@Stevieb8081 @riecker Read some books written by Catholic Saints and you will understand what we mean

[BeenCatholic @StrivingDad3]

@JezreelJarvis @riecker Doesn't Scripture say that the Messiah's Church will conquer the world? Only the Catholic Church fulfills the prophecies of what Christ's Church would be like

@farmingandJesus @riecker @farmingandJesus a thing cannot be both intellectually satisfying and Scripturally bankrupt

Fr. Ripperger: “It’s a struggle. It’s a fight. Each of us was conscripted into this spiritual warfare. But how much God wants you to experience it is NOT a sign that He’s abandoning you. The more God allows the demons in your life the more He wants you to achieve holiness.”

@riecker No, they just make a new denomination

Once you realize that passive osmosis in our culture will make you a degenerate, cowardly fool, you see the imperative to radically adjust your environment:

God at the foundation, surrounded by wise men, and filling your mind and heart with profound books, and great music.

@NathanBozeman2 @metathomist @NathanBozeman2 Catholics don't have just a few obscure, questionable miracles here and there. We have countless thousands, all over the world, consistently for the past 2000 yrs. They are the most astounding stories you will ever read. It's how Christianity spread worldwide

This is something Ryan repeatedly tries to do.

He dishonestly and purposefully conflates the necessity of good works in the Christian life with the claim that we earn heaven through our own efforts, apart from God’s grace. Those are two entirely different things.

So Ryan, this will serve as one of THOUSANDS of times you have been corrected publicly on this.

Catholicism teaches that good works, accomplished with the grace of Jesus Christ, are necessary. In other words, these are not works performed apart from Christ. They are works made possible by His grace, working in us.

Even our ability to perform those good works is a gift that comes from Him.

God crowns His own gifts.

We do not earn heaven apart from Christ.

Now, will he stop misrepresenting Catholic teaching? No. He has demonstrated time and time again that he is more interested in attacking a caricature of Catholicism rather than telling the truth about what the Church actually teaches.

This is not an issue of misunderstanding. It is a pattern of dishonesty, and his repeated refusal to correct it speaks volumes about his character and the spirit that leads him.

@farmingandJesus @grok @MrCasey62 @farmingandJesus How do you explain the countless miracles done after people prayed to Mary and the Saints in the past 2000 years? You can't really believe the devil did them all, especially given the fact that this was likely the most effective way Christianity spread

[BeenCatholic @StrivingDad3]

@MrCasey62 This is how I felt when I started reading the Saints and taking the Catholic Faith seriously. Its the most amazing , beautiful, awe-inspiring thing on earth. It's the greatest thing on earth, by far. Infinitely great! Protestants, y'all are missing out

[MrCasey @MrCasey62]

Colby, Evangelical in OCIA: “I didn’t know Catholics believe the Mass is literally the connection between heaven & earth. That’s why there’s super deep reverence behind everything they do. Protestantism stripped away the depth & the beauty. Catholics take it to another level.���

[MrCasey @MrCasey62]

Even PROTESTANT scholar Alister McGrath says so:

“A fundamental DISCONTINUITY WAS INTRODUCED into the western theological tradition where none had ever existed before. THE REFORMATION UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF JUSTIFICATION must be regarded as a genuine THEOLOGICAL NOVUM.”

[Joshua Charles🇻🇦 @JoshuaTCharles]

Isn’t it really great to believe in God, trust in His goodness unto eternity, understand the signs of the times we are in, and simply do our duty in the meantime?

This is an age of great saints, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. A time of great deeds for the brave.

[Joshua Charles🇻🇦 @JoshuaTCharles]

Anyone who has any remote idea of my views of Mr. Trump and so-called American “conservatives” knows this has virtually nothing to do with the election last night. Hence “no matter what we choose…”

Both sides are taking us to Antichrist by their own peculiar and diabolical stratagems.

[Joshua Charles🇻🇦 @JoshuaTCharles]

By God’s permission, diabolic powers have been allowed to regain their ancient preeminence over the temporal powers of this world.

The board has been set so that no matter what we choose, the power of Antichrist is advanced.

Understand the signs of the times. Act accordingly.

[Matt Gaspers @MattGaspers]

Do most conservative Boomers really believe that if we just elect Republicans every two years, all will be well in America?

That’s the impression I get.

Thankfully, younger conservatives are rejecting this myth and want something better: the Social Kingship of Christ.

[Producer @ Avoiding Babylon @CatholicRob]

When given a choice between offering just a pinch of incense to Caesar or offering a whole handful, Christians must choose to do neither.

[BeenCatholic @StrivingDad3]

@PoFPodcast @MrCasey62 The Holy Ghost says in one the Letters of St. Peter in Scripture that there are things in Paul's letters that are hard to understand. If you're honest, you will further admit that there are many other statements in the Bible that are difficult to understand

[BeenCatholic @StrivingDad3]

@reynolds_i94552 @JoshuaTCharles The Tyndale Scripture accusation has been debunked, even by Protestants. Look it up yourself. The reason we all have so much access to The Bible is directly because of the Catholic Church
