@npub1x8t…8wyn they are just screenshots of attempts to post to Threads using the #Catholic and #CatholicThreads hashtags.

2024-08-30 23:27:37

So, Meta’s Threads platform appears to be discriminating against Catholic members. Two popular hashtags are now banned.

1974 Chevy Camaro (bought in 1991.) Leaked enough oil to be placed on the EPA list for hazardous cleanup sites; the radiator also leaked (a temp fix was me pouring some thick, gel substance into it) and before I started it up (and half the time that was after it stalled out in a busy intersection) I had to manually reopen the airway to the carburetor by sticking my fingers in it to push open the flappy metal hinge things ( when closed, no airflow. No airflow, no start.)

@npub10gz…ehny Ick. Sounds like the elimination or downgrading of the Church (Shepherds) as the authoritative voice for interpreting the Holy Spirit and leading the faithful (sheep.) While we all can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit by virtue of our baptism and Confirmation, we do not all interpret the Spirit correctly (witness the 10s of thousands or Protestant and Evangelical denominations, all who claim to hear the Holy Spirit.

Quote: "In 1965, the federal government financed more than 60 percent of all R&D in the United States. By 2006, the balance had flipped, with 65 percent of R&D in this country being funded by private interests. According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, several of the nation’s science-driven agencies—the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Interior, and NASA—have been losing funding, leading to more “outsourcing” of what were once governmental science functions. The EPA, for example, recently began conducting the first nationwide study on the air quality effects of large-scale animal production. Livestock producers, not taxpayers, are slated to pay for the study."

Yeah, it;'s from Breitbart, but I don't think it's too far-fetched.

The “60 Minutes” installment of their investigation into the miraculous healings at Lourdes is on YouTube.
I just watched it, it’s good!

Hey! The Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary still exists, and still is managed by the Dominicans just like back in the days of St. Dominic and Bl. Alan de la Roche! (Should I have known that?)
You can tell I’ve been reading St. Louis de Montfort.
