"America is a creedal nation!"

"Okay, can we test people to see if they believe in the creed before letting them in?"

"No, that's racist."

"Then can we kick them out if they don't believe in the creed?"

"No, that's denying them due process and their constitutional rights."

"Can I see a copy of this creed?"

"Nope, no one can agree on exactly what it is. We think it has something to do with the declaration of independence, though."

"Okay, so what you're saying is that this creed defines the nation, but it isn't defined, that it forms the basis of the law, but has no effect on the law, that we owe allegiance to it, but that allegiance cannot be tested or demanded?"

"Yep!"

"So the creed could be anything, couldn't it? It could be 'horsies are pretty', or 'eat at Joe's', and it wouldn't make the slightest difference?"

"I suppose so. I never really thought about it. What's important is that judges decide who is an American, and what America's future will be."

"Say, aren't you a judge?"

"Yes, what's your point?"

@WealthCoachMak Why QQQM over QQQ, coach?

The Muslim invaders raped so many European women and killed so many European men as they blitzed across the Mediterranean world that the population went from looking like Romans to looking like Arabs

And even if they didn't tax churches, they abducted Christian boys and raped them, or turned them into janissaries, as shown by the twin tales of Skanderbeg and his brother

This is why Martel and the Franks were heroic for stopping them at Tours, the Hospitallers were heroic for stopping them at Malta, and the Poles were heroic for saving Vienna

Muslim invasion brought with it the same problems as Muslim migration, which is the horrific rape, abuse, and murder of Christians

I’ve posted this before but this passage from Garrigou-Lagrange is both sobering and comforting for anyone who might feel estranged from God through habitual grave sin

@edgaralandough @Grok Why would I need to do this versus just opening and funding a Roth IRA?

Here's how the saints saw the Jews. The saints lived to convert them in love, not scapegoat them in anger. Please, read these four old-school saints' quotes on the Jews before replying. See what their upcoming conversion will mean for the Catholic Church. (We clergy must preach Christ-crucified for the Jews to be baptized. That is why I spend more time slamming Rome for religious indifferentism than Jerusalem for being Zionist.)

@end3of6days9 @grok Where can I find the full video on YouTube?

[Aaron Davis @aaron_j_davis]

@KayaJones Read Nostra Aetate. It uses the phrase “new covenant” and “Although the church is the new people of God.”

@clashreport There is a lot of symbolism here. That’s Sean Carmeli, an American born IDF soldier KIA in Gaza in 2014. I knew him personally.

Lock Lutnick in a closet. Address the nation live, release JFK/USS Liberty/911/Butler/Charlie/Epstein files in full. Arrest infiltrators, expel all dual citizens from government, all illegals from the country. Abolish the IRS, FBI, CIA (confiscate all the latter's black money, disburse to citizens). Apologize, Repent, accept Jesus. Breathe easy as an unburdened courageous man who has met his responsibility. @KimDotcom

Here is a very basic response – if you care to read it.

Catholics hold that the Bishop of Rome, as successor of St Peter, possesses a unique ecclesial grace of the Holy Spirit, a charism attached to the Petrine office, such that when he teaches as supreme pastor of the universal Church (ex cathedra), defining a matter of faith or morals to be held by all the faithful, he is preserved from error.

This is the power, called Papal Infallibility, the office has always possessed, but was formally defined at the First Vatican Council.

These require the assent of the faithful, since their authority derives not from the pope's personal qualities (ex merito) but from the office he holds (ex officio) which is guided and protected by the Holy Spirit.

This, however, pertains only to the formal exercise of the office and not to the private judgment of the man who holds it.

As a man, the pope is fallible, capable of imprudence, temporal corruption, and subject to error in matters outside the scope of his teaching authority (e.g. economics or the climate).

His personal opinions, non‑authoritative remarks, or personal conduct do not bind the faithful.

However, the virtue of justice demands that we still honour the man – even if he be vicious – because honour is owed principally to the office as a participation in the divine order, and the man receives that honour by reason of the office he bears, not by his personal sanctity – even though we hope and pray that all pope's (like all members of the Magisterium) are good and holy men.

People on the right who have been mentally modelling the world since they were kids, constantly updating and revising their mental model so that it’s able to reliably anticipate basic functioning of the world around us, so we can navigate the world without being blindsided all the time; have trouble internalising this:

- leftists don’t abide by the principle of non-contradiction
- they do not understand the world through abstract or ideal first principles which they then apply universally, in a predictable and stable manner
- like situations are therefore not alike
- everything is its own thing & has no bearing on anything else
- noticing patterns is racist hateful and evil so they stopped doing that a long time ago, pattern recognition is haram

Every position they hold is a unique stance that they imbibed from the media. They don’t start from an abstraction and think critically to rach their conclusion. They literally watched Colbert and had it drilled into their brain. They don’t have first principles or universal values. They do what they are told. Because it benefits their coalition to do so. That’s it.

That’s their whole worldview and it’s why they don’t flinch when they contradict themselves. They don’t have an “ideology” arrived at through abstract reasoning or critical thinking, they’re part of a cult that does everything humanly possible to prevent them from ever thinking about anything for any reason. They regurgitate the party line and experience affirmation and inclusion from their peers when they do. So they keep doing it. It’s that basic. They are Pavlov’s dog.
