@train2000c Ehhh. Italy feels very much like Mexico lite. It's very corrupt, has problems with organized crime, the people are lazy, it lives in the shadow of an ancient civilization, but the food is great! Poland doesn't feel as culturally close to America than the countries mentioned.

@AugustinEnjoyer And Italy and Poland

Wouldn't Catholic America be more like Ireland, Austria or Belgium lite?

A based trad Catholic American empire is about as realistic as Wakanda A Catholic America would just be Mexico lite

@SteveSkojec ...have this experience (besides my restless heart finally finding some rest in prayer) is that if I had such an experience I would become intellectually lazy and addicted to it and if it would ever cease, I'd lose my faith.

@SteveSkojec I and my friend who studies theology are the same. We joke about us being hardcore materialists 99% of the time. But God gives everyone enough of His grace so that they come to Him. It's our choice to cooperate with that or not. My personal explanation would be that I don't...

I don't understand why this works so well for some people, and for others, nothing happens. I don't mean to diminish the experiences of people who have a profound experience. It must be powerful. I just don't have any access to that.

A witch decided to do an experiment and try Jesus out. She wasn't expecting what happened next.

@stoopidminidisc @2Philosophical_ That's actually not true. People who suffer greatly (victims of natural disasters, war etc.) tend to be more religious and people don't tend to deconvert, because of intellectual reasons. The reasons are actually: - Credibility in their peers - High standard of living

StoopidMinidisc@stoopidminidisc·3h

@2Philosophical_ @AugustinEnjoyer No it doesn't. Nobody is more despairing about all the evil in the world than Christians. We don't need to presuppose our own standard.

“Manifestly, the world contains so much evil that it’s clear God doesn’t exist!” ~Individual who also thinks that there are no objective moral truths. Many such cases.

Protestant Christianity, which is biblical Christianity, has elevated mankind faster than any other force in all of human history.

@2Philosophical_ P1: If gratuitous evils exist, then God does not exist. P2: God does exist C: Gratuitous evils do not exist.

English

Augustine Enjoyer@AugustinEnjoyer·6h

@2Philosophical_ These same people will then claim that it's an internal critique, but object to the solution that God allows evil to enable a higher (even when we don't see it). It follows a simple modus tollens.

Wasn't it the case that HIV became prevalent among gay men, because they were promiscuous and didn't practice safe sex? And in regard to cheating, couldn't it be the case that some closeted gay men were cheating on their wifes with other men and got it that way?

TroodonVet (Comms open on VGen)@troodonvet

Fun fact: the reason why HIV was associated with gays and lesbians is because they reported the disease. The disease affects everyone including the straights, but they kept it hidden because most of them get/spread the disease to their spouse because of cheating/prostitution.

"Given the new weapons that make possible destructions that go beyond the combatant groups, today we should be asking ourselves if it is still licit to admit the very existence of a 'just war.'" ~Ratzinger

Amigo de Frodo@bpdflores

People comment on the Holy Father’s appeals for peace as if unaware that contemporary warfare includes massive suffering & casualties of non-combatants. The lost innocents are not “regrettably necessary”. They are the judgment of God on us, the blood on our hands of Isaiah 1,15.

@bonesforsales Then I misread your claim, and I'm sorry for doing that. But I still think that the Deuterocanon was taught in the Early Church, especially Tobit, Judith and 2 Maccabees and many local councils confirmed them.

English

fozzil🏵@bonesforsales·9h

@AugustinEnjoyer Which is why I said developed "properly" after Augustine. I'm seeing a pattern on how ppl handle the early church here in twitter, especially those from RC and EO. I don't know why this is the case, I suppose it's a superiority complex that exist in those circles and it's sad.

English

Augustine Enjoyer@AugustinEnjoyer·1d

Cool argument. My biggest gripe with it, would be why would God allow that for almost 1500 years the Deuterocanonical books be preached from and seen as authoritative?

fozzil🏵@bonesforsales

@SynnottMatthew Bet. We go to church to hear and share the word of God because God, by His Divine Authority, ensured that His Word is clear and enough for us to know His love for us.

@urpflanze_ You made the joke, that Jesus would side with Fanon on this question, not me. Or did I misread your joke?

@AugustinEnjoyer It's awful to even entertain these questions. This is one of the many reasons why colonialism shouldn't exist in the first place.

Augustine Enjoyer@AugustinEnjoyer·10h

@bonesforsales Thanks for the thread, but I was just countering the historical claim of prayer to the saints developing after St. Augustine. Maybe the theological/dogmatic definition, but not the practice in itself.

English

fozzil🏵@bonesforsales·10h

@AugustinEnjoyer I wrote a thread on Augustine’s views on the matter... x.com/i/status/19872…

fozzil🏵@bonesforsales

Did St. Augustine support the direct invocation of saints? Bl. Chemnitz argues NO. His views were consistently directed away from the practice. 🧵 If my Romanist friends have a citation from his work which seems to suggest he did,, please share it below. Peace of Christ :)

@bonesforsales ...Christians from North Africa doing it in Confessions.

Augustine Enjoyer@AugustinEnjoyer·10h

@bonesforsales I identify the Early Church with the Fathers as they are the best witness to the Early Church we have and come closest to evidence for the claim "The deuterocanon was taught with authority". Also, prayer to the dead pre-existed Augustine as he records St. Monica and other...

And if you're long enough in these post-colonial circles they often let it slip that colonizer and white people are synonymous. It stretches so far that an Algerian in France can't really rape a French woman, because France colonized Algeria.

English

Augustine Enjoyer@AugustinEnjoyer·10h

This is basically Frantz Fanon. In his work he argues that the colonized shouldn't worry about the human rights of the colonizer, because colonialism inherently denies the human rights of the colonized. The logical conclusion is then that the colonized can't rape a colonizer.

Eve Keneinan 𝛗☦️ن@EveKeneinan

1. rape is an act of power, not sex (Feminist principle) 2. a Brown Muslim man has no power over a White Christian girl ("Black people can't be racist" principle) Therefore, 3. brown Muslim men cannot rape White Christian girls; it is as impossible for this to happen as it is for a Black person to be a racist against White people
