@notabreadliner@BornAgainBalaky@Catholic_bro Council of Rome (382), Council of Hippo (393), both councils of Carthage (397,419), Council of Nicaea II (787), and the Council of Florence (1442).
@BornAgainBalaky@Catholic_bro You are spot on bro. Absolutely no Bible before the reformation had those books in it. Bibles have always had 66 books and Catholics tried to add them back in at the council of Trent.
Baptism has given me a sense of buoyancy and levity that I haven’t had since I was a child.
Life seems brighter. It feels like I can finally breathe. I can access a calmness that wasn’t available to me before.
I feel like I have an anchor at long last. A place that I can retreat to in my heart if I want a moment of peace.
I am so thankful. I know I’m only at the beginning of my journey, but I already feel that this was the right decision despite what I sacrificed.
None of my family understand. My fiancé’s family don’t either. To them it seems like a momentary snap decision, that I’m not really serious, that’s it’s just a phase.
They don’t understand the depth of the calling to home I’ve been feeling, and the way in which the Catholic Church, and God, have answered that call.
The path to this latest psychopathic, genocidal declaration was prepared by many years of excuses of the inexcusable by those who should know better; by years of turning a blind eye to objective evil by reframing it as merely a tactic in pursuit of a supposedly greater good.
No one of conscience can go along with this. Indeed, we have a duty to raise our voices against it!
COVID 2020 was the tell of all tells that something was very, very wrong with this man. De facto communism, “vaccines,” the cessation of public worship, endless enslaving debt, lockdowns, etc. He is not what he claimed to be. He is playing a role assigned to him by higher powers. But for the COVID monstrosity as well, even this most antichristic, inexcusable event in world history was provided an endless list of excuses by those who should know better, despite ZERO repentance of any kind from Trump. And that, perhaps, is the very purpose of Trump: to weaponize promises of an elusive political victory for the righteous to draw them into excusing evil, and thereby blinding themselves to it. The wicked are already deceived. The prime target of the diabolical is the righteous, who are destroyed by evil when they justify it.
And now evil is staring us in the face, obvious, explicit, and unflinching. I hope to God it truly is “bluster.” But even if it is, such abuse of the tongue by the world’s most powerful temporal ruler can NEVER be excused or ignored. It is madness, and if you excuse this, there is nothing in principle you cannot excuse. You have become a mouthpiece for evil, willing to abuse your own tongue—by which human beings imitate the very creative act of God—for the sake of an illusory worldly political agenda.
“But for Wales…”
If you had the eyes to see COVID for what it was, none of this surprises you. Indeed, you know that even worse possibilities remain on the horizon.
PRAY AND FAST FOR HIM, and for the fate of the world that rests on his decision.
