Once there was a man who’d decided to convert to Catholicism. But before he could agree to be baptized, he planned to visit Rome. His parish priest pleaded with him to be baptized first, but the man insisted. The priest was sure he’d never see him again. However, the man returned weeks later more eager to be baptized than before.
“You’ve been to Rome?” the priest asked.
“Yes.”
“And you’ve seen how things work?”
“I have, and I’m convinced that the Catholic church is the one true church.”
“You are?”
“Yes. Only a truly divine institution could survive that level of corruption and immorality.”

Vatican’s Silence on Holocaust Was Shaped by Antisemitism and Caution
New scholarship shows the Catholic Church under wartime Pope Pius XII gave priority to saving Jewish converts
For decades, controversy over why Pope Pius XII didn’t speak out against the Nazi Holocaust has troubled the Catholic Church.
New research has revealed evidence that an antisemitic Vatican aide played a role in the wartime pope’s silence, as did fear of provoking violence against Catholics under Nazi rule and against the Vatican itself.
Riding in the vanguard of heavy cavalry, Sir Henry de Bohun caught sight of the Scottish King who was mounted on a small palfrey armed only with a battle-axe. De Bohun lowered his lance and charged, but Bruce stood his ground, riding on towards the English knight. The two men sped towards each other. At the last moment Bruce manoeuvred his mount nimbly to one side, stood up in his stirrups and hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that it cut through both Sir Henry's helmet and skull and into his brain. Despite the great risk the King had taken, he merely expressed regret that he had broken the shaft of his favourite axe.

‘I am not part of the problem’: Bill Gates says his private jet and climate activism are compatible
Taking about his climate innovation, Bill Gates addresses a glaring contradiction.
Bill Gates has shrugged off allegations that he’s a hypocrite for climate campaigning while travelling by private jet.
In an interview with the BBC’s Amol Rajan last week, Gates addressed the accusation by saying he offsets his family’s carbon footprint and contributes to solutions.
“I buy the gold standard of funding - Climeworks - to do direct air capture that far exceeds my family's carbon footprint. And I spend billions of dollars on climate innovation,” Gates responds during the Kenya-based interview.
“I'm comfortable with the idea that not only am I not part of the problem… but also - through the billions that my Breakthrough Energy Group is spending - that I'm part of the solution…
“So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?”
When asked why he can’t use Microsoft Teams instead of flying to the far flung destinations where his foundation operates, he argues, “I don't think you can understand this remotely.” Gates adds that he hopes to eradicate malaria in his lifetime.
