@JamesDueck A few hundred thousand people per year joining the church. A hundred thousand reverting per year on net. A little bit of a higher birthrate. It won't be a generation, but the US could very well be majority Catholic by 2100.
@rockreborn22@BishopJaxi I am using a word that was also used in Middle English and has been used continuously since then in the same sense. People ask for intercession from other people in the Bible. Paul asks Timothy for intercession. Catholics do the same thing with the whole living Body of Christ.
@WhaleInsider They want to discourage kids from going to college because their youth unemployment is through the roof. Kids get a degree and can't find work because they demand workers rights once they have a degree.
@GBPolitcs The kids are going to turn Bluesky into 4chan and overwhelm the censors. It will drive away all the lefties for months until the platform completely collapses.
@rockreborn22@BishopJaxi Which is why we as Catholics keep the distinction in the meaning. It is low IQ for you to equivocate and collapse them into one meaning when arguing with people who keep the distinction.
@rockreborn22@BishopJaxi Biblically, 'pray' is both communication with God and a request made to another person. Catholics keep the historical distinction. You remove the second category. If you do not keep the distinction and accuse Catholics of deifying saints, then you are equivocating by definition.
@Scuttlest48@BishopJaxi That is exactly what protestants do to Catholics when they accuse Catholics of saint worship. There are two distinct meanings of the word 'pray', but protestants collapse it to one meaning. The Bible (KJV & Douay-Rheims) uses the word 'pray' in both senses that Catholics use it.
@rockreborn22@BishopJaxi Catholics do not shift the meaning midstream. They keep two distinct meanings. Protestants do the opposite. They know there are two distinct meanings, but they collapse them into one to feign misunderstanding. They equivocate when accusing Catholics of saint worship.
@BishopJaxi It is amazing to see protestants accuse you of equivocation. Catholics maintain two distinct historical meanings of the word and use them properly. Many protestants are guilty of equivocation because they know the two definitions of the word, but they collapse both to 'worship'.
@EvidenceOfFaith Reciting scripture, asking someone to pray for us, glorifying God, and meditating on the life of Christ are all Biblical and apostolic. Combing them into one exercise does not change that fact.
@LUFC1992_v2 The recent national average for June is about $3.70 (inflation adjusted) for the last 10 years or so.
$3.27 is a little lower than average for June.
@starsnstripesfc No one cares about football. It's an incredibly boring sport unless you're in the stadium. We'll still use the world cup as an excuse to have fun and hang out with our friends.
@SkylarSkye3 Poor people, Blacks, and Hispanics have high obesity rates. Middle and upper class White people are similar to the UK, Ireland, and much of Eastern Europe.
@DAKKADAKKA1 The reinvented shotgun homes from 1890s New Orleans except they made them uglier and stuck a driveway in front. Parking and trash pickup should be in a back alley.
