@thesinanist Remember when I sent you the catholic canon code of eastern churches? The OO and EO churches are seen as having valid sacraments of initiation. The Catholic Church would see it as improper to rebaptize or to reconfirm you.

@TheMuppetPastor I see they only say it's wrong not because it's not actually objectively immoral, but just circumstantially illicit.

@ArmdVctr @MarisaFairbanks @reddit_lies Where 50% of posts are Q:"can I dress sloppy in church" A:"totally!"

The other 50% are dropping the caveat-laden language of Vatican ii and embracing heresy. Q:"can I be a muslim?" A:"totally. We worship the same God after all"

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario Well I can make a lot of bold claims if I change definitions. Aquinas also included purgatory as a lower realm alongside hell of the damned and limbo. You think people in purgatory are in hell?

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario In other words exclusion from heaven does not mean damnation. Honestly what that non-binary state is, is a mystery to me and the church has never issued dogma on that. So I can hold a position that says "I don't know what it is, but it's not eternal damnation (hell)"

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario Doesn't aquinas also distinguish hell, the place of eternal damnation, separately from "limbo"?

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario Are you unable to comprehend wordy passages?
The doctrine rejects that babies go to the place where those guilty of mortal sins go

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario I did. Did you? Please identify where they state unbaptized infants go to hell.

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario Lol go to question 632 in the no 3 edition.

The reason we even have this teaching, that unbaptized infants don't go to hell, was to clarify that the jansenists were teaching heresy.

@OrdinariateUSA @JeffCassman Then everyone on Twitter would be complaining about the new form of concelebration. 😆

@ServusDeiVivi If Christ did not receive his humanity from Mary, where did it come from? If Christ did not inherit humanity from humanity, how can he sacrifice on behalf of humanity? If Christ did not take on humanity from humanity, then is he just God in human matter? Was Nestorian right? /s

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@OrthodoxWario @ChudThomist Some Catholics rely on personal interpretation of Scripture and doctors of the church over magisterial teaching. It's true. The urge to act like a Protestant is ever present. I'm going with the magisterium here: Auctorem Fidei (1794).

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario I'm good with my Baltimore Catechism. Unbaptized infants don't go to hell.

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@ChudThomist @OrthodoxWario No it is not

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@EZ_Bath @Htownsports78 @FactsAboutTexas Y'all stick to what you're good at.

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@thesinanist I have never heard of an eastern orthodox needing rcia. The same should be your case. This is a pastoral issue and not up to the deacon. I would keep asking. It's immoral to keep you from the sacraments by enrolling you in a program designed for non-christians initiation.

[ecofire @ecofire2]

@thesinanist Canon 897 - A member of the Christian faithful of an Eastern non-Catholic Church is to be received into the Catholic Church with *only the profession of the Catholic faith*, after doctrinal and spiritual preparation according to each one's condition.

Someone painted the beautiful watercolor of the Catholic parish near me. Rebuilt in the 1890s after a fire consumed the original church.
