I’m asking for prayers for our 32-yr-old pregnant daughter who suffered a stroke from clots in the brain a week ago. It has been a very difficult week of ups and downs, but mostly downs.
Last night her brain was swelling again, clots were reforming and getting bigger and bleeding was increasing, so they took her in for a second surgery to remove the clots, which was a successful surgery. But then her brain started swelling too much overnight so they made the decision to remove the left half of her skull to give her brain room to expand. Now it’s a waiting game.
Our Kaylie has a 2 1/2 yr old daughter at home who loves her mommy very much. Plus, I can’t imagine life without my eldest daughter, whom I love more than words can express. We believe in the power of prayer, so please join us in asking our Heavenly Father for the brain swelling to go down, for the clots and bleeding to stop and for Kaylie to wake up and recover fully.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@StefanAsbom@CatholicArena You know us Catholics don’t think he’s a like a superhero who can fix everything, right? He’s important because of what God called Him to do and the Throne that he sits on. He has authority over the whole earth that the modern world has thrown out the window.
@NewAntiquarian_@Catholicizm1 He’s only affirming what the Church holds which is Mary’s Perpetual Virginity. And the Church has very good reasons. It is the truth - Mary is a Perpetual Virgin and that is a beautiful thing. Also how would it be detraction? Because the modern world is so mentally warped?
As a scholar of medieval theology I would advise against using this translation. I certainly would not permit my theology students to use it in any capacity.
In the “About” section of the website, which was clearly AI-generated, it explains that the translation was produced by AI. If credentialed scholars reviewed and corrected the translation, it *might* be acceptable. But no such scholars were mentioned in that (or any other) capacity. At least, not that I could see.
I completely agree. It seems that a lot of American Catholicism seems to have been intellectual for a long time, ie Orestes Brownson, guys like Cardinal Dulles, the once great Catholic Universities, up through now, which is cool and I love it, and all the cultural stuff was preserved with the Irish, Italian, Polish, Mexicans, etc. Now that those are diminished, I genuinely wonder what American Catholic culture can look like. It has to be organic, and I agree, it has to be local. The greatest example in my opinion is Notre Dame football lol
