God exists, Jesus is Lord, Catholicism is true

@TanyaDe2233 @ICE_Elricus No, I wasn’t pleased with how I crafted it. My tweets are works of art. I’ll end up re-posting later when it’s worded in a more clever way. There is a time and place to charitably mock the Novus Ordo: always, hahahaha

If heretical bishops and popes are accepted as Catholic bishops and popes then the doctrine hasn’t changed, but it does mean unity of faith is essentially gone.

What does any of that have to do with the Church’s doctrine of unity? Practical confusion among those trying their best as well as heretics being accepted as Catholics are all what we’d expect to ensue during an extended vacancy.

[Agiat 💚 @countmaculad]

The unity of the Church first and foremost pertains to unity of faith. If a church isn’t united in faith it’s ipso facto not the true Church. And clearly the conciliar church embraces heretics as “Catholics” (virtually no one is excommunicated except the SSPX lol) and many of these heresies are coming from the top. “Unity in practical decision making” isn’t what the doctrine of unity is concerned with per se.

This is very dark. It is not only contrary to the teaching of Christ, who warned that “if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:15). It even falls below the standard of pagans like Aristotle, who wrote that “the magnanimous man…does not nurse resentment, because it is beneath a magnanimous man to remember things against people, especially wrongs; it is more like him to overlook them” (Nicomachean Ethics, Book IV). I feel very sorry for Trump, who has no idea how dangerous this bitterness is to his immortal soul. He needs our prayers.

pray the rosary, God bless Bishop Williamson

being made aware of our faults is one of the endless expressions of His love. even our desire to draw closer to Him is not something we can take credit for, because without His grace we wouldn't even have that desire in the first place

[dya ♱ @fiorettidassisi]

the more i think about it, the more i realize how much having the chance to recognize my faults and work on them is something to be grateful for. we live as if tomorrow is guaranteed, we forget that even the time we're given to repent is a mercy we should never presume upon

Because with martyrdom one is explicitly dying for Christ. *However,* you do bring up an interesting point that Fr. McHugh and Fr. Callan (moral theologians) comment on: in theory, a Catholic in mortal sin should not risk is his life; in practice, if he is saving another man, this will very easily enable him to make an act of perfect contrition because the love is sacrificial. But *technically speaking,* that’s not guaranteed (since non-Catholics can sometimes manifest this love to); so it comes down to whether or not he can have a moral certainty of his making an act of perfect contrition.

[Agiat 💚 @countmaculad]

@E76789702E @TeeTrimma @napehuffer83 No, if he dies a martyr then he makes a perfect act of love towards God. Hence why catechumens — not yet baptized — can be saved via martyrdom, i.e., baptism of blood.

[Agiat 💚 @countmaculad]

Haha alright, well I’m happy to hear that you apparently have many options. Just don’t be *irrationally* picky! Every guy will have his faults, and many of those can be worked out with time (e.g., maturity comes with every passing year). So long as you prioritize virtue and faith in a man first then you’ll be fine.

Moral theologians McHugh and Callan on mortal sin and the conditions for it.

@TrickledDroplet I’ve maintained for years that @farmingandJesus is probably the dumbest and most pretentious Protestant on here. There are some Prots who — even with vehement disagreements — can provide for a more engaging conversation, but she is as dense as it gets.

Suicide is not a rational act when it is done in a state of mental illness. Thus it is not a mortal sin. Hope this helps.

[Jesus and Whatnot @JesusandWhatnot]

Remember: jokes that violate neighbor are sinful and in many cases mortally sinful.

@YECatholic I’m really not sure how he feels about Catholicism honestly. I know AiG will rarely give basic objections to it, but I don’t know whether they fall into the “Catholics are very wrong, but our brothers in Christ” or the “they’re not Christian” camp of evangelicals.

[Agiat 💚 @countmaculad]

@YECatholic Did he start making objections, or did just mention that in passing to be cordial about it? I’m sure a Catholic YEC shocked him regardless lol.

[Agiat 💚 @countmaculad]

@YECatholic Curious, were you Catholic when you met him? If so, did you bring that up? I’d be interested in his reaction to that.

[Agiat 💚 @countmaculad]

@YECatholic He’s a wholesome guy, I appreciate his passion for scripture. I’d be very happy to welcome him to the Church.
