@alive_lake Yes. But remember; you only need to be able to run faster than the person you’re with.

The terrifying beauty of wildlife. A Thread 🧵 1. Terrifying reminder that if you think u can out run a bear, no you can't

@Pitter_Patter76 @SamanthaRedeemd Perhaps it’s because they feel that you’re being disrespectful to them because you believe it’s just a piece of wafer.

@SamanthaRedeemd I am a born again and baptized Christian (not Catholic) and took communion at a Catholic Church. Apparently I took it wrong and they got pissed. So I would say, feel free to try to take communion with them as is your right as a believing Christian, but be prepared for a refusal

I'm going to my first Catholic mass on Sunday. What should I know before I go?

@SkyNews @TrevorPTweets Could Egyptians also fill their cars with food and drive through their border?

'If Israelis want to protest: get in your cars, stuff your cars full of food, drive through that border and let your own army stop you.' Bob Geldof tells @TrevorPTweets that Israelis must protest against starvation in Gaza. trib.al/kdXA2Dr #TrevorPhillips 📺 Sky 501

@Sachinettiyil The only Catholic Church in an area of 141 square kilometres?

@Allmercy007 @TheBasedTrinity @Burgess7281975 Noah, Abraham, Job, and Daniel…

@TheBasedTrinity @Burgess7281975 True! Romans explains it no not one is righteous.

Scripture is clear that the Holy Mother of God is Sinless on many levels but one of the most direct examples is by noting that the Sinless Archangel Gabriel hails her as his superior in Grace in Luke 1. (1) Many of God’s Creatures are Sinless The “gotcha” that is another common protester error, that is, to conflate sinlessness with Divinity (often misinterpreting Romans 3 which is an exhortation that the Old Law was not Salvific). It underscores a real lack of theological depth and is easily disproven by Scripture. What I’ll show below is that, of Our Lord’s creatures endowed with will, namely, angels and men, a substantial proportion never sinned. And because we know creatures aren’t Divine we know that therefore being sinless doesn’t mean that one is Divine. (2) Christ affirms the reality of Guardian Angels in Matthew 18:10:  “See that you do not despise one of these little ones,[i] for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” (3) Because the Guardians are “angels in heaven” we know that they are of the population of angels that obeyed God or didn’t fall. Consider what Pope Saint Cephas had to say in 2 Peter 2:4: “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment;” (4) So, how many angels fell. The Apocalypse of Saint John Chapter 12, Verse 4 gives us a clue: “Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth.” So that means roughly 1/3rd of the angels fell with “the dragon.” What does this tell us about estimating the proportion of “will-endowed creatures” that are sinless and those who aren’t? Let’s assume for illustration that God created 1,500 angels before He created man. This would leave roughly 1,000 sinless angels and 500 that sinned. Now let’s further assume there is 1 individual Guardian Angel per individual man which seems intuitive and that everyone has a Guardian Angel. And while we know Christ did not sin (though Tradition holds He likely had a Guardian Angel), and that Mary did not sin we’ll exclude these numbers from our calculations as they aren’t material to the whole as, in reality, there have probably been close to 120 Billion “men” who’ve lived (and while there is theological speculation that John the Baptist also might be sinless, his inclusion or exclusion is not material to this particular analysis). So let’s assume there are 1,000 “men” (including women) total and that they are all sinners. This leaves us with: 1,000 Sinless Angels 1,000 Sinful Men/Women* 500 Sinful Angels *Deliberately excluding Jesus and Mary (and possibly John the Baptist) to simplify the math, This would mean that fully 1,000 out of 2,500 will-endowed creatures are without sin or approximately 40% assuming my math is correct (I’m not a mathematician).** **Numbers are “broad brush” for purposes of illustration. So, obviously being sinless doesn’t make one Divine even though Jesus Christ is both Fully God and fully man. So Christ is Adored and we offer Him the Worship of Latria. Furthermore, Mary being the Gebirah, the Regina Caeli Laetare, or “Queen of Heaven” is afforded a level of reverence called “Hyperdulia” and, while Heaven’s angels join her sinlessness, by God’s Grace she enjoys Status Sui Generis. As Saint John of Damascus notes: “She is all beautiful, all near to God. For she, surpassing the cherubim, exalted beyond the seraphim, is placed near to God.” (Homily on the Nativity, 9; Gambero, 403) And Saint Maximilian Kolbe: “The Immaculata is the ultimate limit between God and creation. She is a faithful image of God’s perfection, of his sanctity.” (KW 1232) Ave Christus Rex!

@DisrespectedThe “She doesn’t need NO man”??? So are you saying that she DOES need a man?!?

She doesn't need no man.

@ChristianEmerg1 @saintophtegamus Brave people. God bless them.

Syria: In the wake of yesterday’s horrific church bombing, Christians in Damascus marched through the city to loudly proclaim – “We are all for Christ!” Stunning faith in the face of stunning evil. God bless the courageous Christians of Syria.

@AMAZlNGNATURE I’d take the bananas, let go of the cyclist, climb a tree and eat them.

What would you do if you were in this situation? 😳

@PCarroll2024 @madclips_ He was YOU?!?!

@madclips_ He was I. The middle of the street. How do you know he was not intentionally blocking the vehicle? That's what I see.

@i_alammar @PPC4Liberty It is allowed in Iran.

@PPC4Liberty Islam is the way. We do not allow or tolerate evil like this. We walk the walk, we don't just whine online.

@waht_a_day @ArtHouse2017 @Catholic_bro John 21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if each of these were written down, the world itself, I suppose, would not be able to contain the books that would be written.

Go to Mass

@Master2udarnit @sitsio Libel.

@sitsio Look at that pedophile groom that girl

Banned in Charlotte?

@BreeSolstad “A Catholic church without women has never existed!”

Pray for these women. This is very sad. 🙏 Just be Episcopalian. 🤷‍♀️

@BreeSolstad Will they be protesting about other religions who have male leaderships?

Lovely day for a #guinness at The #Barratt with the #GeriPatricks. Kevin’s new mobility aid.

It's just occurred to me how ahead of his time songwriter Paul Simon was back in 1986 when he recorded his song 'You Can Call Me AI'!

@MrCasey62 Jesus never commanded him/her to constantly criticise the Catholic Church on social media, yet…

Uh-oh, looks like someone sent out a memo, and they’re all parroting the same stupid question. The answer will ALWAYS be the same:

God help us! A local source in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has confirmed that jihadists left the dead bodies of 70 Africans in a church – many of whom had been beheaded. acnuk.org/news/drc-jihad…

@sitsio Yet there is nothing, or little at most, on the news despite the fact we have a number of 24 hour news channels. God rest their souls.

We need world leaders to speak out on this issue
