@AnomalyBlessed @relevantradio No historical support for a 1563 start: No contemporary documents, Church records, or neutral historians claim the Church was founded then. The Church had popes, bishops, Masses, sacraments, and global missions for 1,500+ years prior.

The Catholic church short of began in 1563. Prior to that what would become the Protestants were there too. Therefore you can't call it the Catholic church. Not by official title, which wasn't approved until Vatican II. Prior "catholic" simply meant universal. Now go back to 1378 to 1417 and we find 3 popes. The Roman Line (based in Rome). Urban VI (elected 1378); succeeded by Boniface IX, Innocent VII, and Gregory XII (who would resign. The Avignon Line (based in Avignon, France). Clement VII (elected by dissenting cardinals in 1378); succeeded by Benedict XIII (who would be excommunicated). The Pisan Line (created at the Council of Pisa, 1409). This council attempted to end the schism by deposing both existing popes. Instead elected a third claimant: Alexander V; succeeded by John XXIII (he was deposed). So again, 1417, Gregory XII (Roman) voluntarily resigned, John XXIII (Pisan) was deposed, Benedict XIII (Avignon) refused to step down and was excommunicated. Martin V (1417) was then elected. This is all known as the Western Schism of the Church. Not the catholic church, mind you. It was just known as the Christian Church. Prior to that we had the Eastern Orthodox within our fold. They left in the Great Schism of 1054. And in 451 we had the Oriental (or “Chalcedonian”) Schism. So prior to that the Oriental Orthodox were part of our fold. So it's so very not the Catholic church -- although it was universal. Back to 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Thesis. In 1521 the Protestant Reformation was official. From 1545 to 1563, what would become the Catholic church had their own Reformation, because the Protestant Reformation showed them that they had a lot of problems. Instead of solving them, they further distanced themselves from the Christian Church. You see in 1521 God called his remnant out from the group and continued His Church onward. The Catholics left the Christian Church....yet still didn't call themselves Catholic by title for another 440+ years. And there you have the history of Christ's Church, and how it became the Protestants of today. Your welcome.

Every religion has a starting point — and for most, that starting point is surprisingly recent. Go back generation by generation, century by century, all the way to the time of Christ and the Apostles — and only one Church is present and accounted for in every single era of history: the Catholic Church. That's not opinion. That's evidence that demands a verdict. #CatholicChurch #CatholicFaith #Apologetics #ChurchHistory #Catholic #RelevantRadio #Evangelization #CatholicMedia #PatrickMadrid

@Osint613 My guess is he’s not on Trumps list of successors. Bunker up bud!

Ali Ahmad Khomeini, grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini on February 4, 2026: “The Israelis know damn well: The day the Islamic nation gets the chance, WE’LL ERASE ISRAEL, just like Hamas tried.” “the Americans will die before they see us humiliated.” Operation EPIC FURY and ROARING LION launched 24 days later

Minor problem Laura might not be aware of. If space X is shutout of Canada those satellites go nowhere. The Telesat Lightspeed satellites will be launched by SpaceX, using their Falcon 9 rocket. Telesat signed a multi-launch agreement with SpaceX in September 2023 for 14 dedicated Falcon 9 launches to deploy the constellation.

🇨🇦 Mark Carney says a Canadian-built satellite network expected to launch next year will rival SpaceX’s Starlink while strengthening national defence, Arctic communications, and reducing reliance on U.S. systems.

Some interpret these as ruling out any literal consumption of blood (from Acts) or any repeated/real sacrifice (from Hebrews), suggesting the Eucharist must be purely symbolic—a memorial or spiritual reminder rather than Christ’s actual Body and Blood. But the early Church didn’t see it that way. The apostles and their immediate successors taught and believed in the Real Presence—that in the Eucharist, the bread and wine truly become the Body and Blood of Christ (while retaining the appearances of bread and wine). This wasn’t a later invention; it’s evident from the earliest Christian writings.

@TheMichiganMan @EcciusMaximus The apostles knew it was symbolic. Acts 15:29. Hebrews 10. No the early church knew it was symbolic.

No one in the history of Christianity held your view literally no one until about the 18th century that’s like 2 weeks ago in the scale of time. This is how far Protestantism has strayed from real Biblical Christianity.

Let’s be clear! You are saying Jesus didn’t mean what he said, and the Apostles misunderstood him. Theology aside, history is not on your side. For 1500 years Christianity taught and believed that The Eucharist was The Body and blood of Jesus. Only with The Reformation did splinter Christian churches begin preaching The Eucharist was a symbol. So if that’s what you believe fine. It’s a modernist view that is relatively new in Christianity.

@TheMichiganMan @EcciusMaximus No Christian thinks they are dying actual blood. No apostle thought that. God doesn’t want you to be a cannibal. Pagan blood ritual. Hebrews 10. There was a one time sacrifice for all sin. Your pervert priests change nothing

Acts 15:29 ("abstain from blood") is about dietary rules for Gentile converts, not the EucharistThe Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) addressed practical issues to avoid offending Jewish Christians: no food sacrificed to idols, no blood (meaning animal blood in meat, often from strangled animals where blood wasn't drained), and no sexual immorality. This echoes Old Testament laws (Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:10–14) where blood represents life and is reserved for God in sacrifices—not to be consumed as ordinary food. The prohibition concerns animal blood in everyday eating, to promote unity and avoid scandal. It does not forbid the sacramental drinking of Christ's own blood, which Jesus Himself commanded at the Last Supper ("This is my blood... drink from it, all of you" – Matthew 26:27–28). Early Christians (and major traditions like Catholic and Orthodox) have always distinguished: the Eucharist is not ordinary animal blood or food—it's the glorified, living Christ under the appearances of bread and wine. Later divine command (Jesus') supersedes earlier dietary rules (Colossians 2:16–17 calls food/drink laws "shadows" fulfilled in Christ). If Acts 15:29 banned the Eucharist, the apostles themselves would have been contradicting Jesus' direct words—and the Church would never have practiced it from the start.

@EcciusMaximus Acts 15:29. Don’t drink blood. Hebrews 10. Jesus was the ONE time sacrifice for all sin. God doesn’t want you to be a cannibal

@LauraBabcock Interesting. According to IAEA in a statement from July of 2025 "The agency cannot fully verify undeclared activities or hidden facilities without full access, which we have not been given since 2016". So...who's lying?

It’s. All. Lies. youtu.be/A3wDlse5JW4?si…

The Roman Catholic ChurchThe Catholic Church officially teaches that it is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:18–19, where Peter is given the keys). It claims:Unbroken apostolic succession from the apostles (especially Peter as the first bishop of Rome) through bishops ordained in a direct line. The fullness of the faith, including Scripture, sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium (teaching authority, with papal infallibility in defined cases). The Church "subsists in" the Catholic Church (Vatican II, Lumen Gentium), meaning all elements Christ instituted are fully present there. Other Christians have elements of truth and sanctification but lack full communion and certain sacraments/eclesial means of grace.

Does anyone know which ONE Protestant denomination has the actual and complete Christian faith?

Keep in mind the belief that The Eucharist is merely a symbol is relatively new to Christianity. Believers must then ask themselves this question. Were the Apostles who taught The Real Presence wrong? The apostles and earliest Christianity taught that the Eucharist is the real (literal) body and blood of Jesus from the very beginning of the faith—starting at its institution by Jesus himself around AD 30–33. This belief was not a later development; it appears explicitly in the New Testament writings of the apostles and is consistently affirmed by the earliest Church Fathers in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries. There was no historical "turning point" where the teaching shifted from symbolic to real presence; the early sources describe it as realist (actual flesh and blood) right from apostolic times

I cannot wait to get out of work to go to my church for a Eucharistic Adoration🩸 Protestants, you'll never believe me, and that's okay💧 But you have no idea what your missing💧 No Idea What You're Missing!🩸

@PeterHRatcliffe Crimes? Where was your voice when The Mullah’s and IRGC killed over 30 thousand innocent human beings? Spare us the faux moral indignation.

Leaving stranded sailors to drown after sinking their ship at sea is an example of the US demonstrating that the US are not like the Nazi. The US are so much worse. Conventions of war are part of civilization. Ignoring them is a war crime.

@LauraBabcock Yes you are. Canadians are all over the place in south Florida. You run into them everywhere. Not everyone is a whack job!

Don’t worry we ain’t coming 🇨🇦

Hey Christopher, The Catechism of the Catholic Church firmly condemns any misuse of Church teachings to justify, support, or approve sin. Sin itself is defined as an offense against God, reason, truth, and right conscience—an act contrary to the eternal law (CCC 1849–1850). More gravely, the Church teaches that we bear responsibility for others’ sins when we cooperate in them by praising, approving, advising, or protecting evil-doers (CCC 1868). The sin of scandal is especially relevant here: it’s an attitude or behavior that leads another to do evil, making the person a tempter who damages virtue and can even draw someone into spiritual death (CCC 2284). Scandal becomes particularly grave when given by those in authority (like teachers, leaders, or clergy) who are obliged to educate and guide others in truth (CCC 2285). Using Church doctrine to twist or excuse grave sins—rather than calling people to repentance and fidelity—constitutes this scandal, as it deliberately misleads souls away from God’s law instead of upholding it. True fidelity to the Catechism demands defending moral truth without distortion to appease anyone or rationalize wrongdoing.

@JohnJSSoriano What do you mean? I’m just communicating the perennial Catholic teaching that God transcends any gender and is pure spirit (cf. Gospel of John). Do you disagree?

Here’s what the Catechism of the Catholic Church (#370) says: “In no way is God in man's image. He is neither man nor woman. God is pure spirit in which there is no place for the difference between the sexes.”

Hey Laura, The EU Commission is pushing back hard against Trump’s recent threat to “cut off all trade” with Spain (after Madrid refused to let U.S. forces use its bases for strikes on Iran), warning that any move against one member state—like Spain—would trigger a unified response and potential trade war with the entire 27-nation bloc. But here’s why the U.S. holds more leverage and doesn’t need the EU as much as they need us: The EU runs a huge goods trade surplus with the U.S. (around €200 billion in 2025, with EU exports to America far outpacing imports), meaning European companies (cars, pharma, machinery) rely heavily on the massive U.S. market—tariffs or disruptions hurt them way more, while America has a giant domestic economy, growing energy independence, and easier pivots to other partners. On defense, Europe depends on U.S. muscle through NATO (we cover roughly 62% of alliance spending and provide critical capabilities like intel and logistics), leaving them vulnerable without us—especially amid threats like Russia—whereas the U.S. is geographically secure and militarily dominant. The economies are deeply linked (over $1 trillion in annual trade), so nobody wins a full fight, but the asymmetries give Trump real bargaining power when he bluffs or escalates.

Are Americans idiots? They also didn’t release a strike on Iran meant a regional war.

Laura, Emmanuel Macron’s tenure as French President has increasingly highlighted his weaknesses and ineffectiveness on both the national and international stages, particularly as he navigates a lame-duck status without a parliamentary majority, leaving his minority government vulnerable to censure and forcing him into appeasing tactics rather than bold leadership. Once again you are aligning with failed EU policy and leaders.

Cry baby who blows up countries

Laura, the idea of international law and a genuine world order—a system where nations are bound by universal rules, enforced fairly to prevent aggression, protect human rights, and promote cooperation—sounds noble on paper, but in reality, it has never truly taken root. Rooted in concepts like the post-World War II UN Charter and the dream of a rules-based order after centuries of treaties and institutions, this vision has always been undermined by the harsh dynamics of power politics. Powerful states (think the permanent UN Security Council members with veto power) routinely bend, ignore, or violate these rules when it suits their interests—whether through invasions, annexations, or unilateral actions—while weaker nations have little recourse beyond moral appeals or inconsistent sanctions. Realism in international relations tells us that without a global sovereign enforcer (unlike domestic law backed by police and courts), compliance depends on self-interest, alliances, or fear of consequences, not on the law itself. Recent events, from great-power conflicts to withdrawals from treaties and institutions, only highlight how the system remains aspirational at best: a fragile framework that codifies power imbalances rather than transcending them, leaving the world order more a polite fiction than a deeply embedded reality.

“International law binds all belligerents” thank you PM Carney 🇨🇦 #IranWar

Laura - I needed a laugh and you provide me with one. How much revenue is generated for Canada at The Detroit/Windsor crossing in a week? This equates to roughly $2.26 billion per week (calculated as $323 million/day × 7 days). So let’s celebrate a deal with India that…oh by the way…Canada can’t even deliver on. The sheep that hear your voice won’t understand those numbers. Best worry about us bailing on CUSMA! As written it is not in our best interests.

PM Mark Carney getting the job done 🇨🇦

@iwelsh @EQS247 How will they lap us after losing 40pct of their energy supply in 2 months? Oh…I forgot. Canada sees themselves as The China of the great white north. You’ve already been lapped!

@EQS247 Nope, you're genocidal maniacs with a huge legacy army, who are heading for history's dustbin as China laps you. The question is just how many millions you kill before you go down. Hurry up.

As a Canadian it is in my personal self interest for the US to lose this war and take massive losses doing so. Every hit the US takes me and my country, Canada, safer.

Carney and his globalist cabal need to ask this question.What is International law? He defers to an anachronistic and useless body like The UN to mediate? Again, what have they done for world peace since they were founded? Results matter. Pathetic and weak response by the PM of a “middle power”.

PM Mark Carney says the U.S.-Israel war against Iran is a failure of the international order. "The current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order." "The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada."

@Llyn4455 @LauraBabcock Don’t deflect! You live in a country that has only state sponsored media! You get what your Government wants you to consume! Truth is obviously not important to the sheep on what has become the Orwellian Animal Farm of The Great White North!

@Llyn4455 @LauraBabcock Is that correct? It seems as if you’ve joined the toddler cult throwing around words that are not based on facts. Getting “facts” from censored media can do that to the sheep.

I don’t expect athletes to get politics because they’re busy becoming great at sports but if you don’t know you are taking a happy snap with a fascist who had people shot in the street and is threatening the country where you earn your living you need to reflect a little bit 🇨🇦
