✝️🇻🇦
the best part of catholicism is confession
it is hard to live by God’s standard. it is hard to abide by His word. it is hard to be the woman or man you know you want to be
to be able to confess your sins, and know you are forgiven, and to be given the chance to start anew is something i will always be thankful for
we are all blessed by God. but we are not all blessed by the act of getting the grace to start over

Spoke to @NewYorker about the long game.
"The Trump Administration is the most youthful, meritocratic Presidential Administration of my lifetime...
The message @americanmoment hammers continuously into our young people is that they have the power to change the country."

@nayibbukele right now:
This is my routine, 3x/day.
I’m not perfect at it, but I do my best. @TheAngelusBell app helps a lot!
Next challenge: Learning to say it in Latin.
Feels like the midterm loss was less about the war per se, and more about its perceived impact: Gas prices & affordability.
If everything were the same and gas came down to $2/gal, would the war *really* be all that unpopular?
Would the election outcome be any different?
This is a fair question.
There are degrees of unpopularity. Trump has done unpopular things before and still held on to his support.
I was under the impression that this was merely an unpopular war, because not many people were dying and it was a much more limited conflict than in the past. So, even if people didn't like the war, if they were Trump supporters, most of them would overlook it and still vote for Trump. That obviously was not the case. That's the mistake.
Once you correct my impression from unpopular to catastrophically unpopular, then it means that the long-term benefits of the war (which still I think could be achieved in the medium term) are not achievable because the short-term political costs are too heavy to bear.
we already love @StephenM you don’t have to keep selling me on him
