Jimmy Kimmel’s Interview with James Talarico

 

Sep 10, 2026 #Kimmel

Jimmy’s interview with Democratic Senate candidate from Texas James Talarico was not televised because of threats from the FCC so we're hosting their discussion here on YouTube. James talks about Republicans being scared of him winning, Jesus being co-opted by MAGA, the RNC Convention being held in Texas, not taking money from corporate PACs, Trump calling him a “freaky guy” and having second thoughts about endorsing his opponent Ken Paxton, and the GOP making it harder for people to vote.

We cannot evangelize without kindness

 

Jesus’ words point to a way forward

Saint Patrick Catholic Parish

The Catholic Church Explained

We, the church of Saint Patrick, in the community of North Park,

of the Roman Catholic Diocese and City of San Diego,

declare this to be our primary mission:

to come together to celebrate the Eucharist,

hear God’s word proclaimed,

give praise and thanksgiving to God,

and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

We believe that by freely sharing our faith, talents, and treasures,

we discover Christ’s presence among us and bring Him to others.

We have a strong desire to give and receive love, service, peace, support,

and fellowship, within our families, our parish, our community, and the world.

Open to the power of the Holy Spirit, we pursue this mission faithfully and lovingly.

A Betrayal in Bronze: On the Return of the Confederate Memorial to Arlington

 

Our nation’s capital is a city of symbols. Its obelisks and colonnades, its statues and inscriptions, are meant to sign forth the best of our history — to be honorific of the men and women who shaped our national identity and who speak, in stone and bronze, of the best of who we are. Arlington National Cemetery is perhaps the most solemn of these symbols: row upon row of white markers standing sentinel over those who died to preserve, in Lincoln’s words, a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal — e pluribus unum, one out of many.

A Generation of Heretics

 

Written by Paul Chu

We are all familiar with the passage from the Book of Habakkuk that seems to have been a favorite of St. Paul (he cites it in three different letters – or four, for anyone who credits the Letter to the Hebrews to him): The righteous live by their faith. In Lumen Fidei,  Pope Francis’s first encyclical (while also in some respects Pope Benedict’s last), it is said of religious faith: “It is impossible to believe on our own.” Indeed, faith is ecclesial; it is held together, in community. Yet in a certain sense it is also impossible to believe anything on our own, at all.

Almost thirty years ago, Pope St. John Paul II wrote in Fides et Ratio:

[T]here are in the life of a human being many more truths which are simply believed than truths which are acquired by way of personal verification. Who, for instance, could assess critically the countless scientific findings upon which modern life is based? Who could personally examine flow of information which comes day after day from all parts of the world and which is generally accepted as true?
