Elon Musk: The amount of indoctrination that's happening in schools and universities is far beyond what parents realize --- “The amount of indoctrination that's happening in schools and universities is, I think, far beyond what parents realize. Let me give you an example that a friend of mine told me. His daughters go to high school in the Bay Area. And he was asking them, like, 'You know, who are the first few presidents of the United States?' They could name Washington. Then he said, 'Well, what do you know about him? Well, 'He was a slave owner.' 'What else?' Like, OK, that's, maybe you should know more than that. Slavery is obviously a horrific institution, but we should still know more about George Washington than that.”

One day, a small frog decided to climb a tall tree. As soon as she made her first jump, the other frogs below started shouting: “Are you crazy?” “That’s impossible!” “You’ll never make it!” But the little frog didn’t stop. Jump after jump, she kept going higher and higher—until she finally reached the very top. The frogs below were stunned. “How did she do it?!” It turned out… the frog was deaf. She couldn’t hear a word they were yelling. She thought they were cheering her on. Moral: Sometimes it’s better to be “deaf” to other people’s doubts, fears, and criticism. When you’re chasing a goal, don’t listen to those who are afraid themselves and want to pull you back. Keep climbing. Belief in yourself is stronger than any noise around you.
Firing Tucho is a benchmark for Leo XIV: New York canon lawyer and priest Gerald Murray is urging Pope Leo XIV to remove Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández as prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Speaking with journalist Raymond Arroyo, Rev Murray called Fernández’s recently resurfaced pornographic writings “a total disgrace” and “a horrendous production done by a priest”. Tucho is “completely unsuited to be a pastor of souls”. Rev Murray recalled that Pope Francis justified Tucho’s earlier books as writings of a younger priest. However, the newly revealed books were written until 2009, when Tucho was aged 46: “If we were doing a profile, a criminal profile, about a sex abuser, and I’m not saying he is a sex abuser, but if you saw this literature coming out and you would say to yourself, ‘Well, it’s quite clear that the sex abuser got started a long time ago.’” The conclusion: “He should be fired.” And: “This is going to be a benchmark for Pope Leo XIV.

It was “not so good” that Pope Francis had suppressed the traditional Roman Mass "in an authoritarian way," Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller said in an interview with journalist Michael Haynes. Pope Francis, Cardinal Müller said, had been "hurting and committing an injustice by accusing everyone who loves the older form of the rite of being against the Second Vatican Council in a general way, without any differentiating justice to single persons." The cardinal criticized what he sees as a double standard in the Vatican’s emphasis on dialogue and respect: "All the time they speak about dialogue and respect for other persons. When it comes to the homosexual agenda and gender ideology, they speak about respect—but toward their own people, they have no respect," he said. Cardinal Müller emphasized that the Church is like a family called to overcome internal tensions like brothers: "We do not have a police-state system in the Church, and we do not need one." And: "The Pope and the bishops …More
