Facebook announced Monday that it will halt the development of a children’s app, after a national backlash from parents and conservative lawmakers.⠀ ⠀ The nixed app, Instagram Kids, has caused a firestorm of controversy, with critics expressing concern for the kids whom Facebook would reach through the new product.⠀ ⠀ In early September, the Wall Street Journal published an exposé about the scandal, demonstrating that Facebook not only would harm young people with Instagram Kids, but that the company would do so knowingly.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for the full story.

Pope Francis' statement could not have come at a better time. The microstate of San Marino has legalized abortions of unborn children after 12 weeks of gestation. The referendum ended the country's ban on abortion, in place since 1865. A majority of the people of San Marino claim to be Catholic.

After a public outcry, the Archdiocese of Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada announced Friday that it would no longer require Catholics to show proof of vaccination before entering Sunday Masses.⠀ ⠀ Archbishop Valery Vienneau couched the reversal with a reference to the government having provided local Church authorities with new instructions, although, as CatholicVote reported, an investigation by the Pillar had found the local government never required the archdiocese’s draconian rules to begin with.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for more.

These "devout" Catholic politicians have chosen what is pleasing to man over what is pleasing to God. Shame on them.

Former President Donald Trump suggested that President Joe Biden’s policies are harmful to the interests of religious Americans, including Catholics, whom Trump said are “very very angry” at the president.⠀ ⠀ “If you look at his policies, and if you look what he’s doing to religion and organized religion, if you look at what’s going on, I don’t know how the Catholic Church can be supportive of him,” Trump said in an interview with CBN. ⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for the full story.

Let's remember exactly what it is we are partaking in when we receive the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Republican lawmakers in Florida have filed a pro-life bill similar to a recently-enacted Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks of gestation.⠀ ⠀ Like the Texas law, Florida’s would criminalize most abortions and also empower citizens to file suit against doctors who break the law by aborting children.⠀ ⠀ Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-FL, told the Associated Press through a staffer that he will review the new bill. “Governor DeSantis is pro-life,” said spokesperson Taryn Fenske. “The Governor’s office is aware that the bill was filed today and like all legislation, we will be monitoring it as it moves through the legislative process in the coming months.”⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for more.

Tomorrow Democrats in the House are expected to take up the misnamed “Women’s Health Protection Act.” The media claims this bill is in response to the new Texas pro-life law, and will “codify Roe v. Wade into federal law.”⠀ ⠀ Here’s what it will really do:⠀ ⠀ - Destroy all state laws restricting abortion, require healthcare workers to perform abortions, and provide direct federal taxpayer funding for all abortions, for any reason. ⠀ ⠀ - Throw out laws that the Supreme Court has previously upheld. States could no longer require abortionists to provide women science-backed information on their unborn child or any alternatives to abortion, honor critical waiting periods, limit the performance of abortions to licensed physicians, ban elective abortion after 20 weeks, or prevent abortions after viability. ⠀ ⠀ - Eliminate state protections for children from abortion based on their sex, race, or diagnosis of a genetic abnormality such as Down Syndrome. Don’t like that your baby is a girl or boy? Abort it. African American child? Trashed. Down syndrome? No chance.⠀ ⠀ - Preemptively invalidate all future state-level legislation protecting the unborn.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio for the full story!
