Learn the lesson from the Kansas creep

Pride is the fatal sin and no one exemplifies it more than the person that Richard Pettys simply refers to as ''the cretin''. This latest Tet a Tet was clearly won by team T4P but that means nothing if you do not take from it some very valuable lessons.

• Never oppose the church on matters of faith. No private revelation is worthy of any support unless is has the full and unqualified approval of the Catholic church.

• Never cede your moral authority to any political figure, party or even country. History is replete with examples of people who have fallen into this trap. No political figure is entitled to your vote or your support. It is no cheap thing. It is Sacred. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have a moral platform to follow. America is involved in the genocide of Christians and others, in Lebanon and Gaza and you cannot be a Christian and support that. While it is permissible- and even laudable- to discern the best vote or political action in a particular circumstance, blanket allegiance to any political figure constitutes idolatry and no political figure, Republican or Democrat, is worth going to hell for.

• Don't steal other people's material. There are so many AI writing tools and places where you can create images and videos. Helping yourself to other people's images, songs, videos and articles without renumeration or even approbation is online shoplifting and a mortal sin.

• Do not lie. For every lie you tell, you must tell ten more to cover it up. The numbers of lies this guy has told are in the thousands. Every time you lie, you wound your own credibility and your relationship with God.

• Accept fraternal correction from a brother. If someone proves you wrong, bear it like a man, don't pout and name call like a juvenile. We all make mistakes. Just be man enough to own it.

• Honor is earned. Don't expect to be honored because you wore the uniform if you dishonor that uniform by your despicable behavior. Do not have the gall to play the victim when your own fellow parishioners feel threatened by your bully tactics and fear having children in your vicinity because you cannot act right.

In short, be a good person not a ghoul like this guy who can't understand why literally everyone hates him.
