Due to cost and reliability, while I never left Locals, I am restoring them as my primary publishing platform. My articles are below.

Honestly, this is an incredibly convincing argument for converting 72% of women to Catholicism.

@Ruesavatar I don’t know if “I love sucking dick” is the most convincing argument against Catholicism

@metathomist @Ruesavatar Once saved always saved, bro. All they have to do is say they believe in Jesus and then they can do what they want.

@Joeinblack This "woman" allegedly trying to understand pro-life stances on this is like Satan try to understand why Jesus would become human.

@_carmen_dioxide I actually don't use it. That's the funny part.

@_carmen_dioxide @Rebecca66839144 @ImagerybyCharly No, their lives aren't equally valuable to YOU.

Just because one rejoices in having a healthy baby, because of course a normal person would, one does not devalue someone with a disability. That life is equally as precious.

@_carmen_dioxide You don't know what retard means. While used to describe mental illness, that is not the exclusive meaning.

You can totally be a retard without having a physical or mental abnormality.

Thank you for the demonstration.

.@Aztecross I think you should start a campaign: everyone loads into the game on June 9 with Telesto already equipped!!

I had no idea Marty O'Donnell had his own show.

Bro, look....

This is awesome. lol

These are the true core questions the Catholic Church must address. Not the silly theological and doctrine issues with their faith. You know I'm right @Di_bear.

[🐻 Di bear (Diane) @Di_bear]

I think a lot of people struggle with the fact that everything is a gift because it means they're not in control. It requires you to surrender to God in ways that take a lot of discernment and prayer, and you don't really understand this concept until you're getting deeper into it.

@Kida_Ito77 @TheMuppetPastor @avine26 There will always be manipulation until this world is done. The devil corrupts everything. That's why Christians have a responsibility to understand scripture and tradition so they can test the spirits.

You don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

You know Catholicism is not cessationist, right; so it's interesting you chose Catholic saints? The Church teaches the charismatic gifts and continues to recognize miracles (regarding the charismatic movement, every movement has bad actors, but that doesn't meant the movement is bad).

None of the canonized saints you cited would be canonized if great miracles weren't associated with them. Both Augustine and Aquinas performed miracles in their lifetimes, and nothing about St. Paul's writings supports cessationism. Most recently, we are seeing Bishop Fulton Sheen move along the process of canonization because a resurrection occurred 60 minutes after a baby died, and that kid is now a normal teenager.

Among faithful Catholics, healing and prophecy (a term that is not fully understood by most, and not restricted to the dramatic prophecies of the Bible or the divine private revelations of the mystics) are not unusual at all. Catholics are instructed to test everything against Scripture and Tradition to avoid the traps of the devil.

Regarding your Augustine quote, I don't think that means what you think it means. Don't confuse his articulation of other's arguments and questions as his own. He always does this before he makes his point. Augustine is pointing out that, when you receive the sacrament of Confirmation, just because you don't break into tongues as on the day of Pentecost, that doesn't mean you haven't received the Holy Spirit. I don't believe tongues is all that common, nor does everyone want it, and God tends to not force His gifts on people.

Regarding relics - no relic has special powers. Holy relics that miracles are associated with are powerful because it's God's power that flows through them because, by showing this power through His saints, He is being further glorified in a way that causes unbelievers or those lukewarm in faith to take note and draw closer to Him.

To your other point, there is no God of cessationism. That is a misunderstanding that certain men have of God.

@Protestia There’s something magical about feeling secure in your sin. Sometimes it’s an outright lie from another. Other times is a false application of “once saved always saved”.

But humans absolutely LOVE to be made comfortable in their sins. That’s what Pride is all about.

@Thzapameko @LearningBill @XIVLeviathan Sony didn't buy Bungie for Destiny, but for their expertise in running live service games. They didn't buy them for the products, but the human capital.

[CatholicVote @CatholicVote]

A nationwide Catholic campaign is aiming for 50,000 Sacred Heart enthronements in homes, businesses, schools, and parishes before U.S. bishops formally consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11.

@CalvZynisT @Soft_AY1 lol

@troywojick @Soft_AY1 Who works through His priests, and the baptized are priests, just not necessarily ministerial priests.

@NateGreen44 It's not about that...

[🐻 Di bear (Diane) @Di_bear]

@KeithNester1 Wow. This is crazy news.
