Maybe we’ll get to see the first American pope in history be the first pope to excommunicate the US vice president

Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
some verses from James 5 to keep in your heart this International Workers' Day and Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker <3

There is a story of Saint Maria of Paris that when, in occupied France, a Nazi solider approached her and asked her if she knew of any Jewish people she replied "Yes" and went and directed the solider to an icon of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus.
So I think, if a govement officer approches you and asks you if you know of any illegal immigrants you too can do as the saint did then and direct them to an icon of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus.

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

FOR THE LAST TIME
👏 APOSTASY is the rejection of a faith after having professed it;
👏 HERESY is selective belief in only some of the tenets of a faith one professes, or belief in tenets contrary to those of a faith one professes;
👏 BLASPHEMY is derogation of the honour due to God.

I'm so genuinely heartened to see Pope Francis make this statement for the dignity and sanctity of Palestinian life.
The "Nativity of Bethlehem 2024" unveiled by Pope Francis, crafted by Palestinian artisans from Bethlehem, shows the infant Jesus laying on a Keffiyeh.
Around the star of Bethlehem above are the words "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:14) in both Latin and Arabic.




The Pope also made this statement:

It's so important this Advent to remember that Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, and that there is an ongoing genocide against the very people through which He came to us. We cannot contemplate Biblical Bethlehem without remembering the horrors that plague modern day Bethlehem.
On a personal note, as a trans Catholic-in-training, I've been pretty disappointed with Pope public statements recently on issues such as trans rights, so I'm glad to see him make a stance on the right side of history.
