@veilgnostic @Cernovich Yeah, no shit, bro.

@vinedodeltexto He claimed to have received a "grace." Did you even read his statement? You are just being critical without thinking deeply about the implications of what you are actually saying. We WANT our priests to be on FIRE for God. He showed some emotion and didn't drift off course.

@dlongenecker1 Great idea! Let's "inject" thousands of married deacons who were initially and explicitly called to the permanent diaconate into a completely separate vocation! This isn't an Amazon Warehouse where people are merely interchangeable. This is a calling directly by God.

@KarisGunnerr @proofnote It's a literal video of a scantily clad woman violently shaking her ass on a public stage..

@Deep_biblestudy And God is Mary's Father, yet she was supernaturally impregnated by God. Is that "incest" according to you? Idiot.

@supergloss @larsinthewoods @CurtisHouck @BillMelugin_ This is a good lesson for you. You clearly need to lead with more automatic skepticism about what you are seeing online now. Assume it's fake first. Someone created that obviously fake AI image of the "juror" and then, after that, modeled a fake court drawing after it.

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@0x44_ @CurtisHouck Bro, the "picture" of the holdout juror you've been seeing is so clearly AI that it's bonkers you people believe it.

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@AL_J82 Yes, you caught us! We Catholics do, in fact, pray directly to human-made images of Mary. We believe the wood, ceramic, or plastic comes alive and vibrates with spiritual energy. There are about 10 of the 40,000 that are super-duper powerful to us. Please keep this to yourself!

@cynthiamcgillis Do you not understand that something in active development can be inconsistent and unreliable today but improve the next day? This is true of literally any technology that has been developed over the years.

@22liv22 Matthew 22:30: "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."

@realsedepicante He was an Anglo-Catholic (Anglican) Priest who left his ministry and was confirmed in the Catholic Church. Anglican orders are not valid, so he was never a "Priest" to begin with. What's the problem here again?

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@ComeYeSinners "...they're basically implying that Mary was before God." Brother, this is YOUR own peculiar accusation - your entire argument hinges on an accusation that Catholics, Orthodox (and many Protestants) who call Mary "Theotokos" believe this. We don't. Lol.

@BreeSolstad Refusing to call God by his preferred pronouns is godphobic

@BuenoForMiami @CoffinMedia (2) A Priest will give a "Penance" (which can take the form of MANY different prayers /or spiritual practices) AFTER you have confessed and been absolved. I've been told to read scripture, pray, etc. It's not just "Hail Marys and Our Fathers."

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@BuenoForMiami @CoffinMedia Wait, so you present a false dichotomy first and then conflate "Penance" with the Reconciliation (to God) part of the Sacrament? With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about - if you are going to criticize something, at least know something about it.

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@RealEnfuegoMMA @EFHutton123 @TheRealSantino You sick piece of shit! Literally ZERO evidence of anything untoward on his part - all cruel speculation based on anger. Oh, he wanted to find love again and have a family in this ONE life he has left to live? The HORROR! He lost everything: his 3 children and the wife he knew...

@AbaddonSpeaks *the concept of the Trinity enters the chat*

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@Philip_Goff (3) Uncomfortable truths to some will also naturally have a spill-over effect into the material world. I deeply feel for those who have hurt themselves or have been hurt by others over this topic. We must always push back against using anything as a cudgel to crush people.

[Rational Jerome @RationalJerome]

@Philip_Goff (2) Dually, the conversation then naturally turns to what you define as "harm." If you mean "psychological harm," then we'd have to speak of the value of "Truth" - plenty of true things can instigate psychological trauma. Do we not share what is true because it may cause this?
