@Zer0SumSelf_000@FrySpode@professornez There is actually merit to this stance. It is most unusual throughout history that a conquered culture be allowed to continue existing.
I can refute your claims but refuse to do so. I simply see that your hardness of heart goes beyond logical reason. See, you can't force anyone to believe if they refuse to do so, even you raise the dead for them. That's why I won't bother refuting theologically what you would refuse to accept. God bless you too!
It is the skull of Saint Agatha (Agatha of Sicily / Agatha of Catania), a 3rd-century virgin martyr.
The ornate golden “statue” in the video is actually her traditional busto reliquiario (reliquary bust), a 14th-century gilded vessel specifically designed to house and display the skull. In the footage:
A bishop carefully holds and inserts the skull relic into the head of the bust.
The completed reliquary is then crowned.
This took place on 17 August 2026 in Piazza Duomo, Catania, Sicily, as part of the ceremonies marking the 900th anniversary of the return of her relics from Constantinople in 1126. Cardinal Pietro Parolin (as papal legate) participated in the events, which included public veneration of the skull before it was returned to the bust and crowned.
Saint Agatha is the patroness of Catania; her feast and relic processions are major local traditions. Catholics venerate such first-class relics (bones of saints) as tangible connections to the holy person, distinct from the worship given only to God.
@rabbriansamuel Please fact check: We know that cells derived from aborted human embryos were used in the development of the vaxxes. If that is the case it isn't morally acceptable (therefore sinful) to benefit or try to benefit from the murder of another human.
You should be ashamed of yourself for 1. Misinterpreting Fr. Beard - he made a request NOT a command 2. For spreading misinformation about the Catholic liturgy without any theological evidence basis.
Where, oh where, in which document of our 2000 year history does the Church explicitly state that lay people should not raise their hands during mass?
There is a fundamental flaw in most answers. The assumption that time is linear, that one second or day is always one second or day everywhere and anytime. That's wrong.
Time is relative.
ALL OF TIME (yes ALL OF IT) was created in one instant - think Big Bang. Before the word was spoken there was no time. Then all of time came to be.
To all the vaccinated people telling the unvaccinated to just "pipe down": Fuck No.
No collective in history was as brutally targeted and demonised as the unjabbed. You didn't just ostracise us - you relished the cruelty.
So, take this as a 'Trigger Warning.' But I speak from a very unique position of being unjabbed and dedicating years to the jab injured and bereaved, and I couldn't care less who I may offend with the truth after years of self-censorship.
I'm sorry it's long, but I can't squeeze seven years of history and brutal truths into a three-minute video.
You want us to stay quiet, you want to bury the past, but I know for a fact that I am not the only person who feels this way.
You can't hide behind the few who stayed silent. A colossal majority of you took part in the cruelty, and now you want to rewrite history to cover your tracks.
We must never forget what one side openly demanded. I'll not let that happen...
The vaccinated cheered as people were stripped of their livelihoods, thrown out of their jobs, and demanded they be cut off from government benefits. They pushed for heavy fines, legal penalties, forced medical costs, and stricter quarantine and lockdowns for the unvaccinated.
Across the world, the unvaccinated were systematically locked out of society - barred from planes, trains, schools, and universities. Doors to theatres, restaurants, sporting events, festivals, concerts and even places of worship - were shut to the unvaccinated. The vaccinated were cheerleaders for this.
The vaccinated wanted a campaign of public humiliation. They demanded that people be named, shamed, and socially ostracised by their own friends and family.
They even argued hospitals should turn the unvaccinated away, and called for them to be rounded up into concentration camps. Ultimately, they wished for severe illness and death upon them, callously whispering, "They got what they deserved."
But... we weren't the ones dying. Yet they labelled us "super-spreaders" - hilarious, since their jab was supposed to protect them. They called us "covidiots." They screamed about a "pandemic of the unvaccinated."
That happened. Worldwide. Daily. For years.
To the good few jabbed, the injured, and the bereaved who fight for humanity instead of self: your unity with the unjabbed matters. You are fighting for truth and justice for everyone, not just one 'side.' Respect.
And to the injured plaintiffs taking Bill Gates to court in the Netherlands: you and lawyer Peter Stassen are true heroes. By exposing the beast and speaking the TRUTH, you are fighting a battle for all of us.
This is the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, dated to the late 200s AD. It is the earliest known Christian hymn manuscript with both lyrics and musical notation. A plain English rendering of the surviving words:
“Let all creation be silent.
Let the shining stars be still.
Let the rushing winds and rivers cease.
While we sing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
let every power answer: Amen, amen.
Strength, praise, and glory forever to God,
the only giver of all good things. Amen, amen.”
@MasterMaliq@JohnCleese Discussion about Islam is pointless. Muslims cannot agree among themselves on definition of "Islam". Over 70 different interpretations of Islam. 15% radicalized and ready for violence.
@DavidFischer@grok Hey @grok, do you have any doctrinal or theological authority whatsoever that would equate to that of a priest or a pastor? If so are you gonna found a church - the church of @grok?
