@WalmartThomist Unironically I know some good faithful Catholics at ASU

[🇻🇦 Anglo Franco ❤️‍🔥 @Gramkorps]

@BaptistCromwell @Aelthemplaer Then why does the canon being settled (by the early Catholic Church) make you confident in the accuracy of that canon?

[🇻🇦 Anglo Franco ❤️‍🔥 @Gramkorps]

@BaptistCromwell @Aelthemplaer How not? How can we trust the Church Fathers on such an important question as what books are inspired by God, but not on other doctrinal issues?

[🇻🇦 Anglo Franco ❤️‍🔥 @Gramkorps]

@Aelthemplaer I think he will abstain due to his office

[🇻🇦 Anglo Franco ❤️‍🔥 @Gramkorps]

@BaptistCromwell @Aelthemplaer While yes the majority of the scriptures were widely agreed upon, using this as an argument concedes that sacred tradition has tangible authority.

[🇻🇦 Anglo Franco ❤️‍🔥 @Gramkorps]

@Protespedia @CapturingChrist @needGod_net Inspired by God, yes. But the Catholic Church compiled them together and declared what books would not be included.

Is sodomy a sign of the Church’s “self-destruction”?

Yes, as Pope Paul VI declared in one of his most outspoken denunciations of homosexuality. In context, he is speaking of the immoral practices among professed Catholics who are defending homosexuality:

“The Church finds herself in an hour of disquiet, of self-criticism, one might even say of self-destruction. It is like an acute and complex interior upheaval, which no one expected after the Council. One thought of a blossoming, a serene expansion of the mature concepts of the Council. The Church still has this aspect of blossoming. But since “bonum ex integra causa, malum ex quocumque defectu,” the aspect of sorrow has become most notable. The Church is also being wounded by those who are part of her” (Allocution to the students of the Lombard Seminary, Dec. 7, 1968).

The Catholic lack of community and evangelization on a practical level is so shockingly bad and it puts millions in danger of absorption by Protestants. I don’t even know what can be done about it practically.

@CLOSEUP99166977 @LifeSite @CionciAndrea By your logic how was Benedict XVI an invalid pope?

[adrian @SipsWithSerra]

In the Martyrdom of Polycarp, it is said that St. Polycarp's bones were collected by Christians and treated as if they were gold. These were people who learned the faith from St. Polycarp, who learned the faith from the apostles themselves, and this was not an uncommon practice. Early churches often built their altars on top of the bones of saints. The scriptures are full of examples of the bones of holy people, as well as objects touched by them, having the power to deliver graces and miracles.

Things Not to Do in a Homily: Historical-Critical Speculation

A homilist should not present disputed scholarly theories as settled facts. “Isaiah was really three authors” is a theory, not something the congregation simply needs to be told.

A homilist should not raise questions he has no time to answer. Saying that Paul may not have written the letter just proclaimed can create a problem the homily never resolves.

A homilist should not make the congregation spectators to scholarly debates they cannot evaluate. The authority of the pulpit can make a hypothesis sound far more certain than it is.

A homilist should not confuse the history behind the text with the text the Church actually proclaims. His task is to break open the canonical Scriptures as the Word of God received by the Church, not to reconstruct hypothetical documents behind them.

@YourBasedFren @CatholicArena Because many parishes don't follow what Vatican II actually taught

[Flag Mouse🇻🇦✝️🇺🇸 🇵🇱🇩🇪✝️ @GringoPapist]

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches in paragraphs 2357–2359 that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered," contrary to natural law, and closed to the gift of life.

If you consume 100x as much fiction as you do history, you will subconsciously derive your beliefs from fiction. This is a well-studied finding in psychology called “source confusion”: you remember things you “learned” long after you’ve forgotten where you learned them. This applies to moral “lessons” derived from fiction as well. In fact, this is the entire reason we read morality tales with talking animals to our children: we know they will internalize the “lessons” in those stories, even though the stories are fake. After a lifetime of consuming such made up stories, you end up in a state I call “fiction-brained”: your beliefs about the world are subconsciously based primarily on movies, novels, etc. The only way to combat this is to consume much much less fiction and to interact much much more with the real world and to consume history, biography, etc to unlearn your false beliefs. You are not immune to propaganda.

@Big_Z_Texas @PrayTheRosary Catholicism is the only true branch of Christianity.

@southevropa @ChudThomist The $715k in donations is what he is talking about. One crazy woman killing her family is one thing. Crazy and evil people exist. It's a different thing for thousands of women to support her and be willing to give money to her in an attempt to keep her from seeing justice.
