Pope Francis died Easter Sunday shortly after his Easter address. Now, some people suggested that the old question, "Is the pope Catholic?", was an actual question with Pope Francis, but I'll just go without comment here.
Proven Trustworthiness
Putin declares an Easter ceasefire and then Russia attacked the Ukraine. Because, as we all know, Russia is a trustworthy entity.
That Wacky SCOTUS
For reasons beyond my comprehension, the Supreme Court has ruled that illegal aliens in Texas can't be deported. Trump may be overreaching his office, but does the Supreme Court practice border control and immigration policy now? One strange thing is that the ACLU -- the American Civil Liberties Union -- has argued for American civil liberties ... for non-Americans. It just gets stranger by the minute.
Existential Threat
Thousands protested Trump again, declaring to the world that they're opposed to democracy and only want ... power. The nation once rallied around saving the world from climate change by jumping on the Tesla bandwagon, but now protest Tesla, and they cried about Trump's "existential threat to democracy" and have become their own existential threat to democracy. Ah, the liberal mind. Who can know it?
Well ... Duh!
With all this pro-Palestinian noise being actively encouraged on colleges and universities and in the media, it shouldn't come as a surprise that antisemitic incidents have hit an all-time high in America. Surprise, surprise.
The Unnecessary Commission
The Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA) shuttered all missionary efforts. Instead of obeying Christ's command to go into all nations and make disciples, they're opting ... not to. Why? They're suffering from declining membership and donations. The obvious answer, then, is to ignore Christ, get rid of the manifest approach of making disciples for increased membership, and ... stop. But I don't think it should come as a surprise, since the PCUSA has long been so liberal they allowed atheists to be pastors, so ... I don't even know if it's a bad thing, really, for them to stop bothering other people.

In Health news, God has announced a "new" hydrating beverage without calories, sugar, carbs, artificial dyes, or additives. Water. He's a genius. (I was particularly amused at the reference to a "spokesangel".) In Education news, a local man discovered he spent $500k on an Ivy League education and all he knows how to do is shout, "Free Palestine!". He apparently does it very well, though. Finally, in light of recent rulings, Americans are beginning to think requiring a cognitive test for Supreme Court justices might be a good thing. Right?
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

It is really sad when the best I've heard from people defending his papacy is that he was more conservative than most American politicians.
Proven Trustworthiness
I truly only see two options here. Either we have a world war, or we allow Russia to take Ukraine, and then threaten more of Europe. Putin has no incentive to keep any ceasefire. A situation like Korea wouldn't be kept for long. Ukraine isn't going to push Russia out by themselves, ever. The UN either allows Ukraine to become a member and then Europe gets involved, or they reject Ukraine as a member and Russia takes over. Nobody can defend Ukraine for several more years without actual boots on the ground. Ukraine may be inflicting more damage on Russian troops than they are receiving, but Russia is getting troops support from their allies, where Ukraine isn't. It's sheer numbers.
That Wacky SCOTUS
Since they have been the source of most legislation in my lifetime, its no surprise that they are using the authority that the executive and legislative branches have afforded it.
Existential Threat
The problem is their definition of democracy. It's not the "will of the people", but the "will of their people".
Well...Duh!
The fact that so many people care this much about what is happening in Israel, yet you don't hear about anti-Russian violence, is bizarre to me. (Not to say that Israel and Russia are the same in this.) It's almost like there's an irrational hatred for a specific race of people, but I'm blanking on the word for it.
The Unnecessary Commission
I get that they have turned their back on the Bible, but I have to imagine anyone that wants to be a missionary through them was doing so against the general teachings of that organization. It is sad, because God can still use bad faith actors to spread His truth. Of course, it would be better to have more good faith actors instead.

It is insane that the latest generation is "coming up" with all these "new fads" like drinking water, or going for walks, or having some quiet time, as if they're things that humans haven't done for the vast majority of our existence.
The PCUSA has been a hollow shell of itself for years. They sold out to the progressive wing of the church and have totally marginalized themselves as a denomination with any relevance. They progressives wanted the name to give legitimacy to their positions, and they've demonstrated that they couldn't remain relevant, let alone solvent, for an extended period of time.
The rest of the "mainline" protestant denominations are probably headed down the same road.
