What is "good"? newadvent.org/cathen/06636b.…

@Tradalachian @christopherrufo @MHTSeminary No, Mgr. Fenton would rebuke the Church for teaching that non-Catholics of good will "can" (not "will") be saved. Bishop Barron is only echoing the Church.

Barron has reduced the dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church to utter meaninglessness, as Pope Pius XII warned and lamented 68 years ago: "Some reduce to a meaningless formula the necessity of belonging to the true Church in order to gain eternal salvation" (Encyclical Humani Generis, n. 27). Were the great Mgr. Joseph C. Fenton still alive, he would rebuke Barron for trying to "restrict the meaning of the Church's necessity for salvation to the fact that the gifts of grace whereby a man actually achieves salvation really belong to the Church" (The Catholic Church and Salvation, Imprimatur 1958).

When it comes to Catholicism, I trust Bishop Barron more than Candace Owens and Carrie Prejean Boller

@Tradalachian @christopherrufo @MHTSeminary Do those contradict Nostra Aetate 16 and Romans 2?

Barron's thesis runs afoul of the following two errors condemned by Pope Pius IX: [CONDEMNED:] Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation. [CONDEMNED:] Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ. —Pope Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, nn. 16-17.

@BlackwellLuke6 @megha_lilly @SarcasmStardust In the same way evil comes from the good, right?

@megha_lilly @SarcasmStardust False dialectic. Modern Neoliberalism comes from Christianity, we never had this degeneracy and chaos in Ancient Rome

A lot of women who are maternal, kind and good but simply do not feel called to be wives and mothers, would make amazing nuns. Society needs more nuns. They were once a cornerstone of a good society.

@Tradalachian @christopherrufo @MHTSeminary In that interview, he followed up the statement by an explanation of what he meant: that someone outside the explicit Christian faith can be saved but through the grace of Christ indirectly received.

@christopherrufo Bishop Donald J. Sanborn of @MHTSeminary covers the infamous Barron/Shapiro interview in which Barron erroneously refers to Christ as a "privileged route" of salvation. Learn the real Catholic position: youtu.be/CLpug8We_hs?si…

@breeadail @aimeenjack @RealCandaceO I don't see how this supports your claim that a baptized adult convert is not Catholic until Confirmation.

CCC §1285 (continued) “For ‘by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit…’” CCC §1306 “Every baptized person not yet confirmed can and should receive the sacrament of Confirmation.” CCC §1308 “Although Confirmation is sometimes called the ‘sacrament of Christian maturity,’ we must not confuse adult faith with the adult age of natural growth… Baptismal grace is a grace of free, unmerited election and does not need ‘ratification’ to become effective.”

I have questions. An adult neophyte, in the Roman Catholic Church, you are accepted as into the Church with ALL the Sacraments: Baptism (if you’ve not been validly Baptized), Confession, First Communion AND Confirmation at the same time. @RealCandaceO has just said she has not been Confirmed, and will be after Easter. Ergo…all this time, Candace has been speaking, representing herself “as a Catholic”, she has NOT been a Catholic. Intention to convert (Order of Christian Initiation) is not the same thing as BEING a Catholic. Honestly, I am shocked that @LondonOrat has remained silent. That her Bishop, @DioceseNashville has not addressed this. @michaeljknowles, did you know this?

@breeadail @aimeenjack @RealCandaceO Can we find what you're saying in any Church document?

@aimeenjack @RealCandaceO He’s her close friend, and I asked him if he knew this, as she continued to claim she was Catholic.

@oandreycosta @ContextFootie @Oluchiisxn That is true.

@ContextFootie @Oluchiisxn That's not true.

He’s the meanest kindest man ever🥹

@_LukeCSkywalker @DefiantLs Toxic masculinity 👍

@DefiantLs Um, why not get the 3 year old from the window ledge they're hanging onto? Seems like it would be a lot easier and safer to pull them up by their arms.

Man climbs out the window of his eighth-floor apartment to rescue a three-year-old girl

@ThomasDierson @Fitz_Farseer @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad Which sect was excommunicated, and by whom?

@ChiefValerian @Fitz_Farseer @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad There were 2 different groups (3 if you want to split hairs). 1. Orthodox Trinitarians 2. Arians 3. Semi-Arians (moderate subgroup of #2) (Arians & Semi-Arians together made up less than 1/3 of the Council)

Exactly zero apostles prayed to Mary.

@Fitz_Farseer @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad How many religious sects were there at the Council of Nicaea?

@ChiefValerian @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad The answer to who excommunicates would be based upon the organizational rules of whatever religion sect the argument is taking place in. I also find it very sad that you don’t think knowledge from God constitutes true knowledge. How lacking your relationship with God must be…

@AlaskaBird__ Putting nation before God is idolatrous.

If your Catholicism is more important to you than America, go to Italy. We should start accusing Temu Catholics of having duel loyalty.

@Balderdash543 @KaeleyT @onegospel2021 So the anti's were too busy to escape their oppression, right?

@ChiefValerian @KaeleyT @onegospel2021 Also that poll proves nothing other than busy moms didn't care about a school board poll. Men have lower voter turnout than women. Does that mean men don't want the right to vote at all?

Never underestimate the ability of the worst people on planet earth to catapult themselves to crazy influence. The Wilsons are not righteous people, and they wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them upside the head with a 2x4. Feminism emerged in America because desperate women were locked into abusive marriages to alcoholic men dealing with trauma from the war. Marxism had very little to do with it.

@Balderdash543 @KaeleyT @onegospel2021 Many anti-suffragists such as Catharine Beecher (sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin), Almira Lincoln Phelps & others strongly supported abolition. So anti-suffragists weren't a monolithic group of "wealthy women who just didn't want poor people to vote."

@ChiefValerian @KaeleyT @onegospel2021 The anti-suffragists also opposed abolition. They were wealthy women who just didn't want poor people to vote because they could exercise power through their husbands

@deaidras @TGrudi @MassimoFaggioli You're not familiar with his works if you think he has expressed any views that's contrary to Catholic Social Teaching.

@TGrudi @MassimoFaggioli He truly needs to be defrocked. He preaches a false interpretation of our faith that denies Catholic Social Teaching and defies the guidance of the Magesterium.

Despite the fact that St. Pat was enslaved and taken to another country, Barron thinks that it's a "woke cliche" to highlight the importance his life has for migrants and those who have been human trafficked. And we are to believe he is serious about the Rel liberty of migrants.

@OTG_Disciple @KaeleyT First wave feminism was largely a product of liberal individualism, not Marxism. Marxism however became more influential in 2nd wave feminism (1960s–1980s) with the Socialist/Marxist feminism that linked women's oppression to capitalism.

@KaeleyT I granted you that abusive men were a catalyst to the genesis of feminism. I'm saying it's silly to believe marxist ideology has never co-opted or exacerbated feminism at any point from 'women's suffrage' to, in part, help produce present day 'women can literally be men'.

@KaeleyT @onegospel2021 Massachusetts was home to leading suffrage advocates, and it was also one of the first states with an organized anti-suffrage group.

@onegospel2021 Study the history. I’m not wrong

@CaptainGrant144 @BreeSolstad @David_wthebeard "they at first were believers in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, IN THE CHURCH OF ROME under the episcopate of the blessed [POPE] ELEUTHERIUS, until on account of their ever restless curiosity... they were more than once expelled" - Tertullian (Prescription Against Heretics)

C’mon Bree 😝 You’re confounding Roman Catholicism and the Greek adjective “Catholic” that means universal. If your point was true the RC Church would not recognise EO sacraments as valid. At the time of Saint Patrick there was neither RCs nor EOs but one Catholic and Apostolic Church. May we have Saint Patrick’s blessing 🙏

St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland. 🟧 Not Catholicism. 🟩

@Fitz_Farseer @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad That's not knowledge, that's just believing you are correct without any form of guarantee. So basically you have nothing to appeal to beside your subjectivity in order to say that they are objectively wrong. You tell them they're wrong, they say you're wrong. Who excommunicates?

@ChiefValerian @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad I pray about it and trust God to lead me right. If your heart is where it should be then He will do just that.

@Fitz_Farseer @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad But how would you know if they were appealing to the same Bible and Holy Spirit, just like you're doing, to say that their understanding/interpretation is the correct one and yours is incorrect?

@ChiefValerian @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad Are you saying I’m wrong? I would argue if they were teaching heresies then something was wrong with their heart and their search for God. A diligent search for God will reveal His truths. See: Jeremiah 33:3

@Fitz_Farseer @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad Ariand and Sabellians believed that as well.

@ChiefValerian @HoldenCCole @GouveaKame @sola_chad I’m sure they would. It is my experience that if you set to your life around God and diligently seek after Him, He will help you to discern these truths, and guide you away from those who would lead you astray.
