I agree, just as  truth without niceness is false.

Truth has nothing to do with niceness.  Truth doesn't become false just because somebody uses it even in the worst way possible.  If that were true, there could be no objective truth; there could be no Catholic Church; there could be no God; there could be no charity or love or virtue or even kindness.

Truth stands on its own, because it comes directly from Jesus: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life". John 14:6

Truth can be as kind as it can be cruel.  Indeed, to be nice is not truth.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a statement that the storied franchise, once a pioneer for the racial integration of pro baseball, is completely down with hate and bigotry when it applies to people of the Catholic religious faith.

On Monday, the MLB team shockingly reversed course after banning a group of transgender drag queen nuns over outrage from Catholics who were aghast that the team would reward their sacrilege. They also apologized to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, reinviting them to receive an award before an upcoming Pride Night game at Chavez Ravine against the division rival San Francisco Giants next month.

“The decision to honor a group that clearly mocks the Catholic faith and makes light of the sincere and holy vocations of our women religious who are an integral part of our Church is what has caused…anger, and dismay from our Catholic community,”

To be persecuted, mocked etc. is a mark of discipleship of The Lord, fruitful discipleship.  And so I thank sincerely those who do award such honors.  Thank you

This has been, and will always be, true for those who are persecuted for the right reasons.

*    SALT LAKE CITY (AP)  Utah district bans Bible in elementary and middle schools ‘due to vulgarity or violence’

The Good Book is being treated like a bad book in Utah after a parent frustrated by efforts to ban materials from schools convinced a suburban district that some Bible verses were too vulgar or violent for younger children.

-     Meanwhile, Jill Biden Dismisses Parental Control of Books in School Libraries: ‘This Is America. We Don’t Ban Books.’

 According to Jill Biden’s logic, the parents who protested Loudoun and Fairfax County public schools were out of line—and un-American—for wanting to remove pornographic and ideological material out of their kid’s libraries.   

 

*    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law designed to place strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional, a federal judge says.  “There is no question that obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment. But there is a difference between material that is ‘obscene’ in the vernacular, and material that is ‘obscene’ under the law,” Parker said.

-       What possible logic was used to justify sexually grooming underage children as a 1st amendment right of pedophilic 'entertainers'?

 

*    After School Satan Clubs gain popularity amid legal victories.   After School Satan Clubs have been steadily increasing in popularity and are not likely to slow as their supporters rack up media attention and legal wins fighting for free speech. 

-    Have we really reached the point where there is no allowance for moral judgments or the difference between right and wrong or good and evil? Satan is the definition of evil, darkness, and lost souls.
