as a roman catholic, this really doesn't concern me as i believe the entire protestant reformation, was the inspired work of satan, so the fact that it's dying it's natural death just 400 scant years later is not surprising good riddance! it's dying in america too!

I’m generally supportive of Roman Catholics on this board. I suggest to you that Rome has troubles aplenty. You need to think about the state of your Magisterium. The Pope has enraged the TradCons because he has decreed it inappropriate to accord Mary the titles of Co-redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces. It’s not a decree of caution or prudence, it’s doctrine. And now TradCon Bishops, Priests, and media are up in arms and carrying on like Luther’s, Calvin’s, and Zwingli’s soldiers hundreds of years ago.

The unworkable and unscriptural notion of the Magisterium brought this on itself with previous Popes according Mary the very same titles Leo XIV has removed this past October.

So maybe pump your brakes and slow your rejoicing at your Protestant brothers’s and sisters’s serious misfortunes lest a worse thing befall you and yours. That’s Sola Scriptura talking there, the best Magisterium of all.

Thank you very much for your prayers and good wishes. We appreciate them a great deal.

It was a worrisome affair with our daughter in KC and us in BR and my being unable to travel until my liver/gallbladder issues were resolved by two surgeries.

Our granddaughter’s birthday is the tenth and her brother will be delivered a few days later.

Yeah, but you didn’t say please…

Allow me to retort.

I’m out of town visiting my youngest daughter who, after a complicated, dangerous, even life threatening pregnancy, is going to birth our tenth grandchild. (BTW TD prayer warriors this is testimony to y’all’s prayers and God’s goodness)I’ve just finished a lovely family meal and am enjoying a glass of wine.

So you will excuse me if your gotcha posts weren’t sufficiently scathing or important to warrant an urgent reply defending myself in the fifteen minutes you allowed.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your tone, but you’re coming across as something of a jackass. I apologize if I’m reading you wrong.

Read what I wrote again. My comment offered no data nor cited any study and was based solely on personal experience. It didn’t even include several men I know that are in the same situation as the women I mentioned.

Nevertheless, because you asked:

. Abstract
The oncogenic potential of SARS-CoV-2 has been hypothetically proposed, but real-world data on COVID-19 infection and vaccination are insufficient. Therefore, this large-scale population-based retrospective study in Seoul, South Korea, aimed to estimate the cumulative incidences and subsequent risks of overall cancers 1 year after COVID-19 vaccination. Data from 8,407,849 individuals between 2021 and 2023 were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance database. The participants were categorized into two groups based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. The risks for overall cancer were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, and data were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The HRs of thyroid (HR, 1.351; 95% CI, 1.206–1.514), gastric (HR, 1.335; 95% CI, 1.130–1.576), colorectal (HR, 1.283; 95% CI, 1.122–1.468), lung (HR, 1.533; 95% CI, 1.254–1.874), breast (HR, 1.197; 95% CI, 1.069–1.340), and prostate (HR, 1.687; 95% CI, 1.348–2.111) cancers significantly increased at 1 year post-vaccination. In terms of vaccine type, cDNA vaccines were associated with the increased risks of thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers; mRNA vaccines were linked to the increased risks of thyroid, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers; and heterologous vaccination was related to the increased risks of thyroid and breast cancers. Given the observed associations between COVID-19 vaccination and cancer incidence by age, sex, and vaccine type, further research is needed to determine whether specific vaccination strategies may be optimal for populations in need of COVID-19 vaccination.

Most leftists only give a shite about Christmas to the extent of getting gifts, bonuses, and having Christmas parties. Jesus is the guy who mows their lawn.

True.

If it were leftists only I’d feel a little better. Jesus is an inconvenient truth for more than just leftists.

On both images taken at the same time there are similar anomalies roughly north of Kingston. Anyone know what they are?
Edit-I didn’t take into account updating of imagery. They no longer show. Both were generally circular and in the same location on the IR and visual. I thought maybe uplifting on an isolated and prominent peak.

So, if we're going to play this game and claim that homosexuality is genetic and shouldn't be considered aberrant behavior, then I would like to suggest that racism is also a genetic trait.

Why stop there, right?

How about a liar, a thief, an adulterer, or a murderer?
