@Brycethevet@MrCasey62 Augustine repeatedly rejected the charge that his doctrinal formulation of grace abolishes free will. In De gratia et libero arbitrio (On Grace and Free Will), he argues that grace establishes and heals free will rather than destroying it. Your conclusions are baseless.
@BishopJaxi James 1:2-4 says trials and tribulations make us complete, yet I’ve never seen a Protestant argue trials and tribulations are sufficient for salvation.
If she thinks Josh is bad, wait until she meets St. John Chrysostom: “You carry your snare everywhere and spread your nets in all places. You allege that you never invited others to sin. You did not, indeed, by your words, but you have done so by your dress and your deportment… When you have made another sin in his heart, how can you be innocent?… You have prepared the abominable cup, you have given the death-dealing drink, and you are more criminal than are those who poison the body; you murder not the body but the soul… out of foolish vanity and pride.”
@StCyrilLucaris@redeemed_zoomer Pretty wild to use a standard not found in scripture to support the claim that scripture is the sole infallible authority.

@FrMatthewLC@BreeSolstad No need to clarify. Everyone without an agenda understood you meant 99% of people attending mass (which is the only way you can be fed by the mass - by attending).
@Elijah_Moree@poperespecter1 Wrong again. “Does not the Scripture say: ‘Burden not thyself above thy power’?” – Jerome, To Eustochium, Epistle 108 (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers 2, VI:207).
Here Saint Jerome quotes Sirach 13:2 (‘Burden not thyself above thy power’) as capital-S Scripture.
Hardly. “What sin have I committed if I followed the judgment of the churches? But he who brings charges against me for relating the objections that the Hebrews are wont to raise against the Story of Susanna, the Song of the Three Children, and the story of Bel and the Dragon, which are not found in the Hebrew volume, proves that he is just a foolish sycophant. For I was not relating my own personal views, but rather the remarks that they [the Jews] are wont to make against us.” Jerome, Against Rufinus, 11:33 [AD 402].
@rickbrennanjr In this post, a Protestant incorrectly identifies another Protestant as Catholic, and inadvertently shows a Protestant teaching a heresy that can only exist in the Protestant church. Absolute cinema.
