Lately, the hate comments have only increased—especially since Trump returned to office. It’s revealed something deeper to me: so many Christians are deeply afraid.
Fear is the root of demonization. People don’t attack what they understand—they attack what they’re told to fear. And tragically, many Christians have been taught to fear God—…

Got to talk about the issue of omnipotence and ’s theology of amipotence in relation to Jessica Jones and Killgrave with and . Super nerdy and super fun
Getting an encouraging message from a reader out of the blue was a wonderful thing to wake up to. Blessed be God, who has been so good to me.
Easter has a way of creeping up on me.

Very good news! Not only is Abrego Garcia alive, Salvadoran authorities, reversing their initial refusal, allowed him to meet with Senator Van Hollen, who called Abrego Garcia’s wife to “pass along his message of love.” The police-state machine blinking in the harsh light of global scrutiny?
A clip from Saturday’s upcoming GeoLex episode… I got scammed in Saigon 😖 But the dude was actually really nice and, to his credit, my shoes looked dang new!

This is insightful. As a Catholic — a cradle Catholic, but an intellectual one — I spent a long time jumping, like Qoheleth, from one pursuit to another in order to find meaning, to “prove” myself, as it were. That included a lot of intellectual pursuits and attempts to master Catholic theology.
Like many who attended Steubenville — defi…

While we can never fully appreciate the suffering of Jesus, and many others have suffered much more than I, allow me this reflection on my experience with chronic pain and a healing mass. God bless you this Good Friday.🙏

“He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:8-11)

"The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love; It signifies Love, It produces love. The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life."

Just received the latest issue of Amon Hen and last one with Amanda Drske as Editor-in-Chief as I learned that she had passed this past Monday. Amanda was a kind and amazing person. Her love for Tolkien and the fandom were palpable. She was always willing to collaborate on ideas for Mallorn and she even shared the art submitted to be fea…

Reading the Odyssey again for the first time since high school (twenty years ago)!!
“In this grave lies Lilly the sweetest doggy of all and beloved companion of many years. A great exemplar of canine intelligence, looks, faithfulness. She had no human vices but many human virtues. She had no enmity but only love. This sepulchre is witness to her virtues. Her mistress’s tears and remembrance will not soon die away..”

Commentaries on the Letter of Jude are more interesting than you might expect. There’s a lot going on in these 459 words. F’rinstance, Jude 9 is a real rabbit hole: ”But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounc…

Her bright and gentle spirit has now answered heaven’s call.
The dearest friend was she, endowed with character and grace,
Blessed Holy Thursday to each of you!
Our littles still have trouble making it through the Holy Thursday liturgy, so we turn our living room into a garden to keep vigil with the Lord at home.
We put sleeping bags out for the kids so they can just fall asleep there while we pray. They look forward to it every year (as do I).
Have a blessed and prayerful Triduum, see you at Easter!

I don’t really like debunking things. I enjoy good stories and pious legends. I even think they’re still important when they’re found to be historically untrue, since they tell us something about the faithful. (Fiction is not false. That’s a misunderstanding of both fiction and falsehood.)
Latest casualty: the story of Leo XIII’s vision of Jesus and the devil which allegedly prompted the creation of the St. Michael prayer. It has no basis in fact. It doesn’t even seem to appear prior to the 1930s.

Make America Florida. I'm all in on DeSantis '24.
DeSantis and Lake 2024
Read this first. RINOs/NeoCons are setting up a plan to lock Trump out and install someone they can control - https://twitter.com/Peoples_Pundit/status/1589075990076325888
Rich Baris "The People's Pundit" I’ve received at least a half dozen calls from GOP donors who have told me the contents of their conversations AND sitting members of Congress have confirmed it. Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan have hatched a plan to defeat MAGA in 2024 and Ron DeSantis is the stool.
Sorry if that hurts some of y…
Trump was a disaster. He won’t get the nomination again. He betrayed his base.
Spoken by someone outside the base…. I don’t call a great economy and no new wars a “disaster”.
IT HAPPENED
The WHO has now made countries agree to their pandemic treaty.
This is bad news for freedom.
However, the USA did not agree and they have pulled out of the WHO all together.
IT'S HAPPENING
It's being reported that Trump may demand that Britain REPEAL their tyrannical hate speech laws if they want a trade deal with the USA.
Will free speech return to Britain?
Italy has become the first country in the world to ban fake lab grown meat.
They say this is to protect the health of the people.
They are rejecting the WEF agenda.
Be more like Italy 🇮🇹
