CATHOLIC: Sins are things that offend God. Sins of commission are wrongs that we choose to do, while sins of omission are the good things we ought to do t hat we choose not to do. In order to be guilty of a sin, we must know at some level that what we are choosing to do or not do is an offense against God. However, ignorance of the law is not an excuse, since our consciences often tell us that something is wrong even if we don’t know exactly why it is wrong.
ISRAEL: In 135 CE, in an attempt to erase the association between Israel and the Jewish people, the Roman Empire changed its name to “Palestine” (land of the Philistines). In the Old Testament, the Philistines were among the tribes that fought with the Jews over the Holy Land; Goliath was a Philistine. To make the Roman moniker even more offensive, the Philistines had ceased to exist half a millennium before 135 CE.
However, the use of the name “Palestine” continued to be used long after the Roman Empire fell, but it only ever referred to a geographical region, never to a nation or a group of people. Interestingly, while the name “Israel” appears in the Qur’an, the Muslim name – “Filastin” – does not.
During the first half of the 20th century, “Palestine” referred to Jews living in the area, as well as their institutions. In 1937, a local Arab leader told the Palestine Royal Commission, “There is no such country [as Palestine]. Palestine is a term the Zionists invented! Our country for centuries was part of Syria.”
The so-called Palestinian national movement came only after the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel won control of Judea and Samaria from Jordan. Since then, just like with CRT, the Arabs that used to scorn the name have rewritten history to claim they are the true descendants of the Philistines.

POPE FRANCIS: On October 23, 2023, the Vatican sent a letter to the German bishops stating, unequivocally, that “the Church has no authority whatsoever to ordain women to the priesthood, and that all the faithful of the Church must definitively abide by this decision.” Period. End of discussion. Any attempt to ordain a woman will bring on automatic excommunication. In addition, the letter reiterates that it has always been and will always be the “constant teaching of the Church” that sexual acts between persons of the same sex are immoral.

TRANS: My favorite comment about the so-called crime of misgendering, “Dear Trans community, if you cannot accept you for who you really are, don’t expect me to accept you for who you are not.”
