Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron - Some commentators recently objected to Pope Leo’s revival of the ancient tradition of blessing lambs on the feast of St. Agnes. During the brief ceremony, the animals were gently held, blessed, and then returned to their caretakers. Yet this peaceful and symbolic moment was criticized as a form of cruelty and even as a violation of the spirit of Laudato si, on the grounds that the lambs were momentarily confined.
-
Such reactions illustrate a tendency in certain quarters of contemporary Catholic commentary to impose ideological lenses on practices that are at once traditional, humane, and sacramental in character. The impulse to read malice or contradiction into ordinary, even tender, gestures reflects a deeper anxiety to police symbols rather than to understand them. When every action is treated as a political statement or a moral transgression, reverence gives way to suspicion and common sense is displaced by performative outrage.
-
What these episodes reveal is not a newfound moral sensitivity but a loss of proportion. The Church’s rituals and symbols, especially those rooted in centuries of tradition, deserve to be interpreted with charity and theological depth, not subjected to the reflexive judgments of the culture wars.

Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr - MAJOR update: The woman who DOXED the ICE Director and his family has LOST HER JOB! Turns out the tables were turned on her and now she BIG MAD.
-
She made the announcement privately on a local community group and is upset that people dimed her out. So of course this was brought to us to HIGH FIVE all of you for pushing back against evil.
-
Heidi Scholes of Groveland, Massachusetts posted the home address of the ICE Director all over the internet, encouraging protestors to head to his house. His own CHILDREN AND WIFE have been made targets thanks to Heidi and her minions.
-
Heidi's Facebook profile says she's "radicalized by basic decency" - which is pretty ironic, considering there's no "decency" in doxxing.
-
Let's be clear - you target federal #lawenforcement and their families... and you make our naughty list. And you don't want to make our naughty list.
-
Because our team is made up of trained warriors, law enforcement, combat veterans... and people who are really, really good at unmasking and exposing evil. Go ahead and f around, leftists. You'll find out.

Bobbi @kittenaround_51 - Video: Ok now I must admit that is the first time I’ve ever seen cement trucks plowing snow. That's a smart way to use your trucks on the off season.
