@Truth_matters20@JDVance Danny, we're not interested in your false gospel that's in your own image and likeness. I will continue to pray for your conversion.
@ChristopherHale@LeahLibresco@FrMatthewLC There is no "right" to kill a preborn child, and this gravely violates Catholic social teaching. So, until you recant, you are being a hypocrite and need to be called out. There would be nothing wrong with your posts if you were consistent in your adherence to CST.
If you were promoting a pro-life Democrat (to which arguably the greatest pro-life politician to ever live was a Democrat, Governor Bob Casey), but that is not the case. You passionately campaigned for and supported a presidential candidate (Kamala Harris) who made it the foundation of her campaign to eradicate any and all pro-life legislation and to legally bully hospitals and doctors into performing abortions. I totally agree with your takes against these right-wing dissenters, but you are a left-wing dissenter and lose all credibility until you recant your previous positions.
The reality is that Catholics should not identify with Republicans or Democrats, since neither party fully aligns with Catholic social teachings. Instead, we should try to reform both parties and create a voting bloc that will only support candidates who uphold the consistent life ethic of the Church, regardless of what party they are from.

Scripture shows heaven presenting your prayers before God.

You’re talking to the living in Christ.
The NFL's never been better with some of the most exciting games (although last nights Super Bowl admittedly was not great) and had massive tv ratings this year, averaging 18.7 million, 2nd all time, only trailing 1989 season that had 19 mil average. So you're in the extreme minority and how would you even know it's unwatchable if you haven't watched in several years? You probably were never really even a fan.
@amoryxblaine@JosephJacks_ It says "up to", which means that is the maximum amount and they will evaluate after each round what they feel is appropriate amount to invest.
@patricko_mm@Catholicizm1 Well when you're a hateful, racist heretic you probably won't feel welcome. I felt in pariehes that have a lot of Latinos. There's some of the nicest people I ever met. I said a prayer for your conversion.
Actually, conservatives traditionally supported free markets and were thus welcoming of immigrants and the free exchange of labor between countries. The reality is that Christian and free-market principles call for the welcoming and just treatment of immigrants. Communist regimes don't like immigration and prevent their people from leaving. To be against immigration is to be anti-American!!
Anti-immigration countries that even have strict exit controls, preventing citizens from leaving:
- North Korea
- China
- Cuba
@2004Jdbr@Catholicizm1 So it looks like you're a dissenting heretic on the pathway to hell? Faithful Catholics support each other. Sad you have made a satanic idol over Christ and His Body, the Church.
Only a demon can make you this delusional and ignorant of the Gospel. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ and possess the fullness of Christianity. I said a prayer for your conversion.
Matthew 16:18-19
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Luke 10:16
“He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Matthew 18:17
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
1 Timothy 3:15
If I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.
- St. Ignatius of Antioch (Bishop - who is disciple of John the Apostle) , Ch 8 Letter to the Smyrnaeans written in the year AD 107
The truth is to be found nowhere else but in the Catholic Church, the sole depository of apostolic doctrine. Heresies are of recent formation, and cannot trace their origin up to the apostles.
- St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter 4); AD 180
A Few Sections from the Pastoral Letter on Sacred Music in Divine Worship of Archbishop Alexander K. Sample
ON GREGORIAN CHANT
“Given all of this strong teaching from the Popes, the Second Vatican Council, and the U.S. Bishops, how is it that this ideal concerning Gregorian chant has not been realized in the Church? Far from enjoying a pride of place in the Church’s Sacred Liturgy, one rarely if ever hears Gregorian chant. This is a situation which must be rectified. It will require great effort and serious catechesis for the clergy and faithful, but Gregorian chant must be introduced more widely as a normal part of the Mass. Some practical steps toward this are outlined in the Guidelines section of this pastoral letter.”
ON THE USE OF LATIN AND ENGLISH CHANT
“Every parish is asked to learn the English plainchant settings of the Ordinary, found in the Roman Missal, which should be given pride of place. Other settings are at the discretion of the parish, subject to the liturgical norms of the Church as outlined in this pastoral letter. Clergy should set an example by singing with the faithful wherever in the Mass this is appropriate.”
“Every parish and mission in the Archdiocese should establish to the best of its ability at least a minimum Gregorian repertoire of the chanted Ordinary sung by the people in Latin. Mass VIII (De Angelis) and Mass XVIII (Deus Genitor Alme) are the most popular and accessible. Parishes capable of more than this are encouraged to build their chant repertoire beyond this minimum. (Interestingly enough, the melodies given in the Roman Missal itself for the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei in English and Latin are from Mass XVIII.)”
