I was reading this and “He did it again” is such a funny thing to say when the sun rises lmaooo

[Reddit Lies @reddit_lies]

A lost soul has found the Lord, even though her Reddit atheist parent worked so hard to keep her in darkness.

Rejoice!

Instill in your children the knowledge that mortal sin leads to a loss of heaven and the pain of hell. It is better to do good because you love God. But if you avoid mortal sin out of fear of hell, you give yourself many more opportunities to accept the grace of God. This is especially good for keeping teenagers who don’t care that much yet from straying from the faith!

[Anthony @Catholicizm1]

I asked Peter Sammons “At what point did your faith become your own and not something your dad told you to do?” Peter also told us the one thing his dad did that had the biggest effect on him remaining Catholic. Good insight for Catholic parents.

We live in one of the greatest ages to be alive. Never before have we had so many opportunities to suffer well and win glory for Our Lord.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

Well, first of all, words matter and are important.

Second, the “act” is sacrifice. Sacrifice is necessarily an act. And we only sacrifice to God.

This applies in our public sacrifice, the Mass, in which we offer up to the Father His Beloved Son.

It also applies in our private sacrifices, when we give something up for Lent or sacrifice some pleasure for an intention - these sacrifices are made to God alone.

I’m sure you disagree about the Mass being the sacrifice of the Son to the Father, and I’ll admit it’s a tough doctrine (some would even say a scandal). But it shows a marked difference between our treatment of God vs Mary.

[EvidenceOfFaith @EvidenceOfFaith]

@SammonsRPeter Your only distinction is the words you use. The act itself is the same.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

The Protestant mind cannot comprehend that we have enough space in our minds to give sacrifice and adoration (worship) to God and also respect, praise, and honor (veneration) to Mary and the Saints.

The main reason for this is because they took sacrifice out of their “worship”, so now their worship looks similar to what we do for Mary and the Saints. It’s not an excess on the part of Catholics, but a lack on the part of Prots.

[EvidenceOfFaith @EvidenceOfFaith]

I lost all respect for Matt.
Sitting there and nodding at what is obvious heresy in an attempt to make Mary some kind of deity has left me disappointed.

Apparently, if you are Catholic and go on Pints with Aquinas, you are free to spew whatever non-biblical nonsense you want and not be challenged.

The cult of Mary is not slowing down; it's actually taking on a new level (of idolatry).

[Anthony @Catholicizm1]

This will be fun. Looking forward to getting Peter Sammons on.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

“Grok, (stupid question)? Be brutally honest.”

Oh wow now it’s going to be more honest than if you hadn’t said that. Thanks for clarifying. You clearly have a functioning brain.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

The reason he speaks in terms of “can” is because he’s calling good Catholics to action to restore or reinvigorate KofC. You on the other hand are more focused on complaining and bewailing how terrible everything is.

[Majorian @majoriansmusing]

Notice Eric's wording here: "they're the type of men who —can— form the backbone of a revitalized society." Sure. Anything "can" be anything. But I'm not particularly interested in what the Knights can be, only what they actually are, which is a boomer social club that sells insurance on the side and has big plans for their next pancake luncheon.

How I would’ve been looking at Judas when he dipped the bread if I was an apostle

You save so much time if you just tune out any man wearing makeup

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

Lord, let me be hated by the world for your sake. And by the world, I mean the people I already don’t like. Make sure everyone else still loves me.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

The Sunday is not called the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany, it is called the 24th Sunday after Pentecost. We just get the readings from the fifth Sunday after Epiphany for the reasons people explained in the replies.

[THE CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN 🇻🇦🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 @Emma506131772]

Latin Mass goers

Why was today's Sunday called the 5th Sunday after the Epiphany

Yet the Epiphany is on 6th January
That's over 20 Sundays past

I'm confused.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

A lot of people really like the “you wouldn’t say that to my face” line during online arguments. I find it rather cringe. Yes, I would say it to your face, in fact I would rather say it to your face, but we don’t know each other, which is why I’m saying it online. Unless, of course, you mean that you are going to become physically violent over words, in which case you seem to have self-reported a lack of maturity.

Anon accounts might be deserving of both that sentiment and physical violence at times, but that’s neither here nor there.

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

“I bet you just pray the rosary during mass because you don’t know Latin!”

Calm down I’m doing the Luminous Mysteries

[Peter Sammons @SammonsRPeter]

The way Republican politicians view most of their voters is like a pawn shop owner who is “negotiating” with someone who he knows will never walk away from the deal. Only those he knows are willing to leave the shop with nothing will ever have any leverage.

This is an imperfect analogy.

So true brotherrrrrr

The American people have made their voices heard.

The 120th Congress will officially be the GAYEST Congress in history! (that we know of)

I'll admit I don't fully understand the Anakin memes.

So I found someone to write about it who does:
