🇯🇵 Similar to the last World Cup, Japanese fans have gone viral for staying behind and cleaning the stadium after the game. I'm really proud of our people. I'm also really happy to see that others around the world appreciate it!

In 1974, when I was thirteen, my father, at that time a nominal Anglican, took me in here. First he showed me the statue of St Peter to the right. People were regularly kissing the toe and I commented with a giggle that the faithful seemed to have eaten the toe. My father smiled but the point was not lost on me, the devotion with which so many millions of people must have kissed that toe, for it to have been worn away. Then we walked over to look at the altar beneath which the saint is buried. But we could barely see it because a crowd of Japanese tourists, shepherded by their tour guide, had lined up in front of it for a photo. My father walked up to the guide and said angrily "I wouldn't do that at Ise Jingu, what makes you think it's all right to do that here?" Such was his passion that, after bowing ceremoniously, they walked away without a photo. I confess I had never heard of Ise Jingu. But the thought I was left with, was that there are people who are conscious of the numinous, and those who are not. Evidently neither my father nor the tourists had any particular beliefs; and yet both understood the need to respect those who do. Thirty-five years later my father was received into the Catholic Church on his death bed. It was a slow journey, even for a clever man, but he arrived in the end, and I am grateful that, thanks in no small part to him, I reached the same point much sooner.
If you visit St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome please remember, Catholicism is a religion of obedience & follow the rules. Also, etiquette is not optional. This is what main character syndrome looks like.

Imagine forgiving your son’s murderer, telling everyone it’s not a race thing and that you’ll pray with the family Then the entire black community: Makes it about race Doxxes you and your family Says your son deserved to die Endlessly harasses you He’s completely justified
🚨Jeffrey Metcalf goes on a full-blown RACIST rant against Karmelo Anthony and his family — calls him a “Watermelon Felon” and says Black fatigue is real. This isn’t grief talking. It’s straight-up racist stereotyping and anti-Black hate from a racist white man. Metcalf showed exactly who he is when the cameras were on and the mask slipped. Another racist exposed — no excuses, no passes. Why do some people think dropping slurs and stereotypes is acceptable?

Actually crazy how every single major IP has been destroyed by the people put in charge of stewarding them, and all mainly for the same reason of giving the finger to fans and using them as vehicles for social messaging
‘Doctor Who’ Could Reportedly Be Off Air Until 2031 Because No Producer Wants It "This is no longer simply a story about a showrunner departure or a canceled Christmas special. It's a story about the BBC potentially struggling to find anyone willing to take over one of its most famous properties."

In 29 days, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our exceptional nation, which became the greatest of all because we were the first to declare the self-evident truth that all people are created equal by God. Not “born equal.” We are “CREATED equal.” Because God made us all in His image, it means EVERY SINGLE PERSON has inestimable DIGNITY and VALUE—and our value is not related in any way to the color of our skin, what zip code we live in, what our talents are, our health condition, or any other factor. Our value is inherent, because it is given to us by our loving Heavenly Father. When a culture devolves to the point of depravity where “influencers” can go online and so casually dismiss the deliberate murder of their own precious child, the survival of that culture itself is at risk. God have mercy on our nation as we pray and work for an end to this evil, for hearts and minds to change, and for a renewed understanding of the self-evident truths and the sanctity of all human life. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21. The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided. I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley. She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained. Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000. When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed. Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism): 50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective. I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life. The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk. We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21. This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast. You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change. To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward. As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome. Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Maybe this is a hot take, Sometimes, I'm really not a fan of Democracy. Trump, love him or hate him, is unable to push the agenda that he was elected to do by the majority of the country because four old fucks who should be retired to their beach home. It's very frustrating.
BREAKING: Four Senate Republicans just joined Democrats to block one of President Trump’s key legislative priorities. In a setback for the White House, GOP Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis and Mitch McConnell broke with their party to help stop the SAVE America Act from advancing in the Senate. The vote exposed a familiar divide inside the Republican conference, with concerns over the bill’s provisions outweighing pressure from Trump and GOP leadership.

So glad to know people like this are doctors.
A lot of these people saying “I would adopt a Down Syndrome baby in a heartbeat” would not last a day taking care of a severely physically and intellectually disabled adult.

I HATE when "parents" who abort their children and call it a "difficult decision". "Boohoo, we made the difficult decision to murder our disabled baby" NEWSFLASH: YOU DIDN'T NEED TO KILL YOUR CHILD

Remember when the guy removed some of the desecration from the Churchill statue? The police immediately went after him rather than protecting Churchills statue! Of course there is two tier policing! This notion from the left that it doesn't exist defies logic!

🚨BREAKING: SPECIALIST DOCTOR SAYS HENRY NOWAK COULD HAVE LIVED IF NOT FOR POLICE In summary: - Henry was alive when they arrived and likely clotted - Aggressive police intervention likely tore clot - Major Trauma department was minutes away from scene - Judge and Pathologist were FAR TOO LENIENT on Police - Henry Nowak had 50% CHANCE to survive - Absolutely convinced that if he arrived in hospital alive he would have survived This is disgusting, the family deserve justice Full breakdown below: Dr Krzysztof Magier [@DrMagier] based in the Isle of Wight is a qualified Paediatric Care Lead and part of the 'Critical Care Network' with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds) has analysed the footage and claimed the AGGRESSIVE Police intervention may have contributed towards Henry's death. Dr Magier DISAGREES with the pathologist's and judge's opinion that Henry Nowak had ZERO chance of SURVIVAL. As well as the claim that handcuffing him essentially changed NOTHING. In fact he claims the REVERSE IS TRUE, there is a high likelihood that the police intervention CONTRIBUTED TO HENRY'S DEATH. He analysed the autopsy report, which points to DAMAGE to the subclavian vein as the main source of BLEEDING. In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the NATURALLY FORMING CLOT, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding. The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was CONCIOUS ENOUGH to speak LOUDLY. He was therefore NOT YET in a terminal state. After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely STRETCHED, the clot TORN, and BLEEDING DRAMATICALLY INTENSIFIED. Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and DIED. People with suspected internal injuries should NEVER be moved or yanked abruptly, such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage. Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police ARRESTED HIM. If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been MUCH HIGHER. AS HIGH AS "50%"—writes Dr. Magier. Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation. Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes' drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment. "I AM CONVINCED THAT IF HENRY HAD ARRIVED THERE ALIVE THE DOCTORS WOULD HAVE NOT LET HIM DIE"—writes Dr. Magier. The aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. "I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police"

Priests won't do it. France will send police into confessionals and confess mandatory reporting things. They will arrest priests. They are intentionally planning for oppression of Catholic clergy.
France is currently debating a bill that would require Catholic priests to disclose information heard in confession Info: The Times

Las inteligencias artificiales no viven una experiencia, no poseen un cuerpo, no pasan por la alegría y el dolor, no maduran en las relaciones ni conocen desde dentro lo que significan el amor, el trabajo, la amistad y la responsabilidad. Tampoco tienen una conciencia moral: no juzgan el bien y el mal, no captan el sentido último de las situaciones ni asumen el peso de las consecuencias. Pueden imitar, pueden simular pero no conocen lo que producen, porque no residen en el horizonte afectivo, relacional y espiritual en el que el ser humano se hace sabio. #MagnificaHumanitas
