I would have arrested Chuck E. Cheese for murdering Billy Bob Brockali and his posse.
Liberals (pro-aborts) murder most people with Down Syndrome, so yes, libs dislike people with DS.
Do a lot of liberals dislike people with Down syndrome?
The greatest Irish poet will be found, of course, among the Irish Diaspora, among whom are all true Irishmen.
Italy has Dante Greece has Homer Germany has Goethe Rome had Virgil England has Shakespeare Who does Ireland have? Joyce? Pearse? Céitinn? Ua Laoghaire? Yet to come?
This went worse than I could've imagined. He called liturgists worse than terrorists, said the entire Church "isn't ready" to have adoration because of private adoration during (Rosary, etc.) and "thingifying the Eucharist", and refuses Confession on Sundays forever. God help us.

Ralph Martin says that his sudden termination by Abp. Weisenbuger was "a shock." When he asked the arcbishop for an explanation, "he said he didn't think it would be helpful to give any specifics but mentioned something about having concerns about my theological perspective."
As prophesied of old.

Why are there bishops who believe their job is to bully the flock? Lord, have mercy.
If the reports are true, I have a feeling that it will be due to his holding firm on sound sexual ethics and theological anthropology while publicly calling out highly placed ecclesiastics who have been advocating for the contrary. If so, this is really bad for Detroit.
If it’s true that Ralph Martin (leaving aside Edwardo Echeverria for now) was fired from Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit by the new Archbishop, or at his direction, we are seeing something horrific take place in that Archdiocese. This goes way beyond even the TLM dustup.

I never got into wrestling, but as a geriatric millennial, Hulk Hogan was still such an iconic name from my childhood, his death is just a little bit shocking. Eternal rest.

Randall Park says Hollywood keeps “taking the wrong lessons” from successful movies. “For example, ‘BARBIE’ is this massive blockbuster, and the idea is: Make more movies about toys! No. Make more movies by and about women!”
In Louisiana, you can feel this as the moist heat is pulled out of a couch you’re sitting on. The fabric goes from sticky to soft. If a sticky fabric couch sounds gross — and it is — definitely live somewhere else.
The heat capacity of the room’s walls, ceiling, furniture, is vastly higher than the heat capacity of the air, so most of the heat pulled out of a room by an AC actually came from the walls, ceiling, furniture, not the air. It just went thru the air as it was being taken out. 1/2
