“The real test is this. Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, (1/x)
This little Christian is in the hospital. He's stable but in a coma and in uncertain condition. He needs your prayers, and so do his parents.

@ThomasBlaek@redeemed_zoomer What gives you the authority to determine whether or not it was heresy? Especially when it was something a pope taught? Why is it that my ability to interpret Scripture without the pope forcing me to agree with him is bad, but you can do just that with councils and the papacy?
@ThomasBlaek@redeemed_zoomer I’m not asking about his personal decisions, I’m asking what gives you the authority to reject the cardinals’ choice of Angrlo Giuseppe Roncalli to be Pope John XXIII
@ThomasBlaek@redeemed_zoomer So you personally have the ability to supersede the decision of the cardinals? Wow! In that case, I bet you could probably make me pope; I bet having the papacy could get me some nice discounts at Taco Bell!
@hhhh94986893229@redeemed_zoomer@LysFlosCampi It’s far more than just “cute” that we have THE Simon Peter, while you have a guy call himself peter and because he calls himself peter “everything he says is true but only when he says it a certain way but actually no it’s always but actually yes but actually but actually but”
@hhhh94986893229@redeemed_zoomer@LysFlosCampi Yes. Part of the Catholic Church which we today call Protestantism. He was NOT, however, part of the papist church, which is not catholic at all.
@hhhh94986893229@redeemed_zoomer@LysFlosCampi I guess if you wanna go back farther, we do have the aura of Patrick, Athenasius, Augustine, Irenaeus, Paul, Peter, Mary, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abendago, Elisha, Elijah, David, Samuel, Moses, Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, Noah, Enoch, and of course our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
