Christians bound, blindfolded, before being forced to jump into sea by India’s Navy

Fate of Christians is unknown
NEW DELHI — Relatives of ethnic Rohingya Christian refugees cast into the sea by India’s Navy have yet to hear from them nearly two months after the cast-offs swam ashore to their native Myanmar (Burma).
“If someone could just tell us if they are alive or dead — this anxiety is killing us,” Sadeq Shalom told Morning Star News in Delhi.
Refugees from Myanmar themselves, the relatives of the cast-offs, have been hunted by Delhi police since Indian authorities deported 38 Rohingya, including 15 Christians, on May 6.

Former medium warns Christians against the occult: ‘No such thing as a good witch’
- By Michie
GRAPEVINE, Texas — Jenn Nizza still remembers the moment the door first opened.
She was 13 years old, growing up on Long Island in a culturally Catholic family, when her mother, a hairdresser, hosted a psychic party in their home.
“It was in a little beauty parlor setting. Everyone got a 15-minute tarot reading,” Nizza told The Christian Post.
Hers, like her sister’s, left an impression that would last for decades.
The cards told her things that were true, facts about her past that felt impossible for a stranger to know. “That’s the hook,” she said. “Demons can see the past. They can’t tell the future — only God can — but they make good guesses. And that’s all it takes to get you in.”
What followed was a descent that, in retrospect, she describes as both seductive and sinister. “It was daily. Multiple times a day,” she said of the tarot readings she and her sister performed on each other. From there, she pursued numerology, astrology and eventually psychic mediumship. At one point, a professional medium told her she, too, had “the gift.”

John Burke, a pastor and author who has studied and examined more than 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences, wasn’t always a believer in the supernatural.
Burke is the author of Imagine the God of Heaven: Near-Death Experiences, God’s Revelation, and the Love You’ve Always Wanted, but he was once an agnostic, skeptical of faith.
“I ended up studying engineering and working as an engineer,” he told Jen Lilley and Billy Hallowell on the “Into the Supernatural Podcast.” “So my mind has always worked like that. Like, skeptical — ‘How do you know? Is there any evidence? Why does that make sense?'”
Burke continued, “And nobody could really answer my question. So I just decided: ‘Jesus is probably a good man who turned legend and God, you just can’t know. There’s no evidence.'”
But when Burke’s dad was dying of cancer decades ago, he started learning about near-death experiences (NDEs) — scenarios in which people clinically die and have no heartbeat or brain activity yet report consciousness. He first encountered the issue when his father was reading a book about it.

Virginia's ban on LGBT ‘conversion' talk therapy for minors struck down
- By Michie
Virginia's ban on sexual orientation change efforts talk therapy for LGBT-identified minors, referred to by critics as "gay conversion therapy," has been effectively struck down following a legal challenge by two Christian counselors.
John and Janet Raymond, along with the Virginia Department of Health Professions, agreed to a consent decreelast month in the Circuit Court of Henrico County, which was recently made public.
The measure, HB 386, bars licensed professionals from trying to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity and regards such counseling as unprofessional conduct and grounds for disciplinary action.

“Saved Through Islam”: Michael Lofton Jumps the Shark

When Reason & Theology became Reason & Dhimmitude
"Jumping the shark" is an idiom that refers to a point where a creative work, especially a television show, has reached its peak and is starting to decline in quality or relevance. It's often used to describe a moment when a show introduces a ridiculous or unbelievable plot element in a desperate attempt to stay popular. The phrase originated from a 1977 episode of the TV show Happy Days where Fonzie water-skis over a shark.
It finally happened.
After years of circling the tank, Michael Lofton has officially jumped the shark. In his June 30, 2025 video titled “Does Catholicism Teach Muslims Can Be Saved?”, Lofton attempts to defend religious pluralism Vatican II–style, assuring viewers that Muslims can indeed be saved, not despite their religion, but in some mysterious sense, through it.The skis left the water when Lofton claimed that non-Christians can be saved “through the goodness” found in their own religions. Not in spite of their errors. Not because God rescues them out of those religions. But by the Holy Spirit working through the goodness withinthose religions, as long as the person is sincere, of course.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when your ecclesiology is shaped by non-Magisterial subterfuge.
Let’s walk through the wreckage.
From “No Salvation Outside the Church” to “Saved Through the Mosque”

Let’s Play Monopoly: Capitalist vs Socialist
By Jeb Smith
www.thepostil.com
Socialism and capitalism are not at war with each other—they are in cahoots with each other. They have formed that unholy alliance, the servile state—big government propped up by big business, and big business propped up by big government
-Dale Ahlquist et al., The Hound of Distributism: A Solution for Our Social and Economic Crisis
The Right and Left are engaged in a game of Monopoly, where citizens, the economy, and the structure of society are the properties on the board that they compete to dominate. Both sides aim to control everything for their own advantage. One seeks conquest by a few tyrannical “free market” giants, while the other aims for a single monopoly of power centered in the government.
Before the rise of either socialism or capitalism, before the 14th century, people lived under a libertarian form of tribal kingship. Most governance was based on consent, and many individuals achieved self-governance. The law was unchangeable and set in stone, meaning that there were no regulatory authorities, elected officials, or powerful interest groups that could manipulate the customs or laws of the people.
Citizens adhered to their own laws, and lived in self-sufficient units as agriculturalist providers for themselves, owners of shops etc. Compared to today. government interference in people’s lives, the economy, and various aspects of society was minimal, often non-existent.
Given that they were not artificially manipulated by powerful entities, land, political power, military influence, and economic resources were distributed much more widely among guilds, knights, lords, kings, and the populace. As a result monopolies, if any existed, were few and weak, and did not negatively influence society at large.
Significant change began to take place during the 14th century. The revival of Roman law reintroduced representative government, parliamentary systems, and gave the tribal kings – now transformed into monarchs – the ability to create and adapt laws. Governance shifted from the people to parliaments and individuals meant to “represent” them. As this transformation occurred, powerful interest groups emerged, primarily wealthy merchants and early capitalists, who began to influence monarchs and parliaments for their own benefit.
As capitalism replaced the old order, the powerful could purchase land to own outright and free of obligation, and an increasingly smaller percentage of the population, often the rich merchant class or influential governmental individuals, owned more and more money, power and land. Individuals became powerful and communities diminished. As time elapsed, political and economic power gravitated to the center. These individuals gobbled up large tracts of land, and entire towns and villages succumbed to centralized power.
Over the centuries to come, these powerful capitalists, colluding with the political powers, utilized government power to control the market and help maintain and increase their monopolies.
Through property taxes, regulations, subsidies, bailouts and other means, the capitalists removed people from their land and as small shop owners. They squashed any up-and-coming competitors and drove people into the cities to work as hourly earners under a capitalist boss in factories. They forced them to enter the capitalistic economy they were building as wage slaves, swelling the ranks of workers and providing bountiful cheap labor for the elites, whose greed maintained a tyrannical grip on the economy, politics, workplaces and individual workers.
Small businesses were crippled by expenses the major corporations can handle, and thus dominate the market by running competition into the ground. The capitalist buys former owners’ land or shops, incorporates them into his own holdings and uses his power and influence to hire politicians through endorsements.
Once the free-market oligarchs hold a monopoly, they set their prices and profits; they begin to take a more significant portion of earnings for themselves, giving less to the employees and extracting more from the customers. They eradicate all competition, and the end game of “free market” capitalism is a dictatorship of the few wealthiest capitalists and their political allies. A larger and larger disparity between rich and poor results.
In this new and increasingly unequal world, where wealth and political power are centralized and monopolized by the few, and the masses are increasingly taxed, abused, manipulated and subjected to oppressive factory conditions, they sought relief from the only agent powerful enough to perhaps counter the soulless corporations abusing them: the government.
Not only did they empower the government to help accomplish their desires, but many even further empowered the government to resist the tyrannical capitalist. The tyranny of unbridled free market capitalism gave rise to the “left” who desired an all-powerful organization that had an absolute monopoly on all say in governance and economics: socialism.
While capitalists desire that the economy be controlled by a few monopolies rather than being dispersed and decentralized among the people, socialists want a single, all-powerful monopoly—the government—to control everything. Therefore, it seems that socialists may be more potent capitalists than capitalists themselves, because they desire one monopoly instead of a few. Thus, socialism can be viewed as capitalism’s logical conclusion—a single, powerful monopoly.
To a distributist, the difference between a few corporations using the government for their benefit and one government using those corporations in the same way is not significant. Both scenarios involve a monopoly: one with many corporations and one with just the government.
As was often the case during the “early” and “high” Middle Ages, Distributism takes away the ability of others to monopolize you; the board is removed, the game no longer played. It aims to provide the conditions for all men and all families, and localities to have freedom of choice, untroubled by distant powerful monopolies on the left or right, and to return normality to humanity.
When people have been free from distant, powerful, coercive forces, they have congregated into small, self-sufficient and like-minded tribes centered on family, faith, and leisure. That is the game we ought to be playing, rather than letting oligarchs play Monopoly.

Strengthening the Seal: Yet Another Diocese Returns Confirmation to Younger Children, Where It Belongs...
- By Michie
- One Bread, One Body - Catholic

There is a distinctive pause the moment a parent witnesses their child's Baptism. This momentary pause of pure awe and wonder is quite natural because it reveals the intimate love a parent has for their child. It expresses a desire for their child to receive everything necessary to strengthen the awe and wonder that are witnessed by both parents, the child, and the community. When the Priest proclaims the words of Jesus Christ and proceeds to initiate the child into the Kingdom of God in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the gift of grace, which is the free and undeserved help that God gives to respond to his call to become children of God (CCC 1996) is immediately thrust upon the child and witnessed by all present. The child is now officially claimed by God through Jesus Christ, the Son, and confirmed by the Holy Spirit.
It should surprise no one that what was just described is a real event, the literal administration of a sacrament specifically meant to initiate a human being made in the image and likeness of God to permanently become part of the family of God in the Catholic Church. Hence, the seal of baptism can never be undone; it is permanently unbroken. Now, the journey takes a different turn; the newly baptized will require constant spiritual nourishment in the Catholic faith. A holy urgency exists to strengthen the faith of the child and not to allow the awe and wonder witnessed at baptism to diminish or, worse, become unrecognizable altogether.
As a child matures both in age and wisdom, the urgency to view the world through a Catholic lens becomes more important. The grace received at baptism serves as the initial step to help the child grow and mature in his awareness of God as Father and Creator, himself as a child made in the image and likeness of God, and his place in this world under the guidance of his parents, but even more by the Holy Spirit. The urgency to continue the child’s awareness of his faith takes a significant turn upon preparation to receive the sacrament of Confirmation and eventually the Holy Eucharist. The sacrament of Confirmation, which is part of the sacraments of initiation along with the Holy Eucharist, specifically completes the graces the child received at baptism by an outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit through an anointing with chrism. Confirmation imparts a permanent seal and an indelible mark in union with Jesus Christ to go forth and actively live a life representative of the Apostles.

Theologian NT Wright defends traditional male pronouns for God amid cultural shifts

Theologian N.T. Wright recently emphasized that while God transcends gender, using traditional male pronouns like “Father” remains theologically appropriate when understood in light of Scripture.
In a wide-ranging conversation on the "Ask N.T. Wright Anything" podcast, the theologian and former bishop of Durham addressed the question: Is it appropriate to refer to God using male pronouns?
The question came from a listener in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who noted the tension between the use of male language for God — such as “He” and “Father” — and the theological understanding that God transcends human categories, including gender. The listener acknowledged Jesus’ own references to God as Father and wondered whether using male pronouns for the Trinity remains valid today.
