THE RUPERT OCCASIONAL DIGEST June Something Or Other

Religion, Society, and Culture Politics. Our American cousins and the Omar. Nine Lives Ilhan continues to hang on. One moment, her net worth was $30 million; the next, it dropped to under a million. Which is it? A reasonable question even her former allies are now asking. How does a sitting congresswoman with an annual salary of $174,000 per year manage to increase her net worth into the tens of millions of dollars in such a short period of time ? Speaking engagements? Investments? Did she seek financial advice from Nancy Pelosi? Hunter Biden? Former President Joe Biden? Was her previous estimate conflated with the income of her husband?

As the SSPX vs Holy See battle continues, those of us on the sidelines can and should pray, and avoid pouring gasoline on an already heated exchange. The Society has many beautiful and truly excellent attributes - love for the sacred liturgy, a robust devotional life, and authentic disciplined spirituality. However, obedience to...

POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas

Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

I doubt not then but innocence shall make false accusation blush, and tyranny tremble at patience.

WORDS TO THE WHYS

You cannot subsidize irresponsibility and expect people to become more responsible. Thomas Sowell
