Also, we probably do not want a president with authoritarian tendencies figuring he is hell bound so what does he have to loose.

As a Christian who believes in Heaven and Hell, good and evil, I sincerely mean it when I say that this quote is Trump allowing the Evil One to speak through him

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, Al and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money."

Let us remember that Christ served his last moments ministering to prisoners. One of Pope Francis' last public acts was offering mass to prisoners.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Maduro’s government dismantled democratic institutions, jailed opponents, and rules through military patronage. Yet U.S. sanctions have worsened hunger and migration. A coherent left position condemns state repression and foreign coercion alike, insisting on Venezuelan self-determination.

Use of "the primitive Church" or "the Early Church" or "the Undivided Church of the First Millennium" as some discrete entity, extrinsic to us, that can be referred to as an "authority" to help spatiotemporally removed subjects adjudicate something, belies an already terminally faulty ecclesiology.

It is quite a deliberate choice to allow an editorial in a church bulletin that defends Christopher Columbus (if transparency it wasn’t the pastor himself).

It’s even more of an interesting choice when that editorial does so by paraphrasing Tony Soprano.

Brethren,
When we lead with our faith, we can accomplish wondrous things. Monday reminds us of this truth. Why Monday? Because it is the day our nation sets aside to honor the bravery and exceptional skill of Christopher Columbus, who navigated the Atlantic from Spain to the
"New World."

In this council (and I hope this parish) Christopher Columbus is a hero. He discovered "America", It's what he did. Because of his bravery in service to Christ we have this beautiful nation to call home.
Tomorrow, please take a few moments and remember the bravery of this Catholic hero, and how many good works still stem from his inspiration.
