I feel like the amount of time it would take to do this would more than suffice to just memorize it beforehand.

Three things can be true:
1) The Church of the living God *should* aspire to fitting external expression of what it is.
2) Current best “aesthetics and aura” gives zero indication of truth.
3) The dresses on the left, and the mitres on the right, actually look kinda silly.
Dume@gietzschean
No religious institution comes close the Roman Catholic church in terms of aesthetics and aura. Second to none.

Yeah, I took this quiz and found the results kind of worthless because like half the questions had multiple correct and legitimate answers.

This question stinks because where is the “All of the above” button?

@JohnVanMieghem @Young_Anglican It’s an accurate term used by those who don’t concede some of your sectarian assumptions, and consequently won’t concede the name catholic. I don’t use it pejoratively.
English
@ds_hoffman @Young_Anglican Roman Catholic is a made up pejorative term used by Prots and EOs
We are Catholic

The Daily Wire is like 85% Romanists. The idea that Candace Owens, or guys like Nick Fuentes are being targeted because they are Roman Catholic (rather than just bad Roman Catholics) is a bit of a stretch.

Why does the Daily Wire spend so much time attacking Catholics?!

@JohnVanMieghem @Young_Anglican Roman Catholic is the portion of the catholic church that feels duty-bound to be in absolute subjection to the dictates of the bishop of Rome.

@Young_Anglican What’s Roman Catholic.
I’ve only heard of Catholic

@BlueBeam420 @BrightInsight6 Society has way more inertia, and less of an attention span, than people give credit for.

@BrightInsight6 But they don't want to. It would cause societal collapse

A SECOND SPHINX discovered on the Giza Plateau?
People are going to debate the validity of this new SARS scan forever. Enough debate.
Dig a test-hole and find out, it’s right there
They could find out if this is a real discovery by the end of the weekend if they wanted to…

@JamesDueck @JohnVanMieghem 1) There aren't
2) Their distinctions do not all stem from differences in interpretation/theology anyway
3) The premise of your criticism—that the church must exist as an administratively hierarchical pyramid, dictated from an absolute monarch at the top, is question begging.

@ds_hoffman @JohnVanMieghem Sola Scriptura is the reason there are 30,000+ Protestant denominations.

Sola Scriptura = My Opinion of Scripture

I will come to Rome after it changes every single doctrine that I disagree with,lol

The “moral clarity” is why, despite being fantasy, LOTR—probably more than anything else today—feels like a refreshing return to sanity and reality.
Tyler C@tyler_austin55
"There's far too much moral clarity." Yeah, that's the point, you dorks.

Children of Húrin, if done right, would probably be far too depressing and heavy to make it as a popular movie.
That isn’t a criticism of the book, which is incredible.

Why doesn't Hollywood attempt to adapt Tolkien's great tales instead of inventing their own slop?

@pastoraldoleon According to Hebrews 11, the judges are good models, actually.

Doing “your own writing” is a redundant expression. Giving AI a prompt, and then using what it spits out, is really no different than using a long quote. It isn’t your writing in any sense.

AOC: As far as AI, I, I do not regularly integrate it into my daily life, but I know many people do. For me, a lot of my job is writing-based, and I like to do my own. I’m old fashioned.

@MikeG04782097 @gavinortlund It is a topic of mainstream discussion in media now, and among high ranking government officials (Senators, Secretary of State, Intelligence officials, etc), and the world's largest podcasts.
People wonder. Why would the church ignore?
English
@MikeG04782097 @gavinortlund Another explanation is that there was recently sworn public congressional testimony regarding encounters with unidentified and inexplicable aerial phenomena and recovery of unknown biological material, Trump's recent orders to declassify UAP files, etc.
It's worth addressing.

@MikeG04782097 @gavinortlund I believe Richard Baxter addressed it as well, though I don't recall where.
Richard Bentley, Master of Trinity College at Cambridge, in a 1692 lecture there.
