Okay, he just walked out of confession. Have 3 Beemers cut him off on the drive home

@astorcaeli @TraditionAction Ha! I'm not Chuck either, but this is fun. Who's your next guess? I met my spouse at St. Anne's, by the way. Beautiful parish and excellent priests.

@catholiccom @TraditionAction Therein lies your problem Chuck. At least Karl was old enough to have a respect & understanding of Catholicism before 1970. Even Hahn does. You guys can't read the tea leaves in El Cajon. Take a trip to St. Anne's and ask Fr. Eggleston. He can educate you.

@TraditionAction this is you

CLAIM: "The Catholic Church used to chain up Bibles because it didn't want people to read them." @JimmyAkin3000's answer:

@astorcaeli @TraditionAction Jimmy's time is far too valuable to be wasting it on managing our twitter

@catholiccom @TraditionAction Is that you Jimmy? Don't you have some beard grease to apply?

In the Bible, it is common for God to commission prophets in times where his people need to be shaken up and realigned with his will. So was Martin Luther a prophet, sent to do the same? In 2018, Protestant Arnold Wheeler dedicated an article to this question. His conclusion? "The answer is absolutely, yes. . . . He certainly had the Holy Spirit’s guidance in the things he taught, and there can be no question that God raised him up to carry out a very special work for him at a critical time in Christian history." Wheeler continues with an important distinction: “However, I think nearly all Christians would agree that Luther’s prophetic gift was not the same as that of the biblical writers, who spoke and wrote with God’s authority.” Could we agree with this claim? Well, we can certainly agree that Martin Luther was not a modern-day Moses or Elijah. But could he be even a lower-tier prophet? For someone to be a prophet of God, he need to be speaking God’s words. After all, the word “prophet” comes from the Greek "prophētēs," which can be translated as “spokesman.” A prophet is speaking on behalf of God. Time does not permit a complete examination of all of Luther’s teachings and whether they align with the Word of God preserved in Sacred Scripture and Tradition. But what can be considered, and what is less subjective, is the markings of a prophet, and whether Luther possessed those. Read on: bit.ly/3R2BuBA

Twelve months into his pontificate, here's what stands out the most about Pope Leo XIV: 🧵

One year is not enough time to define a papacy. The more difficult tests—internal Church governance, long-term credibility, and international diplomacy—lie ahead. But if the first twelve months are any indication, Pope Leo XIV is shaping something significant. His is a papacy that insists that peace is not passive, that continuity can be creative, and that the Church’s most compelling voice may be the one that listens first.
