Why Sacred Pop?

Because the Church should have an artistic future, not only an artistic past.

One Faith. Many peoples. Many sounds.

@LordStarlink @ChristandGuitar Where do you get that? Just making things up that have no grounding in reality is what crazy people do. The whole Christian tradition (Protestant and Catholic) for 1600+ years is against that claim.

2 Thess 2:15 answers that directly “stand firm and hold to the traditions you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.”

Scripture itself commands adherence to unwritten apostolic tradition. So “Tradition must be tested only by Scripture” is the assumption that still needs proof / demonstration.

@AL_J82 Never be discouraged when you're attacked for being Catholic. Remember the words of our Lord: John 15:18-21

I challenge all Protestants to read this total destruction of Martin Luther and his theology by St. John Fisher no Ad hominem just based theology.

@taco_talks What a straw man.

@LordStarlink @ChristandGuitar You can assert that she had sin all you want but that's nowhere in the Bible, and not even the original Protestants wouldn't dare claim that.

Jesus was her savior, but preemptively, applying the merits of His cross before she was created.

That’s not textual history.

Acts makes Jerusalem earlier than Antioch. The KJV NT comes from the 16th-c. Textus Receptus, based largely on late Byzantine MSS, not an identifiable “original Antioch text.”

Modern textual critics compare the entire manuscript tradition. “Alexandria = corrupt, Antioch = pure” is a theological assertion, not a scholarly conclusion.

@LordStarlink @ChristandGuitar Saved from sin, except in her case like being saved from falling into a pit, rather than being saved from out of a pit after falling.

I'm going to strongly bet the Pope is going to give us a substantial and well thought out articulation of just war theory for the modern world in the next few years, based solidly on traditional Catholic teaching on faith and morals.

It will treat modern warfare in all its forms: nuclear, AI assisted weapons and decision making, drone warfare, cyberwarfare, etc

@chiamaka___o Not quite a Saint yet but Blessed Cyprian Michael Iwene Tansi, the great Igbo priest and monk. https://t.co/Tlcl0cb8kN

That caricatures Catholic teaching.

Catholics do not believe penance “finishes paying” what Christ failed to pay. Col 2 says Christ removes the guilt and condemnation of sin. Catholicism agrees.

The distinction is forgiveness vs. consequences.

David was forgiven, yet consequences remained (2 Sam 12:13–14). Hebrews says God still disciplines His children after forgiveness (Heb 12:6–11).

So:
Christ pays the debt of guilt.
Grace forgives the sinner.
Penance is repentance and healing, not a second atonement.

The error is assuming: if consequences remain, Christ’s sacrifice was insufficient. Scripture itself denies that.

@ChristandGuitar The map is incomplete "if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written."

[Sacred Pop | Catholic Music @sacred_pop]

A medium summons or consults the dead for hidden knowledge (Deut 18:10–12; 1 Sam 28). If they are consulting them for hidden knowledge or summoning them, then yes, it's a sin.

But just reaching out to the dead = mediums / summoning is a category error.

Catholics do neither, you should know if you have Catholic family.

Scripture shows the departed righteous alive to God (Lk 20:38), praying for the living (2 Macc 15:12–16), and heaven presenting the prayers of the saints (Rev 5:8).

The earliest Christians invoked the intercession of martyrs precisely because death does not sever the communion of Christ’s Body.

Pray the Our Father prayer in Japanese, and learn it by singing (Japanese learners).

A prayer every Japanese Catholic already knows, now as Catholic Pop.

てんにおられる わたしたちの ちちよ
Your Kingdom come. Your will be done.

@SoliDeoGloria_X Then Protestants are not Christian.

@Matthew56193629 @ChristandGuitar If we worshiped her or consider her a goddess, we would be pagan, and all the Catholic saints who went to their death rather than worship pagan idols would be in vain.

But setting up a straw man and beating on it does nothing to address what we actually believe.
