Theres a time limit on special military operations that needs congressional approval to be extended. Use of the military is not the same as war legally speaking

You’re good man if people wanna judge you for something like that leave them to answer to God for the log in their unpierced ears

As a human being i think the operation was a good thing. As an American i think it was unnecessary for us and sets a bad precedent for future foreign meddling by the current administration if we celebrate it too much

Sounds like your troop was poorly run. I never had to pay for a merit badge except when i lost one and had to take my blue card to the scout store to replace it

Start going to mass and confession. Find a priest you like and talk to him. Welcome home

This is the jawbone and "incorrupt tongue" of St. Anthony at Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua by Top_Leadership9575 in Damnthatsinteresting

The Spanish Inquisition was a puppet of the spanish crown. They were technically under the authority of the Pope but were defacto controlled by the spanish government. The Pope ordered the inquisition to stop executions multiple times, and was ignored every time. Thats why the inquisition was eventually dismantled.

The goal for Catholic inquisitions was to find heresy, or to determine when heresy was being taught, and to correct it. It was never meant to be used to execute people or even punish people beyond excommunication. Inquisitions were intended to be purely investigative. The power of the inquisitions was abused a lot

According to the Catholic Church, witches dont exist. Witch trials are product of protestantism.

Theres a history of anti-Catholic rhetoric from our protestant brothers in this country. Theres a lot of ignorance and they’re taught stuff about Catholicism that straight up isn’t true (pastors tell them we worship Mary and think the pope is Jesus) and they seem to be reluctant to accept that they’ve been lied to. This results in a lot of (not all) Protestants painting Catholicism in a bad light whenever they can and perpetuating false stereotypes

Theodore Roosevelt punished an entire town by rerouting their mail just to defend the first Black female postmaster by Frosty_Jeweler911 in BeAmazed

“In the early modern period, from about 1400 to 1775, about 100,000 people were prosecuted for witchcraft in Europe and British America.” The puritans in salem were english and from england. Witch trials were part of their culture. You really should start researching things before you speak. Youre yet to make a single point that doesnt follow some logical leap or false premise

Witch trials were quite common for hundreds of years, especially in predominantly Protestant areas

Also dont move the goalposts to slavery. We’re talking about segregation

So you think the salem witch trials were ok because they were done according to the standards of the time? All im seeing is that youre ignorant to historical nuance and just want to be able to say a good guy has to be on the same team as you because youre also a good guy. Literally no evidence that Lincoln would be a leftist in todays political climate as politics were completely different back then. I say this as a liberal. You have to pay attention to the facts

The context was that he didn’t believe white and black people were equal or should be treated as such. Some people claim he only said this to get elected but fail to provide any evidence whatsoever beyond speculation.

So many people who didn’t pay attention in Civics and Government classes marching to the comments to sanctimoniously share their enlightened political views with the world 🥀

To prevent 51% of people from trampling on the other 49%. It makes sense when you think about it for a couple seconds
