The Church affirms the possibility of salvation outside visible communion. If anyone’s got a shot, it’s Beethoven. Mass in C major might as well count as a few indulgences. Skip purgatory and straight to the beatific vision to conduct the heavenly orchestra after those bangers.

@willchamberlain I can see it, Lord knows all the Zionism is pushing me.

Really starting to feel like all the anti-semitism out there is turning me into a Zionist

@RBPundit I’ll play! As a Catholic, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you to shut the fuck up. At least tag him next time. It’s pretty gay to whine from behind a screenshot.

As a Catholic, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell Jack Posobiec to shut the fuck up.

Enjoy!

@lafe_the_harris @Bronzeagemormon You’re very welcome, random internet stranger projecting your insecurities. God bless.

@856485J @Bronzeagemormon Yes, random guy on the internet! Your opinion and smarmy attitude have changed my heart! Thank you so much!

In 15 years both the Orthodox and Catholic Churches will add Joseph Smith to their pantheon of venerated saints

@lafe_the_harris @Bronzeagemormon It is possible to look at an individuals life and works to determine the likely outcome of the same. If you think that’s judging someone’s eternal fate I understand why you have fallen for the charlatans ruse. I pray this changes and you turn to Christ and his Church.

@856485J @Bronzeagemormon That's so weird how you just judged someone's eternal fate as if you are the judge.

@DefiyantlyFree @JoelWBerry @MaxNordau Political power the Evangelical Zionist morons are quickly losing. Keep up the good work, how about another AI article to keep the push going.

Yup. You have 15 “influencers” who started this and they want to make it the Catholic v. Protestant wars and they claim speak for all Catholics. And if you push back they pretend to be victims. It’s nonsense. This has nothing to do with Catholics. It has everything to do with political power.

I’ve been an evangelical Christian conservative my whole life, and I’ve worked with godly Catholics to fight for the unborn. This much is clear: the lunatics who’ve been Catholic for 3 months, who are trying to use the cross to sanctify their Jew hate, aren’t real Catholics.

@JoelWBerry Glad Pope Joel gets to decide what makes a Catholic authentic… Probably best if you stick to your failed attempts at comedy and defending Zionism. At least the you do some good by pushing anyone sane to Christs Church.

@two85ATC250 Do you even know what communism is?

He's right. Ron Paulers like Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods, Scott Horton etc etc are part of the communist geopolitical ecosystem that are trying to undermine and ultimately bring down the US system.

@ScottRoberts Of course, everyone knows the Pope is only the visible head of the Church Militant.

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, not the Pope.

@Hoopztarot Retarded take. I’ll blame your ex though, you must have brain damage to think this way. I hope you heal and gain your cognitive function back soon.

As a DV survivor myself, this is clearly reactive abuse on her end. NOT excusing her behavior whatsoever cause she is wrong, but he is calculating af selling this to TMZ 3 years later.

@MattTestifies Was Muhammad a fraud?

If Joseph Smith was a fraud, you still have to explain the Book of Mormon, the doctrine, the witnesses, the fruit, and the staying power.

@GmorganJr Strange things happen when we see how Israel is continuously causing problems America has to fix. Some of us are tired of being lied into wars our country can’t afford. Israel may not be our greatest enemy, but with friends like them who even needs enemies.

First it was “I don’t like Israeli influence in our gov’t” a position I also hold. Now it is this, “Israel is our Greatest Enemy” This doesn’t end well if we keep up this trajectory. It won’t be the much needed reset in our relationship with Israel. It will be another pogrom.

@RandomLDS Our Lord has shown intolerance for false or distorted worship, both of Him and when wrongly given to false gods. Making fun of or belittling the person for incorrect beliefs isn’t okay, but mocking the fake religion itself is surely righteous.

If you think it’s”Christian” to mock someone’s sincerely held religious beliefs, then, yeah… I worship a different Jesus than you.

@Joseph_Spurgeon It’s perfectly fine to admit you are unable to understand the distinctions you seemingly abhor, but your inability to think through them does not dishonesty make. I bray your mind be loosed from the chains of protest.

Roman Catholics use theological word games to excuse what is, in practice, idolatry. They pray to Mary, assign her titles like Mediatrix, speak of her as though she plays a role in distributing grace, bow before her images, kiss her statues, and then try to shame Protestants by saying we simply do not honor Mary enough. That argument is dishonest. The issue is not whether Mary should be honored. Of course she should be honored. She was blessed among women, chosen by God for a unique role in redemptive history, and she should be regarded with respect. The issue is that Rome takes honor and turns it into religious devotion. Then comes the verbal trick. Roman Catholics insist that this is not worship in the highest sense. They draw fine-spun distinctions between latria, the worship due to God alone, and dulia or hyperdulia, the veneration they claim to give to saints and Mary. But this is exactly where the sophistry comes in. They are using equivocation. They take acts that look like worship, function like worship, and belong to the sphere of worship, then shield them with a different label and pretend the label changes the substance. If a man bows before an image, kisses it, offers prayers, asks for supernatural aid, and attributes to that figure an ongoing heavenly role in distributing grace, he is engaged in religious devotion. Calling it “veneration” instead of “worship” does not solve the problem. It is a verbal escape hatch. It is special pleading dressed up as theology. And it gets worse. Rome wants to say that Protestants are failing to honor Mary unless we join them in these practices. But that is a false standard from the start. Scripture nowhere teaches believers to pray to Mary, seek Mary’s intercession, bow before her images, or treat her as a heavenly mediatrix. So Rome first invents a category of devotion Scripture does not authorize, then condemns Protestants for refusing to participate in it. God repeatedly warned His people against idolatry, and idolaters regularly claimed they were still honoring Him. The golden calf was not presented as a rejection of Yahweh. It was presented as a way of worshiping Him. That is what makes idolatry so deceitful. It does not always announce itself as open rebellion. Very often it presents itself as devotion, reverence, beauty, and honor. But God does not accept worship that violates His word. The same principle applies here. You do not honor Mary by giving her the kind of religious attention, prayer, and devotion that belong to God alone. You do not honor her by placing her in a role Scripture reserves for Christ. Jesus Christ is the one mediator between God and man. Not the highest mediator among lesser mediators. Not the central mediator who shares that office with His mother. He is the one mediator. Mary is not dishonored by refusing to treat her like a quasi-mediatorial figure. She is dishonored when men make her the center of a devotional system that distracts from the sufficiency of her Son. Rome says Protestants do not honor Mary enough. The truth is that Rome exalts Mary in a way God does not permit, and then baptizes that excess with technical vocabulary.

@KevinMcGannMD @CharlesTingler Have you followed Charles’s journey at all? Even a quick peek at his timeline would tell you he is not ready to accept the truths of the faith. I pray that he settles in, learns, and submits himself to the Church’s authority but that day likely isn’t today.

@CharlesTingler Email? No. Call the Church office and sign up for RCIA class. You do not need permission from any priest. It’s simple. Learn the Faith and come home. You can not be denied. It’s not the priest to bring you in anyway. The local Bishop does a Mass.

I emailed the Catholic priest and asked if he would still be willing to bring me into the fullness of the Catholic Church for Easter Vigil. I'll let you know what he says, if he says anything at all.

@LoomerUnleashed @TheCharlesDowns @j_fishback Hilarious, Fishback made Charles look foolish. Even better, Loomer thought this would play well. Next time if you are trying to find pedos just throw a rock in Israel, you are bound to hit one.

Florida “Republican” gubernatorial candidate James Fishback refused to apologize to President Trump and say he was a great President after @TheCharlesDowns pressed him on his lies about the Trump administration and Fishback’s claim that Trump is “covering up the Epstein files” and “protecting pedophiles.” Fishback became uncomfortable when we brought up his history of allegedly dating underage high school girls. Fishback is a Trump-hater who would probably fare much better in the Florida Democrat primary than the Republican primary.

@DNIGabbard The question is, would you have done the same with the same information?

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

@redeemed_zoomer We wuz Protestant

"Presbytery not Prelacy" by Thomas Smyth makes a good case that the church founded by St. Patrick was closer to Presbyterianism than Roman Catholicism

@MestizoBobbyHil @ComicDaveSmith @an_capitalist No, I’m saying you need to read more than a single verse to understand what is being said. The context is essential to understand the plain reading of the text.

@856485J @ComicDaveSmith @an_capitalist You're saying that the context matters over the basic reading, which is stupid.

You use that lame ass moniker because you Mossad guys always try to discredit the person because it’s all you have. Keep going, I enjoy watching you get exposed. Here’s the brilliant @an_capitalist dismantling your bs. x.com/an_capitalist/…
