@vanguard_truth@DoraDuRoi@ConceptualJames It’s true that Catholics disagree absolutely. But, God’s church is one Holy, universal, and apostolic. It has a magisterium inspired by the Holy Spirit to correct error. This is far superior to the irreconcilable differences of Protestants who cannot settle conflicts.
@vanguard_truth@DoraDuRoi@ConceptualJames You’re definitely entitled to express all the stupid and uniformed opinions you like! That’s freedom. Protestant “reformers” agree on very little between each other.
@JonathanLusher@BishopBarron Empathy cannot replace love because it fails to achieve justice. Excessive mercy for the criminal is injustice for the victim.
I face more ideological resistance from students today than I did 10 years ago.
Here's what I mean.
Yesterday, I had a group of 14-year-olds argue with me about capitalization.
Many of them rarely use capital letters correctly in their writing, and they genuinely believe capitalization is unnecessary, or even "dumb."
When I told them that I take points off for ignoring capitalization, they insisted it was unfair.
Ten years ago, I almost never had conversations like this.
Students might have forgotten the rules. They might have been careless. But they rarely argued that the rules themselves didn't matter.
