When you control the Senate, the House and White House and have been in power for a year but still blame Biden and Obama for the indefensible mess you've made, I think it's you that has Trump Derangement Syndrome

I'll believe those who say they want to "put Christ back in Christmas" when 1) they practice Advent as a season of waiting, anticipation, and silence, 2) celebrate the full 12 days of Christmas following December 25, and 3) hold off the Wise Men story until January 6.

I know a number of well-educated MAGAs. I too wish folks on the left would quit treating this as a lack of education.
What they lack isn't education, or even intelligence.
What they lack is empathy.

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

Contemporary proponents of the death penalty seem to have serene confidence in the ability of the modern secular state to administer death sentences justly, as if the contemporary secular arm had such a great record of deciding who has a right to live and who doesn’t.

"That sounds plausible" or "that fits my preferred narrative" are not reasons to endorse/post/repost (especially memes). Fact check yourself or you are part of the problem. It won't eliminate all misinformation posts, humans make mistakes, but it will help your own mental health a lot.

Dilectissime in Domino,
Catholics pray.
We also act in the world on behalf of the vulnerable. That’s our way.
We need not defend ourselves to the world.
We just need to do what we do, by instinct of the Holy Spirit and in obedience to Christ.

From Christ to Ghandi
Appears this truth —
St. Francis of Assisi
Proves it, too:
Goodness becomes grandeur
Surpassing might of kings.
Halos of kindness
Brighter shine
Than crowns of gold,
And brighter
Than rich diamonds
Sparkles
The simple dew
Of love.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.
Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.
