I often think about how He was born in a wooden manger, grew up working with wood, and died on a wooden cross. The fabric of Earth carried its creator from cradle to grave. I wonder if, despite His suffering, if for a moment hanging up there, the dogwood cross smelled like home.
Thinking about wood being the most rare resource in the universe and Christ being a carpenter

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

"But my sin was this, that I looked for pleasure, beauty, and truth not in Him but in myself and His other creatures, and the search led me instead to pain, confusion, and error." - St. Augustine

Remember: Being a faithful Christian will never align with being a “good” American. Caesar’s tools will never produce a throne worthy of Christ or Christ’s lived example.

Remember those in prison *as though you* were in prison with them and the mistreated *as though you yourselves* were suffering bodily.—Hebrews 13:3 “As though you.” Empathy: A Christian virtue.

How is it a “God given right” to bear arms & have guns but not have access to food? Do y’all hear yourselves?

"EBT should only pay for gruel that comes in a metal pail" is the kind of argument that must feel soooooo good to make if you're evil and also have an enormous hole in your frontal lobe

quoting the Bible while you run cover for a pedophile and do everything possible to harm immigrants while funding a genocide is anti-God, unbiblical, and is a perfect depiction of Christian Nationalism. it’s a perverted religion that would absolutely murder Jesus all over again.
FAITH FIRST: Speaker Johnson opens his press conference on the government shutdown by reading from Psalm 37: “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn..." "Do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”

a central tenet of Christianity is that not only *would* they but every generation *does* crucify Christ
It hit me today, this generation would have crucified Christ.

We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction these abuses and hold accountable those who are responsible for it.
