I might look like a bot, but I'm not one. Hopefully some of my ideas are interesting.

Pointing out once again that "Do we worship the same God as Muslims?" is not a real question. If you believed a thief was suspect A and I believed they were suspect B do we believe in the "same thief?" It depends on the definition of "same" nothing else. The debate is semantics

@AMightySwiftie @MrCasey62 If his statement was wrong you should have explained why. If his statement wasn't wrong then why did you comment at all?

Fr. Ripperger: “You can’t approach the spiritual life by just doing it ‘whenever’. First, it HAS to be consistent: a certain amount every day, done in a proper manner, etc. Second, you HAVE to eliminate distractions. Until you do, find ONE place you can pray on a regular basis.” youtube.com/shorts/BiIxksV…

@pluant If he lived a life of heroic virtue he should be considered for beatification. If he didn't then he shouldn't. Talking about whether he was "overrated" or "a product of his times" is just pointless. It literally doesn't mean anything.

@JendersII You are not bound by every implied attitude in every document from every council. The literal text has weight, although not infallibility, and the anathemas have infallibility. "Must state that it is required for all the faithful to hold it" is talking about anathema statements

@VirtusDomini This is literally made up and not true. Again, read pastor Aeternus. It says exactly what requires obedience. There is no magic words required. If it's a conciliar, regarding faith, morals, government, or discipline you are bound. This was established at Vatican I.

@JendersII VII doesn't have any anathemas, so except maybe in very few ambiguous lines the pope didn't use his authority to bind the church to anything. My understanding of the SSPX is that they think agreeing to the spirit of VII, implied, but not authoritatively taught, is heretical

@VirtusDomini They are claiming Vatican II contains heresies. And that they don't have to obey the Pope's universal jurisdiction over their personal objections.

@WalmartThomist We're a few layers deep into "not at all clear what the limitations of the authority are here" (how much authority can the pope share? Has he explicitly done so here? If so, they still aren't excommunicating, but stating what the interpretation should be for legal purposes, etc)

The reason why the DDF deals with these things is because the Pope has granted them a share in his authority as a curial body to do things like give doctrinal judgements, canonical penalties, etc. It is completely irrelevant that the judgement came from Cardinal Fernandez and not Pope Leo, despite what some commentators have claimed.

“Whether the pastor binds justly or unjustly, the pastor's sentence is nevertheless to be feared by the flock, lest he who is subject to him—even if, perhaps, he is bound unjustly—should merit the very sentence of his binding from some other fault. Let the pastor, therefore, fear to absolve indiscreetly, or to bind. But let him who is under the hand of the pastor fear to be bound, even unjustly; nor let him rashly censure the judgment of his pastor, lest—even if he has been bound unjustly—from the very pride of his swollen censure there arise a fault which before was not there.” (Pope St. Gregory the Great, Homiliae in Evangelia, PL 76:1200B)

Proudly excommunicated by the Post-Conciliar Synodal Church if that means I hold firm to the true faith. For as Athanasius said, “what is more important, the buildings or the faith? Surely the faith.”

@JohnDoyle Rare Doyle miss. The claim isn't that they're literally not in control of themselves and a demon is using their body like a puppet at that moment, but that their behavior represents the psychology and motives which demons encourage both in society and in people.

Don’t like the use of the word “demonic” to describe very evil behavior. These people are actually fully in control of their behavior, and I don’t think the devil has to do anything at all to get them to behave like this. It’s the Right-wing version of “socioeconomic factors.”

@EricRSammons @MrCasey62 At this point unless I see Fr Rippeger say something on the sensus fidelium channel, I assume he didn't really say it. There's a lot of weird ai stuff and people making up or greatly exaggerating his claims.

I don't know the full context (and he didn't say the quote in the attached video), but taken in a vacuum, this isn't realistic or even good advice, and sounds like a form of quietism. There's nothing wrong with pursuing knowledge that doesn't "help you spiritually." Of course, we shouldn't pursue any knowledge that *harms* us spiritually.

@timotheeology @BiggyBigTIME @EricRSammons Am I missing something or did Pope Leo not actually (himself) excommunicate them? It was just people under him releasing a document interpreting current canon law as applying an automatic excommunication.

You're right. That's formal adherence, re: excommunicated. Think about it as voting for a politician *because* they are pro-abortion (formal adherence) vs. voting for the same politician *in-spite* of their pro abortion views (non-formal adherence). Intent specifies form.
Steve Cuskley@SCuskley

@ChristineNiles1 Seems to mean that if I just THINK that the SSPX acted properly (because the Church is in a state of emergency and a state of necessity) I'm excommunicated. SHOW ME WHERE I'M WRONG.

It's amazing that these decrepit neocon imbeciles have gotten every major issue wrong for 40 years and just absolutely insist on keeping their streak of unbroken wrongness alive at all costs. Yes, 27 million people immigrated here between 1880 and 1924. The difference is that they came here legally, there was no welfare state for them to leach off of, they were not flooding in from dysfunctional lawless third world hellholes, and they actually desired to assimilate into American culture. Oh and we had 250 million fewer people living in the country at the time. So in other words, it was nothing like our current situation. At all. Not remotely.
John Podhoretz@jpodhoretz

27 million people immigrated to the United States between 1880 and 1924 and it seemed to work out fine. What it did for our day was make sure that, down the line, the blood-and-soil inbreds at the Federalist had some competition.

@lovinqthelord If confession alone isn't solving the problem, there's two possibilities: -God wants you to do more. (Praying more, avoiding the near occasion of sin further, indulgences, etc.) -God wants you to be patient and keep receiving confession while offering up the wait.

Guys I’m struggling with the idea of going to confession when I keep falling into the same sins: despair, not praying, and pushing God away. It feels like an endless cycle. Is there even a point in going to confession?

@greilsarriskirk @certcertifiied @timotheeology @CTrefugees The discipline being imposed was "do not receive the Eucharist within X days of the marital act" so receiving the Eucharist would be a sin, but if you were not going to (which would be most of the time in the Middle Ages) then the marital act was not sinful.

@certcertifiied @VirtusDomini @timotheeology @CTrefugees I guess my question then is this: Are those restrictions just about ritual defilement in an OT sense (and if so, what is the ritual cleansing required?), or are they about the authority of the church/pastor to impose requirements which it would violate conscience to break?

@JuUr_Ke @JohnDoyle @thesanityrevolt I don't mean that it's "there were no backrooms, it's just mental illness" I meant "there are backrooms, which are an exaggerated way of showing the main characters mental health problems" (two similar examples off the top of my head are babadook and obsession)

@VirtusDomini @JohnDoyle @thesanityrevolt Didn't watch backrooms, unsure if I will, but is that the angle the movie actually goes with? Mental illness BS? 😭 Can you give me an example of a different movie going that route? If you don't mind.

Everyone is trying to make this about “finallyyyyy we young people are being given a chance ✨😌💅🏾” Yeah. We just had a discourse a few days ago about the creator of the Powerpuff Girls only having been like 24 at the time — normal young white guy btw. Remember, we have a surplus of millions of “young people” in creative programs throughout the country. Many of whom have been given incredible opportunities but still have produced nothing of note. Perhaps it’s less about “young people finally having opportunities” and more that for the first time in memory, some young white guys in creative spaces have had the boot taken off their necks, and the results seem to square with pretty much every other time young white guys are able to cook unimpeded by the tears and scolding of basically everyone else.

@VirtusDomini @JohnDoyle @thesanityrevolt Tell me you didn't watch any of his yt work without telling me you didn't watch any of his yt work. This was very obviously all him and the mental illness angle fits the world he created. It adds a narrative to his sometimes more ethereal concepts.
