There's only so many ways God could have interacted with man. God could be evil and toying with us but we can flip the problem of evil around. What about the problem of goodness? If God is evil then why do we love so tenderly? Why do the birds sing so beautifully? Why do we laugh with our friends?

Confident in my ability to properly navigate, I enter the strait. I smile at my opponent. The IRGC commander does not return the gesture. He'd be more handsome if he did, I think. He launches. A Zafar missile passes cleanly through my hull and breaks my keel, killing me and my crew instantly.

Ok guess it's time to post the meme

Is Trump going to give the Pope part of the US and make him live there? What does this even mean?

I don't think we are talking enough about the astounding historical twist that one of the most powerful institutions standing up to defend liberal democracy around the world today is the Papacy

you have committed a climate crime by posting on an app that is backed by data centers, I'm calling antifa

When the government agrees not to destroy all human life for no reason for at least two weeks

For a barrel of laughs watch THREADS (1984)

Good morning! Doomscrolling got you down? Here are the things you can think about instead: - The cheese - Pelicans - Henry Walden Thoreau - Cybersnacks - Goldenrod - the Most Merciful Cowboy - Elfs - One toothpick only - Welkins the Rescuer - Fish and chocolate chips - Bird head - Tomata - Molluscs

I just do not think he will use nukes. Carpet bombing or even precision strikes on civilian infrastructure would be bad enough.

By the helpless cry of orphans, we beseech Thee hear us By the anguished tears of widows, we beseech Thee hear us By the groans of the dying, we beseech Thee hear us By the dead in unleashed graves, we beseech Thee hear us That Thou wouldst make all nations to dwell as one, we beseech Thee hear us

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen"

"Angela of Foligno (d. 1309) was only canonized due to church politics"

There were 219 canonizations between 1986-2026. There were 241 between 1586-1985. I have a 1985 reprint of Butler's Lives of the Saints from 1954 that has over 2500 entries. Most canonized saints predate the papal canonization process.

New Model/Actriz is good

Yet another secret plan for peace with honor

Advances in computer technology have significantly reduced the amount of paperwork and time necessary to complete a canonization

Famously no other nation has ever had faith in God

Pope Leo at Easter Urbi et Orbi: “Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

The First Station: "Every person in authority will have to answer to God for the way they exercise their power." Jesus says, "whatever you do to another human being, especially to the small and vulnerable, you do unto me. And it is to me that you will one day give an account."

I'm the Scatman!

Getting faded off that carrot cake

Jacobus de Voraigne in 1259:

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for yours are all the nations

Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous

Vigil was kind of a shambles at times but ultimately fufilling

Christ is risen!!!!

They decided to have someone else do it at the last minute and then they did it wrong 😭

I’m sorry but even if you’re not religious I think you need to recognize that Donald Trump is literally Satan from the smash hit bestseller The Bible

Easter Vigil thunderstorm tonight ☔️

I really don't rate anything below 1 star so for me a 3 star film is high mid (effectively being a 5 on a 9 point scale).

Gonna be proclaiming the alleluia later. Y'all want anything?

"Let us all pay tribute to him who strikes terror, who cuts short the life of princes, who strikes terror in the kings of the earth."

For the people who missed it

It's going to be really funny if the Freakanomics guys are behind this too

Me n who

Going back to IRC where mods can actually help me if I spill my jice

If something is 80% in one language and 20% in another does that make it bilingual?

Gonna have to stop recommending Schmitz to people too huh. Really just no good Catholic "content" widely available in English in the YouTube space huh.

can't be sturdy cottageposting on main

I might have to mention the rubrics in the next liturgy committee meeting 😅

Pregame music for the Celebration of the Passion of Our Lord

From the ambition of empire, deliver us O Lord From the greed for territory, deliver us O Lord From the blindness that is injustice, deliver us O Lord From the selfishness that is theft, deliver us O Lord From the liberty which is license, deliver us O Lord

Having twelve beers on my day of fasting and penance to keep up my strength as God intended

I really should do a WAKE UP DEAD MAN/PASSION OF THE CHRIST/THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY triple feature

Fr. Wicks was not available to celebrate the Passion of the Lord at the Pentagon this year

has trump tried challenging iran to a gundam fight to open the strait?
