You didn’t actually watch the re-entry and splashdown, did you? They picked up two astronauts in one helo and two in another, that’s all. Nothing was “edited away”. Not everything is a conspiracy. Those voices in your head are just voices in your head.

Potentially hilarious, that is. I think if I had been Cdl. Pierre, I would have responded, "So, you think you're going to elect a Pope who's a wholly-owned American lapdog, and then move the Vatican to Indiana? Ha, ha! Good luck with that!"

I think the comment about the "Catholic-phobic left media" is dead on the money.

your own church admonished RC rulers to exterminate those she deemed heretics

Extermino, -are in Latin does not mean "to wipe out" or "to kill without mercy". It means "to drive out" or "to expel". You can see that from the word itself: "ex-" (out of, out from) and "termino" (from "terminus" = border, frontier).

The same decrees which ordered the "extermination" of heretics also talked about how "exterminated" heretics who repented were to be received back into the Church.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program of FR anti-Catholic, anti-historical distortions and misrepresentations.

GPS? Are you serious?

GPS depends on satellites. The first one of those was still 12 years in the future in 1945. The GPS project was started in 1973 and became fully operational in 1993.

Hey Mikey: Fat, drunk stupid, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

That story sounds rather ... bizarre. Why is the “Undersecretary for Defense Policy” summoning a foreign ambassador to the Pentagon for a closed-door meeting? Was a representative of the Secretary of State even present? Since when does a minor DoW official conduct US foreign policy?

That’s exactly why so many people who comprehend God‘s word

Haven't found any FR anti-Catholics who "comprehend God's word". Most of them rip a few verses out of Romans and Galatians and think that's all there is to the Gospel. Most of them are completely ignorant of typology. When you show them the roots of the faith in the Old Testament, they bleat, "That's the Old Testament and it doesn't apply to us".

Show me an Apostle who ever said or even thought such a thing. So much for "every Scripture is 'God-breathed' and useful for instruction in righteousness". They don't believe it!

And I’ve noticed that YOUR Jesus is still hanging on the cross.

And have you noticed that Paul says he "preach(es) Christ crucified, a folly to Greeks and to the Jews, a stumbling block"?

Do you understand you're comparing a daytime image, illuminated by the sun, to a long-exposure nighttime image, illuminated only by the full moon?

"Chemtrailng" has absolutely nothing to do with it.

How many people would be left on this website if it were cleared of conspiracy theorists and Russian disinformation assets? Ten?

What was “fake” about it?

The politicians are protected by men with guns.

The common people don't have that luxury.

Has to be an inspections regime in place to guarantee that they aren’t building nuclear weapons. They also need to stop their support of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other terrorist orgs.

Are you? How would we know?

Too bad FR caucus breakers are scofflaws who never learned decent manners when they were kids.

What are FR caucus breakers all about? A pathological need for attention?

Yet God specifically commands the making of graven images when he designed the "bronze sea" (resting on the backs of 12 oxen) and the Ark of the Covenant (surmounted by two cherubim). The Hebrew word "pesel" really means "idol"; translating it as "graven images" without elaboration is really a translation error in the KJV. (Of which there aren't a huge number, but this is one.)

Why are you picking on "Roman Catholicism" per se? The licit use of images in worship, against the Iconoclasts, was affirmed by the 2nd Council of Nicaea, 3 centuries before the schism between the Latin West and the Greek East, and is affirmed by both Catholics and Orthodox today.

The holiday we call Easter is a pagan holiday.

The name in English may have pagan origins, but that's about it. The holiday has been the commemoration of the central event in the Christian faith from the beginning. Call it by its Greek name, Pascha, if you like. That word is a straightforward borrow from the Hebrew pesach, Passover.

Moses as an infant was played by Charlton Heston’s son, Fraser.

Oman isn’t on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE, Dubai specifically, is.

Grumman built the Lunar Module. North American Rockwell built the Command and Service Modules. North American’s aviation division was sold to Boeing in 1996.
