12Question

@PaulDibartolo @thattradgal Jerome has doubts/questions about the Deuterocanonical Books, but ultimately submitted to the judgment of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. That's why he's Saint Jerome.

@thattradgal FYI, there were important church figures that rejected certain books canonized by the majority. The Deuterocanonical Books were not accepted as infallibly inspired by the editor of the Latin Vulgate, and were included with a disclaimer.

Question for my Protestant friends: Since the Bible was not compiled until after the death of Jesus and his apostles, and the Jews did not have a universally established canon at the time of Christ’s death, how do you know which books belong in the Bible?

@BelteshazzarAD @thattradgal Mt 7:21-23 Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom 1 Peter 3:21 It is baptism which now saves Col 1:24 Paul says he rejoices in suffering for the church and fills up in his flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions

I just did. Your salvation doctrine. Stop asking me to argue your position because you don’t know it. You pulled from James 2 to prove your salvation doctrine of “faith AND works” being necessary. I dismantled your argument straight from James 2 because you thought James was teaching HOW to be saved when he was actually teaching SAVED people HOW TO ACT. Are you out of “proof” of your Churches doctrine?

@Defensofidei St. Paschal Novena: praymorenovenas.com/st-paschal-bay… Patron saint of the Eucharist. There were 8 folios of miracles for his canonization process. Great for praying for fallen away Catholics & for conversions. Also, Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus: praymorenovenas.com/novena-to-the-…

Catholic to Catholic: What Catholic prayer, devotion, or novena can you recommend to me?

@realDaveReilly Father Joseph Dreher was at Immaculate Conception Church in Post Falls Idaho at his passing: icc.id.sspx.org/en/religious-s… x.com/chesterbelloc3…

@realDaveReilly Fr. Joseph Dreher, CO native, 25th Anniversary as a priest, 9/20/2020, at St. Isidore the Farmer Catholic Church in Watkins, CO. stisidores-priory.com/en/news/fr-jos… Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, & let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy of God, RIP. Amen.

Please pray for the repose of Fr. Dreher who died suddenly today while alone in his quarters. Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

@CharlesTingler Read CCC 1393-139: catholiccrossreference.online/catechism/#!/s…. As others suggest daily Mass & frequent confession. Keep a schedule. When tempted, anxious, bored, frustrated, go do another task, like clean up the kitchen, yard work, or even go for a walk; thus avoiding "the near occasion of sin"

Pray for me my brothers and sisters. There's some sins that I struggle with that I need to overcome in my life. Need more willpower and more prayer.

@Ckmmrreb In OT there were 120 priests sounding trumpets when Ark of the Covenant (representing God's presence) brought into Solomon’s Temple (2 Chron 5:12). 120 is product of 12 (perfection/foundation) & 10 (divine order/completeness). Mary is the new Ark & the Church is the new temple.

@Ckmmrreb Most probably hoped for this day; not just Mary/apostles, but the "about 120" (Acts 1:15). Jews celebrate Shavuot/Feast of Weeks when Christians celebrate Pentecost. Shavuot marked wheat harvest & bringing of firstfruits to temple, but also giving of Law to Moses at Mt. Sinai⤵️

Since Pentecost is an old feast 50 days after the original Passover, do you think Mary and the Apostles in the Upper Room waiting knew the Spirit was going to be sent 50 days after the New Passover, or did He come by surprise?

@Ckmmrreb Have the DVD "A Hidden Life" (2019 film) on his story.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blessed Franz Jägerstätter is one of my favorite saints. I pray for his canonization by Pope Leo XIV. ————————————— “Christ demanded a religion of conviction and action. Whoever wants to avoid bad action must rein in human desires. Unordered desires grow into lustful glances. The lustful glances prompt evil actions.. “Each of us stands before the decision whether or not to serve God. Those people who choose earthly existence allow wealth to become their gods. Detachment from earthly things should not, however, spring from convenience. We can remain interiorly free and happy when we are concerned about our livelihoods as though everything comes from us, and we can simultaneously trust like children in God as though everything depends on Gods help.... Since our own strength does not suffice, we should implore God in humble prayer.... “Those who want to find the right way to eternal wellbeing should not walk with the majority of people who are usually timid about making sacrifices.... Authentic spirituality comes about not by talking about God, but by living according to God's command. Without this obedience, even wonderful acts mean nothing. “Discipleship to Christ requires heroism. A weak and wavering personal character is good for nothing. Belonging to Christ requires the courage to acknowledge him.... Jesus demands that his followers place peace with God and the Church higher than peace with ones relatives, that they place discipleship to him higher than fear of pain and death, and that they place the life of the soul higher than the life of the body. Whoever sacrifices everything for God's cause has made the best swap.”

@JustAdaugoijele (There's a rosary line) Catholic Pick-Up Line Song (Music Video) also known as "Sing Along" and the "Catholic Love Song" by David Casper, a Catholic music artist from College Station, Texas. youtube.com/watch?v=hRDwyh…

Things that happen when you pray the Rosary!! 1. You fell asleep while praying the Rosary in bed. 2. You can't remember the mysteries, and you have to Google them. 3. You got distracted and lost count of how many Hail Mary's, you have said. 4. You left your rosary at home and have to count with your fingers. 5. You realize you are praying the wrong mysteries. 6. Someone told you ,praying then Rosary is boring and you want to believe them 7. You remember your favorite clothes that you haven't seen in a while and pause to search for it 8. You tried to plan your family's meal for the day,still trying to concentrate to pray your Rosary. 9. You remember what you did the other day, and it's making you lose focus 10. What did I miss, comment ,add yours, and how did you get past each one!? 🤷 Did you pray your Rosary today?. There is still plenty of time to do so 😉

I don't know the plans God has for me. But I trust Him. He won't give me a problem that is bigger than me. But to be honest, it is hard to trust Him sometimes. Pray for me. That I don't fall.

@adeodatus313 @sscjusa Please talk w/a priest. It's a big assumption that people know all their faults at the beginning of a marriage so as to make them clear to their potential spouse. A serious reason for a separation is not the same as a reason to invalidate a marriage. Make God give you peace.

@12QuestionU @sscjusa If someone becomes abusive then that invalidates the marriage, the marriage becomes unlawful as full knowledge was not made clear at the beginning. You are married to a deceiver. That is satanic. Jesus does not endorse Christians married to satanic liars.

Repost of excellent insight by Debra Gagnon Kelly via Facebook Pope Leo XIV may have just fulfilled a 100-year-old prophecy. And almost nobody is connecting the dots. To understand why this matters, you have to go back to October 13, 1884. After celebrating Mass that morning, Pope Leo XIII suddenly collapsed at the foot of the altar. His face turned ashen white. For about ten minutes, he stood frozen in what witnesses described as a trance. When he finally came to, he revealed what he had seen. A vision of Satan, boasting before the throne of God: “I can destroy your Church.” And the Lord replied: “You have the time. You have the power. Do with them what you will.” Most accounts say Satan was granted somewhere between 75 and 100 years. Leo XIII walked straight from the chapel to his office and composed the Prayer to St. Michael — and ordered it prayed at the end of every Low Mass throughout the world. He knew what was coming. Now look at the last hundred years. Two world wars. Mass apostasy. The collapse of the family. Catholic divorce rates matching the secular world. Liturgical abuse. Scandal at every level of the hierarchy. Atheistic communism sweeping nations. Exactly what Satan had threatened. But here’s where it gets interesting. Exactly 33 years to the day after Leo XIII’s vision — October 13, 1917 — roughly 70,000 people gathered in a field in Fatima, Portugal, and witnessed the Miracle of the Sun. Our Lady had appeared to three shepherd children months earlier. She warned that Russia would spread her errors throughout the world. She told them the final battle between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and the family. Russia became the first nation to legalize ab*rtion. The first to legalize no-fault divorce. The birthplace of modern atheism and communism. She was right about everything. But she also made a promise: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” Now watch the dates closer: → October 13, 1884 — Leo XIII’s vision → May 13, 1917 — Our Lady appears at Fatima → October 13, 1917 — the Miracle of the Sun → May 13, 1981 — an assassin shoots John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square. He survives, the bullets narrowly missing his vital organs, and credits Our Lady of Fatima with saving his life. → March 25, 1984 — John Paul II consecrates the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. And now, in our own time: On May 8, 2025, a new Pope steps onto the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. He chooses the name Leo XIV — explicitly stating he chose it in part to honor Leo XIII. The same Pope who started this whole story. Five days later, on May 13, 2025 — the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima — the world reflects on his election as the bookend to a century-long battle. The bookend has arrived. And the data is staggering. In 2025, nearly 160,000 adults entered the Catholic Church in the United States — the highest level in twenty years. By 2026, the average U.S. diocese reported a 38% increase in converts over the previous year. Los Angeles received 8,598 people into the Church. The Archdiocese of Paris welcomed its largest group of converts ever. France’s adult baptisms have tripled in a decade. England. Norway. Australia. Belgium. Ireland. Everywhere, the same story. The 100 years are closing. The triumph is beginning. And you are alive to see it. Our Lady didn’t perform the greatest public miracle since the parting of the Red Sea for nothing. She came with two requests: 1. Pray the Rosary daily. 2. Pray St Michael's Prayer often. That’s it. That’s how you join the winning side of the greatest spiritual victory in centuries. 50 to 100 years from now, I believe most of the first world will be Catholic again. The question isn’t whether the triumph is coming. The question is whether you’ll be one of the souls who helped bring it about — or one who watched from the sidelines.

@UcheMaryOkoli @Belgian_Blue The moral alternative to IVF is NaPro (Natural Procreative Technology), a women's health science that treats infertility by diagnosing and repairing underlying reproductive issues rather than bypassing them. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…

@Belgian_Blue ?

You are a Catholic, and you are defending this? You? A communicant, I'm sure. And you're defending this??? I'd pray the decade of the rosary for you. May God forgive you. If you were a protestant, I'd have understood. But you, a Catholic??? Nah! I'd pray for you. And it is even worse because you are a medical student, so you know how these work!

@UcheMaryOkoli In Catholic Moral Teaching, all 3 sources need to be good: object (what's done), intention (why done), & circumstances. A good intention or desired outcome can NEVER make the direct killing of an innocent (what happens during the euphemism of "reduction") morally acceptable.

@UcheMaryOkoli IVF REDUCTIONS KILL BABIES. Fertilized eggs are pre-born babies. IVF is infanticide & abortion. Poster needs to repent & go to confession before receiving communion. IVF is a serious dark sin! CCC1759 "An evil action cannot be justified by reference to a good intention".

Over 70% of humanity underwent a chemical lobotomy masquerading as “vaccination.” Two of our studies found 146 brain, spinal cord, and psychiatric CDC/FDA safety signals were BREACHED with the mRNA shots: 📈 Prion disease — 847× more likely vs. flu shot 📈 Brain clots – 3,000× more likely 📈 Psychosis – 440× more likely 📈 Dementia – 140× more likely 📈 Suicidal thoughts – 150× more likely 📈 Schizophrenia – 315× more likely 📈 Depression – 530× more likely 📈 Homicidal ideation – 25× more likely 📈 Herpes zoster meningitis — 1,200× more likely 📈 Toxic encephalopathy — 157× more likely 📈 Brain abscess — 120× more likely 📈 Violent behavior – 80× more likely 📈 Cognitive decline – 115× more likely 📈 Delusions – 50× more likely 📈 Many more...... The mRNA shots disrupt the blood–brain barrier, allowing mRNA, amyloidogenic spike proteins, and pathogens to penetrate the brain and spinal cord — an outcome consistent with the skyrocketing rates of cognitive decline now seen across the world.

🚨Big Pharma is Terrified of This Man: Jim Humble Says “Chlorine Dioxide Cures 98% of All Diseases — Backed by Over 100,000 Patents!” Did you know one simple, suppressed substance could destroy Big Pharma’s control over your health forever? Legendary discoverer Jim Humble boldly declares: “Chlorine Dioxide cures 98% of all diseases and is backed by more than 100K patents worldwide.” Malaria gone in hours. Cancer under attack. Autism symptoms reversed. HIV, arthritis, diabetes, Lyme, and even “incurable” conditions — all reportedly falling to this powerful oxidizer. They don’t want you to know about it. But millions are waking up and taking their power back. Have you heard of MMS Miracle Mineral Solution/ Chlorine Dioxide? Have you used it to heal illness?

Worth reposting that the widely alleged congressional testimony of Bella Dodd that she smuggled thousands of men into the priesthood exists nowhere in congressional record, but she ACTUALLY stated the long seminary process meant Communists explicitly did NOT put men in seminaries
