@sadgirlyboss But sometimes it isn’t prudent given social context to tell someone that you have a romantic interest in, because it would cause a sort of unjust emotional burden for that person
@JohnofStafford@poperespecter1 I don’t know about the whole savior context part but yeah, the engagement incentives her behavior. “Do not answer fools according to their folly, or you will be a fool yourself.”
@food_inquisitor@LowStudies@poperespecter1 Apostolic succession and keeping the same sacraments as part of the Deposit of Faith, but rejecting the primacy of St. Peter.
@LowStudies@poperespecter1 That’s great that young men are finding Christ in valid sacraments, but there is still the broader issue of the fragmented nature of Orthodoxy, especially with the Russian Orthodox Church being a political arm for the Kremlin. In reality, Orthodoxy appears as several Churches.
@sadgirlyboss I fell in love with someone recently at first sight, but the social context is extremely limiting in being forthcoming. I’ve been praying for prudence because of this.
@cath_menarion We need the Holy Father to drop that encyclical at any moment now. I suspect the AI boom will be more damaging to humanity than the Industrial Revolution could have been.

Again, the Council of Trent was not the first time the Church declared the 73 book canon.
@ScottRoberts 4. Several regional councils like Rome and Hippo established a 73 book canon. Also St. Jerome accepted the 73 book canon before his death. In fact, before the Reformation, the Council of Florence universally established the 73 book Canon.
This whole situation going on with Trump attacking the Catholic Church and the Democrat response is showing how all of these high level American politicians are professional grifters.
