Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.

It's hard to hear, but the gospel is simply incompatible with much of American culture and life today. To suppose that you can be a Christian without radically resisting much of what is considered normative in America is the heart of the country's enduring spiritual crisis.

Putin says Russia’s strikes are retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on refineries and warehouses.
But Russia began systematically targeting Ukraine’s energy grid in autumn 2022, before Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian refineries. 3/

Abortion rates in the United States have gone up 21%.
Everything the pro-life movement has promised the Catholic voter, has been proven false.

And @BishopBarron did a video in 2011 praising the Trappists Martys of Algeria who also said precisely the same things as Cardinal Vesco. Of all the stupid made-for-Twitter church scandals, this may be the stupidest.
Cardinal Vesco said the Church in Algeria isn't there to convert Muslims, and critics pounced. Watch EWTN's documentary: every other cleric says the same thing.
Presence and service are how the Church survives in Algeria, where proselytism is a crime.

Cardinal Vesco may not have the best approach to evangelism, but some of these criticisms aren't fair. Christian tradition excludes imprudent martyrdom.
If you can preach and believe in Christ in a way consistent with the Gospel, without sin, and avoid martyrdom, you have a duty to do that, and to preserve your life. It would be foolish and sinful to go out and preach the Gospel in an unnecessary manner, to get yourself killed, when you could preach it in other manners and remain alive to do God's will here on earth.
Cardinal Vesco wears the Cross and publicly identifies himself as a Catholic Christian, not only by his clothes, but by daily preaching the name of Christ in Algiers, a city where Christians have indeed been married for their faith, in our own lifetime. Given that reality, he has more courage in being Christian in hostile and dangerous areas, than virtually any of his critics, who sit behind keyboards, and have probably never went out on the street and talked to anyone about Jesus.

Faith can be embodied in all cultures, because it does not identify itself with any of them in a specific one. It dwells within them, shaping them from within according to the “form” of Jesus Christ; that is, through charity, service and the filial recognition of God’s fatherhood. In this way, the Church draws from the various cultures all that is good, beautiful and true, in order to embody and transmit the message of the Gospel. #GeneralAudience

Those who preach peace through capitulation won't tell you what russian occupation means.
russians occupied Izyum for less than 6m.
After liberation, we found mass graves of 447 ppl. Most of them were civilians — 215 women, 194 men and 5 children. Many bodies had signs of violent death.
This is what people with proud 'Christian' in their bios are pushing Ukraine for.

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive.
Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph. This renders useless, first and foremost, our interceptor drones. It doesn't limit our ability to attack inside Russia, it limits our ability to stop another apartment building or school full of civilians from being hit.
Wow, just wow.

“We feel we must disagree with those prophets of gloom, who are always forecasting disaster, as though the end of the world were at hand.
In the present order of things, Divine Providence is leading us to a new order of human relations…” Pope St. John XXIII

Lots of folks in the pro-life movement browbeat and shamed people for not supporting Trump, and now we have more abortions, the generic abortion pill, a completely watered-down GOP plank on abortion, and public executions. Absolutely pathetic and very, very sad.
Pope John Paul II taught that the death penalty should be restricted to cases of absolute necessity, which he declared were "very rare, if not practically non-existent"

I don’t think people realise the significance of Ukraine producing their own ballistic missiles.
Not many countries can do this.
Only 12 nations can build them.
Only 31 nations operate them.
ruSSia wanted to “demilitarise” Ukraine.
Instead, they woke a sleeping giant.

The consistent pro-life position is the Catholic one. No abortion, no euthenasia, no death penalty.
