Wes, taking this seriously because you take it seriously. The framing assumes Catholic doctrine is works-righteousness. Trent Session 6 and the 1999 Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (signed by Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Anglicans) settled that the Reformation dispute on sola fide rested significantly on mutual misunderstanding. Justification is by grace through faith. Works are fruit, not cause. The actual difference is downstream. Catholics teach justification is an infused condition that can be lost through mortal sin and restored through reconciliation. Reformed Baptists teach perseverance of the saints, that authentic faith cannot be lost. Both positions take Christ’s finished work seriously. They differ on whether justification is a single completed forensic declaration or an ongoing infused condition. You are not wrong that we teach salvation can be lost. We are not wrong that Christ’s grace is the cause throughout. The “in spite of” frame misses that we believe what we believe is the Gospel, not its contradiction. On Reformation as retrieval. The Didache (50-110 AD, contemporary with the New Testament) calls the Eucharist a sacrifice and requires confession of sins before communion. Ignatius of Antioch (110 AD), a disciple of John, calls the Eucharist “the medicine of immortality” and centers the bishop in ecclesial unity. Justin Martyr (150) describes the Mass recognizably. Irenaeus (180), two generations from John through Polycarp, defends apostolic succession explicitly. The Fathers are not inspired scripture. They are historical witnesses to what the apostles taught the men they personally trained. If the Reformation retrieved the true Gospel, the Gospel got lost almost immediately after the apostles died, because the apostles’ own disciples are teaching what the Catholic Church teaches now. Newman, examining this evidence, concluded that to be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant. The conventional-not-convenient distinction you drew is right. The question is what the principled examination of the historical evidence reveals. Many of us have done that examination and arrived at Rome. Respectfully, the receipts are in the apostles’ own disciples. Start with the Didache. Then Ignatius. Then Irenaeus. The Gospel they preach is the Gospel the Catholic Church preaches now. Mary, Mother of God, pray for our unity in her Son.

@OrdinariateUSA Yeah a lot of it is documented in Unhumans where they always say it was good that Christianity was being destroyed

@DustinAshWrites Every major event of the 20th century was part of a plot to destroy Christianity and western civilization

In 1945, eight Catholic priests in Hiroshima survived the atomic blast. Fathers Lassalle, Schiffer, Kleinsorge, Cieslik and their cohort were known for their daily prayer and Rosary devotion. They lived in a Jesuit rectory under a mile from ground zero of the Little Boy atomic bomb. Their building remained standing even as the entire surrounding city was totally leveled. None of the priests were seriously injured or showed any short- or long-term signs of radiation sickness. They all lived long lives and spoke publicly of their stories. The dioceses of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had the highest concentration of Catholics in all of Japan, numbering over 80,000 total between them.

@Rblv73 @EcciusMaximus The highest authority on earth is Jesus Christ

According to the NT- the Catholic view represents the highest authority

@BishopJaxi They believe in accepting everyone as they are and they can hold whatever beliefs they want as long as they aren’t Catholic

Same Bible. Different doctrines. Different churches. Different moral teachings. Different "gospels." The fruit of sola Scriptura is chaos, anarchy, and disunity. The one true Church is not found in Protestantism, because Protestantism is the antithesis of "one."

@creation247 You’re saying they must cast a blasian trans man as Jesus Christ is resurrection of the Christ This is what you’re saying and you are right

Racially diverse casting resuscitates frozen images of antiquity. Representation empowers modern viewers to access classical myth and experience its emotional resonance. The Odyssey dates to a period where people then didn’t look like us now. So in order to protect its timeless relevance, enlightened filmmakers now realize that themes like exile, danger, longing, temptation, and the ache to return home do not belong to one race or one sexual orientation or gender identity. Therefore, a progressive Odyssey reimagining depicts us all because it must. As but one example, a truly representative major motion picture Odyssey adaptation could not have been accurately cast prior to 2020—only Elliot Page can star ... not "Ellen" Page. Subverting expectations of whiteness is absolutely an erasure, to agree with the Muskovitian trolls, but yet it is a necessary, consumer-friendly, interpretative approach that allows an old story to feel relevant, universal, and newly alive.

Jews celebrate Hanukkah to this day. The feast commemorates the rededication of the Temple in 164 BC, an event recorded in 1 and 2 Maccabees, the books you say Jews never regarded as authoritative. Jesus himself attended the Feast of Dedication in John 10:22. But the deeper issue is the history of the canon, and the direction of the change runs opposite to what you said. The Septuagint, the Greek scriptures used by Greek-speaking Jews across the Mediterranean and quoted constantly by the New Testament authors, included the deuterocanonical books. The Qumran community kept copies of Tobit and Sirach. The wider canon was in Jewish use before the rabbinic consolidation. The narrower Hebrew canon Protestants follow was fixed by rabbinic Judaism after 70 AD, after Christianity had already emerged using the Septuagint. The Reformers in the 1500s chose to follow that later rabbinic canon over the canon the apostolic Church actually used. And Trent did not add the deuterocanonical books. The Councils of Rome (382), Hippo (393), and Carthage (397, 419) all listed the same canon including them. Augustine defended them. They were in Jerome’s Vulgate. They were in every Christian Bible for over a thousand years before the Reformation. Trent reaffirmed them in response to the Reformers removing them. The “addition” was the subtraction. The Reformers removed books that had been canonical since the fourth century. Trent defined what had always been there.

@Nance726 They hate white people

Bottom line: America First Conservatives have woken up & chosen to reject Zionism. “There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts.”

@GeeksGamersCom @creation247

Pedro Pascal Promotes The Mandalorian and Grogu by Kissing Stephen Colbert On The Mouth "For many online, the moment immediately became meme material. But it also raised another question entirely: how exactly is this helping promote The Mandalorian and Grogu to mainstream Star Wars audiences?"

@EcciusMaximus @Catholicizm1 He never blocked me and I know I was worse than you

@Catholicizm1 Bishop Barron blocked me for calling him out last month

Holy shit. He can’t be serious. They’ll talk to literal sex trafficking perverts before a traditional Catholic. I’m done with all of them. Fradd, Trent, Barron. They’re disgusting.

@Nance726 Evangelicals believe Isaiah 53 is about Jewish people and they will send them more and more money because they believe they are suffering for the whole world

Evangelicals will justify this as “God’s will for the end times” (Which is obviously a sick & twisted heresy)

@creation247 You would be unhappy too if you had to watch Pedro Pascal

If liberals are so smart why are they so unhappy?

@EdLatimore @creation247 I wish they were all about money

@DustinAshWrites @creation247 He sells tickets. Of course he gets work. Especially with Stehelski attached to it. It's all about money

Oh shit there's a new Highlander!? That series is STILL goated!

@creation247 White people will become the myth They will be retconned to have never existed by 2070

Movies in 2036:

@creation247 @EdLatimore Who will play Sean Connery I was a little sad they were remaking a classic Did you know it’s almost impossible to be hired as a white male screenwriter today? My Mexican friend always tells me there’s a quota they cannot exceed in Hollywood Surprised Cavill can find work

@EdLatimore yeah man with Cavill

@TheFlatEartherr They wanted to kill off the white race, destroy the old world, install communism They achieved all 3 goals

@JackPosobiec They teach the French Revolutionary are hero’s in public school just like the American Revolutionary This is what they do

Louis XVII is a Christian martyr

@EcciusMaximus Protestants find it scandalous the transcendent ground of being would become a man and suck on the mother of God’s tit. Omnipotent Mother of God pray for us

Half a million jews were killed enslaved or displaced as a result of the Bar Kokhba revolt 132-136AD. The surviving jewish communities regrouped in the East (palestine) where Melito went at the request of Onesimus. This branch of judaism rejected Jesus and Christianity at the time of Jesus. This is why the deuteros were not included in his list. The point that @gavinortlund is making is that Protestants are Rabbinic Jews since their canons match.

@naplestheartist @Biblicalman True but it was excellent writing even if AI Not an endorsement of the content :)

@DustinAshWrites @Biblicalman I can’t tell if he’s serious or just a parody account that is consistent with his bio

William Tyndale was burned at the stake in 1536 for translating the Bible into English. His last prayer was that God would open the eyes of the King of England. Your Bible exists because a man let them light him on fire so you could read it. You have not opened it in eight days.
