@TheSopranosClub We're all seconds from death, it's just a question of how many seconds. That's the horror of the life Tony had chosen by the end of the show. Every second. Fear. Any second. Maybe. This final scene is, whether he died that night or not, the rest of Tony Soprano's life.
@Valentine3873 Read on the 15 promises offered by Our Lady concerning her Rosary. You might see why it is not imposed in a tangible way, and why you might want to devote yourself to it anyway.
@poperespecter1 I don't get out much but I went to a Polish mass in Iceland - definitely more traditional than any US mass I've been to, including Dominican Order masses: kneelers, directly on the tongue, and the Bishop made sure he heard an "Amen" before he gave it to you. And no EMs.
@TaylorRMarshall Using terms like "cradle Catholic" to position your own wisdom above that of the Holy Father (a cannon doctor and lawyer) does nothing to authorize your statement.
Your experiences grant you a unique perspective, not a superior one.
@Vitus_osst For an increase in my gratitude to all which the Father has given me, and patience for the endless blessings and graces which stretch out before me.
@JupiterKunt@Catholic_bro@CharlieJr99mama I'm unsure what you mean by "equal to that", but it is worth noting that the first Bible was confirmed by the Council or Rome in 382 under papal authority. If the pope at the time was not infalible, how would you propose we discern what is true and what is not?
