Elvis Presley

Daniel Chase13 said:Not really.
It’s actually a Catholic program where guests are invited and treated with genuine respect—basically viewed as fellow Catholic commentators. The only thing they poke fun at are those tired, empty slogans used by old-school Marxists, hardline communists, or the Dawkins-style crowd (though, granted, not every single atheist falls into that camp).

Stephen King said:Slogan 1.
Therefore kill all the male children! And kill every woman who knew a man!
And leave all the young girls who haven't known a man alive for yourselves.

Slogan 2.
... kill men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, donkeys and mules!

Slogan 3.
... kill without mercy. Let your eyes have no pity and show no compassion. Kill the elderly, the youths, the maidens, the children, and the women; wipe them all out to the last one.

So, where are all your gays, Mexicans, and those red kmers...?

Daniel Chase13 said:The empty slogans of the Communists are regularly mocked—and I want to be clear, I am referring to their hollow rhetoric, not the people themselves—which is what I was getting at when I mentioned those "empty political slogans." As for Americans, they are loved by God and Jesus Christ just like anyone else. In fact, you'll see Americans appearing as guests on interesting programs over at Fox News quite often. Furthermore, we shouldn't be mocking people with homosexual inclinations; nobody there does that. Instead, they are simply invited, just like everyone else, to turn toward our Creator, Jesus Christ, and to lead a life of outward purity.

So, what do Catholics actually think about Elvis Presley and his pseudo-Christian sect?

Well, look—Elvis Presley is a Roman Catholic himself. Aside from being featured on Fox News, he’s been invited onto EWTN, where, by the editor's choice, they actually read entire passages from one of his books daily at 1 PM. He gets invited to EWTN's other programs, he appears on NPR's religious segments, and he even visits local Catholic parishes to set up booths and sell his books. He’s a regular fixture at the annual Catholic Retreat—you know, that week dedicated to clergy—where he sells his work right there at his stall. On top of that, he has priests writing forewords for his books, and he even gives lectures at the St. Jerome Society, which is led by a Catholic priest...

Daniel Chase13 said:The thing is—everyone else knows all this too, including his long-time critics—and honestly, even those people who invite Elvis Presley onto Catholic media outlets are well aware of the whole situation. 🍿

Daniel Chase13 said:Haha, well, look—regardless of what any of us might think about him, the reality is that they're calling up Elvis Presley for both Catholic outlets and various secular media shows alike.

Charles Thompson2 said:I asked about Catholics who actually respect Vatican City (are there any others?), not about the media outlets used by some local pseudo-Catholic sect that declares their own pilgrimage sites , canonizes their own saints and uses their own interpretations of the Bible as if it were some kind of national political manifesto.

So, what does Vatican City actually say about Elvis Presley? Has the Holy See ever nominated him, certified him to spread the Word of God, supported him, or even just mentioned him?

Daniel Chase13 said:In an official letter from the Holy See, Pope Francis expressed his sincere gratitude to Elvis Presley for his unwavering loyalty and respect. Along with that thanks, the Pope extended his apostolic blessing to Elvis Presley and his entire team—wishing them nothing but continued success in all their future endeavors.

I was scrolling through Facebook earlier and came across this post from the Nation page—it really makes you stop and think about the current state of things. It’s one of those pieces that hits a nerve because it touches on the tension between our deep-seated values and the way the world seems to be shifting under our feet. It reminded me of a conversation I had a few years back while grabbing coffee in Seattle—just a quiet moment where we discussed how much harder it is to maintain a sense of tradition when everything feels like it's moving at a thousand miles an hour. There's a certain weight to these discussions, isn't there? It’s not just about politics or news cycles; it’s about the soul of the country and how we hold onto what matters most. The tone of the post is quite pointed, and honestly, I find myself nodding along to several parts of it. It captures that feeling of being a bit out of step with the mainstream narrative, which—let's be honest—is a feeling many of us share more often than we care to admit. It’s a lot to process, but it’s certainly worth the reflection.

That’s a really beautiful call to action for any Catholic looking to put their faith into practice.

Charles Thompson2 said:LoL!!! 😂

The Nation-Nation magazine =>via Facebook=> is reporting on Pope Francis 🤣
What's next... Is Donald Trump being declared the new Pope on Twitter? 🤣
This is about as authentic as that "blessing from Pope Benedict XVI for creationists" 🤣

One Day, all these Elvis Presley devotees will be beating their chests, chanting Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa... personally, if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't be counting too much on His Grace after that much infidelity and sin... ☕

Charles Thompson2 said:And what exactly is the Catholic consensus on Elvis Presley and his pseudo-Christian cult?

Lisa Jackson7 said:Marino Miletić: Self-proclaimed prophet Elvis Presley and the Flat Earth madness

There's really not much left to say about this mess...

Charles Gonzalez19 said:The whole thing with Elvis Presley (and yours too, honestly) claiming women are basically just "cows on two legs" actually lines up perfectly with those old-school Biblical/Catholic views where women are seen as lesser beings or just property. That's exactly why they keep inviting him back.
