@WordProvesTrue@EcciusMaximus He means the grouping of them together and formulation as “Five Solas” their association together as a nearly creedal list is new
@AugustinEnjoyer It’s ability to compel rests almost entirely on how interested an individual is in the quirks of how it works.

@ColinGBooth PLEASE do continue to tell parents the State has a stake in how their children are raised. PLEASE please please keep saying it. I’m tired of having to prove it’s what you all think because normies find it too batshit and accuse me of lying or exaggerating to make you look bad.
It’s actually not that hard or burdensome. You sort of follow it by accident if you just use Scriptural reasoning.
No idea why they act publicly as though it’s some burdensome thing.
I keep seeing Roman Catholics wearing their *allegedly* offensive sex ethic as a badge of honor because it causes so many people to leave Rome (no idea if this is true or just anecdotal cope which is more likely).
I follow the Romanist rules better than 80% of Catholics.
