@gonefishin1948 @DecreviD2BC I was always told it was a sin to miss Holy Mass.

@DecreviD2BC Catholics don’t go to Mass because they are often lazy or think it’s not important.

And the Church wonders why Catholics don't go to Mass.

The Holy See has officially informed Bishop Louis Tylka of the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois, that the cause for the Venerable Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen can proceed to beatification, according to an announcement from the diocese. “The next step in the process is the celebration of the beatification, in which Fulton Sheen would be declared Blessed,” Tylka said. “Archbishop Fulton Sheen was one of the greatest voices of evangelization in the Church and the world in the 20th century. I have long admired his lifelong commitment to serve the Church as a priest, rooted in his deep devotion to the Blessed Mother and the Eucharist.” “As he journeyed through the different stages of his life, his ability to share the Gospel and truly relate to people drew countless souls into an encounter with Jesus — one that transformed not only his life, but more importantly, the lives of those he touched.” “In his later years, particularly through his work for the Missions, Archbishop Sheen helped us recognize that the Church is meant for all people. He reminded us that as members of the Church, we are called to serve everyone, especially those most in need and those longing to hear and experience the Gospel, wherever they may be in the world,” he said. Tylka thanked the Holy See, his brother bishops, clergy, and laypeople for the collaboration and prayers that led to Sheen’s beatification, which will be “a special blessing for the Church in the United States, where he was a powerful evangelist on radio, television, and in personal appearances.” The Diocese of Peoria is working with the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints at the Vatican to determine the details for the upcoming beatification. Peter John Sheen was born in El Paso, Illinois, on May 8, 1895, and was called “Fulton” in honor of his mother’s maiden name. Sheen was ordained a priest of the Peoria Diocese on Sept. 20, 1919. On June 11, 1951, he was consecrated as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York and remained in the position until 1966. He was then named the bishop of Rochester, New York, until his retirement in 1969 at the age of 74. Tylka has previously called Sheen a “trailblazer” due to his Emmy-winning television show “Life Is Worth Living.” The show aired on television from 1952 until 1957, discussing morality and Catholicism. Sheen “reached millions of people because of [the show],” Tylka said. “He was so far ahead of his time in that reality that we take for granted today.” Sheen died due to heart disease on Dec. 9, 1979, the feast of St. Juan Diego. Although Sheen is to be beatified, the process leading to the milestone has been marked by many challenges and delays. The televangelist’s cause for canonization was first opened in 2002 under the leadership of the Diocese of Peoria, and from then on he was referred to as a servant of God. Pope Benedict XVI declared him venerable in June 2012. On March 6, 2014, the board of medical experts who advise the then-Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously approved a reported miracle attributed to his intercession. Parents of a stillborn baby, James Fulton, prayed through the intercession of Sheen and their son miraculously recovered. On June 17, 2014, the seven-member theological commission that advises the congregation unanimously agreed with the medical team’s finding. In September 2014, Sheen’s cause was suspended due to an ownership dispute of his remains. The suspension was announced “with sadness” in a statement by then-bishop of Peoria Daniel R. Jenky, president of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation. Explaining how the Holy See “expected that the remains of Venerable Sheen would be moved to Peoria where official inspection would be made and first-class relics be taken,” the statement said that the Archdiocese of New York had denied Jenky’s request to move the body to Peoria. Finally in March 2019, a New York appeals court unanimously ruled that the earthly remains of Sheen could be moved to St. Mary’s Cathedral in Peoria. The following June, his body was transferred to St. Mary’s Cathedral after three years of litigation, helping to clear the way for the archbishop’s sainthood cause to go forward. Pope Francis approved of the miracle attributed to the intercession of Sheen on July 5, 2019. Sheen was set to be beatified on Dec. 21, 2019, but the beatification experienced a delay. Bishop Salvatore Matano of Rochester reportedly requested the delay of Sheen’s beatification due to concerns that he could be named in the final report of an ongoing investigation into clergy sex abuse in New York. The situation was later cleared up and it was reported the delay was not related to the 2007 allegation that Sheen witnessed and covered up an act of clerical sexual abuse. The Diocese of Peoria issued an announcement that said “it has been demonstrated definitively that [Sheen] was an exemplary model of Christian conduct and a model of leadership in the Church. At no time has his life of virtue ever been called into question.” The diocese said the beatification would be delayed so that more time can be given to examine Sheen’s life. It further called the delay “unfortunate,” because “there continue to be many miracles reported through Sheen’s intercession.” Despite the delays, proponents of the beatification continued to work to advance the cause. In May 2025 Tylka reiterated his intention to advocate for the beatification process with Pope Leo XIV. ewtnnews.com/world/us/fulto…

@danjackrass1 @Nick_The_Hat @gonefishin1948 @oliverburdick I gave you an answer off the top of my head. It's not my fault that you're not familiar enough with the Book of Acts to understand what I was referencing. But since you need to be spoon-fed, it's Acts 17:11.

@Un2TheBreach @Nick_The_Hat @gonefishin1948 @oliverburdick your gonna avoid the question because the correct response is he didnt, anywhere period

How many books are actually in the Bible?

@danjackrass1 @Nick_The_Hat @gonefishin1948 @oliverburdick In Acts when he talks about the Bereans. What scripture do you think hellenized jews living in Macedonia were using?

@Un2TheBreach @Nick_The_Hat @gonefishin1948 @oliverburdick Chapter and verse?

@GeorgeSchulte @TitusINRI @oliverburdick Paul says otherwise.

@TitusINRI @oliverburdick Simple solution : The apocryphal books were never scripture. Problem solved.

@danjackrass1 @Nick_The_Hat @gonefishin1948 @oliverburdick Paul said they were scripture.

@Nick_The_Hat @gonefishin1948 @oliverburdick what makes you say that? those books were used but not everyone agreed they were sculpture like most others even in 200 ad

Name it!🚀

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes The middle east is, in fact, a geographical location. No need to create new arguments to distract from the one you've already lost.

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes And in the time period that standard was set did the British have sincere intentions in their so called Near East and Far east? I only make this point to respond again to your question of how such a label "strikes against Persians". And not only the Persians of course, many more.

Documentary uncovers how Stan Lee was manipulated and exploited by his inner circle in his final years

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes From the west. You've said yourself that British navigation is the standard, so obviously From England.

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes From who's base location?

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes But they weren't so that point is moot.

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes And if Japan had been the dominant global power in the 1800s to 1900s, perhaps the map today would be centred on them, and Eastern Europe (including Greece could have been considered the ‘Middle East'

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes Japan is literally farther east than China.

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes I understand, but the reason you frame the world this way is largely because maps are centred on Greenwich and the British dominated global navigation when standards were set. For example, there’s no inherent reason Japan should be part of the Far east

@otokyo__ Ralph

Our baby is…

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes Its literally the region midway between Europe and the Far East. Therefore, the Middle East.

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes That is exactly it, it is not a description of it's geographical position. It is a inherently a geopolitical term, but it get used alongside geographical terms. South Asia is geographical, East Asia is geographical, West Asia would be geographical, the Middle east is not.

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes And exactly how does a description of it's geographical location do that?

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes What it does at a basic level is Seperate Iran from Asia, reduce the distinct and dominant Iranian identity, subordinate Persian history to chosen narratives. And it is not by chance either. You may see nothing wrong with their framing because you're watching through their lens.

@GeorgeSchulte @KlezSchuyler @FatherChrisVor1 @oliverburdick Jesus quoted the Septuagint.

@KlezSchuyler @FatherChrisVor1 @oliverburdick I do not care about sects. Jesus knew what he used. Hebrew canon.

The Bible has 66 books, not 73.

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes And exactly how are the terms middle east and near east strikes against Persians?

@Un2TheBreach @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes Yes I also speak english as it is a powerful language to speak in the 21st Century. I did not make any statement against the english language nor England/the British in general. My qualm is with the term 'middle east' which exists in many languages including Persian by the way.

@n35224218 @SamanthaRedeemd What is the Trinity?

@SamanthaRedeemd Your logic is not nearly as sound as you think it is. Using your process: Jesus is God The Father is God The Holy Spirit is God Therefore Jesus is the Father and Jesus is the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is also the Father Congratulations, you don’t believe in the trinity.

Mary is not Mother of the Trinity Mother of the Father Mother of the Holy Spirit. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is Fully human Fully God Mary is the mother of God. This really doesn't seem controversial.

@The_Jahangir33 @Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes *He said in English.*

@Psychoman822653 @theoraclemommy @factostats @historyinmemes If you are Persian you should know better than to use terms such as 'middle east' or 'near east' in the first place. Terms coined by the old fox against our people should have no place in our vocabulary.

@MaddyStrong3 @BibleInContext1 Was he a self-proclaimed "bible scholar" as well?

@Un2TheBreach @BibleInContext1 My professor accused me of using the word because it sounded like profanity. 🙄🙄

This is wrong and just look at his potty mouth. The Jews were examining the already revealed written Word for the Truth Paul spoke and they were called more noble! The truth Paul taught and preached that was for the Church for all time was eventually written!

@taco_talks Literal pagan talking point.

Idolatry is the worship of a false god. Catholics deny the sufficiency of Jesus. They pray to dead people. Through transubstantiation they pretend they cannibalize God after worshiping a wafer and wine. Catholicism is literally idolatry.
