I listened to the girls gone Bible podcast with Fr Trenham too and my take away was
1. Fr Trenham is a man destined for sainthood
2. What exactly was that woman talking about when she said she was on a “Eucharist journey” and was giving herself communion every day at home by herself for weeks???
Does that mean she just got a cracker from her cupboard and some juice ate it and told herself it was communion?? Is this a thing evangelicals are doing???

I actually listened to the girls gone bible podcast with Father Josiah out of curiosity. My conclusion is mega church nondenom world is going to be wrecked by Catholicism and Orthodoxy. These mega churches are full of people who really do want to follow God but are swimming in an intellectual and theological abyss. When confronted with apostolic Christianity with its consistency, spirituality, authority, logical consistency, historical continuity, and above all holiness, they have no real defense apart form the minority that will simply put up a wall, shut down their brain, and become juvenile Catholic haters. Big evangelical podcasts platforming priests, like these girls and Bryce Crawford did, is going to start an avalanche of conversions in my humble opinion, and I’m very thankful for it.

@MandalorianGe0 @GeoChonker What does any of that have to do with determining whether or not lay people can baptize?
English
@disasterchief @GeoChonker He was also less than the least in Heaven and we are baptised in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our Baptism should be stronger.

Im genuinely confused what Catholics think is wrong with this

Baptizing my daughter has brought a lot of the crazies out.

@SmitheeAll88909 @GeoChonker Scripture says multiple times entire households were baptized after Christs ascension. Infants are included in households. Case closed.
English
@disasterchief @GeoChonker Yes all those infants John baptized.

@AtheistTakes Atheists love calling us the people who believe in magic and fairytales but they all seem to have this magic crystal ball that sees in the past, future, and peoples hearts.

@inmypoloshirt Im too white to understand the story. Did he steal somebodies debit card or something? How's he buying shit with gift cards?
English
@MandalorianGe0 @GeoChonker Sure, and the person who baptized him Jesus called "the greatest man born to a woman". This was not a regular lay person.
English
@MiddleMindset @GeoChonker Again extremely rare circumstantial cases. Even in war theres usually plenty of priests.
English
@MiddleMindset @GeoChonker Only Baptized Orthodox Christians in extreme emergency circumstances, however these are extremely rare - to the point of being completely unnecessary.
English
@RevertedToRome @GeoChonker Again im Orthodox, not Roman Catholic, you guys think if a practicing Satanist baptized someone with correct form matter and intent it would be valid. Couldn't be me!
English
@disasterchief @GeoChonker Laymen can validly baptize, and it can be done anywhere. Historically they would train Catholic nurses to baptize when babies weren’t going to survive.

@tenreqified @pokemon_bb92960 Took too long to find him in the comment section but good for you, agreed.

Similar to "rage rooms" I could see the appeal of going to a place where you can just blow off steam by convulsing and utterly freaking out like you're in a mosh pit, and everyone around it will just celebrate. This however has zero spiritual implications and is probably demonic.

You get a certain age and realize this is all a show

@GloveAcademia @FChristopher77 He does, and if you read the lives of the saints youll quickly see a pattern of what that something is (theosis)

@SouthernMB82 And when then dad has finally had enough he'll just hit em with a loud "WELL...." (or "WELP" if closer to the midwest)

If you grew up in the South, you know what is happening in this picture.
My great-grandmother hugs her friend goodbye in the driveway while still chatting. Her friend’s husband stands there with her purse knowing full well he still has at least 15 minutes before they actually leave. Does he want to complain? Maybe, but he knows he is just as guilty as her when it involves his friends. Meanwhile, my mother twirls around in the driveway trying to patiently wait for the grown-ups to finish visiting with each other without getting her dress dirty.
This scene is replayed throughout the South every day.
We call it the Southern goodbye.
The practice has remained engrained in our culture for generations upon generations. I pray it continues for generations to come.
