Fifty-year mortgages is just a way to make sure such "homeowners" are renters for life, and banks get to keep and sell homes when the loan is not paid by the time of death. It's a step towards the real servile state.

The church must show us the way of true sacrifice, for if it does not give us a good example of it, how can we expect society to do better? www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

Sacrifice And Society: Addressing Inequality And Alienation
When we are told we must make a sacrifice for the sake of the common good, we must make sure it is for the common good.

Hate leads us far from God, for not only does it lead us to reject the way of love, it would have has destroy instead of affirm the goodness of creation: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #hate
Hatred Leads To Self-Destruction
Hate is nihilistic; if we embrace hatred, we will find ourselves rejecting everything, including existence itself.

From what I can see, there will be another governmental shutdown in January. However, what the Democrats did this time is have SNAP funded when it happens.

While some people are upset, some are confused, by the most recent Vatican note on Marian titles, I found its main point to follow one which I often emphasize in my own writings: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Mary
Reassessing Marian Titles
Marian teachings point to and affirm the unique work of Christ; we should not abuse them and focus on Mary instead.

Trump's war against Christmas? We all know, if Biden were president, what would be said: www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The fact that after his death Dives, the rich man, had a sense of compassion for someone other than himself, should give us pause as to what Jesus wants us to think about his “final destiny”: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Dives
Understanding The Rich Man's Fate
While it often seems as if the rich who exploit and abuse the poor will never face justice, Jesus tells us that is not so.

New Non-Jewish director kicks out Jewish scholar from Jewish Studies programs because the Jewish scholar was concerned for Palestinians. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...
In Indiana, a vaunted Jewish studies program is upended by red-state politics over Israel and speech - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.

Drew this in response to my own county council, and other Cyan Political Party county councils, fucking over anyone and everyone

Seriously though, fuck Reform UK. My own county council feels like it is Théoden under the influence of Gríma Wormtongue

Those who say that Christians, and therefore, the church, should sometimes be mean, seek to justify cruelty instead of following the way of God: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Kindness #Mean
Being Kind Vs. Being Mean: The Christian Approach To Justice
Christians must not be mean; they must embrace true justice, justice which is restorative, full of mercy and not spite or vengeance.

St. Paul talks about the primacy of love, saying if we do not have it, if we do not live our faith through it, we have nothing: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #love #nothing
Nothing Found
When nothing of the charity God wants us to have is found in our hearts, if we have no love, Paul warns us, we have nothing.

If Vance really does divorce his wife, he is going to justify it by saying she is an unbeliever (1 Cor 7:15). I think that is what he set up recently. www.primetimer.com/news/vance-a...
“Vance announces divorce, marries Charlie Kirk’s widow”- New York Times author’s claims go viral amidst Erika Kirk’s onstage controversy
JD Vance and Erika Kirk appeared together at an event held in the Mississippi University and the moments of the duo’s interaction went viral on social media.

Christians should recognize today, more than ever before in recent times, the dignity of the human person is in question, and many Christians are the ones who sadly made this happen: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #dignity
Why Promoting Human Dignity Is More Crucial Than Ever
The rise of racism and sexism in Catholic circles shows us how human dignity is being undermined in Catholic circles.

Jesus could often say things which, without the proper key to interpret them, are vague, but which can provide profound insight when that key is known: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Jesus #Parables
The Vague And The Profound
The truth often appears in a form which appears vague to those not ready to receive it and follow through with what they learn.
