2001: NEVER FORGET
2025: They forgot.

I hope this will counteract the Table that has taken over the United States.

Fr. Ripperger talked about the five generals of satan (the Table) and how our culture has been put under their control.

Heard y'all all the time in Chicago.

“inhuman treatment of immigrants” That should be “inhuman treatment of ILLEGAL immigrants”. There's a major league difference. There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant. The correct term is Illegal Alien. The left uses the word "immigrant" to include illegals to push an agenda, I'm n...

According to the 2006 definition, a planet has to be "dominant in its immediate neighborhood", dominant meaning "the biggest object", which Pluto is not because Eris is bigger. But the other 8 planets absolutely are the biggest thing in their immediate neighborhood. Some complai...

In Arizona, we have Porters of St. Joseph. https://portersofstjoseph.org/

My parish has armed guards and they are trained.

This is true of American liberals in general which is why they have hijacked public school systems - to indoctrinate other people's children since they have so few of their own. That's the left's way. If left to themselves, the left would contracept, abort, homosexualize, transmultilate, and euthan...

This makes me concerned about Pope Leo XIV. Make me believe he's just Francis II.

This is in my state, is this in Phoenix?

One thing I liked about 45 was that he nuked the H-4B visa, which was used to allow spouses of H-1B visa holders to work. "Outsource 1 job and get 1 free" 47, is pro-H-1B now. He even put Mr. H-1B Lover Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Techies are doomed to a terrible job market now. I d...

Interesting how SOCAS only applies one way

Double standard = corruption.

So Adam and Eve were created good. Were they created Holy too?

When they fell, they lost God's grace and thus no longer holy.

You're taking a fundamentally Pelagian line of thought. We do not get to Heaven by being good. Period, end of story. One cannot be good without God's grace. Not true. One cannot be holy without God's grace. I know, we get to heaven through God's grace. I thought God's grace also makes us good as we...

Another factor is the catch-22 being enforced by employers, basically making degrees less valuable or worthless.

We hear people being told that they "got worthless degrees" when they studied liberal arts, which is a result of the catch-22.

Welcome

i thought that goodness comes from God's grace. One cannot be good without God's grace. I recall the saying “there but for the grace of God go I” Creating someone is an act of Grace. We have no entitlement to existence, God gives us existence as a free gift like Grace. Guess I was wrong about that. ...

I pray for his soul.
I pray for Pope John Paul III or Pius XIII or Benedict XVII to be elected.

That's why I asked the question.

I notice that the usual suspects* who complain that "Tariffs costs the average family...." are 100% SILENT about how much income taxes, and other federal taxes cost the American family. That says volumes. * I mean like the propaganda media, those who have political agendas to push, etc.

Obi-Wan Kenobi wrote: ↑Mon Apr 07, 2025 2:51 pm Another point: We don't get to Heaven by being good. We get to Heaven by being holy, which is the result of an unmerited, unearned gift of grace.

What is the difference between good and holy? Only God's grace?
