@benedictus_9 This has to be parody. 😂

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@thecowpill @benedictus_9 Our local ICKSP parish has a terrific Indian priest.

I think he may need to look outside Catholicism if he wants to join an all-white Christian community.

@calvinrobinson Imagine looking down on the Novus Ordo—a valid Catholic Mass—while performing an invalid imitation of the Traditional Latin Mass yourself.

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@calvinrobinson From what I understand, you are not a true Catholic priest, and I would be lying if I claimed that you were. To be a Catholic priest, you must receive valid ordination within the apostolic succession handed down from the Apostles, beginning with St. Peter.

@TheBrancaShow Your name is Andrew. 😂 That’s not exactly an “American” name—it has Greek/Jewish roots. Maybe consider changing it to something like Hunter or Tucker first.

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@pat_511 @TheBrancaShow @grok Is this true?

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@Bharatkaputre @Mister_mister_h @afoidance You make no sense. I hope you take the time to do some actual reading on the subject, especially since you seem to have an interest in it. Christianity in India is as old as Christianity in Europe. Reality may hurt your feelings, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@Bharatkaputre @Mister_mister_h @afoidance Sure. 😂

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

😂 St. Thomas never went to Mangalore or Goa. The Christians in Mangalore are mostly from Portuguese-era conversions. They’re not the same as the St. Thomas Christians from Kerala and Tamil Nadu. These are two completely separate groups that have their own unique histories that don’t overlap with each other.

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@Bharatkaputre @Mister_mister_h @afoidance You have obviously not read the Acts of St. Thomas. 😂

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@Bharatkaputre @Mister_mister_h @afoidance There are tons of early literary sources. Which ones have you read? The writings of Cosmas Indicopleustes? The earliest written evidence of the Syro-Malabar Rite? The Acts of St. Thomas?

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

The Portuguese arrived much later. My husband is from Mangalore, so I’m well aware of his family’s roots and the history of Christianity in that tiny part of India. I’m specifically referring to the larger Christian communities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where St. Thomas the Apostle evangelised. That dates back to the 1st century – around 52 AD. Please do some basic reading on the subject.

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@Bharatkaputre @Mister_mister_h @afoidance Christianity reached India in the 1st century, around the same time it reached Europe. That said, India has the some of the most ancient Catholic liturgical traditions like the Syro-Malabar Rite in Kerala that predates even the Roman Rite!

@RedWallPleb @PolitlcsUK @RishiSunak Indians have ancestry from several different populations, so there isn’t one single “Indian” ethnicity or race.
They’re predominantly Caucasians (this classification is outdated actually) mixed with at least three or four other populations, so there’s no such thing as “Indian.”

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

That’s a terribly flawed argument, because the Indians who come to the U.S. aren’t representative of the average person in India. That’s like saying MIT graduates are representative of the average American. We both know that that’s not true. Most of the Indians who come here for their Masters and PhDs graduated from an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), which are incredibly selective – even more selective than MIT and Harvard. The CEOs of Google, Abode, and FedEx went to an IIT, for example. Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft) went to Manipal Institute of Technology, which is one tier lower than an IIT. These people are basically a very small, HIGHLY accomplished slice of the population.

@Fr0mAshesRise @ChickenBoys69 @bethanyshondark @grok @grok Which ethnic group has the highest median household income in the U.S.?

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@Fr0mAshesRise @ChickenBoys69 @bethanyshondark @grok @grok How much does the 1.5% of people of Indian ethnicity contribute in U.S. income taxes?

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@ChickenBoys69 @bethanyshondark @grok What percentage of the American population is of Indian ethnicity?

[Rebecca 🇻🇦 @BeckDavis]

@naveenat30 @gorakkh You’re missing the most important part where the crucifixion was followed by the resurrection. Maybe finish the story before celebrating the “gotcha.” 😌
