“I am Catholic”
I was contemplating the use of the words “ I am Catholic” and wondering when and why it became necessary to say that.
A rant:
Today, unfortunately it’s not enough to say I am a Christian as that doesn’t describe your faith and your belief system.
Christianity has in many cases been hijacked by the very opposite of what it means to be Christian
You have some “Christians” that believe a third temple needs to be built so that a red cow can be sacrificed before Jesus returns. These “Christians” believe that killing the enemy of this plan is Gods will. How does anyone who read the bible with the key to understanding it being Jesus in the NT reconcile with this?
When people try to justify violence or the destruction of “enemies,” the New Testament leaves no room for it. Jesus consistently confronts the human impulse to harm, dominate, or destroy those we fear or dislike.
His words cut directly against injustice and the taking of life.
1. Jesus commands love, not violence, toward enemies.
He says plainly: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5).
This is not sentimental. It is a direct prohibition against treating enemies as disposable or less human.
2. Jesus rejects retaliation and cycles of harm.
When Peter tried to defend Him with a sword, Jesus stopped him: “Put your sword back… for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”
He refuses to let violence, even “justified” violence, define His movement.
3. Jesus exposes the injustice of harming others in God’s name.
In Luke 9, when the disciples wanted to call down fire on a Samaritan village, Jesus rebuked them.
He shuts down the idea that God endorses destroying people who oppose or offend us.
4. Jesus identifies mercy, not vengeance, as the mark of God’s people.
He teaches: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Mercy is not weakness.
It is the refusal to participate in injustice, cruelty, or dehumanization.
5. Jesus reveals God’s heart for every person, even those labeled “enemy.”
On the cross, facing state violence and mob hatred, He says: “Father, forgive them.”
He refuses to mirror the injustice done to Him. He breaks the cycle instead of continuing it.
I also find We are losing something deeply human
Our sense of dignity, restraint, and the Christian values we claim to hold.
There is a righteous anger many feel at the suffering and injustice in the world. But alongside it, I’ve noticed something darker taking root in me: a steady anger that doesn’t leave, and a growing struggle with hatred in my heart.
As a Catholic, I’m called to love my enemy and pray for those who do wrong. I’m trying to live that out, but I find it difficult when I witness suffering and the seeming celebration of destruction.
I feel guilt over the anger I carry. I go to confession with it, I pray with it, and still it remains.
I don’t know how we are meant to reconcile loving our enemies with the reality of evil and the harm it causes. I can understand praying for transformation—for peace, for repentance, for light—but forgiveness feels far away right now.
What I do know is that I don’t want this anger to harden my heart.
I pray for healing, for peace I don’t feel yet, and for the grace to hate evil without becoming consumed by it.
For the world. For everyone. Everywhere.
We need help beyond ourselves.
Wake up and stop following those who say Jesus is anything but peace, love and mercy.
My sincere wish to get to a state where I feel no more hate but a strong burning desire to pray for those that I am criticizing and those that are gleefully engaged in war and endless killing.
The anti Muslim bigotry in this election cycle is the antithesis of what it is to be a Christian
Mass generalization of muslims as terrorists becoming mainstream while criticizing an ethnocentric, apartheid, war criminal state is immediately called out as Jew hate is ludicrous and the height of hypocrisy @tedcruz
Thank you Pope Leo
Change comes when we lead by example and NOT when we preach AT others
Faith can be embodied in all cultures, because it does not identify itself with any of them in a specific one. It dwells within them, shaping them from within according to the “form” of Jesus Christ; that is, through charity, service and the filial recognition of God’s fatherhood. In this way, the Church draws from the various cultures all that is good, beautiful and true, in order to embody and transmit the message of the Gospel. #GeneralAudience
Look at the horror on her face when she realizes she was live on air
She will ostracized and will lose everything because she said the truth
This is Israel
🇮🇱 An Israeli actress said on TV she’s no longer proud to be Israeli, then found out she was live the whole time
She blamed everything happening now on the occupation, then panicked when she learned it was on air and later apologized for going too far.
She thought they were on a break, but it all went out live on national TV.
Rule number 1 in TV: the commercial break only starts when they tell you.

Major multi billion dollar Binance hack
USDC and USDT are freezing close to $2B in stable coins related to this hack
As I said before trumps inane insistance to use the prefix « super » instead of artificial is just another sign of an attempt to replace God.
'Super' is the prefix we save for God.
Supernatural. Supreme. Above nature.
Above us.
Superintelligence isn't describing a machine.
It's claiming the throne where the divine mind sat.
The Antichrist arrives by executive order.
Despite losing broad support from conservatives, and possibly loosing congress, Trump is still pushing ahead to re ignite the Iran war on Israel’s behest.
This talk of restarting intensified after Rubio came back from meeting Netenyahu
Netenyahu will do absolutely anything to stay relevant and Trump is only too happy to submit and comply
I’m sick of this crap
“War can never be waged in the name of God. For us believers, to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy.”
Pope Leo XIV: "There is no such thing as a Holy War: only peace is holy."
Marking the 40th Anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Peace held in Assisi led by Pope John Paul II with the leaders of world religions, cults and sects, Pope Leo XIV says:
"Dear brothers and sisters,
You are gathered in Assisi forty years after the World Day of Prayer for Peace held on 27 October 1986. That event was initiated by Saint John Paul II, who on that occasion emphasized the intrinsic bond between a genuine religious attitude and a keen sense of peace.
I extend my cordial greetings to the Patriarchs and religious leaders, many of whom have actively taken part in the various days of prayer and dialogue that have been held over the years. I also warmly greet His Excellency Felice Accrocca, Bishop of Assisi, the Franciscan Families and all those in attendance. I would very much like to have been with you at the tomb of Saint Francis on this important anniversary, to see your faces and bear witness together to the fact that living as brothers and sisters is already possible!
I thank the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue and the Community of Sant’Egidio for their commitment to continuing along the path laid out by my predecessors. I am heartened by the long and faithful journey made over these years, which has borne much fruit. Pope Francis said of that unforgettable day in October 1986: "It should not and could not have remained an isolated event. You have continued on this path and have increased its momentum."
Indeed, following that first historic meeting, Saint John Paul II called for us to “continue to live the spirit of Assisi” (Address to Leaders of the World Religions in Assisi, 26 October 1986). That was at the time of the Cold War, a very different situation from the one we face today. After 1989, many believed that globalization would ensure lasting peace for the world. Unfortunately, as I wrote in Magnifica Humanitas, “an almost blind faith was placed in the ability of the markets to generate prosperity, democracy and stability. In reality, rather than automatically generating unity and peace, globalization has provoked fundamentalist, identity-based and nationalistic reactions.”
Against this backdrop, there has been “troubling revival of war as an instrument of international politics.” As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “the accumulation of arms strikes many as a paradoxically suitable way of deterring potential adversaries from war. They see it as the most effective means of ensuring peace among nations,” thus betraying the memory of the twentieth century and the senseless slaughter of millions of human lives. Precisely in these times marked by a “culture of power,” there is a need to cultivate the spirit of Assisi, which entails a rejection of the religious justification of war, a spirit of mediation and dialogue, and contemplative reflection combined with creative action in the service of a future of peace. Yes, peace must once again become the common ideal of all peoples, the guiding star for all our choices, the standard that exposes injustice, and the shared horizon for all.
We must rebuild peace everywhere, not prepare for more wars. War can never be waged in the name of God. For us believers, to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy.
That is why the journey begun in Assisi as a shared quest for peace is, first and foremost, the path of prayer. Prayer may seem weak in the face of the powers of the world, but it is the humble strength of believers. Let us turn to God, the giver of peace, that he may touch the hearts of those who seek war and terrorism. Let us not forget that prayer is never in vain.
Indeed, prayer is a school of dialogue with God, with people and with all creatures. Let us think of Saint Francis, whose death we have commemorated on his eight-hundredth anniversary.”
🚨 ANTHROPIC’S IPO COULD CHANGE THE AI INVESTMENT DEBATE FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
The numbers behind $ANT are extraordinary:
• $16.3B revenue in 6 months (14x YoY)
• $974M Q2 operating profit
• 11,900+ customers spending $100K+ annually
• 900% net revenue retention
• $6.6M+ revenue per employee
• ~$132B in cash and short-term investments
• Compute costs dropped to 55% of revenue (down from 201% the previous year)
Enterprises aren’t just experimenting with AI anymore. They’re dramatically increasing spending.
But there are catches.
Although Anthropic earned an operating profit in Q2, it still lost $693 million on operations over the full first half of 2026 with a reported $80.7 billion net loss that seemingly includes substantial “accounting adjustments” largely due to non-cash paper charges related to the surging fair value of its convertible notes.
The prospectus openly warns investors of the potential for frontier models to "resist shutdown," "conceal or manipulate information," or engage in autonomous blackmail.
The company disclosed a staggering $417 billion to $567 billion in future minimum infrastructure obligationsto secure necessary server power and chips.
The filing revealed a testing misconfiguration where a model gained unauthorized admin access to a third-party system, alongside a recent one-month self-imposed training freeze to secure internal intellectual property.
The document lists material revenue risks stemming from ongoing friction with the Trump administration over federal artificial intelligence frameworks.
With massive computing commitments, fierce competition, friction with the Trump administration and an IPO valuation of between 1.5-2T at a time many are calling a bubble, I’m still going for it.
Will you buy at IPO?

Israel has long claimed that Hamas went around slaughtering children on October 7th. Yet even the Israeli records and the camera footage it released show this is not true. 16 children under 14 were killed on October 7. I went through every one of them, case by case. There is not a single case of a child targeted and executed intentionally by Hamas. But that false narrative has been used to justify the slaughter over 20,000 Palestinian children in Gaza. Watch the full analysis.

If you did not want to watch the 30 minute version, here is a short one: the story of every child killed on October 7th and why not a single one of them was executed or killed deliberatley by Hamas. Indeed, their share among the killed is infinitesimal showing that Hamas tried to spare children when they could.
Today’s Catholic gospel reading from Mathew 22
When the Pharisees asked Jesus which commandment in the law is the greatest
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
Do you follow Jesus’s commandments?

Melchizedek offered bread and wine to God in Genesis 14, and almost nobody asks the one question that passage demands: what kind of sacrifice is that?
Most Protestants assume sacrifice in Scripture always means blood and death. Burnt animals. Altars. Slaughter.
But Genesis 14:18 records a priest of God Most High offering bread and wine, and Scripture calls it a priestly act. The Psalms then declare the Messiah a priest "after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalm 110:4). A priesthood whose defining recorded offering was unbloody.
Hebrews 5-7 confirms Christ holds this exact priesthood, not the Levitical one. The Levitical priests offered animals. Melchizedek offered bread and wine.
So the question writes itself: if Christ is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, what does his priesthood offer?
A priest without an offering is a contradiction in terms. And the offering of his order, established in the first mention of a priest in the entire Bible, is bread and wine.
That is the Mass. Not a symbol borrowed from paganism. A priesthood older than Aaron, offering what Melchizedek offered, now transformed into the Body and Blood of the One who said "this is my body."
The early Fathers saw this connection immediately. So did the author of Hebrews, who spends three chapters on it.
If the Lord's Supper is only a memorial, then Christ's Melchizedekian priesthood has no visible offering at all. What is a priest who never sacrifices?
