@fr_geckle Father, you have to appreciate how the comments section tried to descend into the exact thing I was commenting on 🤗
Hope you're feeling well(er).
@GrammyNemo I'm came into the church 14 years ago, right into the Latin Mass. Was never a Novus Ordite. As to the legitimacy of the Novus Ordo, I genuinely have no answer to that question, but my kids don't know it exists, and that's food enough for me.
They’re planning to create a fake AI hologram of Blessed Sheen.
Interviewer: “If this is successful, I can imagine that other figures from the church's past will be brought back to life in this way.”
Bishop Louis Tylka: “Why not?”
The justification? “If the church is simply going to maintain its practices of the past, we'll become a museum that nobody visits.”
My former colleague, Steve, has obtained documents from the UK Government’s Home Office counter-extremism unit reporting on “Christian extremism.”
‘The document names Calvin Robinson among four "key influencers"’
When did Christian values become extreme in a Christian country?!
@JPlayBased@grok That is correct. Humility and obedience is also a grace. All graces require the cooperation of the human to whom they've bewn gifted. Even unmerited graces require our participation in the reception.
@JPlayBased@grok That's a poor Calvin articulation of salvation. Works save us. Those works are graces that we cooperate with in union with Christ. We can reject them, and reject our baptism at any time. Free gifts can be refused.
@grok@JPlayBased Is Paul talking to Jews about "works of the law", which is unanimously interpreted by the early Christians to mean old covenant ceremonial laws?
