My wife and I adopted a baby boy who contracted spinal meningitis. On the feast of St Gemma Galgani, who had been healed of spinal meningitis as a child, he was completely healed. Weeks earlier, not ever having heard of the saint, I had approved naming a chapel after her.

Catholicism is a civilizing force. A well-ordered society has at its heart the altar of the Blessed Sacrament. We will realize this truth one way or another.
Small group is reading Gyges’ Ring in Book 2 of Plato’s Republic tonight. Wife made a fitting cake. ⬇️
All political problems are ultimately theological problems. Exhibit A: The evangelical belief it is better to support “God’s chosen people,” the Jews, over false Christians, eg, Catholics and Orthodox.
1. Joel says multiple heinous statements. 2. People, especially Catholics, are outraged at heinous statements. 3. Joel's defenders claim its "cancel culture" of "woke right." 4. Create threads ⬇️ blaming those who call out Joel. What is impoverished thought process is this?
The Woke Right are currently trying to cancel Joel Berry of The Babylon Bee. Many of the WR "influencers" and "thinkers" have joined in on this cancellation attempt, at least to some capacity. This thread will show this cancellation attempt for what it is. 🧵 ... (1/34)

Homer does not mention the gods in the City at Peace. He only mentions them in the City at War. What did Homer mean by this? 🧐
BREAKING Babylon Bee's Joel Berry has falsely claimed that the Catholics at Holy Family Parish 'aid and support the terror regime' and 'they all support Hamas' It comes as part of a 3 day long meltdown by Berry at global rage over the killing of 3 Christians at the church
