St. Gregory the Theologian tells us we are to be compassionate; how can we be so without empathy? The Pharisee in the Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee, thanks to his pride and vainglory, was neither Instead, he was judgmental, what brought forth his own ruin: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

Fundamentalism, though the term came out of Christianity, represents a problem found within the human condition; it is a way of being in the world, which is strict and simple, an ideological path which, when not overcome, ends up justifying cruelty and abuse: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

There are many reasons why this is evil. You don't deny basic human rights. We have obligations for POWs, let alone "detainees." And while we should care for all detainees, let's not forget, this will mean many Americans can die, too, for those who claim to care. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

At the Catholic University of America, I took coursework which engaged Christian-Muslim comparative theology, including one which was taught by an Ayatollah, giving me a much better, wider sense of Islamic theological possibilities: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Islam

Using MLK Jr day to say you plan to charge Don Lemon using the KKK Act is all an attempt to show KKK is now in charge

Pope Leo XIV points out that we are to follow our conscience. If it would have us resist our government, we must obey it, realizing it does not make us rebellious in nature: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Conscience #Trump

The Epstein files should be enough to have Trump locked up. But don't think Trump is concerned, as he feels he has full immunity while President. His actions are not about distracting us from the files. He knows his followers would support him. His actions are what he was always about.

Zacchaeus, and his metanoia, serves as an example of how with God, anything is possible, including the salvation of the rich: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Hope

Trump: I'm the peace president! I want to make the world safer. But if you don't obey me, I will cause chaos. It's your fault there is chaos. Be for peace and obey me! It's the mentality of one who engages spousal abuse.

Jesus used the Good Samaritan to teach his followers the way of love. When it seems Christians didn't get the point, now we have Renee Good; it's as if her last name is trying to let us know something...

So, Trump wants it for his feelings? people.com/donald-trump...

When I was chrismated, I chose St. Antony the Great to be my patron saint. As his feast day (Jan 17) is this weekend, I decided to reflect on my spiritual journey and the way he helped and continues to help shape it: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

I've warned people. It's more than just about immigrants. They went to control citizens www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

Let me get this straight, ICE is supposed to be looking for criminals in hiding, and yet, they actually end up hiding one? www.yahoo.com/news/article...

After 9/11, I became concerned about promoting Catholic teaching on Islam, telling Catholics (and everyone else) to get to know Islam and stop being prejudiced against Muslims: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Islam #Muslims

I have FINALLY digitised the thing #art #punk #comic #journal Part 1/3

Trump once again proves he is a racist, working with white supremacists www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Despite the way some Christians want to ignore climate change, its reality is around us. Our sins are hurting the world. Many of those in power know this and taking advantage of the situation. This seems to be the case with Trump and his interest in Greenland: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

Even though John had baptized Jesus, and in that way, pointed to the one who came after him, he still continued his own mission until the time of his death: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

ICE and the FBI are obstructing justice

Will what happened on 1-7-2026 by seen as the new "shot that was heard around the world"?

Let's not forget ICE wanted to unjustly control a woman's body, and MAGA thinks it is fine she died for saying no #ICE #Homicide

I’ve seen many Christians, many so-called conservatives and traditionalists, claim modern day Christianity ignores sin; often, I find what they mean is they want only a few sins to be dealt with and complain when other sins are brought up instead. www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Sin

The same people defending Renee Good's homicide are those who think Ashli Babbitt is a martyr. They say the driver should have obeyed two conflicting orders, but Babbitt had every right to ignore the police and break in a highly secure, restricted place, even after being warned not to advance.

Don't forget; someone trying to break into the Capitol building with a mob is not a danger or threat, but someone told to drive away and try to do so is the worst threat in the world and deserves to die. MAGA logic

Don't go to law school in Texas news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/t...

My engagements with Muslims began in High School, when I was still a Baptist, and so I had not yet properly learned the best way to engage such a dialogue, but even my early interactions with Muslims have had positive influences: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #dialogue #Muslims

Don't be fooled by those who try to both sides what is going on in the US; they are trying to have your anger go towards Democrats so they will never be able to work together against Trump. It is a way to help Trump. So many talk about distraction from Epstein. Both-sidesm is distraction from Trump

St John the Baptist elevated and revolutionized a Jewish ritual when he started baptizing penitents. Jesus brought his grace to the ritual, allowing it to become something even greater: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Christ #Baptism #Theophany

Republicans about migrants coming to the United States: "that's an invasion." Republicans when the US attacks another country, sending troops and the military in to attack and take it over. "That's not an invasion." 1984, we are there. Big Trump is watching you.

In the eschaton, we will find our contributions, no matter how great or small we appear to be in history, to be important, indeed, that without the “lesser” people, the “greats” in history would not be possible: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #History

"I am considering releasing this on YT" they say, after having finished a simple breathing loop to use as a visualiser for this very track 😅 Expect the YouTube release in February!

The threat Trump gave -- "convert" or else... Greenland is in his sights...

It's more. We are going full regime change. And now Trump has given Putin the justification to do the same thing with Ukraine Now Trump says Nicolas Maduro is captured? www.bbc.com/news/live/c5...

I utterly condemn the attack (and beginning of a war on the ground?) on Venezuela

I wonder how many right-wing Catholics attacking "Democratic socialism" because of "socialism," and attack anyone who has any positive engagement with "socialism" condemn Tolkien for saying he was following what William Morris started #WilliamMorris #Tolkien #Socialism #Catholic

Beginning this year with a piano improv, based on a fellow @newgrounds.com user who in turn based his song on a piece of artwork from yours truly I am considering releasing this on YT eventually, but I'll need to draw the visualiser first #newmusic #gameaudio #neoclassical #piano #sadpiano

Our faith should not be based upon miracles, apparitions, or other such supernatural signs: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Faith

So why are they taking away library funding?

The first non-Christian religion I took seriously was Judaism, and that is because of its connection to Christianity. When I studied it, I, however, learned that there was more to Judaism than traditional Christianity would engage, much which Christians should learn: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk...

Of course Congress won't do their duty to put a stop to this insanity www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Christians should realize justice, true justice, not only will contain an element of mercy, whatever action taken to stop some injustice must not be worse than the injustice itself: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Justice

The truth of Christ breaks through all the conventions, all the barriers which we construct around the truth, giving us a chance to constantly engage the truth in new ways, each greater than the one which came before: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Truth
