I’m playing Stalker 2 but I feel like I’m playing Eldin Ring because I keep getting killed by fucking dogs.

Trads are the dumpster divers of Catholic history.

Bishop Aquila’s diocese needs the Strickland treatment.

You know Fr. Ripperger is a fraud because he saw no need to exorcise Mar-a-Lago.

Make iron lungs great again!

Breaking up families is a grave violation of natural law.
