@LizzieMarbach Do you actually think he's referring to the ideology of the American Democratic Party?? Please tell me you don't...

I’m not. I posted the link for all to go read his full letter. The belief “the episcopate system is good” is completely different from “the apostles taught the episcopate and if you hold to only two offices, you are outside of the apostolic tradition!” The first position is perfectly reasonable. The second is not.

Jerome explicitly taught that bishops and presbyters were the same office in scripture & that Paul prescribed two offices in the church. “When the apostle clearly teaches that presbyters are the same as bishops…” “The following passage clearly proves a bishop and a presbyter to be the same.” “The fact is that the word bishops includes presbyters also.” newadvent.org/fathers/300114…

@LizzieMarbach Ok but I’m asking if I’m someone in the let’s say 2nd century and I can’t read (not many could back then) how can I know what they are teaching me is correct if I can’t test their claims against the scripture myself? Who do I appeal to?

@LizzieMarbach @iam_shwa What unites believers?? Is it simply belief that Jesus is God Incarnate and that he died to save us? Is that all that Christ meant by "I pray they might be one"?

@iam_shwa Correct! I agree that the church is one flock—the universal body of all believers. Rome doesn’t believe this. Rome says that those who aren’t even in His flock can be saved.

I am for going back to everyone abstaining from meat on Friday. We do it in our house. Until that is the rule again, however, we have no need to "call out" anybody publicly.
Bree Solstad@BreeSolstad

Can’t decide which is worse. A Catholic account with 128,000 followers brazenly posting about eating meat on Fridays, the dozens of Catholic replies celebrating it, or the fact that I can’t find a single reply from a Catholic calling her out for it? We are so soft and weak.😔🥹

Bree my friend - you seem to be heating with a lot of Catholics - and its your right to call out things but there's ways to go about... Be calm & charitable, understand that theres many Catholics from different situations & that sometimes need it slow... Withiut kindness & charitable action, I wouldn't be here either.

2026: Tell Catholics it's a bad look to promote and encourage eating meat on Fridays to fellow Catholics. 💀☠️ All of Church History: Tell Catholics it's a bad look to promote and encourage eating meat on Fridays to fellow Catholics. 👍 🤝 From the earliest centuries, Caholicss observed Friday (and Wednesday) as a weekly day of fasting and penance in memory of Christ’s Passion. Abstinence from flesh meat became the standard, legally obligatory expression of that Friday penance throughout the Latin Church and remained so for more than 1,200 years. The Didache, among the earliest surviving Christian writings, instructs Christians to fast on Wednesday and Friday. It demonstrates that weekly Friday abstinence and penance reaches back virtually to the apostolic age. The later Apostolic Constitutions likewise directs Christians to fast on Friday specifically because it was the day of Christ’s Passion. Its descriptions suggest a fast that could be considerably stricter than simply replacing beef with fish. By the ninth century, Pope Nicholas I is explicitly recorded as teaching that abstinence from flesh meat was enjoined on Fridays. Medieval canonical sources treated it as an already long established obligation. By the modern period, the rule was unquestionably the ordinary law of the Latin Church. So the changes of the 1960s and 1980s were not the abolition of some recent devotional custom. They represented a major relaxation of one of the oldest continuously observed communal disciplines in Christianity. Most countries in the world still hold to the traditional day of abstinence. It is bizarre that the United States was the first and only nation to make such sweeping changes back in 1966. No other nation made even slight changes until the 1980s. But the more I learn about the USCCB, the more this makes sense to me. My view is we should hold to the traditional teachings of the Church. They stood the test of time for a reason. If you're an American, and you don't want to do so, you don't have to. But I would say that posting giddily about eating meat on Friday and encouraging others to do the same is not something Catholics should ever do publicly. This is not a controversial take nor does it deserve the level of vile and personal attacks I’ve seen. If this all means I am engaging in "performative piety" or being "sanctimonious" in your eyes, I don't know what to tell you. You're welcome to call me whatever you like, even if it's untrue. Signed with love for your soul, The "former prostitute who converted 5 minutes ago" ❤️

@BreeSolstad @messi_bararg Well you keep doubling down on the improper at best, and sinful at worst, behavior that you engaged in my going at Honey Badger instead of humbling acknowledging where you were wrong sooo...

@BreeSolstad I know that's what you intended, but sadly that's just a product of not being very self-aware.

Happy Sunday, You can eat all the meat you want today and even encourage others to eat it also. The Lord has risen and we feast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😉

@XCkyro Seriously! If you don’t roll the r in Maria, you’re not Catholic. Everyone knows this.

@BreeSolstad @lukei4655 I'd never stoop so low as to question that your conversion is genuine...but it's certainly not complete, how could it be 2 years into being Catholic?? I would council you again to leave this space and practice humbly submitting yourself to the Catholic hierarchy.

If Jesus Christ—who speaks of Hell more than anyone in the Bible—thought it was very important to preach on Hell then His ordained priests should preach on it also. There are many other good reasons, but this one seems more than sufficient. This shouldn’t be complicated. 🤷‍♀️
Fr. Gabriel T Mosher, OP@lukei4655

I never preach on hell. I don’t understand why anyone would. Maybe a reason exists? Certainly hell is a real consequence. However, I think it’s better pedagogy to point people toward the good. Preaching is, after all, ordered primarily to the movement of the will to the good.

@BreeSolstad Distinction: Our Lord speaks about hell but he never sermonized it. The closest is the story of Lazarus and Dives. My comment clearly isn’t about speaking not about Hell in a sermon. It’s about not making a sermon about Hell.

@BreeSolstad Sorry, but this isn't it. While discipline needs to be changed, attacking people online who aren't violating current law and aren't sinning is no way to behave.
