@MrsCathComedy What is stopping you from throwing giant baptism or confirmation parties?

Question: Why is marriage or sometimes holy orders the only sacrament that we celebrate with a giant party and invite everyone we know to? Why don't we do this with baptism and confirmation? They are both once in a lifetime sacraments too.

@VadeadIesum 83% of Catholics fail to attend Mass every Sunday, but you have decided to criticize those who are there instead of educating those committing grave sin. Interesting.

Do NOT pray the rosary during mass. This is inappropriate and against church teaching.

@MaryLTrump So Biden should not have been able to sign the automatic selective service registration that just went into effect?

Draft-dodging presidents should not have the power to impose the draft.

@UcheMaryOkoli Funerals and Requiem Masses in the TLM

Can I have your attention, please???? Can anyone kindly explain to me why our priests don't wear black chasubles??? These priests in this photo look so damn good on these black chasubles. Why can't our priests wear black chasubles???

@Joseph_Spurgeon If every person is qualified to interpret the Bible for him/herself, why do protestants have sermons? Why not just read scripture and move on?

Roman Catholics are always telling me sola scriptura is not in the Bible. That is cute. I thought you people were not supposed to interpret the Bible for yourselves. I thought that was the whole speech. The ordinary Christian cannot rightly understand Scripture. The individual believer is not authorized to settle doctrine. You need the church. You need the magisterium. You need Rome. And yet, somehow, every Roman Catholic on the internet becomes a one man magisterium the second he wants to tell a Protestant what the Bible “really says.” So here is my new rule: I do not take Bible lessons from people who insist they are not competent or authorized to give them.

@Martina Why MAGA votes since this happened in 2024 and was signed into law by President Biden?

Good to know, right MAGA voters??? HAPPY NOW? You voted for this?

@Martina @insatiablevine Automatically register only men to vote? OK, your terms are acceptable

@insatiablevine Why not for voting too? Nice argument you have though…

@LeftyWinter You should immigrate for that amazing Mexican health care

Mexico getting universal healthcare before America is embarrassing. Israel has universal healthcare and America doesn't. Every major democracy around the world has some form of universal healthcare. Not America.

@ChristopherHale Already knew that you were a liar, so...

Devout Catholics in the MAGA movement are learning, many for the first time, how much their political allies despise the faith.

@RetroCoast Please rewrite your first sentence in active voice. Who confirmed?

The "rescue" of the F-15 pilot has been confirmed as 100% fake. It never happened. Why did the Pentagon lie to the American people?

@ShawnRyan762 @ShawnRyan762 you got worked. Need to be less gullible

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side. They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will. So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican? thedailybeast.com/trump-official…

@sadgirlyboss the problem is that all of those feasts are supposed to be preceded by fasts, but ain't nobody got time for that in the last 60 years.

people call the church “rigid,” but no one parties like catholics. we literally have entire seasons dedicated to feasting. also... catholic wedding receptions? unmatched.

@ImBreckWorsham the threat that never existed? LMFAO

Pope Leo XIV is reportedly considering excommunicating VP Vance from the Catholic Church after the Trump administration's thinly veiled threat toward the Vatican. Thoughts?

@neorecusant Gotta get those Omega 3s in!!!

You guys have no idea how weird the average guy working in the SCIF really is

@Catholic_Ham @PaulinusOfTrier Many Catholics mistakenly believe that all temporal punishment for sins is remitted without detachment from sins on Divine Mercy Sunday, so we should probably get rid of it.

@PaulinusOfTrier How many realize the Church did that because Catholics were mistakenly believing this minor absolution absolved from grave sin (which it doesn’t)? They wanted to highlight the need from sacramental absolution of mortal sins.

How many Catholics who go to the modern Mass are aware that the absolution has been removed?

@ChristopherHale @KindeandTrue Keep backpedaling

BREAKING: A “Vatican source close to Pope Leo XIV” tells NBC Chicago that the Pentagon meeting between Trump officials and the Vatican’s top American diplomat “was most unpleasant and confrontational.” This is now the fourth news outlet to describe the meeting in this way.

@Catholic_Ham @DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier Right. Bugnini was a hero. That's why P6 sent him to Tehran

@DHiddenness @PaulinusOfTrier As much as trads want to make Bugnini some boogeyman, the majority of consulting bishops asked for this and the Church went with their rationale and proposals.

@Catholic_Ham @PaulinusOfTrier Says right in my missal that it absolves venial sins

@AngryBritbong @MichaelARothman Iran doesn't control the SoH. They can deny it, but the US can also deny the SoH

@MichaelARothman Usa doesn't control Hormuz, Iran does and there's fuck all USA can do about it..Venezuelan oil is low quality and expensive to refine and years away from being available at scale. So yeah, low iq analysis.

It’s about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 — and America is winning on every front. Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela’s oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: “𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯.

Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the “𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰,” Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬.

When a foreign ally’s own news anchors are publicly acknowledging that Trump’s strategy is working — even as it leaves them behind — that tells you everything about who has the leverage.

@cornucopia11 @PetriOP @Joeinblack jailing people is very humane compared to alternatives

@PetriOP @Joeinblack What about a government that puts humans in cages?? Haven’t seen anything on your feed condemning this.

A state that burdens religious sisters caring for the dying poor has lost its moral bearings.
