Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron sharply criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for dismissing calls for prayer following Wednesday’s deadly Catholic school shooting, calling the mayor’s remarks "completely asinine." "Catholics don’t think that prayer magically protects them from all suffering. After all, Jesus prayed fervently from the cross on which he was dying," Barron told Fox News Digital. The shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis killed two children and injured 18 other people during a morning Mass, according to police. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the bureau is investigating the attack as both a possible act of domestic terrorism and a...

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned her predecessor Jen Psaki on Thursday for comments dismissing prayer in the wake of a mass shooting at a Roman Catholic school in Minnesota that left two children dead. "I saw the comments of my predecessor, Ms. Psaki, and frankly, I think they're incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans of faith across this country who believe in the power of prayer," Leavitt said during a press briefing at the White House. With class and calm, Karoline Leavitt just absolutely wrecked Jen Psaki for mocking the power...

— he aimed his wrath at God by trying to stop people with his bullets from praying to God. Now is a time for us to come together and join hands in prayer, for the children who were killed, their loved ones, and those who survived this horrific shooting.

Hours after a young man who appeared to identify as a woman and to hate Christians opened fire on Catholic primary school students at Mass on Wednesday, leftist Twitter had identified a culprit: prayer. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings,” wrote Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and an MSNBC host. “Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.” “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying,” lectured Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. “Forget about thoughts and prayers,” echoed CNN host Dana...

Vance called it "shocking" for "so many left-wing politicians" to attack the idea and added that "no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." "We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening," he wrote in a post on X. The vice president also responded to former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who said, "prayer is not freaking enough." "Of all the weird left wing culture wars in the last few years, this is by far the most bizarre. 'How dare you pray for innocent people in the midst of tragedy?!' What are...

Conducted May 22nd and 23rd, the poll shows the majority of Minneapolis voters do not want Mayor Jacob Frey for a third term
