above destitution, so imagine how miserable, how pathetically poor in real terms an entire society comprised of wage laborers, enslaved to the market is. We are already the destitute the fathers spoke about. The teaching cannot be faithfully lived out by individuals today until the totalizing reign of the market, the reign of Mammon is defeated. The current system has effectively criminalized the autonomy required for true Gospel poverty.
Joshua Charles🇻🇦@JoshuaTCharles

The Church Fathers consistently say that all Christians—particularly the rich—owe their abundance to the poor, and if we do not provide it, we are robbing them. That consistent teaching of the Church is challenging for me as well, and I am constantly trying to find ways to live it out more faithfully. Detachment from money is truly one of the greatest sources of genuine liberty this side of heaven.

There are so many angles to the Catholic Hoax Op hitting right now but the overall goal is the same - to get Catholics to stop backing the right after we swung big for Trump in 2024 That’s the end goal here

I listened to the clip. Catholics are just faithful to God. Those of us that are American are also just that...Americans. It is us, but if you are torn between loyalties it is because you are split with an ideology of nationalism. All ideologies are heresies but being American is who we are. It's not the same and American Catholics need to grip this.

Dying is expensive in America, make sure you save up your whole life so you can do it.
wanye@xwanyex

This is true, but also it’s good to take 20 minutes every once in a while and go sit in a dark room and really, truly convince yourself of the fact that you are someday going to die. When you run the math on a mortgage, it’s actually really close, but even if investing the money comes out slightly ahead over 30 or 40 years, there’s also optionality in increased cash flow today.

Both can be true: 1. The Catholic Church, as an ancient pre-liberal institution, is the last great bastion in the West against liberalism. And 2. The Catholic Church, as an institution populated by modern humans, struggles with liberalism.
