@LifeSite Some Vatican II pastoral statements trouble me. Yet I’ll grant them the same authority and assent you grant pastoral teachings of Lateran IV: excommunicating rulers who tolerate heresy, requiring distinctive dress for Jews/Muslims, and barring Jews from public office.

@LifeSite “Schismatic”? Since Vatican II, the Church prefers speaking of “imperfect communion.” The SSPX is far closer to Rome than Anglicans or Orthodox. As Rome attends their major events, a representative should be at Ecône on July 1 to bless and be blessed by the new bishops.

@CatholicSat Why should we? If “religious diversity” is willed by the “wise divine will” (Abu Dhabi Declaration), and “all religions are a path to God,” then a schismatic SSPX would simply become one more path.

[Jean-Luc The Frenchman @JeanFrenchman]

An excommunicated SSPX would become the schismatic church closest to Rome doctrinally. Given the ecumenical relations Rome maintains with the Orthodox and Anglicans despite far greater theological differences, one should expect even warmer relations with the SSPX.

L'ethnie Sarakolé au Mali à laquelle appartient Bally Bagayoko a fait fortune sur la vente des esclaves noirs. Contre armes et argent, leurs élites livraient des captifs aux négriers occidentaux. Pendant que l'Europe remplissait ses cales, eux remplissaient leurs coffres.

@JeanMessiha J'espère pour l'Argentine qu'elles sont plus douées pour le hockey que pour le chant.

Around 1000 AD, the Inuit, descendants of the Thulé culture, arrived in the Arctic with advanced whale hunting and large boats, marginalizing and replacing the older Dorset, settled there since around 500 BC, much as later Europeans did elsewhere.

@Shelby5465oid Que sous-entendez-vous exactement ? Qu’il faudrait aimer uniquement dans son milieu social d’origine ? Seulement quelqu’un qui pense comme soi ? Sérieusement, vous en êtes encore là ? À quoi bon, alors, faire sans cesse l’éloge du métissage ?

Remember, it’s the TLM that’s the problem.

If there is no God, only matter remains: atoms arranged by physical and chemical laws. Humans are one such arrangement. In this view, nothing fundamentally separates us from a mosquito: killing either simply rearranges atoms, leaving no basis for human dignity or morality.

@Roy_2B @lechochretien Il n'y aura pas de sursaut démographique sans conversion du coeur, et cette renaissance spirituelle n'adviendra pas sans un renouveau de la vie religieuse ; d'où l'importance des vocations monastiques.

Christ vowed to be with his Church always; an unbroken continuity follows. To claim true Christianity vanished in the age of Constantine and returned at the Reformation contradicts that promise and is therefore incoherent.

[Jean-Luc The Frenchman @JeanFrenchman]

Examining the laws of physics leads to a conclusion about the universe’s origin. The second law of thermodynamics shows it cannot be eternal. Yet something cannot come from nothing. Therefore, the universe was caused by a reality beyond time, space, and matter. Some call it God.

@rirokpik They didn’t steal your short-sightedness for sure. What you’re describing is human history: every empire seized land, every power extracted wealth, every culture reshaped others, every civilization has been both victim and tyrant at some point in its existence.

@Maximumatheist If materialism is true, this isn’t insight but a brain script running on prior physical causes or chance. No one “becomes” ideology, just chemistry looping patterns. Matter accusing others of cult behavior is just a reflex calling itself critical.

[Jean-Luc The Frenchman @JeanFrenchman]

@jeffstonedotcom @kaizen000000000 If they believe only matter exists, then their belief follows physical laws: it is determined, necessary, and deprived of interest, lacking true freedom or independent rational justification.

@Jeremy189581982 @kaizen000000000 If materialism is true, this “diagnosis” is a brain event fixed by prior causes or chance. No free agent assessing illness or reality, just neurons firing insults. Chemistry declaring others “mentally ill” is a molecule diagnosing molecules.
