Yeah the pope should stick to issues of morality, like “blowing up school children is wrong,” “the richest country on earth owes its residents certain things,” “the poor deserve to be treated with dignity”
What do you think morality IS man?
exhausted historian of christianity screaming into the void, once again: christianity has never been apolitical. to wit: jesus was executed by the roman state.
What in the holy fuck was Bridge Colby thinking.
That’s always been my favorite line from The City of God.
Palm Sunday, 29 March 2026 This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco lelpo, OFM, the official Guardian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass. The two were stopped en route, while proceeding privately and without any characteristics of a procession or ceremonial act, and were compelled to turn back. As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This incident is a grave precedent, and disregard the sensibilities of billions of people around the world who, during this week, look to Jerusalem. The Heads of the Churches have acted with full responsibility and, since the outset of the war, have complied with all imposed restrictions: public gatherings were cancelled, attendance was prohibited, and arrangements were made to broadcast the celebrations to

Your article was *excellent*. In fact, it Still in an open browser tab, because I’m going to (again) reread it.
I think I’m the only person who understands REDS-based jokes. (Turns out, seeing REDS at the age of 13 in a theater leaves an impression)

I will never forget kGTD. I upgraded to OmniOutliner pro just to use it. You are one of two Schoonovers in my personal pantheon. (The other Schoonover was a miniature wargame designer — not as cool as a creator of kGTD, but pretty close).
Not looking forward to the next time we sing that at Mass. That’s going to be an awkward confession.
Commentary: If you are one of Ohio’s nearly 8 million registered voters, Sec. of State Frank LaRose just gave your full name, address, date of birth, driver’s license and partial Social Security number, to Trump's Justice Department ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/11/s...
And if you have a gravity furnace, do it twice as often.
I don’t, but I really wish I did.
Christian nationalism has become a driving force at the highest levels of the Trump administration, shaping policy in dangerous ways. Now, a new generation of Democrats, including James Talarico in Texas, are using their own faith to reframe progressive values and bring new voters into the fold.
“Iran has Tomahawk missiles, a fact we disclosed only after a Tomahawk was caught on camera striking a school, in Iran, during a US bombardment consistently of hundreds of Tomahawk missiles”

Suddenly, the creation of Kinkless GTD is the second most interesting thing about you that I know.

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words:
“retribution is coming”
List of favors to the oil industry from the Trump administration.
Big Oil flooded Donald Trump’s campaign with cash.
Now, they’re getting billions in handouts from his administration.
Good point. And without Reds, I might never have discovered Dorothy Day.
The key to a truly messed up adulthood is having read Robert Heinlein in grade school and watching Warren Beatty’s Reds before your fifteenth birthday. OTOH, it’s a great foundation for becoming Catholic in your 50s. Though my wonderful, but slightly conservative parish, might disagree.
This one hits hard.
i suspect that of all the people who fondly remember reading Robert Heinlein , I’m the most lefty.
As an old white nerd, I’m both happy that —and depressed that — I’m unable to understand nerd conversations.
They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.
Hi, humans. It’s God.
Thou shalt provide universal healthcare, like Jesus did, for free. You shouldn’t have to pay for cancer treatments by posting a GoFundMe on the Internet.
Love,
God

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
My somewhat conservative parish has been an exceptional example of Catholic acceptance.
