Pope Leo XIV is calling for what the Judeo Christian Scriptures have called us to since ancient times; repentance and conversion.
It is political and ideological warfare that have attempted to rip apart the concept of holiness from ecology. In the beginning, it was not so.
Go back to Adam & Eve, but esp Cain & Abel, to see it. Failure to listen to God is tied to a ruined relationship with Creation.
While wealthy lay on couches and required laborers to work the land til it was fruitless, the prophets cried out. We see such a scene repeated over history again & again.
A photo of the Pope blessing an ancient block of glacier ice has upset some religious folks who say his call for integral ecology is ignoring "more important things."
What is the relationship between conversion & stewardship of God's Creation?

Sigh.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for mRNA vaccine development is the "most dangerous public health decision" ever, epidemiologist Michael Osterholm said.
Dear God,
Why did you create ragweed?

P.S. I Googled it, and wow, that's a lot of answers. OK, you win...

Most climate denial falls into one of five general categories:
It’s not real
It’s not us
It’s not bad
We can’t fix it
It’s too late
Conspiracy theories about secret experiments have been around for decades and they fall solidly into category 2 above: “it’s not us, it’s THEM”

I just started listening to the KTOTV.com Rosary podcast from Lourdes (in French). Can anyone explain why they don't include the Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen)?
I thank God for the medicine of music.
LOL
I ask you to join me in praying for the safety, well-being, and guidance of all judges in the United States of America who still defend her Constitution.

Catholic influencers are saying it's sinful to break the law.
From the Catechism: "The citizen is obliged in conscience not to follow the directives of civil authorities when they are contrary to the demands of the moral order, to the fundamental rights of persons or the teachings of the Gospel."

Imagine that your godfather becomes the Pope 😲
That's what happened to Mildred!!
She was named after Pope Leo XIV's late mother. Now she's grown with two children, and has a great devotion to John Paul II. What a blessing; her godfather now holds the same office as JPII!

I've been so tired for the last week or so battling the flu that I've hit the point of crying every day
The good thing about it, though, is reminding me of a beautiful teaching from Pope Francis which he passed on from the saints; "the gift of tears."
When we find ourselves weeping, we can grow.
The 10th Anniversary of #LaudatoSi is approaching.
I hope the universal Church will continue to learn from the wisdom of indigenous cultures. To combat the evils of modernity, we need to rediscover our identity as members of God's Creation, and as all relatives.

Despite congressional comments, there is no confusion. The Copyrights office in the Library of Congress is a legislative branch office.
Art I sec 8 "The Congress shall have the power to ... promote the Progress of Science and ... Arts, by securing for limited Times ... exclusive rights..."
Sentence that sums up today in America:
"Popes are people, too!"
Technically, yes. Pope Francis represented Latin Americans well. However, his family was Italian.
Pope Leo being both a citizen of North & South America (with family heritage from all over the place) makes him feel moreso like the first truly American pope to me.
It's the story of America that we hold in our genes. ❤️💙
Let's gooooo 🙌🏼
The Augustinian cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff in history—and, according to genealogists, the first of African ancestry since the fifth century.
Is he the first Black pope? @natemup.com dives in. www.blackcatholicmessenger.org/pope-leo-xiv...
