@rexthundercock "We don't believe in Transubstantiation we believe in Metaousios"
ok what does that mean in Greek?
"Change in substance"
Many such cases. They just do it to sound different and they love creating false differences and dissentions where none exist.
St Anne’s Church, Somerset, Wisconsin upgraded their church.
Rededicated in 2023, this project sought to restore the parish, to “the grandeur that was envisioned during its construction, over 100 years ago.”
Like many others, this church was wreckovated in the 70s. The 2023 renovations reinstalled a traditional altar, side altars and painted the church
(I hope all my “muh ugly blue ceilings” commenters can enjoy this one 🙂)
Dominicans are one of the least racially conscious people in the Americas. They don’t view the world through a racial framework like North Americans. Therefore, they don’t attach culture, identity, and social views to skin color.
For Dominicans to hate someone for having dark skin, they would need to first be racially conscious and second attach essentialism, stereotypes, behaviors, and traits to skin tones alone, which the average Dominican does not do.
Dominicans have one of the most beautiful examples of racial integration in the Americas, so much so that throughout Dominican history, between the 1700s and 1900s, foreigners visiting Santo Domingo/the Dominican Republic, including Black Americans (Douglass), were astonished to find no racial divisions or color identities among Dominicans.
This racial integration created a society that did not hyper-focus on racial identities and did not attach culture to skin tones. Dominicans developed a somehow united society, not perfect in itself, where skin-tone terms such as Moreno and Negro started to be used as words of endearment or nicknames for dark-skinned family members and friends.
In Dominican culture, the word Negro is not used as a racial/color identity like in the USA, but as a term of endearment if your partner has a darker skin tone than you.
Today, a lot of foreigners confuse the natural anti-Haitian imperialism that Dominicans developed toward their former occupiers and oppressors, the Haitians, with Dominicans hating Haitians solely for having dark skin or being Black. However, we do not see any animosity between Dominicans of different skin tones or races just for having different skin tones.
Dominicans continue to have a beautiful racial integration with no noticeable discrimination between each other based on their race or skin tone.
@charlieINTEL@PlaystationSize If it’s just the PS3 version via backwards compatibility, it means that my progress will carry over. Even better, that my original digital purchase of Black Ops 1 will be honored like the PS3 digital purchases of PS1/PS2/PSP classics (but it being Activision I highly doubt it).
It also groups together Oriental and Eastern Orthodox together again not the same religion and can not recieve Sacraments from each other. This thing is a mess truly made by an arrogant Calvinist who made sure there were multiple Protestant options grouped fairly well.
This is why the Pope officially made the move not to recognize her and crown Charlesmagne Emperor BTW. She was a new Jezabel and an evil woman. By Roman law a woman could not inherit and the Imperial throne was sedevacante. Charlesmagne had the land and the pedigree
@david_m_wagner@Tawadros15 I’ve never understood that custom among EO to sanctify rulers. Like the Greeks having Constantine XI as a saint or the Russians with Nicholas II.
Charlesmagne was descended from a line of Gallo-Roman Senators through his mother and from the Frankish Magister Militum of the West who had Senatorial rank.
@KennyPowers4250@apollynianisti What are you saying? The Catholic Franks stopped the Ummyad advance into Western Europe at Tours. Then the Spanish kingdoms kept pushing the Arabs back into Africa.
Had the Franks failed or the Reconquista crushed, the West would’ve fallen to the Muslims.
@apollynianisti@TheCross_ICXCN Then they got involved in importing silks through the Arabs and turning those into clothing to sell then they bought alum mines and started buying up rental properties. Their money never once had a thing to do with mythical stolen Greek gold.
@apollynianisti Modern Greece would not exist without significant material and financial support from the West and the British Royal Navy. Ungrateful people.
Catholics converted half the world and kicked out muslim invaders from spain, then discovered a way able to free europe from ottoman rule of the trade routes. without them significantly weakening the ottomans you would be speaking turkish and cleaning the shoes of a pasha
What is manifesting today in Belfast is the reaction of a population that perceives the character of its nation is being altered without its consent. When a people reaches the conviction that its heritage, its institutions, and its identity are at risk, opposition ceases to be a matter of politics and becomes a matter of destiny.
@SerenoRosa1 Curiosamente, quien propagó la idea de que la autoridad Romana en occidente había desaparecido, fue Justiniano para justificar su campaña en Italia.
Las naciones no son meras líneas sobre un mapa. Son organismos vivos, forjados por la historia, el sacrificio y la continuidad de un pueblo a través de las generaciones.
Irlanda conoció esta verdad cuando fue dividida entre norte y sur, entre protestantes y católicos, en una disputa que consumió décadas de conflicto. Sin embargo, el curso de la historia raramente permanece fijado en antiguas querellas. Nuevas fuerzas surgen. Nuevos desafíos reemplazan a los viejos.
Lo que hoy se manifiesta en Belfast trasciende las divisiones del pasado. Es la reacción de una población que percibe que el carácter de su nación está siendo alterado sin su consentimiento. Cuando un pueblo llega a la convicción de que su herencia, sus instituciones y su identidad están en riesgo, la oposición deja de ser una cuestión de política y se convierte en una cuestión de destino.
Belfast no debe contemplarse como un hecho aislado. Es un síntoma de una corriente más profunda que atraviesa Europa. Las mismas inquietudes, las mismas tensiones y las mismas preguntas emergen en todo el continente.
La historia enseña que ninguna élite, por poderosa que sea, puede gobernar indefinidamente en contradicción con los instintos fundamentales de los pueblos que pretende dirigir. Cuando la distancia entre gobernantes y gobernados se vuelve demasiado grande, la reacción se vuelve inevitable.
