@OpStCyprian Becuase we are body and soul, and so physical realities help us contemplate Divine ones. The Sacrifice of Christ indeed supersedes all types and shadows, but the physical realities of both the sacraments and the surrounding liturgy help us to enter into these mysteries.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

The Tabernacle and then later the Temple were very richly adorned in the Old Testament; the material nature of God’s dwelling place in scripture helps us to grasp spiritual realities. This is why we also have richly adorned churches today.

@roddreher This is the architectural equivalent of “yall FOOD ain’t even seasoned”

Architecture does not need to be coveted in paintings to be elegant and beautiful just like food doesn’t need to be drenched in spices to taste good

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@RDouglasTravis So you’d like to go against even your own church body’s teachings and say that the Eucharist isn’t central or something? I’m so confused by what you’re trying to say. Have you read through Hebrews?

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@Christocentrist @hhhh94986893229 I think it would behoove you to research Catholicism a little more; I was a Protestant once and I understand and admire your love for the Bible (which I have read through many times) but I think a lot of your perceptions about what we believe are untrue. Pax +

@RDouglasTravis Early Christians had to meet in homes but as soon as they could they built Churches and celebrated the Eucharist often, not just meeting for scripture like in synagogues. The book of Hebrews is foundational to our understanding of the Eucharist as Catholics.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@redeemed_zoomer Many of the earliest of Christian holy sites we have on record were richly ornamented—such as the Pricilla catacomb painting of Jesus the Good Shepherd.

Early Christians were also persecuted, but made churches as soon as they were able, which again are more akin to the temple.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@redeemed_zoomer As Catholics we believe God is made present in our midst; the one Sacrifice of Christ supersedes even Tabernacle; it is not at all like a synagogue for us. The graduale Locus Iste and rite of the dedication of a church building call to mind this reality for us.

@Thomasdelvasto_ Have you ever read the Introduction to the Devout Life by St Francis de Sales? He’s a doctor of the Church and literally published this book to prove this statement wrong.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

Certainly a large part of people are pretty unvirtuous but then at that point, is it really good to yoke your soul to that person until your death? Prolly not. « I can change them » almost never really works bar extraordinary graces. But grace builds on nature!

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

The ideal of Woman is Mary. Who is, of course, strong (Our Lady of Armies!), but really not like a tiger in the least. Joseph never had to be afraid of Mary lashing out…

Grace, modesty, and lady-like bearing are virtuous; a sort of perfection we should seek no?

[Ed. Condon @canonlawyered]

All y’all boys with your talk about male headship and wifely submission and modesty.

In my day, courting a lady was like trying to catch a tiger. You had a little respect for the fact that she was wild and beautiful and might turn around and savage you.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

Everyone is different with their own gifts and shortcomings, but it’s probably best not to idealize personality/virtue pathologies as just « the way men » or « the way women » are.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@TheMagaHulk Those kinds of medicines numb all of your feelings, the good ones and the bad ones. It sounds like she doesn’t hate the baby, but she just doesn’t have any feelings about him, but I doubt she really has strong feelings at all on those pills. For some women feelings = everything

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@ChudThomist For a woman, it is essential that her spouse finds her beautiful. A lot of men who don’t find their wife beautiful have a wandering eye. There is seldom anything more painful for a woman than to know she is not beautiful to her husband.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@CatholicPods Saint Roch (personal favorite) or Saint-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile. Depends on the ambiance you’re looking for. St Roch is more French (TLM w/ hymns and vernacular readings/more participation), St Eugène is more like a US TLM with harder to sing music but it’s beautiful, stately.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@peterswindal @CatholicPods There’s no Mass there, it’s desacralized :(

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@KeturahAbigail This is why I like St Francis de Sales so much, he’s very calm; firm but gentle—I think temperamentally I need that approach…I guess it depends on if you’re too hard or too soft on yourself in general. The rants make me spin into scruples.

[UneFleurCatholique @LysFlosCampi]

@KeturahAbigail Ok, that’s more along the lines of what I was thinking but it’s just not very clear from the passage in the picture.
