“In a world of noise, confusion and conflict it is necessary that there be places of silence, inner discipline and peace: not the peace of mere relaxation but the peace of inner clarity and love based on ascetic renunciation.” —Thomas Merton

In post Vatican II letter issued to Fort Worth, Bishop Olson limits communion under both species to special occasions and certain feasts, marking a step backwards from the norm and desired fullness of the sacrament.

Posted 23 hrs ago by @feministnews.bsky.social "The ad says "He loves." It doesn't say what. That’s deliberate. Starting this past Wednesday, spots featuring the president began running on Fox News and Newsmax, tagged "Paid for by the U.S. Government." Those spaces were chosen to ensure Trump..."

This wee, the White House spent $443,000 of taxpayer money running pro-trump ads on Fox News and Newsmax ahead of the midterms.

The white house calls them public service announcements.

Trump is the further thing from a public servant.

"He loves"? He loves himself. And only himself.
