Why did Queen Letizia of Spain wear all white in the presence of Pope Leo XIV, while all the other women wore the traditional black? Many media outlets praised the Queen's 'disruptive' all-white style.

They are, unfortunately, ignorant of the tradition of Le privilège du blanc.

This papally approved privilege allows certain Catholic queens and princesses to wear white, not black, in the presence of the Pope. Let’s look at the history of Le privilège du blanc: 🧵 In Catholic symbolism (and human symbolism), black garments signify humility and the desire to remain unnoticed.

During a papal audience, traditional protocol dictates that men dress simply, while women should wear long, black dresses that cover the knee, have high collars (no cleavage is allowed in the presence of the pope), and feature long sleeves.

Melania and Ivanka Trump provide an example of how it’s supposed to look:

Did you know about the EMPTY TOMB of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Jerusalem?

Here’s a thread on what we know about her tomb along with some photos and historical research 🧵 The Catholic Church and all the Eastern Orthodox Churches teach that the body of the Blessed Virgin Mary was taken to heaven by Jesus Christ and that she is bodily seated at Christ’s right hand, just as King Solomon enthroned his mother on his right hand as queen mother. (1 Kgs 2:19) Here are the facts that we know about her EMPTY tomb🧵

When people find out we have 8 kids and make a comment, what’s the best response? Here’s how we handle it: 🧵 Usually older people (60+) will say “Well you have your hands full.”

We respond by saying “hand full of blessings.” They either like that and smile or sneer.

Dispensationalism is the American heresy par excellence. Here’s what it is and why it’s wrong:

Dispensationalism holds that “Israel” and “Church” are entirely 2 different realities. Continued:

🧵👇🏻 2) Dispensationalism is the false belief that God has a Plan A Jewish plan of salvation and a Plan B Gentile plan of salvation.

It denies the covenantal or testamental theology of redemptive history held by Catholics, Orthodox and most Protestants. 🧵

Today is the #Catholic feast of Saint Michael, the Archangel. He is mentioned Daniel, Jude, and the Apocalypse.
He is the Angel that resisted the rebellious Angel Lucifer. His name means: 👇🏻🧵 Michael is Mi Cha El, which in Hebrew means: “Who is like God?”
- the question he proposed rhetorically to Lucifer when Lucifer attempted to become his own god.

Dali Lama and CIA and sexual abuse controversy Thread 🧵 (1/11)

In 1998, the Dalai Lama's administration acknowledged that it received $1.7 million a year from the U.S. government through a Central Intelligence Agency program.

👉🏻 That’s $1.7 million from the CIA PER YEAR! 1/🧵 The Dalai Lama responded that "the U.S. Government had involved itself in his country's affairs not to help Tibet but only as a Cold War tactic to challenge the Chinese."

The Dalai Lama is used as a chess piece ♟️ in the Cold War in exchange for cash. 2/🧵

Today is the Catholic feast of Saint John (Ἰωάννης) the Apostle, the youngest apostle, and the son of Zebedee and Salome. His brother James was another of the Twelve Apostles. He was the one unmarried Apostle.

He wrote the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation. 🧵 John was the only Apostle who followed Christ to the cross and attended to Christ’s mother. He said to John “Behold your mother.”

December 26 is Catholic feast day of Saint Stephen - martyr and Catholic deacon. Stephen was a deacon in the apostolic Church at Jerusalem who angered the perfidious Jewish religious leaders by his teaching that Jesus is the Messiah. [Acts 7:51–53]

They tried him for blasphemy and stoned him to death. St Paul participated in the murder.

Mike @Cernovich is reading Fr. Seraphim Rose. 🤯 It’s mind-blowing but makes sense. When men see our sexually depraved culture for what it is, they look for answers. Roosh V turned to Orthodoxy, because it imposes Christian Penance & Asceticism to overcome disorder. Continued:
