The Immaculata appears in this world, without the least stain of sin, the masterpiece of God's hands, full of grace. God, the most Holy Trinity, beholds the lowliness (i.e., the humility, the root of all her other virtues) of his handmaid, and "does great things" for her (cf. Lk 1:49). God the Father gives her his own Son to be her Son; God the Son descends into her womb; and God the Holy Spirit forms the body of Christ in the womb of this most pure virgin. "And the Word was made flesh" (Jn 1:14). The Immaculata becomes the Mother of God. The fruit of the love of God in his Trinitarian life and of Mary the Immaculata, is Christ, the God-man. Hence forth all the other sons of God must be modeled after this first Son of God, the God-man, the infinite One. They must reproduce his traits; by imitating Christ souls reach sanctity. . . . This is the union brought about by the spousal love of the soul for Christ, through its re-semblance to him, and by God's action. But if anyone does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for his Mother, he will not have Christ for his Brother. . . . Since the firstborn Son, the God-man was conceived only with the specific consent of the most Blessed Virgin, the same must hold true for all men, who must be conformed to their first model in all things ("Sketches for a book," 1940).

@Brosephos @AttiaDS @Cinaboncrusader @MrCasey62 @patrickmadrid @Taylor_A_Eaton Massachusetts made you Catholic?

@Cinaboncrusader @MrCasey62 @patrickmadrid @Taylor_A_Eaton These people have to lie. My MA in NT studies made me Catholic.

As @PatrickMadrid’s “Surprised by Truth” book series proves, Protestant converts to the Catholic Church stated they’d read the Bible repeatedly—but with an emphasis on Protestant teachings. Then they read the Bible PROPERLY—in context—& that led them to the Catholic Church.🧵

@GaryColeman5640 @yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro 🤦🏻‍♂️

@CatholicCoachP @yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro No need to be hostile, brother. I'm just trying to say he is an important Father of the Church. Being a Catholic, you have to admit that the Church preexisted the New Testament. St. Paul is a Father, an apostle, and a shepherd before he is a biblical author.

One Church Father/ Saint everyone should read?

@GaryColeman5640 @yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro Lmao No one disrespected St. Paul. The OP wasn’t referring to the Bible and they know this. They play dumb because there’s no one in history they can point to. Who’s your favorite church father? Matthew Mark Luke and John💀

@CatholicCoachP @yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro By the authority of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I’m on your side brother, just don’t let this ragebaiter make you disrespect the Apostle. Everyone should read him. Peace, brother

@GaryColeman5640 @yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro How do you know this?

@CatholicCoachP @yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro He’s a saint and a father of the Church. Everyone should read him

@lessofJonathan @Cinaboncrusader @XCkyro @Brosephos @MrCasey62 @6_percenter @SquareCircle01 @Jason_Catholic @Lex_Ludendi -What’s the capital of the United States? Tennessee. -Wrong. You’ve got a lumpy butt.

Average evangelical communion 🤭🤭

@Reformed_Zoomer W Immaculate Conception.

Thomist? All the cool kids are Scotist now

@ArchangeloRom @kylecorwintakes And Los Angeles😂

@kylecorwintakes Forcing the Red Sox and Celtics to harmonize color scheme would be interesting

Unpopular opinion: Major sports teams in the same city should adopt the same color scheme because it's objectively way better than not

@MattTestifies Christianity is strange to those on the outside looking in.

The people who laugh at golden calves will kiss a rosary, pray to saints, worship celebrities, and devote their lives to money. Idolatry never left. It just learned how to look normal.

@Cinaboncrusader @XCkyro @Brosephos @MrCasey62 @6_percenter @SquareCircle01 @Jason_Catholic @Lex_Ludendi @lessofJonathan Doritos and Mountain Dew are the best apology I’ve heard for evangelicals so far. Not sure about that pastor though 💀

@CatholicCoachP @XCkyro @Brosephos @MrCasey62 @6_percenter @SquareCircle01 @Jason_Catholic @Lex_Ludendi @lessofJonathan And yes this is who you think it is

Do any of these folks realize Thomas lived a long time ago, didn’t have access to the historical sources and analysis we do, & thought the papal forgeries were real?

@MarcheseMethods @GabrielTheValor Just a dad without a webcam lol

@CatholicCoachP @GabrielTheValor Yeah but you’re baste and epic and cool and Chad and alpha and objectively correct so

Found a cringellennial on soystack that unironically calls his publication "The F*CKİNG News" Millennials belong in prison forever

@yesiwetmyplants @Catholic_bro He’s an Apostle, not an Apostolic or early father? But who cares what words mean? Amirite!💀

@Catholic_bro Paul

@whpub The ccc is free online… Christ, the eternal priest and sacrifice, offers himself to the Father.

@CatholicCoachP Why is the liturgical offering in Roman Catholicism called "the sacrifice of the mass"?

Let me tell you how smart Thomas Aquinas wasn't, and therefore how foolish it is to follow him off the cliff. The chief aim of an apologist is to justify his religion, and the centerpiece, the "source and summit" of Roman Catholicism, as it were, is the Eucharist sacrifice. Aquinas was never able to understand the Lord's Supper or justify Rome's liturgy, and Thomas' attempt to justify the Roman liturgy relied on forgeries, novelties, ignorance and guesswork. On Mixed Wine: The ancient church of the first 300 years used mixed wine in the Supper, but did not include the mixing of the wine as part of the liturgy. But Thomas insisted that the mixing MUST be liturgical. In Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 74, Article 6, Aquinas tries to justify liturgical mixing of water with wine, 1) because Proverbs 9:5 refers to mingled wine, 2) because Pope Alexander's first epistle from AD 115 which has since been proven to be a 9th century forgery, 3) because Third Council of Braga (AD 675) cited Cyprian's epistle 62 in which Cyprian criticized the use of water alone, but was not arguing for a liturgical mixing of the cup, and 4) Ambrose's AD 387 treatise on the Sacraments in which Ambrose lays down the requirement for the liturgical mixing of water during the Supper. As I have elsewhere explained, Ambrose was neither catechized nor baptized when he was elected bishop, and admitted that even after he was ordained that he didn't know what he was doing and had to learn the very things he was expected to teach as he was teaching them—a gross violation of the apostolic proscription against elevating a novice to the episcopate (1 Timothy 3:6). Unqualified for the office, Ambrose took it upon himself to write a lengthy treatise on the sacraments. From that treatise, Aquinas tries to argue that Jesus must have mixed the wine himself at the Supper. So, do the math: Aquinas' ridiculous argument for liturgical mixing of water in the wine for the supper is based on Proverbs 9:5 which doesn't speak of liturgical mixing, a forged 9th century letter attributed to a 2nd century "pope," a 7th century council citing Cyprian who was not arguing for liturgical mixing, and the ramblings of an unqualified bishop who decided his novelties needed to be insitutionalized and codified for all time. That's Aquinas' argument for liturgical mixing of the cup during the Supper, something unknown in the first three centuries of Christianity. On the Mass: The "sacrifice of the mass" originates from the Latin "oblationem missa" which literally means "sacrifice of dismissal." It was call the sacrifice of dismissal because the ancient church fenced the tithe offering, prohibiting catechumens, unbelievers, backslidden, heretics and divisive individuals from contributing. Such were dismissed from the service before the collection or offertory, the tithe oblation. The ancient "mass sacrifice" was in fact the tithe offering, not the Supper, and it was called "missa" because many were dismissed *prior* to the offering, not after. But Aquinas did not know this, and if he had, he could never have accepted that the original "mass" sacrifice was the tithe, not the Supper, so he had to thrash about wildly trying to make Rome's late 4th century novelties make sense. Even the Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges that it is not known why "ita missa est" was included in the liturgy: "The medieval commentators were much exercised to explain the meaning of the strange expression. ... Before it became the technical name of the holy Liturgy in the Roman Rite, it meant simply 'dismissal'." (Catholic Encyclopedia, "Ite Missa Est"). Aquinas, too, was "much exercised" to explain it. Dismissal kinda means sent, he thought, so maybe it's because the priest "sends" his prayers up? Maybe its because Christ was "sent" to us? Maybe its because the people are dismissed after the sacrifice? Maybe its because the sacrifice is "sent" to God? Here's Aquinas wallowing in the etymological mire trying to figure out what the heck it means, but never landing on the ACTUAL meaning of the term: "And from this the mass derives its name [missa]; because the priest sends [mittit] his prayers up to God through the angel, as the people do through the priest. or else because Christ is the victim sent [missa] to us: accordingly the deacon on festival days "dismisses" the people at the end of the mass, by saying: "Ite, missa est," that is, the victim has been sent [missa est] to God through the angel, so that it may be accepted by God." (Treatise on the Sacraments, Q83, art 4, Reply to Objection 9). So there's Aquinas, the chief doctor/apologist of the Roman religion, unable to validly explain THE CENTRAL THING about Roman Catholicism: the Sacrifice of the Mass. And such incompetent ramblings and altogether unimpressive reasoning as these from Thomas became Ryan Hurd's justification for chasing him off the cliff. Let me just say in conclusion that I am equally impressed with them both.

@Jason_Catholic Thanks for the shoutout and kindness Jason but please don’t recommend us again. We’ve seen your twitter and we want to distance ourselves from you until you learn to act right.

My advice to new converts, if you want to learn the faith and be able to effectively dominate cradles in debates, watch the Tex-Cathedra Podcast (formerly known as Trad Men Podcast). Those guys are legends.

@MarcheseMethods @GabrielTheValor I’m on the old end of millennial. Idk if that’s good or bad lol

@CatholicCoachP @GabrielTheValor You can stay you’re one of the good ones

@MarcheseMethods @GabrielTheValor Can I keep my phone in prison? 😂
