Luke 6 reveals a Gospel where God's blessings fall not on the comfortable, but on those who have known rejection, grief, hunger, and hope. justiceunbound.org/queeringluke6/

the new york times calling them "rebel Catholics" makes them seem way more cool than they actually are, lol. Oooh the latin mass, so rebellious...

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

This piece touches on what the science actually says about transgender athletes—and why Catholics should approach this conversation through the lens of human dignity rather than fear. www.newwaysministry.org/2026/07/03/h...

Worth a read for anyone trying to understand the schism happening in the American Catholic Church/Maga Catholic push. #catholic #SSPX open.substack.com/pub/maxwellk...

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

This echoes my experience. I went from trad EO (ROCOR) to trad Catholic. I saw outright antisemitism and white supremacism that got a yawn from the pastor. I suspect my oldest will leave the RCC because of the overemphasis of patriarchalism. There is a lot of cultish behavior and abusive behavior.

There's a type of catholic who are always so rabid and frothing at the mouth about excommunication that are absolutely furious right now lol

Right before the buzzer for Pride month www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/o...

You can’t own anything physical anymore, everything is digital, you can’t own anything digital now, storage is too expensive, you cant stream anything because they took it off the service once their parent company got bought out, you can’t get a McFlurry because the machine is broken

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

By the squishy Catholic and Uberliberal Pope Benedict XVI: “In many respects, democratic socialism was and is close to Catholic social doctrine and has, in any case, made a remarkable contribution to the formation of a social consciousness.”

Yesterday, the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing states to exclude transgender girls and women from school sports prompted many transgender advocates, journalists, and athletes to speak out.

The SSPX went ahead and consecrated new bishops in defiance of Pope Leo. All I can say is:

The Supreme Court’s latest ruling on trans sports reveals a much deeper problem with how we talk about transgender people. open.substack.com/pub/maxwellk...

The view Trump will push in church & state: the separation concept is a legal error and that Americans should view religion as an “essential support” and always remember “the Creator who made us and bestows our rights.” www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

This one needs to be more widely disseminated

Note that Exeter is one of the few places in the world where people are working on trans theology in a dedicated way. Depending on where these cuts fall, it could be genuinely disastrous for this tiny field, where individual researchers make a proportionally larger contribution to the field overall

They’ve definitely become quite emboldened to just… spell it out

zines are not a crime

Chilling.

Never did I think I would see a cure for sickle cell in my lifetime. A friend of mine in fifth grade died from this disease. My parents kept me home from the funeral because they thought I was too young to handle it. Modern science is a miracle. www.wafb.com/2026/06/23/n...

Phenomenal

Frequent home church? No infant baptism? Promotes a patriarchal and racist heiarchy? Disagrees fundamentally with the Popes? Favorite part of Mass is the sermon? My dude isn’t Catholic. He’s a Southern Baptist.

Me and the boys laughing as we travel back in time billions of years to fill the atmosphere with nitrogen and invent photosynthesis to sabotage the Reflecting Pool

For all the right-wing Catholic sneering about how the libs believe the history of the Church began in 1965 their narrative of Vatican II more or less is that the history of the Council began in 1958 when the jolly fat placeholder Pope for no reason at all randomly called a council

I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.

btw the reason they don’t like Pride month is because they want lgbtq people to feel bad about themselves

St Teresa of Avila writing her Autobiography: I’m only writing this under the pain of obedience but I shall write throughout how indeed I am such a wicked person JD: No one asked for this & converting to the One True Church I’ll now explain where the Popes, bishops & most Catholics have gone wrong

Catholic discourse every June: “Stop making it about LGBTQ people.” *proceeds to make it about LGBTQ people*

I'm sure nothing about this can go wrong

1/ What kind of God is being presented to LGBTQ Catholics? That's the question Emma and I ask in our latest episode responding to Fr. Mike Schmitz and Kim Zember's recent EWTN video, "Can You Be Gay and Catholic?"

Pride month is the time of year it becomes obvious that the most vocal folks against LGBTQ rights/inclusion don't actually have good arguments. They just like to be angry and loud.

Oh good Bishop Barron is doing an interview with the politician who posed doing two thumbs up in front of prisoners at CECOT

Trump administration confirms it’s restoring LGBTQ+ youth crisis line it eliminated last year www.advocate.com/pol... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Pride can be understood as a lived theology of human dignity that emerged from LGBTQ experiences of marginalization and, like liberation theology and Catholic Social Teaching, offers moral insight through the voices and struggles of those pushed to the margins. open.substack.com/pub/maxwellk...

In public health, you learn an awful lot about people willing to profit off of harms to children. But my jaw is on the floor. It never occurred to me that the sentence “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital” would ever be followed by the phrase: “But here’s the thing.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
