ran into a woman at Mass who I distinctly remember from my time as a Deacon at St Thomas Moore. Her family was experiencing weird stuff. Was unsure of origin, but did a house blessing. She said to me in tears “Father, you have no idea how much our lives turned around to God after that day” 😭😭

Yet, we have archbishops informing the faithful in Diocesan media to avoid "influencers."

Catholic Social Teaching is at the foundation of our mission to uphold the dignity and protect the rights of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seeker. The Catholic Church outlines a shared duty to welcome the stranger because we are all created in God’s image.

The common good includes protecting the stability of family life, for by it the community is sustained on a most basic level; thus deportation policies that indiscriminately and brutally disrupt family life undermine the good of human society. The law itself should take this into account.

The biggest problem with integralism, I think, is they just want a moral justification for fascism. They don't want a Catholic state in order to promote virtue, evangelization, and care for the needy. They aren't even assuading a guilty conscience. They want it to be praised for pious aesthetics

In other words, the good/value is concrete, but our judgments about the good are abstract, which means they can differ in their abstractive viewpoint, while nevertheless being simultaneously true.

Private interpretation of the magisterium is not something conceivable in the Church’s traditional magisterium. Dei Verbum 10 is quite traditional on that point.

Yeah… Sheen’s writing across world war 2 is extremely pessimistic about war. He’s pretty consistent about that. Sheen got adopted by the right but he was pretty normal. mid-century American Catholicism is a different animal than what we’re all familiar with now and we kind of forget.
