The Catholic Church is The One True Church of Jesus Christ: built upon Peter as the Rock. Defending Truth since 33 AD. ✝️ 🇻🇦

TO REBEL AGAINST ROME IS TO REBEL AGAINST CHRIST

INTRODUCTION:

In an age that questions authority and glorifies individualism, defying the authority Christ established through the See of Peter endangers the soul.
St. Optatus, a 4th-century Church Father, warned:
“Anyone who set up another see against this one see [Rome] would be a schismatic and a sinner.” (Against the Donatists, Book 2, §2)
To oppose the Roman Pontiff knowingly and willfully is to tear at the seamless garment of Christ (cf. John 19:23–24). It is spiritual suicide.

SECTION I: The Donatist Rebellion and Optatus’s Defense of Rome
In the 4th century, the Donatists split from the Catholic Church in North Africa, rejecting valid sacraments and setting up a rival hierarchy against Rome.
St. Optatus condemned this schism:
“The first episcopal see was set up in Rome, which was occupied by Peter, the head of all the Apostles… so that in this one see unity might be preserved by all.”
Peter received primacy to safeguard unity. Schism is a grave rupture from Christ’s Body.

SECTION II: The Biblical Mandate for Unity Under Peter
Christ established the Roman See on divine authority:
•Matthew 16:18–19: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church… I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.”
•Luke 22:32: “I have prayed for you, Peter, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brethren.”
•John 21:15–17: “Feed my lambs… Tend my sheep… Feed my sheep.”
Rejecting this visible shepherd rejects Christ’s plan for His Church.

SECTION III: The Theological Gravity of Schism
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (§2089) defines schism as “the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.”
Scripture warns:
•1 Corinthians 1:10–13: “Is Christ divided?”
•Romans 16:17: “Watch out for those who cause divisions… Keep away from them.”
Schism dismembers Christ’s Mystical Body and, if unrepented, endangers the soul.

SECTION IV: Historical Examples
•Novatianists (3rd century): Denied forgiveness for the lapsed; excommunicated for rejecting Rome.
•Donatists (4th century): Created a parallel Church, condemned by Optatus.
•Eastern Schism (1054): Refusal of papal authority caused lasting division.
•Protestant Revolt (16th century): Luther and others rejected papal primacy.
No justification sanctifies separation from the See of Peter.

SECTION V: Modern Dangers and Catholic Complacency
Today, subtle schism grows through open defiance of papal teaching, “traditionalist” or “progressive” movements flirting with separation, doctrinal dissent, or sedevacantism.
Scripture commands:
•Titus 3:10: “After admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him.”
•Hebrews 13:17: “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls.”
Public criticism that undermines the Pope while claiming loyalty to Christ is false. There is no loyalty to Christ without obedience to His Vicar.

SECTION VI: The Road Back from Rebellion
Schism is grave, yet the Church offers mercy to the repentant:
•John 17:21: “That they may all be one…”
•2 Corinthians 5:20: “Be reconciled to God.”
•James 5:19–20: “Whoever brings back a sinner… will save his soul from death.”
Return to Peter, and you return to Christ. Reject Peter, and you reject the Shepherd who chose him.

CONCLUSION: The One Chair of Unity or the Many Thrones of Pride
St. Optatus warned that setting up another see makes one a schismatic and sinner — a teaching for every age.
In a fragmented world of self-styled doctrines, the Rock of Peter remains the visible center of unity. The Pope is not optional to Catholicism; communion with him is essential.
“He who hears you, hears me; he who rejects you, rejects me.” – Luke 10:16
To be truly Catholic is to remain in communion with the Successor of Peter. Anything else is rebellion against Christ.

Revelation 12:1 — “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”

The woman is Mary (mother of the male child who rules the nations — v. 5).
She is already in heaven, body and soul.

Right before that, Rev 11:19 shows the Ark of the Covenant in heaven — and every Church Father knew Mary is the new Ark who carried God Himself.

Enoch (Gen 5:24) and Elijah (2 Kings 2:11) were assumed bodily into heaven.
The Mother of God gets less?

The early Church believed this from the beginning.
No tomb of Mary has EVER existed.

The dogma of the Assumption is the infallible teaching of the One True Church founded by Christ.

Your move, SDA.

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

The woman of Revelation 12 is Mary, the new Ark of the Covenant already in heaven (Rev 11:19), who gave birth to the Messiah and then, in the vision’s symbolic language, flees to the wilderness—representing the Church’s divinely protected pilgrimage through persecution, not a literal 1,260-year vacation for Mary herself.

That “time, times, and half a time” is apocalyptic imagery for the entire age of the Church under trial, exactly as the Fathers understood it, not the 19th-century SDA year-day fantasy that turns prophecy into a calendar.

As for Rome sitting on seven hills, Scripture itself identifies the “great city” where the Lord was crucified as the harlot (Rev 11:8), which is Jerusalem—not Rome.

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

@EddieJamro84189 @carsonweber @picard_luk80656 Rev 12:1 is Mary — the Woman clothed with the sun, crowned with twelve stars, who births the ruler of nations (v.5).

Every Church Father saw this.
She’s in heaven, body & soul.

Scripture says the great city where the Lord was crucified (Rev 11:8) — Jerusalem — is the harlot.

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

Revelation 11:8 calls “the great city” where “their Lord was crucified” — Jerusalem — the unfaithful Israel that became the harlot drunk on the blood of prophets and saints (Rev 17:6; 18:24; Matt 23:37).

She sits on seven hills?
Jerusalem has seven hills.
The Temple (where the “man of sin” sits, 2 Thess 2:4) was there, not Rome.

The Antichrist?
St. John said “many antichrists” already existed — those who deny the Father and the Son (1 Jn 2:18-22).
That’s the spirit of Judaism that rejected Christ, not Peter’s successors.

The Catholic Church is the New Israel, the Bride clothed in fine linen
(Rev 19:7-8; Gal 6:16).

You twist prophecy to attack the Church Christ founded.
Your SDA 1800s fantasy fails.
The woman of Rev 12 is Mary

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

@EddieJamro84189 @MaryEDavis60 The church births a male child who is ruler of nations?
Where in scripture is this?

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

You challenged Catholics only for a verse proving Mary is in heaven.

I gave you Rev 12:1 — the Woman clothed with the sun, crowned with stars, who births the ruler of nations (v.5).

Every Church Father saw this as Mary, the new Ark (Rev 11:19).
Enoch & Elijah were assumed; the Mother of God wasn’t?

Yet you won’t reply to me.
You only answer others that are replying to me.

That’s not debate — that’s admitting defeat because you have no argument..
Your SDA heresy collapses under Scripture.

A car thief tried to carjack a woman.

A TLM priest responded by tackling and punching him when the thief tried to run away after crashing the car.

Medieval Catholicism remains undefeated.

Based priest.

Two PETA activists tried to protest the Pope today at the Vatican. They were rapidly dealt with by Vatican Security and the Pontifical Swiss Guard.

[St. Thomas Aquinas @Aquinas_Quotes]

The male sex is nobler than the female sex. That is why Christ assumed human nature as a man. At the same time, so that the female sex would not be despised, it was fitting that He should take His flesh from a woman.

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

@acloudofsaints Fr. Commins in full cassock TACKLING the thief like a boss? Absolute legend.

[Fr Joseph Hudson @acloudofsaints]

A man crashed a stolen car outside St. Joseph Shrine. Then he bolted.

The Rector heard the crash and someone yelled "stop him."

So Rev. Jean-Baptiste Commins — in full cassock — tackled him, and held him until the police came.

Never underestimate a priest in a cassock.

Lord, give us the zeal with which your Sacred Heart burns; give us also a profound humility that makes us always adhere to you more while we become detached from ourselves; give us the meekness that will make souls accept what we say to them for the glory of your Father and for their own salvation. Grant us a more intimate union with your Sacred Heart present in the Eucharist, and guide us toward that wholly divine configuration that will make us your brothers and sisters for eternity.

“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Cor 5:8)

At death the soul separates from the body. For the righteous, it is immediately and consciously with Christ in heaven, awaiting the resurrection of the body.

“Sleep” in Scripture refers to the body resting in the grave—not soul unconsciousness.

The saints in heaven are alive and intercede for us (Rev 5:8; Heb 12:22-23).

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

No, Mary was not a sinner like us.

The angel Gabriel greeted her with a unique title: “Hail, full of grace” (Lk 1:28)—kecharitomene, a perfect passive participle showing she was filled with God’s grace from the first moment of her existence, preserved from original sin in view of Christ’s redemption.

She rejoiced in “God my Savior” (Lk 1:47) precisely because He saved her perfectly.
Scripture itself declares: “all generations will call me blessed” (Lk 1:48).

The Church calls her holy—the Theotokos, Mother of God, ever-virgin—not because she is divine, but because God made her so. She points us to Jesus: “Do whatever he tells you” (Jn 2:5).

Asking Mary and the saints to pray for us is not worship or a “commandment” we invented.
It is biblical intercession within the communion of saints (Rev 5:8; Heb 12:22-23). We honor her with hyperdulia; we worship God alone. Far from rivaling Christ, she magnifies Him.

[One True Church🇻🇦 @1TrueChurch]

The Church was already Catholic—universal, apostolic, with bishops, Eucharist, and Tradition—for 300 years before Constantine (see Ignatius of Antioch, ~107 AD).

Constantine ended savage persecutions via the Edict of Milan (313), protected the faith, and called Nicaea (325) so bishops could affirm the eternal divinity of Christ against Arian heresy.
