Patrick Madrid ✌🏼

@catholic_comedy @MrCasey62 Very kind of you. Thank you :)

No, you're right. Mea culpa. Still, you do a lot of heavy lifting off of "here," which is important. Also, you have a lot of joy in your posts, which is desperately needed. You are a modern St. Philip Neri. Let me know if you're ever in AZ and my wife and I would love to take you out for tacos.

I don't understand how people can come on here and have the same arguments with the same people every day and the same Bible verses quoted with nearly the exact same screenshots. Every. Day. God did not call us for this. He called us to be filled with joy and hope.

@catholic_comedy @MrCasey62 I do, yes, but I interpreted your initial comment regarding "how people can come on here" as referring to "here" on X.

@patrickmadrid @MrCasey62 Don't you have a daily radio show where you take calls from all sorts who challenge the Church and Church teachings?

I’d rather be hated for standing up for Jews than loved for hating them.

Thank you, but far, far more admiration and thanks are due to Mr. Casey. He works every day at the thankless but important task of responding with the truth to the incessant nonsense directed at the Catholic Church. I’ve written a few articles that may be useful here and there, but he’s the one doing the daily heavy lifting. God bless him!

I have nothing but great respect for the @MrCasey62 and @patrickmadrid types out there doing it, but I cannot fathom being that kind of person who just keeps fighting that same tiresome argument over and over again.

@WRogersM @PMadridShow @relevantradio Thank you 👍🏼

A great source of information and insights on the Catholic Church and life lived in accordance with the Catholic Church's teachings. Live discussion of these, and a wide range of issues, is available daily on @PMadridShow on @relevantradio -- unpredictable, informative and entertaining.

@MrCasey62 He was a blind guide and false teacher who deceived many. And still does.

Here’s another reminder. Never once in God’s 73 books of the Bible did God ever say this. 😎

The Whole Enchilada Yes, all of it. A complete index of every article published on my Substack (so far). patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/the-whole-en…

Whether or not Marcus Aurelius ever said this, it’s still worthy advice: “When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

@kbeehattie 👀 Thank you, but, no, that’s far too revolting and heinous to discuss on the show. “For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. (Ephesians 5:12)

@patrickmadrid this would be a good one to talk about on your show

Not really worth the effort beyond pointing out that the “great doctors of the Church” he extols were exemplars of fasting and other penitential practices, especially during Lent. The very things he proposes we eschew. “In the remotest part of the wild and stony desert, burned up by the fierce heat of the sun . . . I lived for years on barley bread and water, and often I was weeks without tasting even that.” — St. Jerome, Letter 22 to Eustochium “Let us use these days of Lent to correct our faults and purify our souls by fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.” — St. Augustine, Sermon 205

I would love to see someone like @MrCasey62 , @ShamelessPopery , or @patrickmadrid take a few minutes and shred this OpEd to pieces.

The Biblical Case for the Intercession of the Saints patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/any-friend-o…

@MrCasey62 If I may, here’s a resource for going deeper into the biblical issues at play here: open.substack.com/pub/patrickmad…

There’s nothing more laughably ludicrous than those who’ve never prayed to Mary telling Catholics that Mary never heard all the prayers she’s answered.

As a sinner in need of God’s mercy and grace, Ezekiel 18:25-28 is very encouraging to me!

@MrCasey62 If I may, two resources that discuss that issue in detail: patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/the-catholic… and patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/do-catholics…

Follow-up from yesterday: even Grok knows Missy lies.

@MrCasey62 But, but, s0la ŞcRǐPțŨrA!!! 😵‍💫

Well, this is awkward. This is clear proof that Evangelicals’ assertion— • that the Bible, NOT their opinion, is their “highest authority”; • that the Bible is SO “clear”; • AND that “the Holy Spirit guides their interpretation” —is complete hogwash.

@BKSTOKES @MrCasey62 It's not though. To actually be an ad hominem fallacy would entail his attacking Helvidius's character rather than his argument, which he doesn't. Rather, he mocks how H. argues and his poor exegesis.

@patrickmadrid @MrCasey62 This criticism by Jerome sounds primarily like an Ad Hominem attack.

Sometime after Protestantism was born, the 1500-year-old BIBLICAL teaching that Mary remained a perpetual virgin, which was accepted BY THE REFORMERS, was thrown in the trash by a bunch of people who didn’t like it. 🧵
