[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

The doors are open — iPhone and Android.

Every blocker says no. Catholic DeVice doesn't: mark your vice apps, and opening one meets a real prayer — a quiet delay, then Amen, and it opens.

The scroll becomes the day's prayer.

Nobody said they recount the saying. The argument is about one word, petros. John 1:42 gives you its Aramaic original and glosses it: Kephas, translated Petros. Paul uses Kephas eight times. Mt 16:18 is the origin of that name. So the word your argument depends on is attested in Aramaic, by the NT itself, in the one place a naming is recorded. You don't need a parallel transcript to know what Simon was called. You need the name, and you have it

@InLumineDomini The ideal is right and almost no one will do it. St. Kolbe didn't refuse the radio; he put it to work for Our Lady. A phone that won't open Instagram until you've said a decade is a phone put to work. That's the version of 'do both' that holds. Thats our app thesis anyway

@marcxgajeton @TaylorRMarshall So you'll read Matthew alongside a Greek lexicon, but not alongside John or Paul, who tell you what Simon was actually called... So much for sola scriptura.

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

The decisive text is John 1:42. The Greek gospel itself says: 'You shall be called Kephas, which is translated Petros.' The name was given in Aramaic; Petros is the translation. As for whether those specific words were spoken in Aramaic rather than Greek: that's the consensus of nearly all scholars, Protestant included. If you want to assert Jesus spoke Greek to his Galilean disciples in private at Caesarea Philippi, the burden of proof is yours

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

@marcxgajeton @TaylorRMarshall Right. Do it in the language the words were spoken in

@AleppoAteMyFace Another nicnac success story

@2scary4burberry @WalmartThomist Gary Michuta's 'Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger' walks the councils in order. Start there and the fallacies sort themselves.

Know of my prayers for your discernment. God bless.

Didn't Dr. Brant Pitre write a book that ended his career?

The eyes adjusting is the whole lesson. The nave doesn't get brighter.
Most of us now spend the day in the opposite building: everything lit at once, nothing ordered, the eye never made to wait.
That's what Catholic DeVice is for. A prayer stands between you and the app. Then your eyes adjust

@TaylorRMarshall @Bug_Hall @Catholicizm1 Both are the same guy: managing a wife instead of leading a household.

The sitcom format needs men passive bc a man who lays his life down isn't a punchline

@stashu394 @Catholicizm1 10 for YouTube, 1 for Locals

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

@Catholicizm1 @stashu394 This is the exact problem I built Catholic DeVice for. The praywall makes you say a Hail Mary before YouTube opens. You'll still hate-watch Delony, but at least Our Lady gets a decade out of it.

@JoshuaTCharles God routes it that way Himself. Job 42:8 — He sends Eliphaz to have Job pray for him: "his face I will accept." Asking a friend to pray was never an objection until the friend was in heaven. The difference was never about prayer — it's what one thinks the Body of Christ is.

@Pontifex_ln Technica innovatione caritate recta - innovation set right by charity. It's the test for everything on a phone, not only AI: ministra, non aemula. Does it serve you, or compete with you for your own attention?

@catholiccom Congratulations! 1,500 people choosing the long read over the scroll is its own small apologetic

@BishopBarron Instaurare omnia in Christo - to restore all things in Christ. Personal motto of Pope St. Pius X. He meant it in the small: daily Communion, children at the rail at seven, grace in the middle of ordinary life, not its edges. That now includes the phones in our pockets
