I was raised Catholic. At one time the Catholic Church was very outspoken against communism and human rights violations committed in those countries. Today with the seating of the new Pope Leo, from Chicago , we have this continuation of anti American discontent within the Vatican. In The Vatican the mindset is America is supposed to allow the whole world inside its borders, while the Vatican has 40 foot walls surrounding it and doesn’t let one illegal alien inside its borders. Do you know what the Vatican does to illegals that get inside of their walls, they are detained and immediately deported. I don’t know if you saw the people watching at St. Peter’s Square yesterday, you could see, there was not one illegal alien there in the crowd. Everyone that enters the Vatican is checked and their immigration status is verified, what complete hypocrisy. So why is it that the Vaticans new and previous political persona is America is supposed to absorb all and any illegal immigrant, while the Vatican accepts none. I’ll tell you why it’s because the Catholic Church is on the verge of bankruptcy because of their participation in placing and moving pedophile priests that were molesting children within the churches they control, that’s why they want America to take illegals. It’s because of the money. Catholic charities took part in the invasion of America and they made millions if not billions of dollars. It’s all about the money, and they made lots of it breaking our immigration laws.
This is why my faith doesn’t necessarily mean I have to deal with the building, the church itself. My faith is what I was taught, it’s how I live my life, it’s who I am, it’s not the walls and the stained glass windows. J.Goodrich
dropped out of Catholic church at age 14, thought about getting back when pope John Paul 1 was murdered, and now convinced that God loves me without the organized crime committee.
Ingrid, I also left at 14, the Parish priest (young and good-looking) was bonking my neighbors wife. Her daughters were my friends. I saw people go to church on Sunday and then be assorted levels of jerks during the week. I still love the stories and energy of Jesus.
I saw a cartoon years ago of a dapper gentleman walking past two people and one said to the other "He sows his wild oats all week and goes to church on Sunday and prays for a crop failure!"
I think the best thing the Catholics can do, is remove that stupid rule about celibacy. How many priests have assaulted choir boys over the millennia, because they cannot contain natural urges. Let them marry (opposite sex please) and a lot of that will go away.
Agree, I'm not a religious person, although I respect anyone's following of different sects.
I have seen throughout history, too many people have died in the name of religion. I think that if God's mandate is peace among men, I don't want to follow any organization that thinks their religion usurps another's, especially if they are willing to kill over it.
I concur and as of today, I have totally had enough of the fawning over the Pope drama. Jesus used a wooden challis and had disdain for all the pomp, need I say more 🤷🏼♂️
Yes, the Vatican has security checks for visitors entering St. Peter's Basilica and certain areas like the Vatican Museums. While St. Peter's Square is open to everyone, the basilica and other attractions require security checks.
If the Catholic Church is going to make nearly billions of dollars helping to break all of our, American, immigration laws, shouldn’t they allow hundreds of thousands of undocumented aliens into the Vatican to live. There’s not one Thomas. They are undeniable hypocrites, I guess that, their complicity with communism, Chinese slavery, and absolutely their complicity and concealing child molestation keeps me out of Catholic Churches. It’s quite sad to me seeing what they did to my church and religion.
They have security checks all over Italy. At the David museum in Florence we had a screening. Didn’t stop a pick pocketer to steal my Gail’s gold rim glasses. We are all God’s children. Drawing the line between right and wrong is challenging for the church. My Jesuit professor gave us examples where you may have to choose a lesser of evils, and it is not a sin on your part. The church should have embraced the concept of helping those who immigrate to the US legally and not illegally.
What Biden has done just swelled the ranks of the homeless. The majority of the Italians would love to immigrate to the United States since their country is so socialized. Pick pocketing is a major industry!
China has infiltrated the Catholic Church. I know it’s bribery like it is in the American government and American big business. I believe this is why the Vatican ignores the genocide of Catholics throughout the world and speak of no borders trans rights abortion rights, global warming, they ignore Chinese slavery, the child trafficking on our southern border etc. they are on the take and paid to be mouth pieces for China.
Like Garrison Keillor often said... ''Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.''
But he must have forgot about the TV show "My Mother the Car" from the 50s.
This is quite interesting; the only thing I knew about the Catholic church, & this religious “institution”, or my only knowledge of or about Catholics, is my Dad was raised Catholic, & attended Catholic school. All he ever told me was he disliked going to Catholic school, & his children would attend public school-period. I never questioned his reason for disliking Catholic school, or church, & he never offered any reason for his decisions. Why then, allegedly, did Pope Leo have negative thoughts about President Trump deporting “criminal illegal aliens”? There obviously seems to be hypocrisy from his comments then about President Trump, or this is once again, a Fake news statement??? What to believe & who anymore.
Hi Patricia, I had gone to what we called CCD, it used to be called Catechism. I had my aunt teach us until I was confirmed and a really nice mother of a classmate I went to school with when I was younger. Both for me were ok.
Catholic charities was making millions of dollars placing illegal aliens in the United States, in fact the woman Deacon, or whatever her title was, that lectured Trump the day of his inauguration, at church, had received millions of dollars to place a handful of illegals for the Biden administration, another hypocrite!
That’s insane! Making millions on illegals! It’s just so difficult to understand their (deep state lunatics, or far, far left dems) continual discussion(s) about this deportation issue; but, for one reason or another, it seems to me anyway, it’s their way to cheat when it comes to votes- The Voter ID issue the Dems don’t want; allowing millions of illegals into our country, thus “creating more Districts”? But, getting millions of dollars from the Biden regime? More stolen taxpayers money I’m guessing. Thank you James. Enjoy the weekend!
You too Patricia, the only way America will fall is from within and I believe we have witnessed how it can happen with the previous administration, treason
Hi James. You've opened up a very interesting conversation. I'll be interested in how an American Pope with Mr. Trump being Catholic + the President will play out.
I hear you on 'faith' vs 'church'. The money/religious aspect of any organized church began bothering me long ago. Remember Tammy Faye?
The religious teachings of the Old Testament with an angry God vs the New Testament with a benevolent/loving God sending his Son to save us has intrigued me. It is my earliest grounding in faith, but my spiritual journey has allowed me to even consider whether the angry God sent Jesus down to 'teach us a lesson' like he did thru Noah but his son being who he was, instead helped his Father become more loving/tolerant thru His interactions with mortals. Is that thought way out there?
I also could be considered woowoo along with Casey Means as my journey includes meditation, yoga, scream therapy, singing bowls, positive thought transferal, and Native Indian rituals like: sage cleansing, blessing the animal sacrificed for my meals, and walking barefoot on grass/dirt as examples.
I guess this all comes down to my strong desire to see this new Pope be a shining light to unite more people, not as an empty vessel the Catholic Church uses for it's own monetary or political gain. Let us pray for it to be so.
We never know what day God will choose to walk among us again.
LB it has been quite a conversation. The amazing people here sure do teach me a lot! Trump was Presbyterian but had changed to a non denominational Christian. Not that it matters, because although I was raised Catholic I’m honestly not sure what title should be placed on my religion, I’m a Christian. I also find it very interesting the differences between the Old and New Testament. We all have our ways of coping with life, life has its way of wearing us down.
I had thought that also and I heard someone speaking about the walls and he said 40 feet. They probably vary though. The irony is the fact that they are protected by walls but push for no borders everywhere else.
Was talking with my wife prior to a trip to HEB when it occurred to me that we are now living in a totally different culture than the one we were raised in. Its demise was springboarded by wilson, profoundly pushed forward by fdr and piled on to by subsequent progressive administrations...with a recent big assist from the wuflu scam. We no longer buy what we did the way that we did or where we did. We can no longer worship the way we did and may face incarceration if we do. We no longer engage in politics the way we did, engaging in open acrimony instead. We no longer believe in the rule of law as we once did but openly reward its defiance. And we no longer educate children but egregiously indoctrinate them (which sadly also applies to college age who have not and may never reach adult cognitive ability).
This was all done in the name of an economic theory that can never be attained because it fails to take into account basic human behavior. It assumes human homogeneity of an ant hill and will always be confounded by the truth being that human behavior is just the opposite. Incapable of ever learning any different socialists will keep submerging the globe in their failures. If we let them. Will we? Trump may well be our last gasp beause if the knuckle walking string pullers for dumb and dumber (44/46) regain control it may be the final curtain for our Republic..
By far, one of the funniest collections ever! And that flea collar? Out of the mouths of babes! And Tucker and Joe? I’ve already watched it three times! Thanks for the loud guffaws, Drs Malone!!!
Great Friday comics! I watched the Tucker & Joe video, & thought- OK, this is a set-up!!! I don’t watch Podcasts, & only videos on this subscription, so when I heard Tucker, I was a little concerned! Hilarious!
WOW, this is the most amusing funnies I've seen from you. You must have found a new resource! Thank you so very much for the laugh(s) and making sure those that subscribe and don't get your messages....how's that Flow Hive doing brother?
We pick up the bees tomorrow evening on our way home from a meeting in Florida! The Flow Hive took me a lot of time to put together, with over a hundred little pieces to be put together - more than I expected. But it looks great.
I had one of the originals. Never could get it to work. Bees stuck the whole thing together. But I think the problem was more me than the hive. Good luck.
One can hardly blame the kid for thinking so. Mid-sermon, Pastor Hartz performed the remarkably dexterous feat of scratching behind his left ear with his left foot, and didn't even paws.
I think my favorite funny is “ only a woman who has had a baby without an epidural. “ I laughed out loud. My mom use to say that if men and women were going to sharing the responsibility of having children there would be only 2 children if the husband had the first baby. God made women tough.
Accept responsibility? You gotta be kidding! Those who do are setting a bad example! Ban em. Our politicians and bureaucrats show us the way!
To survive its best to be drivin' that train.
Poor Windchime kid. Where do we suppose he got that crazy idea?
Informed consent! Yesterday, to get my eye shot, I was required to sign a consent pad 5 times. I complained about the first 4, that they were requiring me to sign blindly with no idea about the matters I'm consenting to. When I finally complained to my Doc, they gave me copies of the documents I had signed. One concludes "Informed Consent", in any manifestation, is very difficult to understand.
Yes, a consent pad, a little display independent of any verbiage that you "sign" with your finger. It could say anything and you wouldn't know until it was too late, such as: "Take me out to the back pasture and put a bullet in my head..." I would argue that this kind of "consent" or "authorization" would not stand up in a real court of law.
Right! And that's exactly how I would plan to handle it. I was trying to warn them they were using an offensive and foolhardy approach to deal with these matters!
Thank you for standing up to the system! This process is fundamentally flawed and needs to be changed, to wit, "Any signatory to a document of more than one paragraph is to be given 24 hours advance notice to review the document, consult legal advice if necessary, and commit their signature, or not, with true informed consent." Getting rid of the legalese would be a nice feature, but a fight for another day. And they could get around this one by making one really long paragraph... Might need to change to, "....more than 100 words...."
In that the threat here was no signatures no shot to hold back blindness - 24 hrs ahead should definitely be required. Today most docs to be signed could be offered by internet.
Yes, electronic authorization prior. Would really change the dynamic when buying a new car... A better legal surprise for the consent pad:
"I, John Doe, being of sound mind and body, do hereby donate all of my worldly goods, and none of my worldly debts, to XYZ Corporation by my signature affixed on this wonderfully handy consent pad. I also waive any right to appeal or change this action in any way whatsoever at any time, now or in the future."
Sadly, I'm on the edge of my seat, waiting for the Rogan-Tucker mashup to be spread by certain people as if it's real and evidence of how danger the right is.
Judicial tyranny indeed. We've seen the Long March through the Institutions. It's even affecting the condiments industry. That's right; there are ongoing strikes at Vlasic, Best Maid, and Claussen now. The workers are picketing and carrying banners bearing the logo of the hammer and pickle.

In Latin it would be BOINKING! There is that rebounding effect! Hahaha
Doggone it, now you made me look up bonking vs boinking. Ha ha
Bonk as in bonk your head.
Now it's possible to bonk your head while boinking.
But so far nada. (I know lucky right?)
But somewhere out there .....
Alter Boy Bonks head while boinking,
Stayed tuned for Vatican news at 5!
Oh my word! Haven’t heard “boinking” for a long time!! LOL! Be careful where ya bonk your head-too funny!
I left at 22 y.o. when I left home.
Father Carson, Nativity of our Lord Church, Warminster, had to be transferred since he was having sex with the fe.ale congregation!
The hypocrisy of the Pope mantmy of whom porked the altar boys!
What possessed the WOMEN in the church? Are they stupid? Sluts? Morality and chastity is EVERYONES job!
Wow. All the truth comes out from prior Catholics and it's all the same corruption while the Vatican hoards a HUGE sum of money!!
and artwork, and books, and God knows what else.
$8 billion in the bank that they need to share with the poor instead of hoarding and rewarding “friends”!
not very gospel-like is it? where does Jesus say to hoard money and not give a dime to the poor? I love the message, not the so-called messengers.
Exactly! The Marxist is not too popular among former Catholics, nor conservatives!
I think the best thing the Catholics can do, is remove that stupid rule about celibacy. How many priests have assaulted choir boys over the millennia, because they cannot contain natural urges. Let them marry (opposite sex please) and a lot of that will go away.
You nailed this one on the head, if you don't mind the pun. Great fact finding!
Agree, I'm not a religious person, although I respect anyone's following of different sects.
I have seen throughout history, too many people have died in the name of religion. I think that if God's mandate is peace among men, I don't want to follow any organization that thinks their religion usurps another's, especially if they are willing to kill over it.
How much I wonder is this due to jfk abandoning the Monroe Doctrine and allowing cuba to export communism throughout latin america?
Thought-provoking!
I concur and as of today, I have totally had enough of the fawning over the Pope drama. Jesus used a wooden challis and had disdain for all the pomp, need I say more 🤷🏼♂️
I was in Rome in 2017, and I don't remember any check points. New?
Yes, the Vatican has security checks for visitors entering St. Peter's Basilica and certain areas like the Vatican Museums. While St. Peter's Square is open to everyone, the basilica and other attractions require security checks.
If the Catholic Church is going to make nearly billions of dollars helping to break all of our, American, immigration laws, shouldn’t they allow hundreds of thousands of undocumented aliens into the Vatican to live.

IDK if the Pope understands the difference between human rights and civil rights. I hope he's capable of learning and growing.
China has infiltrated the Catholic Church. I know it’s bribery like it is in the American government and American big business. I believe this is why the Vatican ignores the genocide of Catholics throughout the world and speak of no borders trans rights abortion rights, global warming, they ignore Chinese slavery, the child trafficking on our southern border etc. they are on the take and paid to be mouth pieces for China.
Don't blame me for not remembering the words in my Latin Masses as an Altar Boy.....
I was only an Altar Boy for Christ's sake!
It's True! I was.
I laid out the priest's garments before mass, and it was for Christ's sake.
Like Garrison Keillor often said... ''Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.''
But he must have forgot about the TV show "My Mother the Car" from the 50s.

NY courts just recently struck down NYC's attempt to let non-citizens vote. Remember when "great replacement theory" was a wild conspiracy theory?!
Reminds me of: that's not happening; and it's good that it is.
That is a good first step! Maybe the crazy left will begin to “see the light”? Truth Reigns!
Yes, for me, too, it is the the *faith* of Catholicism that is beautiful.

You left out the Swiss Guard and armored vehicles.
Yes I did, I missed those!
That orange smoke is too funny 😁 😂 😀 🤣
On the brighter side, if this Pope is like Pope Francis, we can send JD Vance to pay him a visit‼️⁉️‼️
🤷🏻♂️🤷🤷♀️
Oh Ana, that is hilarious!!!😆
He's a Marxist mimic! Says we should take all immigrants! JD says charity begins at home.
In tune with these (loved Branco)

Yes, a consent pad, a little display independent of any verbiage that you "sign" with your finger. It could say anything and you wouldn't know until it was too late, such as: "Take me out to the back pasture and put a bullet in my head..." I would argue that this kind of "consent" or "authorization" would not stand up in a real court of law.
Right! And that's exactly how I would plan to handle it. I was trying to warn them they were using an offensive and foolhardy approach to deal with these matters!
Thank you for standing up to the system!

I also waive any right to appeal or change this action in any way whatsoever at any time, now or in the future."
If they could get away with it, they'd buy using it every time.
