@BishopBarron He opened Europe's first free public school in a poor quarter of Rome, because he believed a boy's soul and his letters were one work. Patron of the schools that still believe it. St. Joseph Calasanz, pray for us.

@catholicgent Elijah looked for the Lord in the wind, the earthquake, the fire — and found Him in "a whistling of a gentle air" (3 Kings 19:12). The loud things are rarely where He is.

@Sensus_Fidelium Embracing small means you're stuck with the messy, difficult work of what's right in front of you. If every problem is national, it's always too big to touch, not tangible, out in the ether. So a man can complain forever, never do the work, and still feel like he did something.

And the answer to the question is that the inspired author Matthew wrote in Koine, where petros and petra are synonyms; both mean rock, and the gender shift is grammar. The inspired John and Paul give the name in Aramaic, Kepha, where there's no room for a stone/rock distinction at all. The only way to get 'small stone' is to leave the inspired text for an Attic lexicon. So the Protestant reading dies either way: on the Greek alone, and on the Greek plus the rest of the NT.

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

Nobody said they recount the saying. The argument is about one word, petros. John 1:42 gives you its Aramaic original and glosses it: Kephas, translated Petros. Paul uses Kephas eight times. Mt 16:18 is the origin of that name. So the word your argument depends on is attested in Aramaic, by the NT itself, in the one place a naming is recorded. You don't need a parallel transcript to know what Simon was called. You need the name, and you have it

@InLumineDomini The ideal is right and almost no one will do it. St. Kolbe didn't refuse the radio; he put it to work for Our Lady. A phone that won't open Instagram until you've said a decade is a phone put to work. That's the version of 'do both' that holds. Thats our app thesis anyway

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

@marcxgajeton @TaylorRMarshall So you'll read Matthew alongside a Greek lexicon, but not alongside John or Paul, who tell you what Simon was actually called... So much for sola scriptura.

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

The decisive text is John 1:42. The Greek gospel itself says: 'You shall be called Kephas, which is translated Petros.' The name was given in Aramaic; Petros is the translation. As for whether those specific words were spoken in Aramaic rather than Greek: that's the consensus of nearly all scholars, Protestant included. If you want to assert Jesus spoke Greek to his Galilean disciples in private at Caesarea Philippi, the burden of proof is yours

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

@marcxgajeton @TaylorRMarshall Right. Do it in the language the words were spoken in

@AleppoAteMyFace Another nicnac success story

@2scary4burberry @WalmartThomist Gary Michuta's 'Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger' walks the councils in order. Start there and the fallacies sort themselves.

Know of my prayers for your discernment. God bless.

@SeamusMcTier @SipsWithSerra Straight to VM.

Didn't Dr. Brant Pitre write a book that ended his career?

The eyes adjusting is the whole lesson. The nave doesn't get brighter.
Most of us now spend the day in the opposite building: everything lit at once, nothing ordered, the eye never made to wait.
That's what Catholic DeVice is for. A prayer stands between you and the app. Then your eyes adjust

@TaylorRMarshall @Bug_Hall @Catholicizm1 Both are the same guy: managing a wife instead of leading a household.

The sitcom format needs men passive bc a man who lays his life down isn't a punchline

@stashu394 @Catholicizm1 10 for YouTube, 1 for Locals

[Catholic_DeVice @Catholic_DeVice]

@Catholicizm1 @stashu394 This is the exact problem I built Catholic DeVice for. The praywall makes you say a Hail Mary before YouTube opens. You'll still hate-watch Delony, but at least Our Lady gets a decade out of it.
