💭 Democrats’ attacks on people of faith as well as their erasing God “from just about every facet of our public lives,” is one of the main reasons former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard says she chose to leave the Democratic Party, asserting that many of their policymakers “think that they [themselves] are God” as they attempt to “control us in every possible way.”
Gabbard, who formally announced her departure from the Democrat Party in October, joined Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany, who served as former President Donald Trump’s press secretary, in lamenting how God was continually being “run out” of today’s society.
“It’s ironic to me that God, someone you can trust, is being run out of society,” McEnany said in the Friday segment. “[And] we know he was an integral part of our founding, mentioned in many of our founding documents.”
While separation of church and state is “found nowhere in our founding documents,” charged McEnany, “it’s been utilized to create a religion of secularism.”
Turning to Gabbard, McEnany asked if the former congresswoman thought that “erasing, broadly, God out of society in a way perhaps our founders never intended” was damaging society.
The former presidential candidate replied, “there’s no question about it.”
“This erosion of this spiritual foundation of our country is a direct consequence of those who are trying to erase God from just about every facet of our public lives,” Gabbard said.

“If you are silent about the worldwide persecution of Christians you are in some way complicit.”
👉 Many Think ‘They are God’
❖❖❖[Romans 1:28-32-28-32]❖❖❖
Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face. And they don’t care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!
💭 Crazed leftists stormed Sunday mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels dressed as handmaid’s tale characters to protest in support of abortion.
The fact that they chose Mother’s Day for their national protest is even more ghoulish than usual. The protesters attempted to shut down the Catholic service.
Security guards and parishioners forced them out of the cathedral.
❖❖❖ Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels ❖❖❖
What historically took centuries to construct was accomplished in three years in the building of the 11-story Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. This first Roman Catholic Cathedral to be erected in the western United States in 30 years began construction on May 1999 and was completed by the spring of 2002.
Spanish architect, Professor José Rafael Moneo has designed a dynamic, contemporary Cathedral with virtually no right angles. This geometry contributes to the Cathedral’s feeling of mystery and its aura of majesty.
Cathedral Design
The challenge in designing and building a new Cathedral Church was to make certain that it reflected the diversity of all people. Rather than duplicate traditional designs of the Middle Ages in Europe, the Cathedral is a new and vibrant expression of the 21st century Catholic peoples of Los Angeles.
Just as many European Cathedrals are built near rivers, Moneo considered the Hollywood Freeway as Los Angeles’ river of transportation, the connection of people to each other. The site is located between the Civic Center and the Cultural Center of the city.
“I wanted both a public space,” said Moneo, “and something else, what it is that people seek when they go to church.” To the architect, the logic of these two competing interests suggested, first of all, a series of “buffering, intermediating spaces” — plazas, staircases, colonnades, and an unorthodox entry.
Worshippers enter on the south side, rather than the center, of the Cathedral through a monumental set of bronze doors cast by sculptor Robert Graham. The doors are crowned by a completely contemporary statue of Our Lady of the Angels.
A 50 foot concrete cross “lantern” adorns the front of the Cathedral. At night its glass- protected alabaster windows are illuminated and can be seen at a far distance.
The 151 million pound Cathedral rests on 198 base isolators so that it will float up to 27 inches during a magnitude 8 point earthquake. The design is so geometrically complex that none of the concrete forms could vary by more than 1/16th of an inch.
The Cathedral is built with architectural concrete in a color reminiscent of the sun-baked adobe walls of the California Missions and is designed to last 500 years.

Researchers at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium suggest religious believers ‘seem to better perceive and integrate diverging perspectives’
Religious people are more tolerant of different viewpoints than atheists, according to researchers at a Catholic university.
A study of 788 people in the UK, France and Spain concluded that atheists and agnostics think of themselves as more open-minded than those with faith, but are are actually less tolerant to differing opinions and ideas.
Religious believers “seem to better perceive and integrate diverging perspectives”, according to psychology researchers at the private Catholic University of Louvain (UCL), Belgium’s largest French-speaking university.
Filip Uzarevic, who co-wrote the paper, said his message was that “closed-mindedness is not necessarily found only among the religious”.told Psypost:
“In our study, the relationship between religion and closed-
