sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Strong churches are always the few outnumbered by the weak links in religion. Fundamentalist are always favoring their own interests over all others. The damage done by these unwoke actors is societies nightmare. No matter how obvious how Jesus would act they rationalize their doctrine of hate. Liberal Churches have a hard time separating themselves as entities of inclusion from their unwoke non member branches. Pretending is our great strength to believe what we cannot see. It is also our greatest weakness as a tool of the insane. Fundamentalist want to be taken care of in an infantile manner which the insane are more than willing to pretend to do. Outcome is mass insanity and death.
