"[...] Mais ainda: o mais bem ordenado é o natural; pois, em cada coisa, opera a natureza o melhor. E todo regime natural é de um só. Assim, na multidão dos membros, há um primeiro que move, isto é, o coração; e, nas partes da alma, preside uma faculdade principal, que é a razão. Têm as abelhas um só rei, e em todo o universo há um só Deus, criador e governador de tudo.
E isto é razoável. De fato, toda multidão deriva de um só. Por onde, se as coisas de arte imitam as da natureza e tanto melhor é a obra de arte, quanto mais busca a semelhança da que é da natureza, importa seja o melhor, na multidão humana, o governar-se por um só."
(De Regno ad Regem Cypri, Capítulo 3)
Hold on, if, as you have claimed, the soul already *is* a person’s thoughts, emotions, and will, then love, greed, hope, and guilt cannot be distinct “spirits” that occupy it from outside. Those are acts or habits of the very powers you already located in the soul. Either the soul is not what you first said it is, or the “spirits” are not external occupants. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Unbelievable how, even after all this, they still insist on the absurd coup narrative.
The Justices did not "proceed calmly." They threatened Mauro Cid's family to get him to say what they wanted. They imposed the same impossible, highly grave crime on every single unarmed protestor who was there, including women and the elderly. Débora Rodrigues dos Santos got 14 years when the most she did was vandalize a statue with lipstick, which was easily cleaned with water. The tyrannical (now also revealed to be deeply corrupt) rogue Justice Alexandre de Moraes went against the Prosecutor General's recommendation to release Cleriston Pereira da Cunha, despite the defense constantly warning of his severe condition, and he died in prison.
Bolsonaro's defense faced several unreasonable hurdles. They were effectively given 15 DAYS to analyze 70 TERABYTES of data.
But then again, I shouldn't expect any better from The Ecommunist. At least they recognize that Alexandre is a corrupt, deranged psychopath.
Corruption at the heart of Brazil’s institutions could undermine trust in democracy more than Jair Bolsonaro, the former president currently under house arrest for attempting a coup, ever did https://t.co/7RtM9WyUQZ

🚨AGORA - Flávio Bolsonaro fala que a operação da PF contra Dark Horse foi a 3ª facada que havia dito e que o motivo é ele ter ultrapassado Lula nas pesquisas
“A 3ª facada chegou. Você lembra? Eu falei ontem.”
🗣️ “Se tem alguém aqui que vai votar nesse cara [Flávio Bolsonaro], não conte com meu respeito. Conte com meu mais absoluto desprezo. Sua opinião política e lixo é a mesma coisa”, diz Renan Santos a representantes do setor empresarial em encontro promovido pela Amcham Brasil.
How would you say this compares to the vindicatory nature of Catholic miracles, Trent?
Joe Schmidt spoke a lot about the different explanatory models regarding miracles, and, in this case, I don't see much counting against demonic or accomodationist explanations. I'll admit I haven't investigated this case.
Or hear me out (as an African-American Catholic): To become a bishop you need to first be a priest. Few black men attend seminary, even fewer make it through seminary. So that’s not racism; there simply aren’t that many blacks that can be made bishops.
