@PresbyInn The Rosary is way more effective when you sufficiently meditate on the mysteries and you do that best with the Scripture. Try it today and see the result today.

Fr. Ripperger: “The more sinful you are, the less you’re able to see things with precision and clarity. But if you become more moral and more virtuous, your intellectual ability to see things accurately and precisely will become enhanced.”
@needGod_net Jesus never tells us to “submit to Ryan’s personal theology or become atheist”
But He gave His keys to Peter (the first Bishop of Rome) and says “whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”(Matt 18:18)
Absolute!
@needGod_net Christ: “if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a pagan” (Matt. 18:17)
Ryan: if he refuses to listen to my personal theology that I invented yesterday, let him rather remain an atheist.
And people think it’s the same religion?
New data shows Catholicism is gaining momentum on college campuses across the U.S.
Participation in adult Catholic conversion classes is up 115% from last year, and more students are showing up for retreats and receiving the sacraments.
@ChanleySPainter has the latest | @foxandfriends
Record numbers as college kids convert to Catholicism 👇🏼
Harvard priest: “We have the largest class of people becoming Catholic in our history this year. We’ll have about 80 people entering the church.”
Watching Protestants like Ryan, whose final authority is his own private interpretation and who teaches that obedience to Christ is unnecessary for salvation, cope with Joe’s conversion to the one true Church by warning others about "bad theology" is both hilarious and revealing.
Joe Schmid has correctly abandoned Protestant individualism and easy-believism for the fullness of truth found in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
They recoil at "embrace Rome" because they narcissistically insist upon remaining in control. Anything requiring them to submit to an authority outside themselves threatens the autonomy upon which their entire religion is built.
Embrace Rome. Submit to the Church Christ established.
@needGod_net Translation: “I’ll rather you continue in atheism where you believe sinning has no consequence (as my easy believism teaches) than believe the true Gospel taught by Paul where “those who do such things [live in sins of the flesh] will not inherit the kingdom of heaven”(Gal 5:21)”
«Aunque tengas un Papa que no sea un buen Papa, o un obispo que no sea un buen obispo, o un sacerdote que no sea un buen sacerdote, ellos no pueden derribar a la Iglesia. Pueden hacer daño, pero no pueden derribarla, porque la Iglesia fue fundada por Cristo»
✠ Cardenal Arinze
Jesus told us to “turn the other cheek.”
Then someone struck Jesus in the face.
And He didn’t turn the other cheek.
That is not a contradiction. It is one of the clearest clues we have to what Christ actually meant—and the Fathers explicitly used it to explain the passage. 🧵
I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.
@IndianaBrunner The commandment of God: “stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.” (2 Thess 2:15)
The tradition of men: stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us by our letter alone (sola scriptura).
>“$5 for a coffee”
Ryan: *pays $5*
>“there’s the machine, go take your coffee”
Ryan: “No, this means you lied when you said $5 for a coffee”
Needing to take the coffee from the machine doesn’t make “$5 for a coffee” a lie (obviously lol).
A believer (one who trusts AND loves God) needing to get baptized to receive salvation doesn’t make Paul nor Jesus a liar. They taught it themselves.
