I renew my invitation for everyone to join me for the Prayer Vigil for Peace, which we will celebrate in St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, April 11, at 6:00 PM Rome time. #PrayTogether #Peace

NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address. Leo used the address to denounce a world ruled by “a diplomacy based on force” and “zeal for war.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

@BrilynHollyhand Update?

So now that Iran just caved and agreed to not only open the Strait of Hormuz, but also agreed to a double sided ceasefire, I assume all of those attacking President Trump will admit they were wrong, right?

@glennbeck Nothing is worth sacrificing the salvation of your soul.

There's only one thing that could actually stop us from beating Iran: the fracturing of the American people. I understand not wanting war. However, we're in one right now. So, I'd prefer to win. Sadly, it seems like a lot of Americans would rather Iran win. And some even seem to agree with the religious zealots in Iran who wake up every day and pray for the destruction of the West. This is LUNACY.

@cryptokonanz @MechaNews_ The day is young

@MechaNews_ Not reflected in the price buddy

🚨 OFFICIAL The ceasefire is officially broken. As I warned you a few hours ago.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach It is a continual sacrifice that we may all participate in.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach You can actually have the Eucharist at almost any time of the year, anywhere on earth. So long as there’s a priest to perform the consecration.

“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jews said it in John 6. Protestants still say it.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach He even called it that some people would find it too hard to believe (you) 😂

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach When he says the flesh profits nothing, he means that the power in the Eucharist is not just the fact that it’s flesh, but rather that it’s the holy and pure flesh of the Son of God.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach The people at the time who heard him in person understood him the Catholic way. At a certain point you’re just being contrarian on purpose. Not sure why you’d withhold yourself from partaking of our Lord… weird flex tbh.

60 So then many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This statement is very unpleasant; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Is this offensive to you? 62 What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray Him. Every Catholic argument falls apart when you prevent them from cherry picking verses. Jesus himself explained. I don't need men to tell me Jesus meant something contrary to what he said he meant.

@TommyTmm15 @Dante1824188563 @BRICSinfo @grok That’s pretty fucked up yo

@Dante1824188563 @BRICSinfo @grok can you analyze this idiot's past post and comments and tell me if there are signs of depression, childhood abuse or/and psycho

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran told Pakistan it "believed it was winning" before cutting off US diplomacy, claiming it still has 15,000 missiles and 45,000 drones, WSJ reports.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach And the Word was made flesh.

@CookiesAndCason @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach He's saying to consume his words as one would the paschal lamb. He is The Word. Consume him and you will have life.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach So when he says his words are spirit and life, he means “I’m telling you about the power of the Spirit in the sacrifice I’m about to make for you. Eat my flesh and drink my blood as you would the pascal lamb. Through this you and I will be one, as I am one with the Father.”

@CookiesAndCason @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach None of that is in question or debate here.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach Jesus is one with the Spirit and with the Father. His flesh is not banal flesh; it is the Spirit itself as the Son of God. His flesh is alone holy and pure, worthy to be sacrificed to God on our behalf for our redemption.

You are right he couldn't have been more clear. 62 What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. It's clear as day. Jesus is The Word, he said his words "are spirit and are life", he said the bread is his flesh, he said the bread is his body broken for us, he said the wine is his blood, he said the wine is his blood shed to seal the new covenant. He said partake in communion in remembrance of these things. When you read scripture as a single unified body you aren't left feeling you need enlightened clearly to divine the esoteric meanings.

@DoctrineAudit @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach Face value is the way it was understood both by the Jews *in the passage* and the way believers have understood them directly afterwards and ever since. The first time I read that passage I was shocked by how direct it is. He could not be more clear.

@CookiesAndCason @Beautiefighter @MikeBishop85062 @BillArnoldTeach You can read the words and believe them, or you can trick yourself into believing the words support your preconceived notions. I choose to read the words and take them at face value. God's Word is not esoteric.

Yes, brother. Jesus tells us that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood, literally. It’s a continual pascal sacrifice for us and our salvation. In the passage you quote, he’s basically saying “if you don’t believe that I can make my body and blood available to you to eat of, how can you believe that I am one with God and will rise up in Glory into Heaven?”.

Brother, the argument is that when you take communion you are consuming his literal flesh and blood. That's not the case. You don't remember something you are currently doing. You remember something that happened in the past. His body was broken and his blood shed to seal a new covenant. So we take communion to remember that. We aren't literally eating his flesh and drinking his blood which Catholicism teaches.

@womenpostingws Why did I start crying after reading this? That girl just needs someone to lift her up who isn’t obligated to.
