Christ and His Church are one (Eph 5). How is His Church NOT necessary for salvation?

I may or may not play whack-a-mole with Protestants. Depends on my mood.

I realize some will disagree, but it makes sense to me that God created a visible Church that He kept free from error in its teachings on faith and morals from its inception into the present day. I love that so much. The thought of it makes me feel very loved and cared for. Jesus, I trust in you. #catholic

@lililiterati There is a way to pray the rosary that the Church recommends, but the recommended way is ultimately a recommendation, not a command. So I don't think you prayed it "wrong." God heard you. 🙏❤️🌞

@NancyH_60 If GenZ doesn't know any of those things, whose fault is that? I don't like generational jokes.

USA. Yellowstone. I met a warrior of two thousand pounds, and I was the only one who bowed.

He stood in the meadow like a hill that had decided to grow fur. The bison. Horned. Ancient. Wearing winter on his shoulders in the middle of June.

The visitors adore him. "Look at the fluffy cow!" said a woman, with real love in her voice. Fluffy cow. They speak of him the way one speaks of a beloved dog. I understand the affection. I cannot share the familiarity.

Because I have read the sign. The sign says he runs three times faster than a man. The sign says stay back twenty-five yards. That is not a warning. That is a herald, announcing a lord.

"In my land," I told the park ranger, "we would not call him fluffy. We would give him a name with thirteen syllables and build him a small shrine."

"Twenty-five yards works too," she said.

So I paid my respects from twenty-five yards. I planted my feet. I bowed — the full bow, the one for generals. The bison chewed, and watched me, and chewed.

My heart was not calm. The sign also says he can charge without warning. I bowed efficiently. Dignity has gears.

"He acknowledged you," said the ranger.

"He did not."

"No, he did not," she agreed. "But you did the right thing anyway."

That is the whole art, is it not. He owes me nothing. He fought wolves and winters and centuries, and won, and he does not need my bow. The bow was never for him to accept. It was for me to give.

Respect does not need to touch. It bows from twenty-five yards, and the meadow understands.

I will return every year. Same meadow. Same distance. He will not remember me.

That changes nothing. One does not bow to be remembered.

@japan_nobunaga Why do I love this so much? Why are there tears in my eyes? 🥹

@MrCasey62 So a demon gave birth to our Lord Jesus? @BibleInContext1 is not a serious person.

I love the Litany of Humility prayer. Right around the time that Charlie Kirk died, I discovered that it had been made into a song. It's so beautiful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The Litany of Humility, by Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.

From the desire of being esteemed,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being loved,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being extolled,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being honored,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being praised,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being preferred to others,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being consulted,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being approved,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being humiliated,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being despised,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of suffering rebukes,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being calumniated,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being forgotten,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being ridiculed,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being wronged,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being suspected,

Deliver me, Jesus.

That others may be loved more than I,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be chosen and I set aside,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be praised and I unnoticed,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be preferred to me in everything,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should,

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

@DBryanRhodes @PnishdMythMason Not a goofy question.

I feel sad when I remember how satanists steal consecrated bread from Catholic Churches. I wish they didn't do that. Lord, have mercy. Forgive them for they know not what they do. 😭

[Everybody's Daughter @everybodysdaugh]

@ManassehRJones You have no idea what you're talking about. Catholics who know and believe the teachings of the Church have more faith in Jesus than any Protestant.

If the manna from Exodus 16 is the better choice, does this suggest that the old covenant is preferable to the new covenant?

[Everybody's Daughter @everybodysdaugh]

If an angel from God appeared to you and offered you the same manna from Exodus 16 and Holy Communion from your church, which would you choose? If Holy Communion is symbol of Christ's flesh, and not His actual flesh, does this suggest that the manna from Exodus 16 is the better choice?

"The art of interpreting the scriptures is the only one of which all men everywhere claim to be masters."

Ex nihilo is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing." The Church uses this phrase when describing God's action in creating the universe. She says that He created the universe ex nihilo -- out of nothing. The universe was created directly by God and He didn't need any prior material to do it.

The Bible, however, was not created ex nihilo. Unlike the creation event of the universe, the Bible has an origin that can be historically traced over a period of time.

It seems like some people take the Bible's origin for granted, and treat it as it was created ex nihilo. They treat it as if they don't need to consider it's origins or how those origins might impact how they view and interpret it today.

Do the Bible's origins matter to you?

Exorcist WARNS: Spielberg's new alien movie may be consecrated to Satan.

Disclosure Day: The Last Boomer Propaganda Movie

I went to see Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and found myself watching a strange, late-stage piece of boomer propaganda about aliens, media, religion, and who we are supposed to trust. Here are my thoughts on the symbolism of the film.

@IsaiahINRI How did I never know that I want this too???

@DeborahLeeButl1 @UcheMaryOkoli You are not the teacher of all Christians about what our Lord Jesus wants or what the Bible means. We have the successors of the apostles to teach us about these things. Join us! It's beautiful and wonderful and miraculous and TRUE!
