The month of June is already taken. It has been for a long time.

CV NEWS FEED // A day after CatholicVote reported that The Hill had published a column identifying a flag of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as “a symbol associated with the Christian right wing, specifically used to protest Pride,” the publication erased that claim from the column without noting the change.
The practice of editing out controversial passages without acknowledging the correction in an editorial note is commonly known as “stealth-editing.”
Nick Robertson originally wrote in his column: “The Sacred Heart of Jesus flag is a symbol associated with the Christian right wing, specifically used to protest Pride.”
As of mid-afternoon the day after the column was published, that passage was changed to the following: “The Sacred Heart of Jesus flag has been used by some opponents of gay rights to protest Pride and LGBTQ rights in general.”
The Hill’s Senior Vice President and General Manager Joe Ruffolo did not respond to CatholicVote’s enquiry about the edit on Wednesday.
The Catholic veneration of the Sacred Heart, CatholicVote reported Tuesday, “is in fact a centuries-old devotion associated with the 17th-century visionary St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.”
CatholicVote’s report continued:
Nick Robertson’s June 10 Hill article reported on complaints from figures on the political left about the flags flown at the homes of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann Alito.
The Alitos have been the target of attacks from secular news outlets such as The New York Times, which argued that an upside-down American flag and an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown at the Alitos’ private residencies are “provocative symbol[s]” linked to the events of January 6, 2021. Some participants in those events carried these flags.
…
In an article debunking calls for Alito to recuse himself from cases, legal expert Margot Cleveland pointed out that it was Alito’s wife Martha-Ann who raised the upside-down American flag.

There is no “Christian right wing”, or “Christian Nationalist”. You either believe in Christ or you don’t. No one wants to force anyone to believe in Christ or change the nation in any significant way because they are Christian. In contrast, ahem, the Muslims want to impose Sharia law wherever they live. The separation of Church and State was put in the Bill of Rights by Christians. At that time they tended to fight amongst themselves, Anglicans versus Lutherans versus Catholics, Huguenots, Quakers. America wanted no part of that thank God.
The Hill may as well be Media Matters.
“The separation of Church and State was put in the Bill of Rights by Christians.”

Evil hates everything that is good and will continue to escalate until the Lord Jesus Christ’s return.
Matt 10:21-23
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
If you ask the DOJ or any rabid Democrat, they will tell you the Number #1 domestic threat in the USA is “Christian Nationalists.”
Why is the flying of the Sacred Heart and protest against the LGBT pride month and not the other way around? Those people are pertaining rebelling against Ouur Lord!
I will always be anti-Pride.
I believe 1856 is when June was celebrated to be the Sacred Heart of Jesus month. Fag pride “crap” in June came well after that.
Me too.
This “pride” crap was first celebrated in 1969. The month of June has been celebrated as Sacred Heart month since 1790 and the Feast of the Sacred Heart was celebrated 100 years before that. Those pagans owe us an apology for trying to hijack our month.
I’m a lot more worried by Democrats who don’t believe in the First Amendment.
The month of June is already taken. It has been for a long time.
