Men and boys, don’t rape or associate with rapists. And if you know of a rape, especially but not only while it’s currently going on, freaking call the police and tell your “friends “ you’ve done so. Silent revulsion helps not one single person. That’s the only message here

Kid moved to Minneapolis to follow their dreams (yay/sob) and of course took their dog Flash. He’s getting winter gear and we’re getting pictures. This is my favorite, which my son has dubbed “medieval serf.” The next is what my daughter names “My father paid to get me into Yale”

When a bishop takes office, he’s asked to make this promise before God and the entire Church: “Do you resolve, for the sake of the Lord’s name, to be welcoming and merciful to the poor, strangers, and to all who are in need?” It isn’t an adjunct of his ministry. It’s core to the entire sacrament.

The plan should be jurisdiction stripping. Per Constitution A3S2, SCOTUS has original jurisdiction over "Disputes involving ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and cases where a U.S. state is a party" everything else derives from Congress. They want originalism, they get originalism.
