@SarahTheSpartan I’ll miss you too! 💕

I’ve been thinking about quitting X altogether (though I haven’t fully decided yet). I deleted the app from my phone, thinking that only using it on my computer would help me spend less time on screens, step away from social media, and avoid the toxic behavior I’ve seen from Christians online. But I was wrong. The way Christians act does not change the nature of our Blessed Lord. He is all good, all-knowing, and unchanging. But the way we behave does affect how others perceive Him. Right now, what many people see is far from who He truly is, and it breaks my heart. I’m not here to lecture anyone, but I’ve reached my limit with how Christians treat others online. Our Lord always spoke the truth, but He did so with mercy and love. He never encouraged the harshness and cruelty I see so many using—not just toward new believers, but toward fellow Christians and those who want nothing to do with the faith. The whole situation with Nala and @michaeljknowles has been the last straw for me. What happened to Christian charity? What happened to understanding that only God knows the hearts of men? Why don’t we offer people the resources and opportunities to grow in faith, instead of assuming the worst about them? I don’t know if Nala is lying or not—only the Lord knows. But even if someone were lying about their conversion, that wouldn’t justify the vile, dehumanizing things I’ve seen people say. I would never repeat some of the things I’ve read, and I am ashamed they come from people who claim to follow Christ. Let me be clear: calling out sin is necessary. Correction is necessary. We are called to help one another grow in holiness. But there is a way to do that without cruelty, self-righteousness, or acting as if we are without sin ourselves. Fraternal correction is a duty, but it must be done with humility and love, not mockery and condemnation. Our Blessed Lord suffered under Pontius Pilate, was scourged, and died on the cross for all sinners. He didn’t pick and choose who He would suffer for. He died for the porn star, the drug addict, the alcoholic, the liar, the thief, the adulterer, the murderer—He died for everyone. None of us have the right to decide who is or isn’t worthy of His redemption, because the truth is, none of us are. Salvation is a free gift, and without it, no matter how "righteous" we think we are, we are nothing. This lack of charity isn’t just directed at new believers—it happens between fellow Christians too. I know that different denominations have always had their differences, but from the corner of X I’m in, I especially see it between Protestants and Catholics. It’s disgraceful. I say this as someone who has decided to convert to Catholicism. I’m waiting to start RCIA when I get to college, but what I see from both sides isn’t debate or evangelization—it’s bad-faith arguments, vile language, and vitriol that is not of God. It is demonic. What kind of witness does this give to the world? If we, as Christians, can’t even speak to each other with basic decency, how can we expect to bring anyone to Christ? Who would want to follow Him when His own followers are constantly tearing each other apart? Very few Christians engage in good-faith discussions. The only well-known ones I can think of right now are @RealMattFradd and @Trent_Horn. There may be others, but they stand out because they know how to argue without hatred. That should be the standard, not the exception. The same applies to how we speak to non-believers. Are we prepared to be judged for the souls we push away? Do we realize that if we lead others astray—if we become a stumbling block to those who might otherwise have sought Christ—we will be held accountable? I firmly believe we can fall from grace. While salvation is a free gift, we can lose it. If our actions drive others away from Christ, we will answer for that. I say all of this not from a place of superiority, but from a place of heartbreak. I have fallen short too. But I am tired. This is not what our Blessed Lord desires from us. This is not what He called us to. We should be very careful where we tread—because the wide road can seem straight and narrow for a time, but before we know it, it will be too late. We cannot undo our words and actions. We must be mindful now of what we say and do. We must truly practice what we preach.

I honestly don’t want to say this, but I’m really disappointed by the replies here. Even if she were lying—though we can’t know for sure, because only God knows people’s hearts—there should still be charity in how we respond. The language and anger being thrown around isn’t right. If she were lying, Christ would call her out, but He would do so with truth and mercy, not cruelty. It’s hard to see this from fellow Christians. Tonight, before bed, I’ll be praying a rosary for Nala, her husband, Michael, and anyone caught up in all this anger. I just hope we can all remember to act with charity. The way we treat each other affects how others see Christ, even if that’s not His true nature. I really hope the Holy Spirit moves the hearts of those speaking this way toward a better, more fruitful direction.

@pearlythingz @michaeljknowles 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is amazing! @michaeljknowles unabashedly doesn’t care about what strangers on the internet have to say, and honestly, I’m here for it 😂. Can’t wait to watch the episode!

@nottheoljc She’s younger by 13 years

You’re forgetting the versus just before that Matthew 7:1-2. They aren’t profits and if you truly feel like you have the higher ground in this then cast to the first stone and don’t bring me into this, I don’t know why you believed that you needed to draw me into this specifically when there are countless other people that like The Daily Wire other than myself and I don’t particularly want to know whether or not you’re trying to start a problem, but I’m going to move on from you now

My little sister just painted my nails, and she actually didn’t do a bad job at all.

RT @catechumemes: Catholics, do not let yourself be provoked by Protestants, Muslims, Atheist, or any opposition for that matter. If they…

We as Christians need to stop telling people they’re going to hell—especially when it’s done not out of charity but as an insult. That kind of behavior is so un-Christlike that it’s sickening. Yes, we must share the reality of sin before we proclaim the hope of salvation, but constantly condemning people without love only pushes them further from Christ. It’s not just ineffective—it’s foolish. There are countless more effective ways to reach people, and the worst possible approach is to bluntly declare someone is going to hell without explaining original sin, its consequences, or the price Christ paid for our redemption. If we truly want to bring others to Christ, we need to follow His example: speak the truth, but always in love. Christ preached about sin and hell, but He did so to call people to repentance, not to drive them away. Throwing condemnation at someone without context or care isn’t evangelization—it’s just self-righteous posturing.
