Old man Casey, spinning in his grave, would be voting for someone other than his son. Of course voting from the grave is a venerable practice in his son’s party, but only to ensure a Democratic Party victory. So the elder and moldering Casey’s vote might be applied against his wishes.

I am beginning to hate auto-correct.

I sure hope his dad is praying for him before God's throne, IF he is already in heaven.

My father was in Germany at the end of WWII. The day after the fighting stopped, the Germans began picking up, cleaning and rebuilding. It wasn't much, but it was the heart of the German economic recovery. Yes, it would have been better if the cities hadn't been destroyed and all that infrastructure gone. But the recovery began with the broken windows.

I hope this plague goes away before I leave this earth. So sick of it all.

Prayers for all those affected.

Good! We need more support groups like this.

Mike and Lynn Wilder joined the Mormon church in 1977 after Mormon missionaries knocked on their door. Lynn would go on to become a professor at Brigham Young University, and Mike eventually became a high priest in the church. They raised their children according to the precepts of the Mormon religion but would eventually come to believe the Gospel and learn the truth about the Mormon church, also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or LDS.

In 2001, Mike and Lynn's oldest son, Micah, left home to serve a two-year LDS mission. "Micah wrote emails home while he was on his mission, dropping hints about the internal faith questions with which he struggled ... Lynn's own concerns regarding her church became a 'burgeoning internal conflict.'" Micah ended up meeting the real Jesus and being born again through faith in Christ. (Watch Micah's compelling testimony.)

Why a former high priest left Mormonism

It is very sad when people are brainwashed into believing things that completely contradict Scripture

I met Micah here in the midwest when he was serving in "Adam's Road." Ironically the Wilders became Mormons while I was pulling away from it.

Generally you can't distinguish a high priest from other Melchizedek Priesthood holders. They all wear dark business suits.

My thoughts exactly.

St. Thomas the Apostle, pray for us.

O God, save Israel

Glory to God!

Philippians 2:3-4

Ora pro nobis

Thanks for the reply.

In his case, I don’t know. I’ve lost track of the man. He may well be an integral position of leadership somewhere by now, worthy of “double honor” (1Tim 5:17). Now that is not meant to derail your 1Cor 15:10 being added to, lest you want to set out and refuse such honor.

WASHINGTON (OSV News) — Just as the nation’s founders relied on God’s providence, so too must all those serving in the U.S. legal profession and government today depend on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, said the homilist during the 72nd annual Red Mass Oct. 6 at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington.

These gifts are essential to maintain and thrive as a good and just society, said Deacon Darryl A. Kelley.

“What we pray for today is no mere aspiration,” he said. “No, the gifts of the Holy Spirit can be an efficacious reality in our lives, personal and professional.”

Well, one effect was that the town people came out, saw their dead pigs, and asked Jesus to leave. So the demons seemed to be trying to play a chess game, and the pigs were pawns in their power play. However, Jesus sent the freed demoniac into the town and he spread the news of what God had done for him -- circumventing the attempt to keep people on that area from learning of the life and love that Jesus offers.

but remember He went back to that area and healed their sick. But I remember that’s all they wanted.

Zuckerberg’s election spending was ‘carefully orchestrated’ to influence 2020 vote: ex-FEC member

A former federal election official called the $400 million-plus that Mark Zuckerberg spent a “carefully orchestrated attempt” to influence the 2020 vote.

nypost.com

"A former federal election official on Thursday called the $400 million-plus that Mark Zuckerberg spent to help finance local elections a “carefully orchestrated attempt” to influence the 2020 vote — and recommended that all states ban private funding of election offices."

Mark spent $400M in 2020 to try and influence the elections - but this year he is not promoting democrats so the assumption is he will not be doing the same under-the-table influencing as he did in 2020... because Republicans don't work that way.

'This is not normal': Behind the decisions at Facebook and Twitter to deplatform Trump

The Facebook and Twitter suspensions were a landmark moment for America's social media giants and the most visible demonstration yet of their absolute power.

And your question is "will his 400$M in influencing" be missed in our election process.

I suggest it will only be missed by those who prefer election meddling...

I Agree Bob, just a small part showing how large donors have been stopped through the legal channels including Mark Zuckerberg

To think Zuckerberg created a shell organization to control the 2020 elections $400+ million with strings attached, and he pulled it off in your face election meddling, something the average Joe is completely unaware of

Police in the Indian state of Goa are on the hunt for a Hindu man who allegedly publicly disrespected St. Francis Xavier and disputed the saint’s title as protector of the state, leading to complaints from the state’s Christians, who deeply venerate St. Francis.

Catholic news outlet UCA News reported that Subhash Velingkar, a former state-unit chief of the powerful Hindu group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, publicly questioned the authenticity of the relics of St. Francis Xavier housed in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa.

The relics are only exposed for veneration every 10 years. The next period of exposition and veneration is due to start on Nov. 21 and end on Jan. 5, 2025.

Using dreams in my writing is the obvious clear way to have surreal scenes included. But with use of fantasy there can be other surreal scenes anyway, which I do include in my writing.

Let me expand a bit.
He is evidently Muslim, but does not say it. He came in under Obama. I asked about if there's a problem over there by saying 'there was a problem in North Africa' and he said no.

Him and another woman [and another] all from Algeria, talk to family and send money.

OTOH the folks who came here who live near Russia [one came from Crimera when Putin took over under Obama] say their family is concerned because Putin loves weak democrats because he gains more area.
Is communism the fall of mankind? Does Russia spread their errors?
Indeed democrats are weak.

So although Bishops are calling for our charity, people coming from all over are not necessarily refugees.

I checked and Haiti is not at war.
So why are we bringing them in?

The problem with Haitians is they are Catholic in name but their culture allows voodoo.

There are no refugees.
They are immigrants who are by passing our system to conform to our language and laws.

However; democrats like to say refugee... but if the whole world is a mess right now, they need the Lord and not leave their countries just to send money out of our country.

As I work with mainly 90% 'immigrants' I am not finding any who were desperately leaving.
Except maybe the lady from Crimera.
So democrats are lying to the Church.

Just change the name to refugee.

The English translation of the prayer to St. Michael leaves a little to be desired.​

The Romans, as any first-year Latin student can tell you, were in the practice of ending their sentences with verbs. Regina agricolam amat, for example—literally, “The queen the farmer loves.” Unless you are Yoda, however, you would speak this sentence in English this way: “The queen loves the farmer.” (Something tells me this relationship is not going to work out.)

In any case, Latin word order often (not always) proceeds this way: subject, object, verb. In English, word order often (not always) proceeds this way: subject, verb, object. Because Latin nouns are declined—that is, they are assigned distinct endings for how they function in a sentence—it is easy to identify the subject and the object.

The Church preserves the practice of ending sentences and clauses with the predicate. Indeed, here is a sentence from Benedict XVI’s renunciation of the Petrine Office.

Nunc autem Sanctam Dei Ecclesiam curae Summi eius Pastoris, Domini nostri Iesu Christi confidimus sanctamque eius Matrem Mariam imploramus, ut patribus Cardinalibus in eligendo novo Summo Pontifice materna sua bonitate assistat.
