I pretty fundamentally disagree with "as long as they're reading" in general but I'll grant that most reading is better than short form video

Really hard not to fall into despair knowing how many of my co-religionists think this is epic and voted precisely in the hope that this would happen

The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is an echo chamber. Good luck finding nuanced debates about hot button issues on that touch screen. It’s just soda names and flavored syrups

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

A good religious litmus test is if someone has to say something positive about Viganò, calmly but quickly walk in the opposite direction

Arcivescovo Carlo Maria Viganò &

@CarloMVigano
Jorge Bergoglio's monomaniacal obsession with indiscriminate immigration and miscegenation finds a zealous proponent in Robert Prevost. The handover did not represent any radical change, either doctrinally or morally, or politically or socially. The conciliar-synodal Church is and remains the "Ancilla Novi Ordinis," the courtesan of the globalist elite.

10 years of the catholic postliberal "intellectual" movement has led directly into a bog-standard pagan fascist dictatorship. It almost makes you wonder if they were simply cynical racists the entire time.
