France made Nic Nacs illegal... remember that during the rest of this World Cup.

The SSPX filed its appeal with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on July 11, arguing that under canon law the move suspends the decree declaring it in schism.

Ayyyy! Thats Br Francisco Whitaker! He was at the Creator Conference last year. Dude is freakin jacked. I made a joke a gently hit his shoulder and it was like a brick wall under that habit. When I made a comment about it. He went “bro, all I do is pray and work out. What did you expect?”

We had a visiting priest who was just passing through do Mass today. He is from Nigeria but is currently in the Archdiocese of Baltimore doing chaplaincy at a major hospital. I was shocked to hear him say he has multiple times had someone refuse Last Rites from a black priest

I see. I’m going to list a few questions and answers just to show my thought process. Let me know where exactly I get off track.
Churches as a whole. Bound spiritually together, but without a visible marker.
Q: How can one identify a church that belongs to the whole?
A: By their teachings and how close they adhere to Scripture
Q: Plenty of churches claim to adhere to Scripture. Including the Jehovah Witnesses that deny the divinity of Christ. How are we to judge which ones are most closely adhering to the Bible?
A: The core/essential doctrines (e.g. The Trinity, Divinity of Christ, the Bodily Resurrection, etc) need to be present.
This leads me to my actual question:
Even among churches that agree on the essentials, there are major disagreements on what actually counts as sin (for example, divorce and remarriage). In today’s America you can find churches that will affirm almost any position and still claim to be biblical.
When this is the case, how do we actually carry out the process Jesus describes in Matthew 18:15-17? Which church counts as ‘the church’ we’re supposed to bring the matter to, and whose judgment is supposed to be binding?
English
There’s a key difference in using the word founded vs building, one is less likely to interpret it as a singular visible institution if they believe it’s still being built. RCs and Orthos often use the phrase “Christ gave you a church” which makes it seem like it’s complete.
1 Tim 3:15 context is qualifications of church offices and how people should behave in the “household of God”, what I believe he means is that the Christian church is meant to support, maintain and defend the truth of God to the world. One should take great care in these matters as it holds great responsibility. He’s not talking about one specific church, but all Christian churches as a whole.
English
Serious question.
If the early Christians had the wrong Church, wrong sacraments, wrong authority, and wrong doctrine, when did Christianity stop being what Christ founded?

@SirNathan52 @TiffaniMarie483 The crazy thing in all of this is that we all seem to be on the same page that permanent standard time is best… and yet, that’s the measure that has the least steam
English
@TiffaniMarie483 @CatholicKyle Changing it twice a year is preferable to permanent DST.
English
Permanent standard time makes more sense, but permanent DST is preferable to changing the clocks twice a year

House is expected to vote next week on a bill to make daylight savings time permanent.
English
Ok, that makes sense. I guess in this context, founding and building mean close enough to the same thing since Jesus is also identifying the foundation of that building (which, we’re not going to get into right now).
How does this reconcile to 1 Tim 3:15? After instructing Timothy on how to select leaders in the church, he calls the church the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
English
Yes that’s my belief
Matthew 16 just says church. Doesn’t indicate visible or otherwise. This is why you should be looking at other passages to help define it.
Jesus did not say that he would “found” a church in Matthew 16, he promised to build one. This church is still currently being built. Look at Peter’s language, “you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:5)
English
If you think this is a defeater, I have a bridge to sell you. Guys like Mike Gendron could be forgiven in a pre-Internet age, but he spouts off error on the most basic of Catholic truths. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to what he says, and then compare it to what it says in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
English
John Henry Newman was a leader of the Oxford Movement, which claimed apostolic succession for Anglicanism. Yet in 1845, he asked a traveling Italian priest to receive him into the Catholic Church. He set out to prove Rome wrong. His own research did the opposite.
English
Sure, that’s fair.
I guess what I’m getting at is the context of what Jesus was founding in Matthew 16. To be clear, this has nothing to do with Peter’s role. That’s a completely separate topic.
Because, unless I’m misunderstanding, that church that Jesus is founding is what you would call the body of all believers or “people of God”
Is that a fair representation?

@Fr_RonPG @rickbrennanjr Only the first three? My guess would be that it would have been at least until the invention of the printing press. But, you’d probably know better than me.
English
@rickbrennanjr “…most Catholics primarily encounter Scripture through the readings at Mass and rarely study it consistently on their own.”
This was the exact experience of the early Christians in the first three centuries.
English
The evidence is clear that some Catholics can—and do—read and study the Bible. But after growing up Catholic and interacting with Catholics for more than fifty years since becoming Protestant, my experience is that most Catholics primarily encounter Scripture through the readings at Mass and rarely study it consistently on their own. When researchers ask why, we find that the Mass and the Eucharist occupy the central place in Catholic devotional life. In Protestantism, especially evangelical Protestantism, the preached and studied Word is central, so regular personal Bible reading is more deeply embedded in the culture.
Evidence of this can can be found in scholarly survey data. For instance, Pew Research found that evangelical Protestants are far more likely than Catholics to read Scripture outside worship at least weekly; in one comparison, 63 percent of evangelicals did so, while the Catholic figure was much lower. Then, among Hispanic Christians, Pew found Protestants were twice as likely as Catholics to read Scripture regularly outside services, 67 percent to 33 percent. So this is not an insult. It is a measurable difference in the devotional priorities of the two faith traditions.

@rickbrennanjr I think the point is that Scott Hahn directly refutes the point made by the post that Casey was responding to. Us Catholics are told all the time that if we just “read and study the Bible” we won’t be Catholic anymore yet there are countless examples counter to that.
English
@rickbrennanjr I suppose this might have to do with the fact that the praxis of Catholicism predates the existence of the printing press, while the same cannot be said about Protestantism. Bible studies aren’t exactly a part of our DNA, but they’re the furthest thing from bad.
English
@JosephR04445197 @Vitus_osst Nah. Unless you’re royalty and the lack of an heir will cause a war, your family line isn’t that important. Your family line is going to end one day, regardless. If it ends because your sons become priests, then what a glorious way for it to end.
English
@Vitus_osst Matters if the family line will end or not.
I have many nephews and many children.

Would you allow your only child or son to become a Priest if he wants to ?

@realtjhaines @TD_Barrett “What we need at the parish level isn't necessarily more "tradition." It's more culture.”
This. Straight into my veins.
English
I'm sympathetic to what sincere traditionalists are feeling and expressing. My personal observation is this: What we need at the parish level isn't necessarily more "tradition." It's more culture. We need more of the traditional trappings, we need smells and bells, we need more traditional devotions and so on. At the heart of it, I think that's what's most attractive about the traditional Latin Mass…It's loaded with Catholic culture, by nature. The Novus Ordo I grew up with was also loaded with Catholic culture. Where I grew up, the parishes didn't suffer from the minimalism of the 70s.
Culture is extremely important to the formation and preservation of identity. If the Catholic experience is emptied of Catholic culture, we are starving Catholic identity. And I think that is what traditionalists are reacting to. It’s not liturgical abuse or anything else. They probably only think that it is. but I think it's something much more fundamental. Not everyone needs dense Catholic culture, but I think everyone needs it to be somewhat present.
A reasonable restoration or addition of Catholic culture would be a boon for the church in general and at the local parish level. I do see it making a gradual return, so that gives me hope.
English
Sorrry. I truly love the Archbishop but you will never get me to back a statement implying the Novus Ordo is deficient of “the tradition”
I echo his calling for more access to the TLM but not for the reasons he states.
Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone@ArchCordileone
We need more access to the traditional Latin Mass for the faithful but also more reverent Novus Ordo Masses inspired by the tradition.

@azali_bolingo @LateHaveILoved @FrMatthewLC “I deserve to wear the cross more than you.”
I’ve never seen such a brazen “holier than thou” attitude on this platform before. I mean, at least the dissident right try and hide it and dress it up in a humble veneer.
English
@LateHaveILoved @FrMatthewLC No thanks. I deserve to wear the cross more than you. For many reasons. 1 being I accept the Christian obligation to protect the downtrodden from those who would oppress them. Like those who want to subjugate women by violently stripping them of reproductive freedom
