Re Catholic Education: "the indispensable minimum is that the Catholics coming out of our schools should emerge with a tremendous devotion to Christ. Our Lor, with an awareness of Him, a considerable knowledge of His Life and Personality, and a desire to increase that knowledge"
@Okoye_swa@MLJHaynes Saddly, you, your children and grandchildren will not validly receive sacraments of penance or marriage. the priests associated with the SSPX do not have the faculty to celebrate them.
@wapella@jdflynn@SpenKub@Magister_Mondo If you lack evidence, then yes, it is uncharitable. Even with evidence, one has to ask if a random x post is actually the method by which you would hope to effect the accountability needed, and if not directed toward a good end, even a true accusation lacks charity.
@ThoughtfulSaint@JustinPhoster Forgive my ignorance, but the LDS believe that the Father is the uncaused cause? I was under the impression that the Father was at some point a mortal being who had an origin and rose to godhood.
For traditional monotheists, the uncaused-cause is the origin of all reality.
@mitch_is_tired Most of the additional "weapons/toys/tech" that police carry now vs 20-30 years ago actually give greater non-lethal optionality than existed prior. Also, tech like load bearing vests allow officers to avoid on the job injury.
@gloria_purvis In the background of my thought, amongst other things, I am thinking about all of the legal protections that have been put in place against racial discrimination, while at the same time euthanasia has gone from completely illegal to broadly accepted.
@gloria_purvis "harder" is a comparative term, which seems to imply that less headway has been made in the realm of racism than in other prolife issues (e.g. abortion, the death penalty, just war, euthansia, eugenics).
@stephengadubato@americamag Who determines what "everyone else" is doing?
As a pastor, I have seen an organic shift from receiving on the hand to receiving on the tongue. My approach has been to empower the lay people to receive in whatever manner is permissible by Holy Mother Church.
@riverswrites Do you think this lack of market saturation contributes to the success of such books as the Red Rising trilogy, which seems to be more explicitly directed to a male audience?
@FeserEdward Are the Algiers Accords more similar to the Articles of Surrender in WWII or the Korean Armistice Agreement? I'm not saying that the above is justification for war, but Iran has never ceased being hostile to the US in the way that Japan clearly has.
