Answers to question asked by Pew Reaearch % of US Catholics who say __ (fill in answer) is an essential part of what “being Catholic” means to them.

Anyone else wanna ask @pewresearch.org to come up with better answers? These are just too 21st century American Evangelicalism and not American Catholicism especially that first answer “having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” #religion #christianity #catholic

not from Vatican.

nope. fake.

Press release from Vatican stating pope will remain on X and Instagram only as @Pontifex with history of those handles

sure wish the big guy Pope Leo XIV @pontifex would add Bluesky and Threads.

many of us Catholics will never go back to toxic and controlled by Space Boy X. Instagram is just not meant for conversation.

can we at least get the @vatican news site here? 🇻🇦

Nearly 30 years after he raped and murdered a nun, an Ohio man asked for forgiveness Spared the death penalty, the man who murdered an Ursuline sister 30 years ago writes to ask them for forgiveness. They give it, and transform their healing into activism.

I’m Catholic, with a big C, and I don’t care about following or follows or follow backs.

All I care about is making sure Catholics discuss issues here instead of X or, now, Threads.

Yes, we have to fight off porn and bots but, hey, we’re on the internet.

We can do Catholic Bluesky!!

so, Catholics, do we need to watch the movie “Conclave?”

if we do, are we going to be seriously sad at all the Church misses and mistakes?

lotsa folks are liking it so, do we need to know why?

most important: can we just wait for it to be free on a streaming service?

so. many. questions. 😆
