  • Christian Dutifully Prays For Her Enemies, But If God Wants To Smite Them, That’s Okay Too - The Babylon Bee

    That means when people are unfair to me or say mean things to me online, I need to act with love and grace. Still, if God wants to start smiting those people with, like, thunder or maybe meteors… that’s up to Him. He’s His own boss.

    Solid theology. See a heavy influence from Aquinas.

  • China’s Warning to Biden - WSJ

    Mr. Yang added: “So we believe that it is important for the United States to change its own image and to stop advancing its own democracy in the rest of the world. Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States.” As we’ve noted, the Chinese like to echo the woke U.S. media critique of America.

    Glad to see WSJ cited the quote to Yang. Otherwise, I might have misattributed it to Brian Stelter or Don Lemon.

    The Family Home - Catholic Husband

    Our connection to the saints, is something exceptional within the theology of Catholicism. These holy men and women were people, just like us. They lived mostly ordinary lives except for their extraordinary virtue. If St. Joseph could attain holiness in the simple act of patching a hole in his home’s wall or addressing a leak from the roof, so can I.
