Breaking: Pope Leo XIV tells states that Catholic Colleges and Universities must teach "sound doctrine" and that it is not enough to teach intellectual truths but they must teach the "Truth that is Christ."
THE CHURCH FATHER WHO WROTE THIS IN 107 AD AND IT SILENCES EVERY PROTESTANT ARGUMENT
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of the Apostle John. He was arrested and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions.
On the way, he wrote seven letters. In 107 AD, within living memory of the Apostles, he wrote:
“Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:2)
This is the first recorded use of the term “Catholic Church” and it comes from a man who personally knew the Apostle who leaned on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper.
He also wrote:
“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Catholic Church by name. Obedience to bishops in apostolic succession.
107 AD. Not the Council of Trent. Not the Middle Ages.
The next time someone tells you the Catholic Church invented these doctrines centuries later, show them Ignatius.
He wrote this on the way to die for it.
Who will share this?
“St. Robert Bellarmine, debating a Protestant on the Eucharist: “Let me just get this straight: YOU say, ‘This is NOT Jesus’ Body & Blood’. Jesus said, ‘This IS My Body & Blood’. If you were me, who do YOU think I should believe?”
St. Joseph the Worker
In 1955, Pope Pius XII proclaimed May 1st as the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker to counter act the Communist May Day celebrations.
>ISIS vowed to behead him in Mosul
>Flew to Mosul anyway, sat in the exact spot where they said they would kill him
>Called out pornography as "a Language of the Devil"
>Told couples to have more children and fewer pets
>Said "No" when asked about to female clergy
>Hated by the people in the files
Aura. What else did Pope Francis do in his time that is worthy of this list?
Western Mass Media is extraordinarily effective in fostering in the general public enormous sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel.
– Fr. Robert Prevost
Mocking the Pope while reading a Bible canonized by the Catholic Church is ignorance and delusion.
Protestantism took the Church’s Bible, rejected the Church’s authority, and fractured into thousands of man-made interpretations.
That’s what happens when everyone becomes their own Pope.
You’re not funny @TheBabylonBee
Auburn’s Board of Trustees has approved a $323 million multipurpose center at the north end of Jordan-Hare Stadium, with a goal of completing the project by 2029.
@RedWavePress Jesus was not crucified because he claimed to be the Messiah. He was crucified because he called himself God! It was not blasphemous to claim to be the messiah. But to a 1st century Jew, to claim to be God was. Hence, why he was crucified. Jesus is the messiah, and he is God!
