@BrianJohnCole Not Catholic, but an Orthodox quote which I think speaks to your question.
“We should try to live in such a way that if the Gospels were lost, they could be rewritten by looking at us” – Metropolitan Anthony Bloom
@Orthodixie@HisWillProtects@the_primuspilus Respectfully, Father, this is not a good argument, as most musicians will tell you that playing an instrument is channeling something spiritual, and I would say Divine. This article, IMO, gives an excellent explanation

@johncdirks Offering someone thanks isn’t worship. Someone having power doesn’t mean they’re God, necessarily. In the case of the Mother of God and the saints, they have power because God works through them.
@AnteNicene325@angelva13237542 St. John Chrysostom famously would send 9 deacons out into Hagia Sophia during the censing so that he could fill the giant cathedral with as much incense as possible.
@BrotherAugusti2@leaveittopeter@PageauJonathan Like, instead of ganging up on him for this thing that you disagree with him on, you could instead look at what really good stuff he has put out. His Tales for Once and Ever series is truly exceptional.
@BrotherAugusti2@leaveittopeter@PageauJonathan He’s an artist, artists are going to look at art. That’s what they do. He’s offering an opinion, you’re free to agree or disagree, but I don’t think it’s doing anyone any good to make libelous accusations about him.
@BrotherAugusti2@leaveittopeter Page does play a man in the movie, so as @PageauJonathan points out, confusion of proper pronoun usage due to ALL of the gender confusion is to be expected. A slip of the tongue does not make him “anti-civiliational,” especially if one has been following him for more than 10 min
