@YrreCultureWar@nolibertarians Not technically. The New Testament was written by Catholics. The Scriptures can be called the word of God in a limited sense, though obviously they are not the Word of God in the proper sense.
@HomericFuturist@rightwingnutrs For the Mediterranean world, the elevation of self-sacrifice as a virtue. The classical heroes, with some notable exceptions, fought for their own personal glory, and this was viewed generally as a positive thing, albeit with limits. The Christian viewed self-pride as folly.
@HomericFuturist Imo an important distinction between American and European warrior cultures is that we had much more recent contact with a truly savage pagan culture and had to adopt it to an extent to conquer the frontier.
@angelaramblings Nice! Definitely come check out St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows as well! I'd recommend Assumption as well but unfortunately it's closed for renovations atm. If you come back you should definitely check it out.
@iriscal@DocStrangelove2 Hell yeah I used to see some of yall pretty regularly at the Glockstore matches, great guys who took their shooting seriously. Nashville Metro really made us proud that day.
“It is a mistake to maintain that woman’s rights are the same as man’s. Women in war or Parliament are outside their proper sphere & their position there would be the desperation & ruin of society. Woman, created as man’s companion, must so remain...always under his power” THREAD
@BayekTheOneAW@IncredPapist_ The Pope has the power to choose bishops, that doesn't mean he has to necessarily exercise that right. In fact, for much of the Church's history, the Pope did not exercise that right.
chud will hopefully be out next week.
the only thing keeping him in is the failure to appear warrant. even though he was in davidson county’s custody the night before court & then was relinquished back into montgomery county as part of what seems to be a pre-planned plot to keep him in as long as possible.
once out, chud will be evicted from the home he’s lived in for 10 years. we are looking for a new place to live, as he is now being ordered by the court to report the address of where he will be.
any donations to help fund our move and daily expenses in the meantime is greatly appreciated.

@Mrs_right77@IncredPapist_@pontificatormax You're preaching to the choir here. Of course Satan attacks the Church and Her hierarchy. That doesn't mean we should just roll over and let it happen...especially when his worst minions find themselves with miter and crozier.
@Mrs_right77@IncredPapist_@pontificatormax Yes yes, don't leave Christ because of Judas. But wouldn't it be better for evangelization if we didn't have Judas in the first place?
