Excerpt from the Practice of Christian and Religious Perfection:
"St Augustine , writing on these words of our Saviour, in St. Matthew, Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall be called the children of God, (Matt. v. 9.) says; that the Saviour of the world called the peace-makers blessed and the children of God, because there is nothing found in them opposite to the divine will: — and that on the contrary, they conform themselves in all things as good children, who endeavour to render themselves like to their father, in all they are able — who have no other will or desire, no other content and satisfaction, but in the content and satisfaction of their father. This is one of the most considerable points in a spiritual life; and he who has attained this conformity in all things to God's will, so as to receive all things as coming from his holy hand, and to place all his joy and content in the performance of what is God's pleasure, will find a paradise upon earth. All things enjoy peace about him, and his habitation is on mount Sion. (Ps. lxxv.3.) He may justly, says St. Bernard, sing with all confidence that canticle of the Wise Man; I have sought my content and repose in all things, and will abide in the inheritance of our Lord. (Ecclus. xxiv. 11) For he will find in effect a true repose; he will find, this joy entire and complete, which no one shall ever be able to dispossess him of. (John xvi. 24.) How happy should we be, could we gain so much upon ourselves, as to place all our joy and content in the accomplishing God's will; and could we arrive so far, as in all things to have no other will but his. So that we may truly say to him: Grant, O Lord, that I may never will, or not will, but according to your pleasure. Grant that this may be my only desire and comfort. For my only happiness consists in adhering so to God, as to build all my trust and confidence upon him. (Ps. lxxii. 28.) Moreover, how happy should we be, if we were so united with God, that in all our actions, all our afflictions and sufferings, we have regard to nothing but the fulfilling his holy will in us ? This made a certain devout person say, that he who has only one thing in prospect, who refers all to one thing, and in this one thing contemplates all things, will always preserve his heart in a peaceful state and will rest and repose in peace, in the bosom of God.(Imit.)"

Gospel for the Feast of the Ascension:
Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Mark
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Mark 16:14-20
At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again. And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover. And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God. But they going forth preached everywhere, the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
The Council Of Trent Did Not Teach "Baptism Of Desire"
https://t.co/ljm1r9yYSk
Pope St. Innocent I’s Declaration That No One Is Saved Without Baptism
In his letter Inter Ceteras of Jan. 27, 417, Pope St. Innocent I confirmed the Council of Mileve and condemned the heresy of the Pelagians. His letter was considered an authoritative response of the Apostolic See. It’s also referenced as such by St. Augustine and St. Robert Bellarmine.[1] In the document Pope St. Innocent teaches that eternal life is only conferred by baptism. He also says that those who believe eternal life is granted without baptism should confess or admit that in their view the baptismal streams are of no benefit.
Pope St. Innocent I, Inter Ceteras, To The Council of Mileve, Jan. 27, 417: “But that claim which your Fraternity asserts that they [the Pelagians] preach, namely, that children can be endowed with the rewards of eternal life even without the grace of baptism, is utterly foolish… But those who claim this [eternal life] for them without regeneration seem to me to wish to nullify baptism itself, since they preach that these have what is believed to be conferred on them only by baptism. If therefore they [the Pelagians] want to claim that not being reborn is no hindrance [to eternal life], it is necessary that they should confess that the sacred streams of regeneration are of no benefit. But in order that the perverse doctrine of unnecessary men may be refuted by the swift reason of truth, the Lord proclaims in the Gospel, saying: ‘Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven’ (Luke 18:16).”[2]
Thus once again we see a pope authoritatively teaching that the Sacrament of Baptism is required for salvation. That’s the true position of the Church, which is so widely denied in our day.

@KnowsPascal That's not the teaching of the Catholic Church. It's the teaching of the Vatican II Sect. The Catholic Church does not look upon the Muslims with esteem, and it does not teach that they worship the true God, as our material proves. See this quote, for example:
@proMHFMcatholic@Proselytizer18@Catholicdogma33 Sounds like you have a pride issue…
Forgiveness is a powerful thing. Just as I constantly forgive these bad Catholics for constantly lying and trying to use guilt to commit theft against me.
James Kuenzli [@proMHFMcatholic], you are another clueless prideful, hypocritical, bad willed person like Chris White; two peas in a pod.
Your hypocrisy is shocking. You speak to me about anger and apologies?
You have disparaged many people on twitter Catholics and non-Catholics for a long time.
In fact, just recently, you contacted a Catholic woman, a supporter of MHFM and apologized for you attacking her and being very snappy, prideful and nasty with her.
You also did this to another woman, who is a supporter of MHFM.
***And, it is a fact, that you got kicked out of Most Holy Family Monastery for being very snappy and prideful with Brother Michael, the same way you are with everyone else. So by these facts you have not changed at all but remain the same.***
So, in fact, you need to start eating a big piece of the pie that you are trying to falsely feed me with.
On the topic of "Sovereign Citizen", it does not exist. Never, have I ever identified myself as such. I am not a 14th Amendment citizen, I am not a member of the "United States public Trust.
I am one of the People. I don't pay taxes, that is the greatest evidence to a contract and subjection to the "United States" public Trust, it is the exchange of dollars for services.
A forced contract to the membership, is no contract at all, its Coercion, Racketeering and Extortion. That that is what you operate on, you act thru coercion and fear, and in your case, makes you a coward because you wrongfully attack me and then run away like a coward, blocking me from defending myself.
In America we have a free choice and that is why all political power is inherent in the People, its to choose to be free and independent of the public Trust or to be willfully subject to the "United States" public trust for protection and services.
The "United States" corporation themselves admit tht being "subject" is a choice.

The "United States" is a fictional person; a 14th amendment citizen. Its not a country but a corporation.

The legal definition of the "14th amendment" and the question found within it regarding subjectivity, points to the fact that the People have a political power to choose.
Its the choice to choose their own form of government in a republican form of government guaranteed by the "United States". "U.S." Const. Art. 4 sec. 4
Indiana State Constitution of 1851
Preamble
TO THE END, that justice be established, public order maintained, and liberty perpetuated; WE, THE PEOPLE of the STATE OF INDIANA, grateful to ALMIGHTY GOD for the free exercise of the right to [choose] our own form of government, do ordain this CONSTITUTION.
Section 1. WE DECLARE, That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that all power is inherent in the PEOPLE; and that all free governments are, and of right ought to be, founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and well being. For the advancement of these ends, the PEOPLE have, at all times, an indefeasible right to alter and reform their government.
…Section 5. No religious test shall be required, as a qualification for any (office of trust) or profit.
The "United States" clearly recognizes and acknowledges that politically speaking there is more than just one person in America and one of them is the People.

Page 223 U.S. 140
…the first that "the guarantee in question is to the (people of the States) and to (each citizen), as well as to the (States as political entities)," and the second asserting "section 4 of Article IV therefore prohibits the majority in any State from adopting an unrepublican constitution," are the basic propositions upon which all the others rest. https://t.co/ZeaAdXHWLc
(If you use right reason), if there was only one form of government, then, there is no choice, there is no republican form of government anymore, its either a Monopoly or a Monarchy.
Unfortunately that is what we have today, the person of the "State", the fictional King George III. You are forced to pay for protection and services.
US Constitution Annotated › Article IV. States’ Relations › Guarantee of Republican Form of Government
335 Thus, Randolph on June 11, supporting Madison’s version pending then, said that “a republican government must be the basis of our national union; and no state in it ought to have it in their power to change its government into a monarchy.” 1 id. at 206. Again, on July 18, when Wilson and Mason indicated their understanding that the object of the proposal was “merely” to protect states against violence, Randolph asserted: “The Resoln. has 2 Objects. 1. to secure Republican government. 2. to suppress domestic commotions. He urged the necessity of both these provisions.” 2 id. at 47. Following speakers alluded to the dangers of monarchy being created peacefully as necessitating the provision. Id. at 48. See W. Wiecek, The Guarantee Clause Of The U.S. Constitution ch. 2 (1972).
Pope Leo XIII and Pius XI have addressed and exposed the deceptiveness of the definition of the "14th Amendment".
"All persons "born"... in the United States"
(If you use right reason), how is it possible for a fictional person ["United States"] to give birth to a natural human being created by God in the procreation between a natural man and a woman.
Pope Leo XIII Rerum Novarum - 1891
35 We have said that the State must not absorb the (individual) or the family; both should be allowed free and untrammeled action so far as is consistent with the common good and the interest of others. ...
Pope Pius XI Divini Illius Magistri
35. On this point the common sense of mankind is in such complete accord, that they would be in open contradiction with it who dared maintain that the children belong to the State before they belong to the family, and that the State has an absolute right over their education. Untenable is the reason they adduce, namely that man is born a citizen and hence belongs primarily to the State, not bearing in mind that before being a citizen man must exist; and existence does not come from the State, but from the parents, as Leo XIII wisely declared: “The children are something of the father, and as it were an extension of the person of the father; and, to be perfectly accurate, they enter into and become part of civil society, not directly by themselves, but through the family in which they were born.”[24] “And therefore,” says the same Leo Xlll, “the father’s power is of such a nature that it cannot be destroyed or absorbed by the State; for it has the same origin as human life itself.”[25] ...
Black’s Law Dictionary 5th Edition Pg. 828
Natural liberty. The power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, unless by the law of nature. The right which nature gives to all mankind of disposing of their persons and property after the manner they judge most consistent with their
happiness, on condition of their acting within the limits of the law of nature, and so as not to interfere with an equal exercise of the same rights by other men. 1 Bl.Comm. 125.
Matthew 22:39-40 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth (the whole law) and the prophets
One of the People, is bound by natural law not to trespass upon another natural man's inherent rights unjustly in public. If this is done then the natural man is perfectly lawful in public.
Pope Leo XIII does recognize a republican form of government in America. He acknowledges the individual and citizens of the "State".
He says that the individual follows the natural law e.g. common law, which has been in existence long before the corporate policies [statutes] of all public Trusts. And the citizens of the "State" follow the "human Law" promulgated [legislated] for them as members of the citizenry.
Pope Leo XIII Libertas Praestantissimum On the Nature of Human Liberty - 1888
9. What has been said of the liberty of individuals is no less applicable to them when considered as bound together in civil society. For, what reason and the natural law do for (individuals) that human law promulgated for their good, does for the (citizens of States). Of the laws enacted by men, some are concerned with what is good or bad by its very nature; and they command men to follow after what is right and to shun what is wrong, adding at the same time a suitable sanction. But such laws by no means derive their origin from civil society, because, just as civil society did not create human nature, so neither can it be said to be the author of the good which befits human nature, or of the evil which is contrary to it. Laws come before men live together in society, and have their origin in (the natural, and consequently in the eternal law).
And so, I have cogently and without anger, set forth that the term "Sovereign Citizen" does not exist in America but only The People of the States, the citizens, and the "States" as political entities as the "United States" clearly acknowledges.
Although I do admit that the corrupt courts of the "United States" and all "States" have used the term to take away the political choice of the People for the purpose of maintaining its monopoly, keeping the money flowing in perpetuity.
The corrupt courts only recognize the fictional person "States, as political entities and the citizens that pay them.
All lawyers inadvertently, knowing or ignorantly unknowing benefit from this corrupt monopoly.
And so, you, James Kuenzli and Chris White are again refuted for your pride, lies and hypocrisy.
Psalm 22:
God's spiritual benefits to faithful souls.
1 A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. 2 He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: 3 He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake. 4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. 5 Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
[1] "Ruleth me": In Hebrew, Is my shepherd, viz., to feed, guide, and govern me.
6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
