Lol so funny story I went to the wrong airport *adventure intensifies* 🤣 So I’m going to use this airport as my hobo hotel anyway because the other one is tiny and closes at 11PM lmao

Cardinal Wuerl replaced Cardinal Burke on the Congregation for Bishops in 2013.
Cardinal Cupich was also appointed to the Congregation by Pope Francis in 2016.
Wuerl and Cupich are playing a large role in the selection of Bishops, particularly American Bishops. (Thread) It is an absolute outrage that these men have not been immediately removed from their posts in light of the very credible allegations made against both of them in the Vigano letter.

The Church is in a defining moment, the Church is on the cross... we have nowhere else to go, and nothing else to do, but hold fast and stay with Christ. It’s a terrible time to be Catholic. It’s a perfect time to become a Saint.

I know this is uncomfortable. I know this isn’t an easy thing to talk about. But we can’t let our discomfort scare us away from seeking solutions from a foundation of truth. This is primarily a homosexual pederasty problem. We cannot hide from this in the Church any longer. Also, I need to note as well that we need to consider per capita numbers here to get a real picture.

I ponder Matthew 26:11: “For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.”

Even if we were to cure temporal poverty, our spiritual poverty would remain. Corporal works of mercy profit us nothing if they don’t lead to spiritual good.

Choose meaning. While it is true we live in a world of extreme wealth and extreme poverty, where people like you and I live as kings compared to the truly destitute, I don’t believe this will ever be fixed as long as our culture rejects the spiritual life.

I’m Catholic. I believe I receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ in the Eucharist every day. For real. The actual thing.

That isn’t a matter I’m ecumenical on. I’m sorry if that offends you. It offended a lot of people in John 6. I am ecumenical on matters that are ecumenical. I truly strive to love everyone. Including actual enemies, let alone non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters!

But there are real, vital, important differences between us. I’m not going to shy from them.

It truly is a tragedy to witness how much our society has denigrated fathers and fatherhood.

My dad is my best friend and I am so blessed to be his daughter.

(thread) My dad is an amazing dad for so many reasons. He loves me. He teaches me with so much wisdom. He always believes in me and wants me to achieve what I set out to strive for. All the normal great stuff about a dad.

A good friend once told me, “Carry your cross, Catholic girl”. Tonight, especially tonight, I know it’s exactly what I have to do.

Becoming Catholic is not like anything else I’ve ever done. It’s not shallow, it’s not half-measures.

#Catholic It’s radical to say “I have been called to suffer. I have been called to sacrifice. I have been called to take up my cross.”

To the world, it’s the deluded adherence to some sort of invisible sky fairy, to the detriment of my own “reasonable” desires.

Thread time.

I can’t remember the last time I was nervous talking to you guys about my life. I always find being open and authentic with you all has brought me so much love.

But here it is.

I’m becoming Catholic. Devout and deeply Catholic. I am nervous because I feel the impact that you guys have on me. I feel the community we’ve built. I feel the human connections I am blessed with every day. And knowing what I now deeply believe to be true... I feel the deep responsibility I have to get this right.

People ask me how I stay patient on Twitter when talking about so many controversial topics and engaging in so many debates (Thread) First, I wanna say, I am not an expert, nor am I the paragon of patience I wish I was.
