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".

little2add Posted Friday at 08:51 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 08:51 AM 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. https://www.air.tv/watch?v=ozyV2Rs3Q3-EHkQ7OxLTGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so I thank sincerely those who do award such honors. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
