If we truly want to stand up to the world around us. We start by making Christ our top priority. One of the ways is to attend Mass and making sure all who desire to take part are able to.
You don't need to visit every shrine in Europe or master the Catechism. You don't need elaborate prayer routines, Catholic social media validation, or the perfect saint medal collection.
You need the quiet consistency of showing up—at Mass, in Scripture, through service, in silent moments of surrender.
Sanctity isn't found in spiritual achievements. It's discovered in the daily yes.
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
The most I can offer this unrepentant monster (my former bishop) is a tepid “May the Lord have mercy on his soul,” and a prayer that I might one day even mean it.
I don’t understand. How can the effects of the disease and the vaccine be differentiated in this cohort to a very high degree of certainty given that it is not very often considered that asymptomatic covid is much more prevalent than we think? Are we testing these patients for wild virus antibodies?
I think "asymptomatic COVID" was bovine manure intended to frighten people, make people fear each other even more, get more people to accept spikeshots, etc. The PCR tests were bogus if run more than about 28 cycles and all those "asymptomatic cases" found by PCR tests run for more cycles were just "fear fodder."
Be careful about slamming PCR. It is now being used to support claims of foreign DNA being found in the blood of those who have been vaxed with mRNA. 28 cycles or not, we can’t say it fails when that supports our argument and then later it works when that supports our argument too. Which is it?
