@maddenifico Also abortion is legal, widely available, & funded or free by the Israeli government.

I don't agree with everything Hasan Piker says, but the gentleman is spot-fucking-on about this. 🎯🎯🎯👇

@reallouiehuey verging on the demonic - don’t get sucked in. Wicked men worldwide continue to wreak evil. We must unite under the strong leadership of Papa Leo & combat this man made devastation of the precious gifts God entrusted us with.

What is up with all this hate of Catholics? It's getting bad.

@JustAdaugoijele I do! I need it near me or on me at all times.

Carry your Rosary with you, everywhere, it will carry you through anything

@CforCatholics I am going now to pray a Rosary under the stars for Lebanon & pray St. Charbel intercede on their behalf. Tomorrow’s Divine Mercy Sunday will be a powerful culmination of our prayers where Jesus Mercy envelops the whole world.

Maronite Catholics in Lebanon are praying the Rosary in the streets, defying brutal Israeli strikes and religious persecution. Let us unite with them in prayer for peace.

@Joeinblack Honestly it is getting boring bc it’s the same old same old ignorant blathering w these folks. It feels demonic to attack a man who has spent his life following Jesus’ explicit instructions to aid the “least of our brothers.” Vive Papa Leo.

There’s a lot of accounts on X that claim to be Catholic and they treat the holy father’s words as if they’re just another opinion to be evaluated and judged. These are people you should avoid.

@ChristopherHale My small parish is taking a hard stance also. Catholics are such a large voting block & our votes have been abused. I hope we take a collective action against these wars & atrocities. It is heart wrenching to watch & not do anything.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take up civic action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran. “When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders. “It is not enough to say we have prayed. We must also act. For it is very possible that the negotiations will fail because of recalcitrance on both sides, and the president will move to re-enter this immoral war. “At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison: “No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”

@findveritasx Me a sinner averaging about every 10 days. Sb more often. I treasure how regular Reconciliation has honed my awareness of my sinning. By God’s Grace I am definitely sinning less. After Confession I am hyper aware of not wanting to fall into sin.

How often y’all confessing? I did my first a couple weeks ago, may go again today. I sin a lot.

@ChristopherHale oh Mr Hale I can’t even with these comments! We’ve just finished 8 days celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection. I just went to Confession then Mass. Tomorrow we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. Their intellectually lazy rage baiting is powerless & boring.

Pope Leo XIV makes me proud of my Catholic faith.

@NickFreiling I truly believe he was Heaven-sent

I used to be Reformed Protestant. Not once, in those 30 years, did I ever care about anything the Pope said. Not once did I even know about anything the Pope said. I could hardly have identified the Pope in a photograph. Now, the Pope's statements are daily dissected and criticized by many of the most influential Protestants on this app. Reformed leaders and scholars I used to follow are commenting on him daily – usually critical, sometimes not, but always with the ultimate effect of exposing more and more people to Catholic dogma. I suspect this might have something to do with why so many Reformed Protestants are becoming Catholic. I know, for a fact, that most of my peers raised in the Reformed tradition were previously oblivious to how the Pope spoke and uninformed about Catholic teaching, and are lately surprised at just how much they appreciate what he says. Yes, maybe sometimes the Pope says something "iffy," but his statements are, by and large, vastly more measured, compassionate, intelligent, and historically-literate than anything any other Christian leader is saying. And of course, the papal "pomp-and-circumstance" (like it or not) inspires people who are otherwise deprived, during church and in worship, of the sort-of liturgics and iconography that ground and enrich their lives in so many other areas (devotionally, emotionally, psychologically), and who are even forbidden from gazing upon a crucifix. It's ironic, really, but I think the "domestication" of the Pope in this way – via social media – is actually a big boon for the Catholic Church.

@jarldietrich Amen! We are a significant swath of voters whose impact can’t be denied but is too often ignored.

Catholics are politically homeless

@PaulTeamAlberta @robbertleusink I am saying a prayer for you & your unchristian rage baiting. Why would you ask questions you don’t really want answers for? That is intellectually dishonest & serves no higher purpose. Why denigrate fellow Christians? That is the opposite of Jesus’ teachings.

@robbertleusink Or, you know, you could just talk to God directly?

The Catholic Church has a tribunal that has operated for 800 years in complete silence It is called the Apostolic Penitentiary It handles sins so grave that a local priest cannot grant absolution: desecrating the Eucharist, breaking the seal of confession, attempting to assassinate the Pope When a Pope dies, every senior Vatican official is immediately dismissed The head of this tribunal is not The Church holds that even in a leadership vacuum, the door to mercy cannot close In 2009, after eight centuries of silence, it held its first press conference

@bigglesw1 you obviously haven’t been in a medical facility or had to see a doctor at the hospital recently

I’ve seen zero Indians, zero Pakistanis and only one Nigerian in the past 2 days and it’s been a magical experience here on Twitter X. Also hardly any of the grifter pundits on the left either. It’s like going to a forest and breathing fresh air for the first time in a while.

@ChristopherHale I am proud to have Papa Leo. He is the only world leader I trust.

I want you to notice the Catholic influencers who speak about every issue under the sun, but are silent right now. We cannot be silent at the threat of nuclear weapons by the president of the United States. To say nothing is an abuse of the faith. God will judge their silence. It’s time for all of us to step up.

@Fragbaza wow I only read a couple of the comments & stopped. definitely stirred em up

Remember this: demons are scared of those in heaven. When next you encounter someone who tells you not to pray to the Most Holy Virgin or the Saint, know that your prayers are indeed tormenting them.

@Fragbaza Thank you for this reminder especially for users on this app. I now pray for those who mock or deride Our Blessed Mother instead of interacting with them. It has quelled much anger & haha unexpectedly shortened my last several Confessions.

@kalezelden My Godmother just gifted me a 1963 edition last week! Everyday I was using my phone for the accompanying scripture but this little book is so much more comforting. haha except for the Luminous Mysteries. The illustrations are simple yet breathtaking.

If there are any priests in the timeline who have small parish bookstores, you really need to stock our Scriptural Rosary—the Original. It’s stood the test of time. We offer wholesale pricing (40% off) for orders over 10. DM me if you are interested.

@BillArnoldTeach I prayed the Litany of the Saints earlier per St Louis De Montefort’s Total Consecration to Jesus. It was my 1st time & powerful. We need the Angels & the Saints’ prayers/intercessions. We can’t do it by ourselves but we can do it with God.

“Catholics worship saints” Do you pray for people? Yes Do you worship them? No welcome back

@ChristopherHale I am proud of my Parish. We are not silent. I hope more of us unite in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet everyday-night at 3:00 for our country & the world. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world🕊️

@CatholicSat please join Catholics worldwide in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet everyday at 3:00 for our country & the world

Responding to President Trump’s threat that “a whole civilisation will die tonight”, Pope Leo XIV calls for peace, says “let's remember, especially the innocent children, the elderly, sick. So many people who have already become, or will become victims of this continued warfare, and to remind all that attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law.” The Pope’s remarks in full: “I would simply say, once again, what I said in the Urbi et Orbi message on Sunday, asking all the people of goodwill to search always for peace, and not violence, to reject war, especially a war, which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate, and which is not resolving anything. In fact, we have a worldwide economic crisis, energy crisis. The situation in the Middle East of great instability, which is only provoking more hatred throughout the world. So come back to the table. Let's talk, let's look for solutions in a peaceful way. And let's remember, especially the innocent children, the elderly, sick. So many people who have already become, or will become victims of this continued warfare, and to remind all that attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law, but that it is also a sign of the hatred, the destruction the human being is capable of. And we all want to work for peace. People want peace. I would invite the citizens of all the countries involved to contact the authorities, political leaders, congressmen, to ask them, tell them to work for peace and to reject war always.”
