Reflect on hypocrisy and align actions with beliefs. This lesson helps youth understand how hypocrisy creates confusion and distrust, especially in faith. Jesus' handling of the woman caught in adultery shows the need for humility and mercy. Avoid judging others and recognize personal imperfections. Youth learn to live with kindness, humility, and self-awareness, following Jesus' example. #YouthMinistry #FaithJourney #Integrity #Compassion #Hypocrisy https://young-catholics.com/14808/exploring-hypocrisy-free-lesson-plan/

GOP stripping the marginalized in repurposed discrimination to protect themselves from the bogeyman. An abhorrent and anathema act.

GOP/MAGA Christians spending their Sunday in church praising the human cruelty of this administration...

Labour MPs clearly despise experts as much as the Conservatives. How much do they know about the consequences of what they are voting on? Or do they really care? I suspect a mixture of the two.

We are outraged to learn that Canada has approved a contract for the export of artillery propellant to the Israeli military via the US, despite an explicit commitment from Minister Joly that she would stop such transfers.

It’s not the #hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the #stupidity. We’re all shocked—shocked!—that Pres Trump & his team don’t actually care about protecting #classified info or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already. What’s much worse is that top #Trump admin ofcls put our troops in jeopardy by sharing #military plans on a commercial messaging app & unwittingly invited a journalist….That’s dangerous. And it’s just dumb.
