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

Seeing how positive the reaction to Father Jud in Wake Up Dead Man has been confirms my belief that most people—even dyed in the wool atheists—desperately, desperately want Christians to live up to the ideals they profess.

That’s why I don’t take it personally or get offended when a person rails against Christianity. Their anger often comes from a place of profound, justified disappointment. And if a person can be disappointed, they’re still looking for good in this world. And if they’re looking for good, we’re looking for the same thing.

Hero of the Year 2025

I'm calling it early - I doubt anyone will beat The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde

(I sure hope I've addressed her correctly)

For the most stunning act of bravery, class, integrity, and speaking truth to power that has graced the USA in far too long.

Not a single shake in her voice as she spoke directly to one of the most vengeful, spiteful, and (unfortunately) powerful people on the planet, while also receiving glares of hate and outrage from the despicable VP and his wife.

It's not the first time she's stood up for what is right in defiance of trump's actions, but while many may speak out on it, there have been scarcely any with the backbone to follow through on the opportunity to do it to his face, and especially on live television. She had her moment, and she didn't waste it.

May she be the inspiration we all take forward with us into the turbulent times ahead.

Forever thinking about how Mary conceived via the holy spirit, which is a historically feminine entity. Lots of untapped potential for Something here. Not sure what yet

You can love your neighbor and not love God, secular people do it all the time, with great success. The reverse however, is not true. If you do not love your neighbor, than you can not love God. Any Christian that would send away the immigrant, the queer, the poor, or the marginalized - would nail Christ to the cross. The Holy spirit dwells in the detention center and prisons, the bath houses and whore houses, the section-8 housing and the homeless shelter, for we are all made in the image of God.
