"The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.” - St. Pope Pius X, 1904

@Burgess7281975 Hail Full of Grace!

[Brian Burgess @Burgess7281975]

God chose the Blessed Virgin Mary as His Mother. There is nothing that you, Saint Epiphanius, and everyone else in history combined could do that would honor or venerate Mary to this extent.

But this is what Saint Epiphanius had to say about it:

Saint Epiphanius

“Mary, the holy Virgin, is truly great before God and men. For how shall we not proclaim her great, who held within her the uncontainable One, whom neither heaven nor earth can contain? (Panarion, 30, 31; Gambero, 127).

Also see:

(A) Saint Athanasius

. . . pure and unstained Virgin . . . (On the Incarnation of the Word, 8; Gambero, 102)
O noble Virgin, truly you are greater than any other greatness. For who is your equal in greatness, O dwelling place of God the Word? To whom among all creatures shall I compare you, O Virgin? You are greater than them all O Covenant, clothed with purity instead of gold! You are the Ark in which is found the golden vessel containing the true manna, that is, the flesh in which divinity resides. (Homily of the Papyrus of Turin, 71, 216; Gambero, 106)

(B) Saint Cyril of Jerusalem

Pure and spotless is this birth. For where the Holy Spirit breathes, all pollution is taken away, so that the human birth of the Only-begotten from the Virgin is undefiled. (Catechetical Lectures, XII, 31-32; Gambero, 140)

(C) Saint Gregory Nazianzen

He was conceived by the Virgin, who had first been purified by the Spirit in soul and body; for, as it was fitting that childbearing should receive its share of honor, so it was necessary that virginity should receive even greater honor. (Sermon 38, 13; Gambero, 162-163)

(D) Saint Gregory of Nyssa

It was, to divulge by the manner of His Incarnation this great secret; that purity is the only complete indication of the presence of God and of His coming, and that no one can in reality secure this for himself, unless he has altogether estranged himself from the passions of the flesh. What happened in the stainless Mary when the fulness of the Godhead which was in Christ shone out through her, that happens in every soul that leads by rule the virgin life. (On Virginity, 2; NPNF 2, Vol. V, 344)

(E) Saint Ambrose

. . . Mary, a Virgin not only undefiled but a Virgin whom grace has made inviolate, free of every stain of sin. (Commentary on Psalm 118, 22, 30; Jurgens, II, 166)
What is greater than the Mother of God? What more glorious than she whom Glory Itself chose? What more chaste than she who bore a body without contact with another body? (Virginity, II, 6; NPNF 2, Vol. X, 374)

Dios te salve, María,
llena eres de gracia;
el Señor es contigo.
Bendita Tú eres
entre todas las mujeres,
y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús.

Santa María, Madre de Dios,
ruega por nosotros, pecadores,
ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén 🙏

Wrong, wronger, wrongest. Respectfully, your comment misunderstands Theology and seems little more than postmodern epistemological solipsistic nihilism. Forgive me if I’m selling you short.

Faith exceeds reason. It does not contradict it.

Theology is the sacred science of God under the light of revelation and it most certainly rests on demonstrable first principles. Indeed, the essential first assumption of science, that effects have causes, is hardly demonstrable by the standard you have articulated.

Father Emmanuel Doronzo identifies three elements as criteria for something to be called a “true science.”

They are:

(1) “first, it must be the knowledge of an object through its cause, by a discursive process moving from principles to conclusions;”

(2) “second, it must be certain;” and

(3) “ third, it must be evident.”

By way of example, just like our modern materials science, Theology holds as a “first principle” or rooted axiom that causes have effects, etc.

Questions?

I went to mass and could not help but shed tears of gratitude. How on earth did I find the True Faith? Me, a heretic, a sworn heretic. The thing is, I didn't even know what the Catholic Faith was. And there I was, accepted by His Divine love, communing with Him and His sheep. Incredible.

CORPUS CHRISTI: THE FEAST THAT PROCLAIMS JESUS CHRIST IS TRULY PRESENT

Every year, Catholics throughout the world celebrate Corpus Christi, a solemnity dedicated to the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. To many observers, it appears to be a beautiful procession, a public act of devotion, or simply another feast on the Church calendar.

In reality, Corpus Christi is far more profound.

It is one of the Church’s strongest public declarations that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

Not symbolically.

Not metaphorically.

Not merely spiritually.

But truly, really, and substantially.

The Feast of Corpus Christi exists because the Church believes that what Jesus said at the Last Supper is literally true:

“This is my body.”

“This is my blood.”

(Matthew 26:26–28)

The entire celebration revolves around this astonishing claim.

If it is true, then every tabernacle in the world contains the greatest treasure on earth.

If it is true, then the Eucharist is not merely part of Catholic life.

It is the center of Catholic life.

THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF CORPUS CHRISTI

The roots of Corpus Christi begin in Sacred Scripture.

In John Chapter 6, Jesus delivers what is known as the Bread of Life Discourse.

He tells the crowd:

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven.”

(John 6:51)

Then He says something even more shocking:

“Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”

(John 6:53)

Many disciples found these words difficult.

Some left Him completely.

Scripture records:

“After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.”

(John 6:66)

This moment is significant.

When Jesus spoke metaphorically elsewhere, He clarified misunderstandings.

Here He did not.

Instead, He repeated the teaching with even greater force.

The Greek text becomes increasingly literal, using a verb that means “to chew” or “to gnaw.”

The early Christians understood these words literally.

The Eucharist became the center of Christian worship from the very beginning.

WHAT THE EARLY CHURCH BELIEVED

One of the strongest arguments for the Real Presence comes from Christian history.

The earliest generations of Christians, those closest to the Apostles themselves, consistently taught belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist.

Around A.D. 107, Saint Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of Saint John the Apostle, wrote:

“The Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”

This statement was written decades before the New Testament canon was formally established.

Around A.D. 155, Saint Justin Martyr explained Christian worship to the Roman Emperor.

He wrote that the Eucharistic bread and wine were not received as ordinary food and drink but as the flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus Christ.

These testimonies are historically important because they demonstrate that belief in the Real Presence was not a medieval invention.

It was the faith of the earliest Christians.

@Burgess7281975 I don't think Protestants know what "hypostatic union" means. And "ever-virgin" ... I think they might know what that means, maybe.

Good morning Rick,

(1) Let’s be clear about the posture of things. I was not out there “litmus testing” random people who imagine they are professing Christ on Xwitter. I was responding specifically to a man who, to use your characterization, “trolled” a prior tweet of mine insisting that Mary was not the Mother of God.

Having the opportunity to do it over again I would note the error conspicuously so that no one was misled.

(2) Regarding your characterization of the Trinity in the context of the Hypostatic Union I would like to clear something up.

You say:

“Because the external works of the Trinity are inseparable, the incarnation is the work of the one triune God. Yet it is personally appropriated to the Son, because the Son alone became incarnate. The Father did not become flesh. The Spirit did not become flesh. The eternal Son assumed our humanity and is one person in two natures, fully God and fully man.”

Some comments:

(A) The Persons of the Trinity are not “works” or somehow derivative of a singular Triune God who is a separate being. The Trinity is a Supernatural relation; not a distinct identity or person.

Each Person of the Trinity is Fully God. The Father is Consubstantial with the Son is Consubstantial with the Holy Ghost.

And while the God Whom Mary is the Mother of is a Distinct Person He is the same God as the Father in Essence or Substance.

Affording the Blessed Virgin Mary her due Canonical Title as the Mother of God does neither risks dividing the singular Substance nor confounding the distinct Persons of God.

(B) The Council of Ephesus, Council of Chalcedon, and Second Council of Ephesus (not to mention Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture) do not Title the Blessed Virgin Mary “the Mother of God with an asterisk” or the “Mother of God but subject to whatever clarifications separated brethren need to feel ok about it.”

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. Period.

The Second Council of Constantinople (A.D. 553) even goes as far to say:

““If anyone declares that it can be only inexactly and not truly said that the holy and glorious ever-virgin Mary is the mother of God, or says that she is so only in some relative sense . . . let him be anathema.”

https://t.co/1jGxIqm8i8

(3) Denial of Marian Dogma is Heresy. Obstinate and knowing denial is Formal Heresy while ignorant denial is Material Heresy.

Heresy separates one from the Body of Christ. This is a big problem; not theological triviality.

Perhaps those imagining they are professing Christian Doctrine should take the time to understand it before they argue.

Hold up Rick, I didn’t troll anyone. I reacted to the following post pictured below where a guy who trolled me said “God has no parents.”

What does that have to do with protestants being heretics? I have no idea if this guy identifies as “protestant.”

And why do you repeat the same erroneous talking point that the Council of Ephesus (or the Council of Chalcedon or Second Council of Constantinople) was not Marian?

Christology and Mariology are part of the same coin.

The Council of Ephesus was called in large part because the Archbishop of Constantinople refused to acknowledge the Blessed Virgin Mary as “Mother of God” but only “Mother of Christ.”

The very first Anathema it proposed was:

1. If anyone does not confess that Emmanuel is God in truth, and therefore that the holy virgin is the mother of God, for she bore in a fleshly way the Word of God become flesh, let him be anathema.

[Arcivescovo Carlo Maria Viganò @CarloMVigano]

Con Giovanni XXIII e in particolare con Nostra Ætate abbiamo assistito alla giudaizzazione del Cattolicesimo Romano, come già era avvenuto in ambito protestante.

Non sorprende che la nuova Prefetta del Dicastero per la Comunicazione, Maria Montserrat Alvarado (laica e femminista) sia legata ad un'organizzazione sionista cristiana, sostenga che il Vangelo non sia destinato agli ebrei e che questi non abbiano bisogno di convertirsi al Cattolicesimo per la loro salvezza.

A sostegno di questa eresia, la Prefetta si rifà a Jorge Bergoglio, il quale in conformità con Nostra Ætate e con i predecessori Wojtyla e Ratzinger, sosteneva che la conversione dei "fratelli maggiori" non è necessaria.

Con la sua nomina Prevost prosegue sulla linea di Bergoglio nella demolizione degli organi centrali della Curia Romana, nella secolarizzazione del governo della Chiesa e nel sovvertimento della Dottrina Cattolica.
