THE CHURCH FATHER WHO WROTE THIS IN 107 AD AND IT SILENCES EVERY PROTESTANT ARGUMENT
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of the Apostle John. He was arrested and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions.
On the way, he wrote seven letters. In 107 AD, within living memory of the Apostles, he wrote:
“Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:2)
This is the first recorded use of the term “Catholic Church” and it comes from a man who personally knew the Apostle who leaned on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper.
He also wrote:
“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Catholic Church by name. Obedience to bishops in apostolic succession.
107 AD. Not the Council of Trent. Not the Middle Ages.
The next time someone tells you the Catholic Church invented these doctrines centuries later, show them Ignatius.
He wrote this on the way to die for it.
Who will share this?
There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace.
The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities.
The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

Maduro is NOT the President of Venezuela and his regime is NOT the legitimate government. Maduro is the head of the Cartel de Los Soles, a narco-terror organization which has taken possession of a country. And he is under indictment for pushing drugs into the United States.
@Vitus_oss No one is exempt from pain or sorrow. God’s plan of mercy is perfect, and through the suffering of our children, just as through Christ’s suffering on the Cross, we are transformed and redeemed. We must surrender to His will and trust in His mercy.

Before the world tried to “empower women,”
the Catholic Church was already doing it.
Long before voting rights.
Long before universities opened their doors.
Long before the modern world even cared.
The Church crowned a 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 as Theotokos -the Mother of God - and from that moment, the dignity of every woman on earth was elevated forever.
Women became saints, mystics, doctors of the Church, reformers, theologians, advisors to popes, founders of orders, and the first educated intellectual communities in history.
