Life is about the journey, the destination is the same.

"Catholic" has a broader meaning than RCC. It means universal, especially when describing the early church. You are equivocating this broad definition with Roman Catholic Church, but it is not the same.

The Modern RCC does not teach the same doctrine and tradition as the other church's referenced here. There is a schism.

So your conditional is flawed. Your conclusion is a strawman.

I really like your content and do not mind linking arms to push back on Protestant heresy, but work on your frame here so it is airtight.

@Rainmaker1973 Just ask them what shape the shadow is on the moon during its phases between full and new.

@haywire_x11 @Rainmaker1973 No one can.

Orthodox Patriarch's diplomatic hosting of a visiting female Anglican leader is not the Patriarch's systemic endorsement of Western liberalism.

Even if that were the case, there is no perception of infallibility for Patriarchs.

Sarah Mullally, Archbishop of Canterbury, is on pilgrimage.

@dom_lucre Why would a conservative be upset about someone practicing a skill and realizing the merits of their hard work?

[RedFox @myredfox]

@Brosephos Oh no... 🤣

My favorite is when AI spits out a long posts and in the middle it concedes my entire point.

When I point it out they usually scramble.

@TheBigTEnglish @howlinghowler_ Really quick, do you consider yourself Protestant?

By that I mean, not Orthodox or Roman Catholic.

[RedFox @myredfox]

@DianeKamer @howlinghowler_ Hi Princess

[RedFox @myredfox]

@howlinghowler_ Yes exactly!

[RedFox @myredfox]

@HHS3239 @fistofnicaea You ever going to come back and address this?

[RedFox @myredfox]

@LizzieMarbach Great points... and there is more.

The ontological entailments of P1 undermine P2.

[RedFox @myredfox]

P1: "God is a god" treats "god" as a variable in the dominion of an ontological category/species.

But as a finite human, any category or definition of "god" I construct is necessarily limited and incomplete. The true God is unlimited and transcends human categories. To fully grasp what "god" really means, I'd have to be God.

Thus, this is a form of begging the question. It assumes that our human abstraction of "god" is sufficiently accurate to plug into P1 and derive the conclusion.

To concede the counterpoint that this human abstraction of "god" is limited and not fully encompassing, undermines P2.

@HHS3239 Hey HHS, Did John Danger ever identify as Eastern Orthodox?

[RedFox @myredfox]

There are a few issues...

1. The options as presented are a false dichotomy. You do not believe, ala Sola Scriptura, that a Bible is the authority. My follow up, which one?

2. Recognizing “plain text” in science ≠ recognizing “plain text” in theology, where sincere readers reach conflicting conclusions using the same method.

3. Biology texts are modern, systematic, in clear prose, written for contemporary readers, and part of a living scientific tradition with peer review.

Scripture is ancient, multi-genre, and in foreign languages (for us) that are largely contextual or relational and not detail oriented.

4. You didn’t decide the biology textbook’s contents; the scientists and publishers did based on their expertise certified by academia and their peers. How do you know these books are the infallible textbook, like Scripture without an authoritative tradition/Church to certify it?

5. You are presuming the biology textbook is clear enough to yield agreement in the biology field.

A biology textbook summarizes observable, repeatable, empirical facts about the natural world. Scripture is not a summary of repeatable observations. Scripture points towards God as the objective standard. It is universal and unchanging.

The Army’s biggest threat isn’t China, Russia, or AI. It’s its own epistemic collapse.

From principled warrior to Public relations perception manager. From shared virtues to branding slogans. From moral courage and humble accountability to liability checklists and use of the qualifier “context” as a get out of jail free card.

This is exactly what Wong & Gerras warned about in Lying to Ourselves (2015): a culture of mutually agreed deception born from impossible demands. It’s the soil Jonathan Shay described where institutions fail to provide a coherent ethical framework, and soldiers absorb moral injury alone. RAND’s cognitive warfare research is clear: adversaries are already fighting in the mind.

Without epistemic discipline, the narrative wins and reality loses (see: Afghanistan). The fix is as epistemic as the collapse.

-Radical accountability

- Reintegrate rigorous philosophy into PME

- Restore truth over branding.

Lead with moral clarity instead of bureaucratic reflex. A profession that can’t distinguish right from wrong in training and administration will never do it in combat. The pillars are cracked.

Time to rebuild the philosopher-warrior. What say you: @USArmy @USACGSC @WestPoint_USMA

Modernity handed us longer lives, instant information at our fingertips, and comforts our ancestors could scarcely imagine. Yet we’re lonelier, more anxious, and often more purposeless than ever.

That is the paradox of the modern world. We’re hyperconnected but starving for real communion. We have more freedom than any generation, yet many drift without roots or transcendent meaning. The same tools that freed us from backbreaking toil now hijack our attention, erode community, and thin out the family. Birth rates collapse. Trust evaporates. A thin nihilism hums beneath the prosperity without a purpose. This is a broken world.

None of this should shock Christians. The darkness in modernity with its idolatry, techno transhumanism, spiritual emptiness, the commodification of bodies and time… is an inversion of who we are as humans. Retreating into nostalgia, surrendering to passions, escape from reality, or pure rejection is not the way.

Instead, we are called to sanctify what is good, reflect inwardly, confront the demons we carry, and hold ourselves accountable to union with Jesus Christ, the true God-man who entered this broken world as our model and our salvation. Where modernity fractures families, we rebuild domestic churches rooted in the Liturgy. Where it fragments attention, we cultivate prayerful presence and the prayer of the heart. Come see that you are not alone.

Seek the Truth. Let it set you free.
