POPE JOHN PAUL II: "We must defend the truth at all costs, even if we are reduced to just twelve again."

When Mehmed II and his janissaries smashed through the walls of Constantinople, Emperor Constantine XI and the last of the Byzantine defenders spilled every drop of their life’s blood rather than let the Hagia Sophia fall into heathen hands.
These gutless hacks just sold St Paul’s Cathedral to a bunch of pagan twinks for 30 pieces of silver.
St Paul’s Cathedral has signed a four-year partnership with London nightclub Fabric to stage contemporary music events inside the cathedral until 2030.
The first event will take place on 29th October. Artists have not yet been announced.
Fabric lost its licence in 2016 after two 18-year-olds died following drug use linked to the venue, before later reopening under stricter conditions.
St Paul’s says the partnership is intended to attract new audiences and create “unforgettable experiences” in the cathedral.
Pure satanism.

Do not be afraid to sow without immediately seeing the fruits. The sowing belongs to you; the growth belongs to God. No gesture carried out in the name of Christ is useless.

St. Augustine: “Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? What are criminal gangs but petty kingdoms? A gang is a group of men under command of a leader, bound by a compact of association, in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention… For it was a witty and a truthful rejoinder which was given by a captured pirate to Alexander the Great. The king asked the fellow, ‘What is your idea, in infesting the sea?’ And the pirate answered, with uninhibited insolence, ‘The same as yours, in infesting the earth! But because I do it with a tiny craft, I'm called a pirate: because you have a mighty navy, you're called an emperor.’” (City of God, Book IV, Chapter 4)

Finally, a deportation we can all agree on.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Kanye exec Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE in Louisiana.

I want to laugh, as Milo is a truly toxic figure who wants the same thing that’s happening to him done to millions of innocent people.
But the government really shouldn’t be picking people up for simply overstaying visas and then bragging about it on social media.
On August 27, ICE arrested Milo Yiannopoulos, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom, at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in Kenner, Louisiana. Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.
Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.
Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.

I thank His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex for his heartfelt congratulations on an important milestone for Ukrainians – the 35th Anniversary of the Restoration of Ukraine’s Independence. The people of Ukraine are grateful that there is always a place for us in the thoughts and prayers of His Holiness. The Vatican’s strong spiritual support has always been complemented by tangible humanitarian and other aid, including efforts to bring back our children abducted by Russia and to help advance the peace process. This spiritual and moral clarity, manifested in deeds, serves for many as a strong foundation for hope that this senseless Russian war will be brought to an end with dignity for Ukraine and Ukrainians. Thank you.
This is why true Christian Nationalism doesn't work. It forgets that God gave Adam and Eve a choice.
There is no true civil liberty without personal freedom—that is, without respect for and the promotion of the dignity of the human person, of which freedom is an essential component. Ultimately, this freedom is given and guaranteed by God, whose voice resounds in the conscience of every human being. #PastoralVisit #SanMarino

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

"There’s a common view in left-wing and right-wing populisms that solving problems is very easy intellectually and you just need to defeat and disempower the bad people. This is not a view that would survive serious learning about the history of basically any policy topic.
It’s actually quite hard to learn what works and why and to implement good ideas at scale. The Woke 1 problems of dogmatism, incuriosity, closed-mindedness, and sloppiness about the facts are not solved by switching the focus from identity to economics or by becoming right-wing.
You need to actually behave less dogmatically, more curiously, more open-mindedly, and more rigorously, and I don’t see a lot of evidence that the discourse is moving in that direction." | Woke 1 is dead. We’ve learned nothing, by @mattyglesias open.substack.com/pub/matthe…

Poverty isn’t an invention. It’s natural. It was the natural human condition everywhere in the world for hundreds of thousands of years. The average human being for thousands of generations lived on no more than a few dollars per day.
What is an invention? Wealth. Prosperity. And it wasn’t created by socialism.
