“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference” (Elie Wiesel). I think C S Lewis wrote something similar.
The frivolity is a display of indifference. It says that most people don’t matter; perhaps that no one does. @nesrinemalik.bsky.social is onto an important truth here.
He’s still a dangerous idiot, even if his usefulness to some is past.
Franklin Graham will be most upset if you mention Ethiopians, or even Catholics.
Pope Leo blasted leaders who spend billions on wars and said the world was "being ravaged by a handful of tyrants", in unusually forceful remarks in Cameroon on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump attacked him again on social media. For @reuters.com
BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.
This is a serious escalation.

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU.

The previous Pope had to explain the ordo amoris to Vance, after Vance had misrepresented this aspect of moral theology. Now someone needs to explain to him that the church has long had a position on the morality of war. Vance would do well not to opine on religious matters.
All gathered up in the amorphous and increasingly meaningless word “woke”.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed
This morning I asked a tourist where he was from. He replied, “Oregon. Near Canada. Definitely not in the US.”
I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
“This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. “If Trump follows through and attacks civilian targets, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now. “MPs must be given a chance to hold the Government to account and prevent the UK from being complicit in war crimes and breaches of international law.” ED DAVEY MP

“Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace pursued by force, but through dialogue. Not with the desire to dominate the other, but to encounter them.” — Pope Leo XIV

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
<<"It has been nearly a decade since the first referendum. Looking at the current state of the economy and the cost of living, do you think the UK is better off rejoining the EU or continuing to forge its own path?">>
We are better off rejoining, so let's just do it!

Dear Christian,
If you’re demanding that the Ten Commandments be put up in public schools, but you’re not holding this president or his administration accountable to a single one of them, please don’t act like you actually take them seriously.
Pope Leo at Chrism Mass: “The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, and brings a new creation to light.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...
The Artemis moonshot is a great American achievement.
By the way, one crew member is Canadian. The service module, which keeps the astronauts alive, is built in Bremen. The communications depend on ground stations in the US, Spain and Australia.
Dear America- don't give up your friends too easily
Thank you. I hadn’t realised that 38 Degrees’ post was missing the link!

Hi America,
The best time to remove your president was quite a long time ago.
However, the good news is that the next best time is NOW.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
