@JackPosobiec Seeing a Harrier jet for the first time, in St Louis by the Arch. It was awesome!

What do you remember about the 1976 Bicentennial?

@ChristySimm23 @Gran_Don_Juan @hdpayens The Bible says nothing about organs and yet so many churches have them.

Even if the Didache was written as early as 50-100 AD, it still shows a simple, local church with basic instructions for baptism and the Lord’s Supper as a meal. It says nothing about papal supremacy, transubstantiation, praying to Mary, purgatory, or any of the many other later Roman inventions. Clement of Rome wrote a strong pastoral letter, but he wrote as a fellow church, not as some supreme pontiff ruling the world. He never claimed universal authority. Catholics point to early documents hoping nobody actually reads them. The early church was simple and local. Your bloated Roman system is the late addition.

The Didache was written before most Christians had a "Bible." It had baptism rites. Eucharistic prayers. Bishops. Deacons. Fasting rules. A full liturgical calendar. The structure Protestants call "Catholic invention" was already running. A thread.

@ansAZ14 @hdpayens Is the word Trinity in the Bible? How about hypostatic union? Much of what we describe in the Church today was not explicitly written in the Bible we have today but was derived from it. This is where the teaching authority of the Church comes in

@hdpayens Did the Christians have the letters or Instructions of the Apostles and the Old Testament prior to the writing of the the Didache? Are Deacons in Acts? Are Bishops in Timothy and Titus? Are they defined as the Western Roman Magisterium does?

@MikeSMillerArt @hdpayens A church in my county, that grate in the floor covers a step-down baptistery,

@MikeSMillerArt @hdpayens Look up historical baptisteries. You stepped down into them. Many still exist. And when I was confirmed a guy who was in my RCIA did get in our baptistery. It was awesome.

Link for all of you never read it before, and yes this was circulated along with the Gospels and Epistles -including The Letter of Clement (the third Pope). It is authoritative- because it was written by an ecclesiastical authority. The Protestant “early church” completely lacks magisterial structure. Who was in charge of that church after John died? How do we know? No one ever answers that question. Because if apostolic authority and teaching were handed down then there must be an authority body - which we basically now call the pope and bishops and cardinals - to do it. And the Mass they handed down is Jewish in structure, even down to the consecrated bread. Protestants, who devised your church structure? Who wrote your creeds? Trace your church history back to its roots and you’ll always come back to some guy who was pissed off at the Catholic Church and thought he could do his own thing. Always. Without exception. newadvent.org/fathers/0714.h…

@ChristySimm23 @hdpayens You appear to have never read it. Here you go. newadvent.org/fathers/0714.h…

LOL, someone needs story time. We PRESERVE the Gospel unlike your so-called "church." Story Time 📙 Once upon a time, all Christians belonged to one big family called the Universal Church. They followed the Bible and the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. But as time went on, around the 3rd and 4th centuries, some leaders started adding new ideas that were not in the Bible. Some of these ideas were wrong and even dishonored God. Many Christians became sad and worried. They loved the Bible and wanted to follow only what Jesus and the apostles had taught. So, over the years, groups of believers began to break away to stay true to the original faith. In 1054, the Eastern Orthodox Churches separated. Then, in the 1500s, during a time called the Reformation, many more Christians said, “We must go back to the Bible alone.” This led to the birth of Protestant churches. The Catholic Church also became very powerful by joining with earthly kings. To protect that power, some leaders did terrible things: they tortured and executed people who disagreed, kept the Bible in Latin so common people couldn’t read it, sold fake spiritual “get-out-of-purgatory” passes for money, and protected priests who committed horrible sins against children. This is why Protestants believe they are closer to the early church, not because they left the faith, but because they wanted to return to it. The early church followed Scripture and the apostles’ teaching. Protestants want to do the same today.

@valerieannagnes @EWTNews And this is why Protestants and Catholics fight

@EWTNews Mostly a day of charlatans and blasphemers, and I wished you had stayed away from the circus.

Bishop Robert Barron delivered a keynote address at Rededicate 250 on Sunday May 17th, reminding us that human dignity begins with freedom — a freedom that comes from God, not government, and can never truly be taken away. “God could have made us robots or marionettes,” he says, but love only exists where there is free will. “If you’re forced to love, you’re not really loving.” We are made to choose God with our own hearts, because “love is what makes us fully alive” — we are children of God, created to love freely.

@VirtuousIntent @TodayinHistory My first car too! Red even!

@TodayinHistory There's the culprit... a Pinto with its exploding gas tank started the entire sequence of events.

When Mount Saint Helens erupted 46 years ago today, nothing survived that was within 230 square miles of the explosion. Except for photographer Richard Lasher who escaped on his dirt bike after taking this shot.

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down

I've lived in DC a decade and have never seen running water in the Meridian Hill Park fountains. Beautiful.

Be a Democrat in California. Have your house burn down in a fire likely started by a lunatic Democrat. Have the other lunatic democrats in office refuse to issue you a permit to rebuild. Be told your neighborhood was too “wealthy” (aka white) and that they’re going to prioritize section 8 housing to replace your neighbors. Learn that the gov has been donating ~80% of your tax dollars to fraud. Learn that this money was funneled through NGOs specifically to elect the officials that are denying your permit to rebuild next to the new projects. See nothing wrong with any of this. Continue to vote Democrat here or anywhere else you move. 🤷‍♂️

@tspooky You win the internet today

@Eric_Schmitt @tlmarlington Dear people, please study the first 400 years of church history. Especially Protestants.

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

@goodapplejokes @Eric_Schmitt “According to the whole” means accepting the whole deposit of faith handed down by the apostles via the Magisterium and we universally accept it.

@Eric_Schmitt For those who think the word catholic in the Nicene Creed refers to the Catholic Church itself, it doesn’t, it’s Greek for universal

@johnrobison Not bad for a former KISS roadie 😂❤️

I'm now Doctor Robison, with the award of this Doctor of Humane Letters from Worcester State University yesterday. Here is a link to the award and my talk at Worcester's DCU center, formerly the Worcester Centrum youtubetrimmer.com/view/?v=-u2Qb5…

@HansMahncke @MZHemingway When are we going to see the fraudsters arrested for treason?

Todd Blanche is absolutely correct. Russiagate wasn’t an exaggerated narrative built on a partial kernel of truth. It was a systematically constructed political and institutional fiction. It was a wholly manufactured framework from beginning to end. Every part of it was invented.

@KeithDiamond994 @IMPERATORAUS You are sick

No, son. Your fruit is ROTTEN. JESUS SAID “YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT” Matt 7:16 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? WHAT IS THE FRUIT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, even Google knows. Google this…”WHEN DID the PEDOPHILE CHURCH” DROP JESUS NAME from their baptism” “Institutional Scandals: The term "pedophile church" is a derogatory reference to the global sexual abuse scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church, such as the 2002 Boston Globe Spotlight investigation. The claim that the "pedophile church" dropped Jesus' name from baptism often refers to the historical shift from the "Jesus Name" formula used in the Book of Acts to the "Trinitarian" formula (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) used by the Roman Catholic Church and most mainstream denominations. “ EVEN GOOGLE KNOWS THE FRUIT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS RAPED AND BROKEN CHILDREN. ^^^^And those “denominations” , WHICH ALSO ABUSED KIDS are ALL descended from the Catholic Church and even while “Protesting” and “Luther-ing” and ”Method-ing”, they still maintained the FALSE BAPTISM of the pedophile church which is NOT in Jesus’ name as we were COMMANDED “ACTS 2:38”. The reason that even those who broke away from the Catholic Church STILL KEPT THEIR FALSE BAPTISM and NEVER RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST with the evidence of Speaking in Tongues is because JESUS told you that a “CORRUPT TREE cannot bring forth GOOD FRUIT” Matthew 7:18 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. So ALL of the Descendants of the Roman Catholic demon inspired (1Timothy 4:1-4) church maintained it’s fake baptism and are bereft of the Holy Ghost. HERE’S HOW MUCH OF JESUS’ COMMANDS YOU HAVE TO IGNORE TO BE CATHOLIC. Acts 2:38 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF THE NEW BIRTH BEING “BORN OF THE WATER”. Acts 2:4 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And because your fruit is RAPED CHILDREN God does not give you the SECOND PART of the NEW BIRTH either. The BORN OF THE SPIRIT part. John 3:1-8 1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. WHICH IS WHY NO CATHOLIC WILL EITHER SEE OR ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Repent. And be baptized every one of you in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION OF SINS and you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Ghost Acts 2:38, which only comes like this , Acts 2:4.

The future is Catholic.
