Wow Poland!! These fuckers are stealing everyone's countries

Is this because of some kind of "reparations" for past injustice? I shutter to think what the neo-Marxists would do to our nation if African ancestry & native American grievance groups had their demands met! Catholic theology wisely places the concept of reparation in the arena of individual sin NOT corporate responsibility.

A "nanny" who's male? Wouldn't tutor be more appropriate like Aristotle tutor for Alexander the Great?

Tucho Supports the Demand: “ Unrepentant Homosexuals Must Be Excommunicated”

What word describes when someone acts differently depending on their audience - oh yeah TWO-FACED!!! Francis also engages in this practice.

The Vatican has overturned Bishop Olson’s decree dismissing Mother Teresa Agnes from the Carmelite …

Somewhat good news, but it seems to suggest that Mother did indeed violate the 6th commandment with an "accomplice" who was an ordained cleric (is he under any penalty?). Guess with Rupnik running around free, they could hardly throw the book at this poor nun, the allegation against whom being still somewhat sketchy IMO.

Bishop Provokes with Transvestite-"Hermit"

@SonoftheChurch I hear you and certainly don't consider this person a male - but women as well can be hermits (anchoress is the term I believe), so there isn't the question of invalidity like you'd have for ordination to priesthood or diaconate. However, the deception AND the desire to capitalize on it, should definitely make this person unfit hold any special role in the Church as a contemplative.

Bishop Provokes with Transvestite-"Hermit"

Traditionally the eremitical life takes men who are very stable psychologically - in order to deal with the acute solitude. It's a life of extreme humility and abnegation. The fact that this person felt compelled to "out themselves" should raise red flags to those charged with his pastoral supervision. 🤔

Candace Owens who converted to Catholicism recently spotted at traditional Chartres pilgrimage in …

Well the medieval Church often sent penitents on pilgrimage to make reparation - so maybe some will cut Candace some slack. 😇

Pope Pummels Paxton on Illegal Immigration

You mean be "vicar of Christ" and care for the flock - strengthen the brethren? Nah, Francis rejected that old-fashioned, outmoded title!

What if one's religion - one's "god" - doesn't accept so-called "blessings" from you? Huh? 🤔 🤫 Once some Baptists came to a Catholic shrine that was also a tourist attraction of sorts. When the priest invited them to come forward at communion time to receive a "blessings' with arms folded across their chests [since 'unfortunately' he couldn't give them the Blessed Sacrament 'because we weren't in "full communion" yet' (sic - his words)]- the Protestants just sat in their seats ignoring him! I have more respect for them than the former.

Italy's falling birth rate is a crisis that's only getting worse

Yeah but don't you dare call young men & women to be fathers & mothers - cause you'll be called alt-right fascist sexist OR worse, a meddling layman heretic who denies that consecrated virginity is a higher state of life! 😬

Francis: "Homosexual Couples Cannot Be Blessed" (sic)

To quote Francis [emphasis added] : "To bless homosexuals is against the law, against the law of the Church, but to bless every person, why not" Uh, you answered your own question - because it's against the law of the Church. God's law really. True that God in His Mercy let's 'the sun shine on the righteous and wicked alike' But that's to give one time to repent.
