Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

Still feels like Lizzie and you are going for a cheap ‘gotcha’ because the chants are in Latin. Latin became the West’s liturgical language precisely because it was the vernacular when the Roman Rite developed. It stayed because it unites the Church across continents and centuries. So of course the oldest songs will be in Latin.

@ReasonedFaith_ The reformers here are referencing broadly unintelligible tongues including Latin, not charismatic claimed heavenly speaking in tongues.

Politics is downstream from culture. Culture is downstream from religion. Jesus Christ is first. Make sure your priorities are right.

Christ calls us to freedom. He does not want servants or clients, rather He seeks brothers and sisters to whom He can totally dedicate Himself. To respond with faith to this love, it is not enough to hear Jesus speak: we must accept the meaning of His words. It is not enough even to just observe what Jesus does: we must follow and imitate Him. #ApostolicJourney #Angola vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@not_our_guy I don’t know what that dude is on about but Catholics consider the OT to be Canon, inspired, and infallible.

@crawlings13 I would rather have Gays in church living Christian lifestyle rather than sinfully sodomizing each other, yes.

This crowd is whiter than an Abercrombie store despite being in the most vibrantly diverse city in the world. You can call that a lot of things, but "cool" is not really among them.

Wrong. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass IS Catholic moral teaching. It is the source and summit of the entire Christian life (CCC 1324). Every saint and every pope of the Church has thundered that there is nothing more important than getting souls to the altar even if they’re not perfect yet.

@ReasonedFaith_ @PDavidCMcGuire @peterpeccavi One sentence, and you got it completely wrong. There is no way you have done your homework on this. But then again, I should remind you, I do not take Bible lessons from those who admit their lack of qualifications to give one.

Peter
Peter@peterpeccavi·
If Peter is the first Pope, why is it that he never “venerates” Mary? I ask because if Rome stands on Peter, then Peter’s silence matters. And if Rome stands on apostolic tradition, then the apostles’ silence matters. Let’s look at Peter first. We don’t need tradition about him. We have his written testimony. Peter’s preaching is recorded in detail in places like Acts 2, 3, and 10. His focus is relentlessly on Christ--His life, death, resurrection, and lordship. Mary is never invoked, addressed, or presented as an object of devotion. Not once. When Mary does appear, like in Acts 1:14, she’s simply counted among the believers praying. She’s not singled out, not exalted, not approached. She’s *in* the Church, not over it. In Peter’s own letters, there is zero Marian language. No appeal to her, no special honor, no hint of intercession. For someone supposedly establishing a pattern of Marian veneration, his silence is deafening. This all lines up with the broader New Testament witness. When a woman in the crowd tries to elevate Jesus’ mother, Christ redirects the blessing to those who hear and obey the Word (Luke 11:27-28). The emphasis consistently moves away from biological proximity toward faith and obedience. Now widen the lens across the apostles as a whole. In their preaching, in their letters, and in their instruction to the churches, there is no instance of Marian veneration as it is later defined in Roman Catholic practice. No invocation. No devotional address. No liturgical pattern. Nothing that even approximates it. That matters, because doctrine doesn’t emerge ex nihlio. It emerges from what is taught, practiced, and handed down within the apostolic witness. And here the pattern is not mixed or ambiguous. It is uniformly Christ focused and entirely silent on Marian veneration. So the question is not whether one can locate a verse that explicitly forbids it. The question is whether there is any positive apostolic pattern that gives it warrant in the first place. And when the entire apostolic record is taken together, the answer is that there is none. So here again is the papist dilemma: If your standard is Peter, then your first pope never practiced it. If your standard is apostolic tradition, then the apostles never transmitted it. Either way, it’s not grounded in the apostolic witness. It’s something that shows up later and then gets read backward into texts that never contained it. Which is error. And that’s the point. Not that silence alone proves falsity, but that the total apostolic pattern gives no positive warrant for it. Marian dogma is none other than idolatrous deception. Repent.
