@StayRight239 @TaylorRMarshall @HoneyTongueMuse @DianeKamer I understand that technically they are "legal"

@funkpower316 @TaylorRMarshall @HoneyTongueMuse @DianeKamer Any Catholic can get an indulgence, they’re for the whole Church, not just the West.

There's a common misconception about the Divine Mercy Sunday promises. No, you cannot get a remission of the temporal punishment due to sin without being detached from sin on this feast day. A) St. Faustina never said that, and B) That's not how any of this works.

@timotheeology @riecker Byzantine Catholics dont really do indulgences

Catholics: please remember @riecker's message here to go to Confession tonight or tomorrow and receive the Eucharist tomorrow at Mass for an easy Divine Mercy Sunday plenary indulgence

@CaraCookDennis1 @TaylorRMarshall @HoneyTongueMuse @DianeKamer I love it, very true

@funkpower316 @TaylorRMarshall @HoneyTongueMuse @DianeKamer Our Churches, Liturgies and Liturgical culture have not been tainted in the same manner as the Latin Church. God revealed these to the Latin Church to get her through her tribulation. It is their Manna while they wander in the wilderness.

@TLM_Ryan @TD_Barrett But not if your Eastern Catholic.. lol I agree to much confusion

@TD_Barrett Under the new rules you still have to do a penance on Friday under pain of sin so…

Nobody knows if you can eat meat or not because the council changed literally everything and now nobody knows wtf to do. It’s all so diabolically tiresome

@TaylorRMarshall @HoneyTongueMuse @DianeKamer Eastern Catholics don't do indulgences, the whole thing feels weird and legalistic to me, we have a medicinal view of Sin

This is why Faustina’s visions were held as suspicious in the late 1950s. Cardinal Ottaviani worried that if the Divine Mercy Sunday promise were indeed ex opere operato (as many preachers then and now claim), it would be on par with sacraments and baptism in particular. DM Maximalists say it's ex opere operato. DM Minimalists say it's “just another indulgence.”

@MerlesWorld @reconquistaman @RealBenMichael @TexasPreacher Who cares if the bible supports it? That's a dumb protestant standard that it has to be in the Bible.

@reconquistaman @RealBenMichael @TexasPreacher Dove deep, attended liturgies, listened to debates, studied history still not Orthodox or Catholic. Marian Dogmas just can't get past them. Dormition and Assumption? Just nothing biblical to support it.

I've noticed young men are into RCC/EO because it's trendy, not bc it's true. They like the colors, buzz, & pomp of the thing. It's cooler than to settle for the simplicity of Christ & worshipping Him in Spirit & truth. It's vainglory that leads them, not the Spirit of God.

You're doing exactly what I am critiquing by using Latin scholastic categories to define Eastern reality. Cleanly separating theological expression from a framework of truth is a Western rationalist word game. The East has an independent theological system. Palamism versus Thomism. Our framework rests on the Essence-Energies distinction while yours rests on Absolute Divine Simplicity. Those are fundamentally different philosophical and ontological frameworks, not just diverse expressions or a Byzantine coat of paint on Roman theology. We share dogmatic communion. We dont share your philosophical operating system.

@funkpower316 @maistrehispano You’re conflating different theological expressions with different frameworks of truth. Eastern Catholics don’t have an independent system, and you share our same dogmatic definitions, expressed through a different tradition. That’s not “non-submission" but diversity in unity.

"Vatican II is heretical" "No it isn't. Vatican II is orthodox" "Have you read it?" "No. Have you?" "No"

@AizenCatholic Go to substack, much better community

Novus Ordites larp as if this modern church would ever dare to even excommunicate an actual heretic. They don’t love you, they actively hate you unless you’re a third world pagan syncretic. Sick and tired of how spergy so many “Catholics” act on this site

To answer your red herring... you're confusing dogmatic communion with theological uniformity. Eastern Catholics aren't Romans with a different liturgy. We don't need to use scholastic epistemology, we even have a different code of canon law. The Catholic communion means accepting two different frameworks to express the same mystery of dogmatic truth, it doesn't mean submitting to Latin rationalism.

@funkpower316 @maistrehispano Is that even the position of Eastern rite Catholics, aren't you supposed to accept all our theology, that sounds like Orthodox criticisms

I'm not talking about 1962 vs 1965. The TLM itself is a scholastic novelty. Rome has spent a millennium building a progressive framework of novelty. The Church began choosing human logic over living tradition. That rationalism birthed Scholasticism, which inevitably birthed the Reformation and secular modernity. The Fathers didn't need Inter Mirifica for screen time. 1st millennium asceticism, continued in the Philokalia, perfectly equips us for modernity without engineering a new pastoral orientation for the 1960s. Philip Sherrard’s The Greek East and the Latin West is a great read on this analysis.

@funkpower316 @maistrehispano Is it? It wants a Latin Mass with chant and organ -- just wants readings and prayers in the vernacular. What do the fathers say about the media, about television, film, newspapers? Inter Mirifica (and Communio et Progressio) say a lot about those things and it's incredible.

@20th_Centurygal Too much TV wathcing

I'm horrified of this incident that took place on Route 28 in Pittsburgh today...this poor man was knocked unconscious...People have seriously lost their minds...😔🙏

@MarkN20967 @maistrehispano That's nice but it's not the patristic faith. It's a new novelty.

@maistrehispano I've been reading it and find it to be a total work of genius, the definitive orientation towards the world around us. It is totally misunderstood, and, crucially, "Vatican II has [largely] never been tried."

@Psych_soldier @DrRemilio This is an absolutely insane take.

@DrRemilio L Poland. We just need them out of our government and institutions of power; we don't need to encourage violence against them.

I love how Poland celebrates Easter by making a Jew doll so all the little kids can beat it with sticks W Poland

For the first 300 years of Christianity, the belief that fallen entities taught destructive tech to man was mainstream orthodoxy, not "paganism." - Irenaeus (Apostolic Preaching 18): Angels taught mankind botany, metallurgy, and incantations - Justin Martyr (Second Apology 5): Demons subdued humanity by teaching destructive arts It’s not hard to look at nuclear weapons, gene editing, ai surveillance, gain of function, synthetic opiates, or even something like televisions which are now placed on "altars" in peoples homes and see the exact same demonic fingerprints.

People don't realise how unhinged Tucker is. He literally believes the US gov is in cahoots with demons building new technology.

Whenever an Evangelical or Presbyterian tells you that a crucifix, icon or holy water is superstition and does nothing, ask them if it would be healthy to hang a pentagram or Satanic goats head in their home, drink things blessed by witches, or put an ouija board on their kitchen table as a decoration, or if that might have some kind of negative effect. If they say that would be dangerous, accuse them of superstition. Their gnostic impulse stems from their inability to see the intercession behind the object in the case of Christian objects. A crucifix is a prayer, and that object does offend demons. Holy water is baptismal water, and serves as an additional intercession when used. Icons are prayer windows that enable international prayer. Pray for Protestants, as the devil is seeking to separate them from intercession and types of intercession. That of the glorified Saints, and powerful Incarnational prayer.

@ArchbishopBased @MDLatinMass Arguing over the timing of foot washing as if it's a theological crisis is the peak of Autism.

@MDLatinMass Yes I have been to Mass there many times. 1962 Triduum is rubbish. And the SSPX do the Mandatum during Mass. CRINGE.

From Saint James Church in Pittsburgh: the 2026 Easter Triduum begins with Maundy Thursday High Mass & repose of the Blessed Sacrament. You'll never see a priest or Bishop from the SSPX at a White House heretic prayer service. That's why we need more of them.

@BishopBarron Sad to see a bishop drawing our attention to error

Friends, if Judas’s betrayal of the Lord wasn’t enough to earn him a place in Hell, then his suicide, most theologians agree, certainly sealed the deal. I want to draw your attention today to a counter-view—admittedly in the minority—which is the subject of my reflection published by Fox News. fxn.ws/3O9F0sG

@timotheeology It's an easy sell for Eastern Catholics

Of the first 49 popes, 48 were saints Since then, only 33/218 have been canonized: a good portion of the non-canonized popes were called by holy Church historians "seculum obscurum," "pornocracy," "rule of harlots." Bad men. Learn a little history & become a papal minimalist

@TheStaad I thought the Roman church broke off when the Roman Pope was excommunicated by the other 4 Patriarchs of the Pentarchy. In that sense it started in 1054 although it has a link to early church.

Catholicism isn’t a denomination It is the universal Church—this is what the word “Catholic” means Denominations are a Protestant invention The Catholic Church has always been “the Church”—for 2000 years Denominations began to appear 1500 years after the Church was founded They are dilutions at best and perversions at worst

@StephenKokx This looks so skittles, gross

- Fr. John Lydon was present at the 1995 pachamama symposium along with Prevost. - Lydon lived with Prevost from 1990 until 1999 in Trujillo at the Augustinian house. - Lydon also served as the Secretary General for the Organization of Augustinians of Latin America, which in 1993 published a blasphemous 'creed' that said God was the 'Father and Mother of Life.' - More recently, Lydon has worked as the Director of the Mother Cabrini Institute on Immigration at Villanova, where he graduated in 1977 along with Prevost.
