Seize every opportunity to Glorify God! Speak of His Greatness, joyfully. Offer sufferings as sacrifice. His Will be done, as He Wills for as long as He wills.
Christian Zionists are free to adopt their misunderstanding of the Old Testament as their personal religion. But bad theology should not be the cornerstone of American foreign policy. People who think like Mike Huckabee should not hold public office since he is de facto Israel's ambassador to the United States. Trump's MAGA coalition is falling apart into two factions. It's either Israel First or America First. There is no third option anymore.
Reminder that usury is a sin.
We could have mortgages and car loans without compound interest and amortization.
Other places do it, it's definitely possible, and as Christians we should be pushing for this change.
While Taylor Marshall is denying the reality of what's happening in the Vatican and memory-holing his own Infiltration book, there is a growing community on Substack actively working on how to deal with the Crisis. I recommend this highly and the comments. https://t.co/RS8c7zlMNB
“A people that has forgotten its traditions, its ancestors, and the sacrifices that bought its freedom is a people already conquered. For the man without memory is easily ruled, and the man without roots is easily led.”
— Hilaire Belloc
local parish sells Christmas trees but if you want to actually wait TILL Christmas then your local Church won't have any trees for you. So if you decide to actually celebrate the seasons and do penance during advent and celebrate Christmas when Christmas actually starts and go through the whole season it's exciting for you bc you either cut down your own tree, buy a fake one, or travel the area to find someone with a tree nobody wanted to buy that may not make it to Feb 2.
Everyone in the neighborhood may have lights up now. You be the one in the dark or put purple lights up. When they turn their lights off then you be that house with the lights on and have Christmas music playing. The secular crowd is partying now. As the saying goes "be a stranger in the city". If people ask then tell them why.
I always loved this time during Uber days. Not many advent songs so tried to play a few in the car or just have Billy Idol channel on. When Christmas came around? I'd have Christmas music on for weeks. Riders would go "is this Christmas music? isn't it over?" then we get to discuss the 12 days of Christmas and the season etc.
People tweet or do podcasts on making this a Catholic land. Can you do a little evangelization with lights and decorations? Or are you scared of your neighbors? If you can podcast or tweet but are terrified of your neighbors don't click record.
Marriage IS transactional. One big CONTRACT, raised to the level of a sacrament for the baptized. It is not a protestant "covenant" or "union of love" and does not "transform" a person. Theology of the Body is destroying marriage. No wonder we have so many divor...annulments.
The craziest part about these female Catholic influencers is that none of them seem to care about holiness. Wives who submit to their husbands do it out of love for Christ. If you won’t obey your husband you won’t obey Christ. For the husband is the head of the wife. You protest this at the cost of your soul. It’s no different than the Protestants who refuse to submit to the Church. This is not about oppression, it’s about eternal damnation. The male Catholic influencers who refuse to tell women this truth are more concerned with the approval of their audience than the truth of God. They will be held to account.
