@jdpeterson1689@FrLillie And I welcome his corrections if I am misunderstanding. It is not really my place, but I want us to hear each other for what we are actually saying.
@jdpeterson1689@FrLillie "Share" here might be what is disputed, in this case. A life lived of quiet obedience to God and humility also shares how Christ conquers sin and death, but I think Father Michael was saying that I might not be called to chat with you in a comment section on social media.
"The Church is not a philosophical school. It is similar to someone who speaks of love because they have tasted it, known it, and experienced it."

I heard a lot of complaining about mansplaining over the last decade, but the world doesn't look any better now that the ladies replaced man's improvisational hypothesizing with AI chatbots.
@PageauJonathan I want @gavinortlund to read my Metropolitan Saba's guidance on reading the Church Fathers, and also to compare Protestant Austin Suggs' approach, and to compare and contrast these two mindsets. I hope this helps.

@ByzantineYurii@WilliamReload I don't condone insults, but I would also ask, is there such a thing as "Mere Roman Catholic Christianity"? Everything of consequence is instantiated in the world; it has observable characteristics and effects. To practice Novus Ordo takes people in a direction, Byz-Cath another.
@PattyMurray Lord, have mercy on our government officials, including Patty Murray, and please grant us to live a calm and peaceful life, in all godliness and dignity. Forgive us for our sins, and heal our lands.
