Humility is the greatest virtue. Grateful husband, father, grandfather, Catholic Convert, Clemson Tigers. New and tremendous fan of Chief Justice John Marshall

Brother I am Catholic. I support Trump policies, particularly those of his Justice, State, Immigration departments. I voted for this. But I never resent anyone praying for our President, especially a President who has little concept of faith and decorum. It hurts me to see such shallowness from brothers in Christ.

@PragmaticMaemae Go visit a Catholic Church that’s open nearby. You don’t have to say or do anything… just experience the moment

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

@Timodc Irrelevant and trite.

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

When I converted- or as I was in the process of doing so, I was graced with a personal revelation regarding my faith. I was way overconfident in virtually every aspect I could understand. That was 17 years ago. I don’t pretend to be knowledgeable regarding theology and apologetics, I choose to trust the great Doctors of the Catholic Church.

A lot of political arsonists on this site are getting burned by the fires they helped start.

@SoWhatAaaand @DividonBX You’re wrong. Evangelicals denounce Catholicism as you have all the time.

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

@SoWhatAaaand Totally awesome. It’s not a competition brother. It’s all about humility.

@hellznobro @AlitheiaKAT @IndianaBrunner Appreciate your sincerity

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

Brilliant

This stat is wild. This off season was and is the story.

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

@agar_john Yes!

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

@hellznobro @IndianaBrunner @AlitheiaKAT So your interpretation is different from that of the Catholic Church’s. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing. I trust the Church’s teachings from scripture, rather than my own reasoning.

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

@hellznobro @IndianaBrunner @AlitheiaKAT @grok @grok using the catechism what is the scriptural basis for prayer to Saints

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

The Catholic doctrines on this are very indeed based on scripture. In fact, they carefully explain their conclusions using scripture. You are free to disagree with Catholic doctrine and to challenge it all you like.

Let’s ask Grok to research this particular issue… @grok, examining the works Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, Theresa of Avila and Augustine what did they say about praying to angels and saints?

[Chip Atkinson , America’s Barista, Clemson Tigers @AtkinsonChip]

As a Catholic I am persuaded that my opinions on theology are no longer relevant. Neither are the opinions of either of these two proud evangelical.

[Indiana Brunner @IndianaBrunner]

They’ll never recover from this magnificent beat down.

We stand firm on the unchanging word of God. That word commands that we honor those who have gone before us by imitating their faith, not by misrepresenting their words and venerating a lifeless trinket.

@Agen7_0range Preach

Michael he is the only Academy Award winning actor I ever met. We were in Athens Ga for a wedding and all staying at the same hotel- I believe it was 2008- a huge snow storm hit and Georgia was shut down. TCM host Robert Osborne was hosting a film festival at UGA . I was thrilled and huge fan of his. We were all stuck in an understaffed hotel and forced to eat together. He introduced me to Schell who was very gracious (he was with a beautiful young lady). Osborne noted my wife was from Alabama and I from NC and made sure we met Louise Fletcher, a native Alabamian who graduated from UNC.
