    Well done.

    You could basically take the testimony of Jesus' brother James, and transcribe it into Marx's communist manifesto, without missing a beat.

    The Epistle of James is remarkable for its denunciation of the rich and their material wealth, and it's condemnation of their oppression of the poor.

    The Remnant are considered an anti-semitic hate group and often disavowed by mainstream Catholics.

    Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong has described The Remnant as "radical Catholic reactionary."[4][5]

    The Southern Poverty Law Center have attacked The Remnant and the Remnant Press as "hate groups" under a category they describe as "Radical Traditionalist Catholic", which the SPLC defines as "organizations that embrace anti-Semitism and whose theology is typically rejected by the Vatican and mainstream Catholics in general."

    Holy smoke

    I knew there was a reason I felt unclean and creeped out by Stetch's Christmas card message of brotherly love.

    I feel obligated to alleviate and offset the evil vibes given by the original video, with a perfectly benign mysticism of Orthodox Christmas hymns and chants.

    I agree 100% and I'm Catholic. This is like something that was preached a hundred years ago, not the present day. There's just so much wrong with this homily.

    The same is true of the unhinged zealot who posted it.

    Sister Stench is NOT a globalist; hence her worship of God's left cheek carbunkle, the Malignant Messiah.

    I have a lot of things myself but they are more liking to just be surrounded by things enjoyable. Hard to get out and enjoy things so I like to bring outside beauty indoors with the rocks. As for a lot of my other stuff, I'm trying a local Facebook thing for selling. I only have a few Star Wars things I'd really like to keep. It's nice to own things but it's not nice to have things own you.

    I'm fairly sure that we're allowed to enjoy the physical senses and emotional satisfactions that are part of our being. Sometimes though people go overboard and start loving their things over other people. You don't do that.
