#Xenophobia, #racism and #ethnic #religious #Nationalism are mental diseases. They deserve treatment. #Homophobia and the idea you can force everyone to act heterosexually to have kids to be able to cut #SocialSecurity is a #mentaldisorder, too. Sadly so many have this cancer

This applies to organized religions & also to #spiritual non-organized #religious #prayers. Never accept prayers from anyone who isn't living in light of truth. It will bring you more unneeded harm/strife because their prayer energies are tainted.
The ornate, intricately carved main doorway of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside The Walls is made of bronze with silver inlays. It is flanked by marble sculptures and framed by an intricately detailed pediment with classical motifs.

#SCOTUS: “…split evenly Thursday in a…challenge over the nation’s first #religious charter school, leaving in place a ruling from Oklahoma’s top court that found the proposed Catholic school unconstitutional. The 4-4 split was made possible because…Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself... Though she did not explain her decision, the former University of Notre Dame law professor had multiple ties to the attorneys representing the…School.” | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/22/politics/supreme-court-st-isidore-oklahoma #1stAmendment
…Casey was the most important case of the 1991-92 term, but there were other impressive Souter successes. He, Kennedy & O'Connor also came together, again joined by Blackmun & Stevens, in a crucial #EstablishmentClause case, Lee v. Weisman, where they struck down the recital of #religious prayers at #PublicSchool graduation ceremonies.
So far today we’ve been listening to #RRR
THE #ABC’s obsession with the #Pope was driving us both batty!
I also saw a teeny bit of footage this morning where #CattleTicks were in raptures about the new Pope.
“This is so great! He’ll be perfect!”
AND - waving U.S. flags while doing it! WTF?!!!!
How do they even know him?
Is he very high profile in #religious circles?
Sunlight spills in thru a window and onto some of the wooden pews of the church of Santa Maria Nuova, a Romanesque church in Viterbo Italy. Murals depicting religious figures adorn the stone walls, adding a sense of reverence and antiquity to the scene. Processed in BW.

#Trump has proposed cutting spending on #CivilRights enforcement in #schools, work-study programs & services for #students from disadvantaged backgrounds. But one corner of the education budget he would boost: #CharterSchools [I wonder if this has something to do w/the #religious charter school case before #SCOTUS right now]. His budget proposal would increase federal support for new charter schools by $60 million, or about 8.3%.
#JohnRoberts is almost always in the majority in major cases, & he asked probing questions of both sides during the argument. But he also has consistently voted on the side of #religious rights in the court’s cases that have expanded the role of faith in #public life.
