I know stories like this are supposed to make Paul VI look better, but they just make him look rather weak and also like an old grandpa with dementia
To defend the (pre-conciliar) Jesuits, they weren't really founded to convert Protestants, but for missions.
And they made real achievements in overcoming Protestantism in southern Germany and the Commonwealth. They were well on the way to converting Japan before the gov't began

You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.

It's nice of His Eminence to clarify that the most charitable interpretation of his words is in fact not the one he intended
Terrific response by Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco to @BishopBarron disgraceful attack on his integrity. Vesco speaks from the Church, Barron for himself.
Jim Jones was an atheist who left everything in his will to the Soviet Union
He justified his murder of Congressman Ryan: "You can’t take off with people’s children without expecting a violent reaction ... even if we were Judeo-Christian, even if we weren’t Communists."
"diverse" is a euphemism for "non-white"
I’m proud to have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia’s history. They are also the most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen.
Every single one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they’re the best of the best in their respective fields. They also bring invaluable perspectives from across the Commonwealth — from Danville, Hampton Roads, Richmond, NOVA, and more.
I’m grateful to get to work with these incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and talented cabinet officials to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Pope Francis equated 'proselytism' with "apologetics" or "convictions" or "persuasion". He said "proselytizing is about convincing"
Francis was very clear about what he meant. Using arguments to convince others to become Catholic is what Francis explicitly condemned. Vesco too
I got a VPN recently to watch some British shows and every single commercial has black people in it.
The ads make Britain seem like it's Atlanta
"Lie back and think of diversity"
Our analysis suggests that Afghans are convicted of sex crimes in England and Wales at seven times the British rate. But the numbers need to be kept in perspective economist.com/britain/2026/1…
At Assisi one of the pagan groups performed their pagan worship in front of a statute of St. Francis
Bishop Goldade on Assisi interreligious event: "The Church no longer treats these other religions as false religions to false gods."

Not just non-Christians but also multiple pagan groups were allotted space to pray to their false gods on the basilica grounds

The communist abolishes property so that none may own; the industrialist concentrates it so that few may rule.
The Distributist multiplies owners until both tyrannies die.
>Later in the interview, His Eminence said: “In monotheistic religions, proselytism is poison, because it implies considering the other person’s religion false.”
The Vatican, the Curia, and the College of Cardinals are riddled with heretics
LATEST: Cardinal Vesco says the Catholic Church is “not there to convert”
The Archbishop of Algiers said: “We are the Church of this people. Not a proselytising Church, not a Church that is there to convert, but a Church that aspires to be one of the components of this people.”
He called proselytism “poison” because it treats another person’s religion as false, and argued Christians should choose fraternity over seeing themselves as a “besieged fortress.”
