Through Him, and with Him, and in Him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is Yours,
for ever and ever.

@LeorSapir It is a purely iatrogenic epidemic. Once you open clinics for teenagers where you promise that psychic and social problems are due to X, and X can be treated by Y (here: hormones and surgery), you will recruit a variety of unhappy young persons to your clinic.>

@Pijian @PolitlcsUK It’s reminds me of that old statistic: women make up 25% of the homeless population!

@AugustusThinker @Gee__Sus @DrMagier I work in trauma. While it is still likely that Nowak would not have survived his injuries, if he was still responsive 15-20 minutes after the stabbing, it is by no means guaranteed that he would not have survived, especially if immediate emergency medical care was provided.

@CatholicArena So the Spanish Left don’t think that all human beings should be treated with dignity? Interesting 🤔

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@Johnnyappl77151 Beautifully stated.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@poperespecter1 Less unfortunately. At least the countries I have visited (which is quite a few).

@DANNELSON140485 @KennyBurchard I am not the Christ. Nor are you. But I believe that Christ gave us Scripture, Tradition, and a Magisterium to guide us with the help of the Holy Spirit to keep the Faith. The Church of Christ says you are not Christian. That is enough for me.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@DANNELSON140485 @KennyBurchard God is one being: one undivided essence/nature. He is the ground of all being. He is Being itself. “I am that I am.” That is ‘what’ God is. He revealed Himself to us as three co-eternal Persons. That is ‘Who’ God is. Each Person is fully God, undivided. They are not three beings.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@DANNELSON140485 @KennyBurchard I don’t have to acknowledge anything. This discussion is about whether we should call you Christians. I have stated why we do not and will not call you Christians. You can call yourselves whatever you like though.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@petalsgrace @libraryofgodwin @rexthundercock We don’t believe in Partialism. Each Person of the Trinity is fully God. Since we believe God existed before Creation, created all of reality, sustains it, & is not an element of creation, our view of Christ is infinitely higher than one reduced to being merely a part of creation

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@ZekeCreek @needGod_net @metathomist I don’t deny that Jewish Christians, especially in the first few years, continued to circumcise, etc. But there is no evidence that the Apostles, as part of their evangelisation, went around telling people they should still get circumcised and observe all the feasts.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@JohnofStafford @AleppoAteMyFace No, but I still struggle with it. The Church says 3 years of being completely chaste before considering priesthood/religious life. I try, but I’m failing miserably.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@ZekeCreek @needGod_net @metathomist The Apostles specifically did *not* circumcise any longer, especially after the Council of Jerusalem. They did, however, continue to baptise, which St. Paul described as the new circumcision.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@RinjaSpicy @HaruhiAisaka @bunburyoudoujp I don’t know what any of that means, but why would I doubt he is Catholic? I’m the worst of sinners, but by God’s good grace, He has welcomed me into His Church. This guy seems a better man than me.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

I still have quite a few to visit. For a nature lover and national park fan, which would you recommend next?

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@frateranselmus @rightscholar It’s a tough call. Mormons have a higher view of Jesus (divine, not merely a prophet), but Muslims are at least monotheists and have a much higher view of God (not one of many gods, or merely an organiser of matter instead of creating out of nothing).

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@sp1fffX @father_rmv Actually the Catholic Church, being the Church founded by Christ Himself, is welcome to determine the bounds of orthodoxy. But no one is stopping you from calling yourselves Christians. Just don’t expect us to call you that.

[Henry Long @Ptaguy89]

@SladeTheGuy @KennyBurchard No, we are not pantheists. However, every rock and all of Creation has its being in and is sustained by God. You don’t have to agree with me. Again, my point is just that we have irreconcilable beliefs. We do not follow the same religion.
