to those who ask why I don’t comment much on the subject of evolution, a) scientifically it’s beyond my competence and b) I simply don’t think it’s a hill to die on as far doctrinal orthodoxy is concerned so long as you fall within Leo XIII’s Providentissimus Deus and Pius XII’s Humani generis

speculatively, while opposing the entire Darwinian paradigm of human origins, I’m agnostic on both the age of the earth and whether there are evolutionary origins to biodiversity (subject to Divine Providence), and I think that’s okay

it’s not that hard dude don’t be a baby about it https://twitter.com/SteveSkojec/status/1502289706989592582?s=20&t=7EW9BfbQmTyh9fPS6K7pVg

when you disregard the Church’s disciplinary laws like this you’re effectively saying the Church, Christ’s Bride, doesn’t have the right to regulate ritual worship

the gravity of this is less about eating meat and more about being in total harmony with the sacramental dimension of the Mystical Body of Christ

dunno who needs to hear this but the fact that Catholics happen to exist in ukraine doesn’t magically make the state department, NATO, and Zelensky not corrupt or wicked, and it certainly doesn’t mean they’re on the right side of this war

to anyone who says that “nations” or racial/ethnic demographic cores are entirely modern and have no bearing on medieval, Christian civilization

Technically this just IS the consecration of Russia because Ukraine belongs to Russia 😎

“unless pope francis does the consecration to Russia with all the bishops in the world balancing a glass of chocolate milk on his head while reciting the bikini bottom national anthem it doesn’t count 😤”

in all seriousness the Pope announcing an intention to specifically consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart (even if he is including ukraine separately) is a huge deal and we should pray that this brings about the conversion and peace Our Lady of Fatima said would result from this being done

right wing watch’s most reliable source of online traffic at this point has to be just groypers enjoying easily accessible and curated nick clips https://twitter.com/rightwingwatch/status/1503755871393927176?s=21

How do some Catholics especially who are trying to guilt trip everyone into supporting Ukraine not understand this?

If Ukraine:
- Refuses to implement the Minsk Accords (1 & 2)
-Refuses to relinquish Donbass or Crimea
-Refuses to give up on NATO membership
-Refuses to surrender this unwinnable war
-Will not accept neutrality
-Continue to push NATO for a no-fly zone (WWIII)

Who is really responsible for the death and destruction???

at this point if you’re still defending Zelensky you’re either hopelessly stupid or have zero moral integrity

and if you’re Catholic (looking at people like Matt Fradd) you really should know better

there’s absolutely no way our just war tradition would fall on the side of Zelensky and the West

“Saint Patrick’s Breastplate” prayer
Very powerful for these times!

LFG

tradcaths who impulsively became sedes under Francis are probably feeling extremely conflicted now that despite all his faults Francis is the only Pope poised to do the consecration of Russia correctly according to Our Lady of Fatima’s request

God certainly has a sense of humor
