@WalmartThomist The ark signifies the Church Militant, not the Church in general. This is the same reason why the dead saints (eg Adam) were not in the ark, they signified the part of the Church Triumphant or Sorrowing.
@ContraMolinism@Thomisticae This is against the clear teaching of Scripture in John 4, for to say that God is spirit is nothing other than to name a faculty, and it is significant that Christ did not say God is truth in this place, although it would equally justify why we must worship in spirit and truth.
@FeserEdward Furthermore, those who urge peace as an opposite to war ought to tremble within their mind lest they be convicted by the words of Jeremias and Ezekiel: "they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is no peace."
@FeserEdward It is transparent that you don't mean the same thing as Pope Leo and neither of you mean the same thing as Pope Nicholas who urged kings to wage wars of aggression under pain of sin. S Peter did not belittle the office of judgment but only rebuked them that they killed the Lord.
@RomanoSace57080 What Spirago says about Saturday is exactly backwards: the Saturday fast was practiced in those places with few Jews (the west), and was forbidden in those places with many Jews, since any Sabbath observance was an occasion of sin for them. It's better per se to fast on Saturday.

@Guerriero_13 This is not about propositions of the magisterium, but propositions in general. As the CCC says (2478): To avoid rash judgment, everyone should be careful to
interpret insofar as possible his neighbor’s thoughts, words, and deeds in a favorable way
