New 52 expuso una incómoda verdad del cómic americano, no hay tantos escritores y editores modernos talentosos. Al tener que crear una nueva mitología, los nuevos escritores de turno debían demostrar su talento y, bueno, por algo fue tan new 52

"Gay financier holds secret meeting with Freemasons to undermine the Catholic Church" nobody in this situation is beating the allegations
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

Way too much modern Catholic moral argumentation boils down to nothing more than:
1. Human dignity, therefore
2. [Plug in desired conclusion]
It's lazy and intellectually unserious and utterly unconvincing to anyone who doesn't already agree with whatever conclusion one is trying to establish. It opens the door to all kinds of mischief, because the notion of "human dignity" is so vague and contested that it can be, and is, deployed to arrive at all sorts of conclusions, including conclusions that contradict one another. And for that reason, bare appeals to human dignity are inevitably question-begging, because what human dignity amounts to and what it entails are precisely what is in dispute between the different sides of the various issues to which the notion is applied (capital punishment, immigration, sexuality, or whatever).
This is one of the many high costs of having taken Catholic theology off of the Scholastic gold standard. Too many minds have turned to mush and simply don't know how to reason logically. They just repeat gauzy stock phrases and stomp their feet.

Rewatched Halloween last night. While watching it I could only think about this Mystery Grove gem.

I saw Captain Marvel trending, and I was like......!!!!!
🌩️🌩️🌩️
And then...
...I was like, oh. Y'all meant Carol Danvers.
In yet another reboot while her defenders keep screaming about how popular and successful she is as a character.
Oh well.
Real ones know.

Another anti-Catholic fraud exposed, much like the fraud of the Canadian residential schools, which literally caused Catholic churches to be burned down in Canada with little or no complaint from the government.

Before 2018 I'd never thought it possible to lump child sacrifice and capital punishment into the same category.
The consequence of decades of liberation theology that eliminates the distinction between innocence and guilt.

America & coalition forces have officially left Iraq.
There is so much to say about the American excursion into Iraq, but all I will say is this.
History may eventually look at the War in Iraq as the singular event which lead to the extinction of Assyro-Chaldean Christianity.
There was 1.5 million Assyrians in Iraq before 2003 & now less than 200,000 remain.
The Iraq War destabilized the country & Christians became the first point of attack. There was no plan to protect or empower Christians, and there is still no plan to protect or empower Christians.
How can the Christian West allow for the destruction of an Apostolic faith & people who are as old as the Old Testament? Who keep Christ's Aramaic language alive?
And now, simple as that, we dust our hands and leave.
Iraq is at a fragile turning point & I hope that the remaining Christians will receive your prayers & support, and that the American exodus will not lead to another destabilizing event that destroys what little is left.

Notice how the subversion of classic children stories always goes in one direction:
What if what you thought was evil was actually good?
The renaming of the stepsister as "Lilith" isn't an accident either.

I’ve noticed Zoomers starting to attack Gen X on TikTok and YouTube. Sadly they are attacking my generation for the wrong reasons. Instead of attacking us for drinking from garden hoses when we were kids, they should be attacking us for aborting about a third of their generation.
