Dignitas Infinita has a strong beginning talking about intrinsic human dignity, which is a key concept in moral theology. As this seemed to be overlooked, I wrote about this fundamental principle as Dignitas Infinita expresses it.
Santa is actually St. Nicholas. We know saints have had the power of bilocation. Once, we have bilocation, there is nothing to stop trilocation, quadlocation or billion-location. So Santa can simultaneously deliver many presents.
In case you were wondering, for Santa, in a single 24-hr Earth-night, to deliver presents to all those who celebrate Christmas, he must visit 25,000 homes per second.
Finally.
If you want to codify abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy you aren't in communion (small-c) with the Church in a clear public way. No communion, means no Communion (big-C).
This morning, a friend of mine attended Mass at St. Peter's. As he walked by the altar with the body of St. Pius X, whose feast is today, there was someone special in the pews... the Pope himself.
I read the Quran cover to cover. It was completely unconvincing. The Gospels are so much better religious texts, that they aren't even in the same category.
Every Christian I’ve met (I’m not over exaggerating) is scared to read the Quran.
It’s like they know they will find the Truth inside, and they’re afraid to be proven wrong.

If my friend kept abusive priests in parishes & shredded documents to hide the evidence while having a relationship contrary to chastity, he would be my EX-friend. I don't require every friend to be a saint, but there's a certain point I no longer consider someone a friend.
No priest would ever be dismissed from the clerical state for being TOO pro-life.
If you think that's the issue with Mr. Frank Pavone, I'd invite you look at his long history of disobedience to his bishop, vulgarity, misuse of human remains, etc.

This seems like it will be used for some trivia game: What do a list of WWE characters, George W. Bush, Michael Jackson, the USA & Jeaus have in common? All are top ten most edited Wikipedia pages.
Pray for the soul of Br Anthony Freeman, LC. He just finished 8-day spiritual exercises to be ordained a deacon soon & was the cross-bearer at the Pope's Easter Mass. He passed away in his sleep between last night and this morning.

#WorldAutismAwarenessDay
: I am autistic. I am coming forward to help present the Gospel to other autistics & to help Catholic autistics and their families.
It's inaccurate to claim that you always make decisions based on Catholic social teaching when you want abortion legal in all 9 months for any reason & want to force religious sisters to pay for contraception.
Can every sexually active priest please resign from their ministry?
Many - all abusers & the systematically unchaste - should resign from the priesthood altogether.
1st they came for the unborn & I did not speak up b/c I was born.
Then they came for the disabled & I did not speak up b/c I was not disabled.
Then they came for the elderly & I did not speak up b/c I was not elderly.
Then they came for me & there was no 1 left to speak for me
If you use IVF & a surrogate to bear "your child," you are depriving that child of both being made out of love & of a mother.
If this is what it means to be a "conservative," I would ask what ethical & family values are being conserved?
The real "Handmaid's Tale" of the 21st century: surrogacy, AKA renting another person's womb to make your baby. There's a reason this is illegal in most of the EU.
Can we please not put ads on cathedrals?
I know they are to help pay for the repairs of Barcelona's Cathedral, but they completely take away from the sacred nature of the building.
In the new Twitter terms of service, you must say, "Caitlyn Jenner won the men's decathlon at the 1976 Olympics."
In Orwell's 1984 this was called Newspeak.
Americans, I know this will be tough, but I think many of you need to hear this:
1. Politics should not be a religion
2. Religion should be more important than politics
NYC wants more statues of women.
Asks the public which women.
A saint who founded NYC schools gets the most votes, over double 2nd place.
NYC will build statues of the women getting the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 19th, 22nd, 24th & 42nd-most nominations.

Yesterday, my bike slipped out from under me & I got a Proximal Humerus Fracture (arm bone broken at connection to the shoulder). Pray for my recovery.

You should go to confession for this post & your disobedience. Given your public actions, I'd be worried about what the devil is whispering in your ear.
Modern trads: before Vatican II, every lay person knew & practiced their faith perfectly.
St. Jean Vianney: if we left you for a year without a priest, you'd all raise an altar to some pagan god.
Why is it so hard for some Catholics to realize both homosexual relations are a sin & homosexual tendencies aren't a sin despite clear teaching on the topic?
@DabneyRL
The proposed community note is perfect: "Despite being half the size of the Union Army, there were more than double the number of Confederate Army soliders captured and made prisoners."
If this is a Catholic priest, he is excommunicated. He is the antithesis of the "Chad" this person thinks he is.
On top of that, although telling your spouse you cheated can be given as advice in confession, it CANNOT be part of the penance.
A Catholic can't support the death penalty being legal.
A Catholic also can't support abortion being legal.
It's hypocritical to criticize others for doing one while you do the other. Our faith, not our party, should direct our politics.
Yes, the Quran is a very human book. It shows in its content that it is not a divine book.
The Quran is like Bible fan fiction. It is interesting, but far far from worthy of belief.
This is how you know a Christian has read neither the Bible (Torah, Prophets and Writings) nor the Qurʾan.
The only correct statement here is that the Gospels and the Qurʾan are different categories of books. One is from men, and the other is from God.
I am not against abortion because I'm Catholic. I'm against abortion because I'm human & it is wrong for humans to intentionally & directly kill innocent humans.
The Catholic Church is the source of many good things:

Tell me you have not read the history of the Popes from the 800s to the 1500s without telling me you have not read the history of the Popes from the 800s to the 1500s.
Abortion isn't a "reproductive right" - if you are seeking an abortion, you've already reproduced & the baby is alive as a separate human being with his or her own rights.
This is directly contrary to the guidelines in Fiducia Supplicans.
Fr. Richard should be removed from ministry temporarily & required to make a public retraction before returning. (I've known priests who were asked to take some time off from active ministry over less than this.)
History continues to be made in the church: a priest blesses a same-sex couple, according to the guidelines set out in "Fiducia Supplicans," in the Diocese of Lexington.
