Based Bishop Barron.
Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.
A few years ago, Cardinal Amรฉrico Aguiar, at the time auxiliary bishop of Lisbon, said that he and the other organizers of World Youth Day in his hometown had no interest in converting anyone to Christ.
Now Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algeria has opined that โthe Church is not there to convertโ and โChristians should approach other religions through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.โ
Excuse me, butโฆwhat?
Last time I checked, the Founder said, โAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.โ Sure sounds like conversion to me.
When St. Paul came to Corinth or Athens or Thessalonica, his purpose was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message: the euangelion (glad tidings) that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.
So impassioned is he for this work that he says, โI have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospelโ (1 Cor. 9:22); and โIf I proclaim the gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospelโ (1 Cor. 9:16)!
Moreover, the entire thrust of the Second Vatican Council was toward bringing the Light of Christ to the peoples of the world (Lumen Gentium). And this missionary รฉlan has given rise in the last few decades to the idea of a โnew evangelization,โ which is to say, a fresh declaration of the Lordship of Christ.
Quite obviously, no one thinks that this work of evangelization should be done in a brow-beating, overbearing, or disrespectful manner (proselytization), but for Godโs sake, letโs not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If I really thought that the Church does not exist to bring people to Christ, then I would resign and get an honest job.

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

I have YouTube premium and ad-free Hulu so I basically never see ads. Then I go to someoneโs house or a bar and the tv is on and it feels like Iโm being raped

Tomorrow, we remember 9/11.
Remember Father Mychal Judge.
Remember the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, office workers, passengers, and every innocent life taken that day.
And remember that behind every number was a name, a family, a story, and a soul.
May they never be forgotten.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
Father Mychal Judge, a Catholic priest and FDNY chaplain, was the first officially recorded casualty of the September 11 attacks. At the World Trade Center, he prayed as he witnessed people jumping from the towers and administered the last rites to a fallen firefighter before he was killed by falling debris.

The UAE confirmed what weโve already known for almost 3 years, which is that Netanyahu sat on detailed intelligence warning of the October 7th attack, probably because he wanted it to happen.
October 7th was the manufactured pretext for a regional war to build Greater Israel.

Flogging with stinging nettles is an ancient folk practice known as urtication. People deliberately strike the skin with fresh nettle plants to trigger severe local inflammation, increased blood flow, and a counter-irritant pain response.
