Contingent being. Roman Catholic by grace. Seeing God, face to Face, is the easiest thing to do in all the world. Why? One does nothing but surrender.

@BillArnoldTeach Whatever you can imagine about heaven, and how the soul becomes happy there, no one can begin to imagine. Someone who has never seen the ocean asked what it is like. The other could only say, "Oh, the vastness! The waves! The roar!"

Relics sound strange only if you already assume matter is spiritually irrelevant. But the Bible never assumes that. Elisha’s bones. Paul’s handkerchiefs. Anointing oil. The hem of Christ’s garment. God loves working through matter.

Not sure if you’ve ever seen @BishopBarron’s interview with @benshapiro, where +Barron spews some nonsense about how Jews can be saved under the Old Law (without baptism) and that Jesus is the “privileged path,” but not the only path, to heaven. @CarriePrejean1 @timotheeology
Bishop Robert Barron@BishopBarron

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

@UcheMaryOkoli The GIRM is silent on what the laity are to do with their hands during the Our Father. Best to not place burdens on people who come to worship God. If the hand gestures of others bothers one then one needs to better focus on the words of the Lord's Prayer.

The look on my face when I see Catholics at Mass making the orans posture. Don't do that tomorrow when you go for Mass. Oran posture is for the priest alone.

Of course, either one follows the Extraordinary Magisterium, or one doesn't. Only the teaching Church instituted by Christ has the authority from God to define itself. All others who pontificate about the faith do so without any authority. You would do well to become a Traditional Catholic and offer your religious submission of mind and will to at least try to understand the Church's teachings.

My heart goes out to such people in an irregular marriage, unable to participate fully in the Mass, because the other divorced spouse wants nothing to do with the annulment process. Amoris Laetitia was written to address the Church's pastoral concerns for such people. I believe that half of all marriages in the U.S. could easily qualify for an annulment, as a valid natural marriage is open to new life and is promise for a lifelong commitment of self-giving to the other. Those who contract a marriage with the idea of contraception or splitting up if it doesn't work out are not validly married in the eyes of God and the Church.

Pope Leo announced that he has called bishops to Rome in October to take part in a process of discernment on how to “proclaim the Gospel to families today in light of Amoris Laetitia.” Amoris Laetitia is a controversial document published by Pope Francis on marriage and family.

Since you have an interest in Catholicism you should consider attending an OCIA class. In it you will learn that Christ established a teaching Church, and it is only the Extraordinary Magisterium which has authority from God to define the contours of the faith and the moral life. Either one follows the Extraordinary Magisterium or else one doesn't.

@UcheMaryOkoli I understand that the water being added to the sacramental wine was an Apostolic tradition whose theological reason has been lost in time. What we have left are conjectures and speculations.

The meaning behind why the priest adds a little water to the wine in the chalice right before the Consecration is truly mind-blowing 🤯. The prayer that accompanies it makes it even more beautiful. 📹 FrManuel

@Edgarson_777 @kalezelden As i pointed out, you have the option of learning the truth about the Amazonian event, or you can stay blissfully ignorant by the narratives you are eating up from grifters and ideologues.

Did I write that it would be easier? Do you think I'm still a Protestant? Do you think 'ideologues and grifters' are on only one side of this? Are you not bothered AT ALL by the pachamama idolatry at Saint Peter's or with Father Prevost participating? Do you not think that both events should be explored? Does not Pope Leo owe us an explanation? If this suits you, go ahead:

@alde_jr Every practicing Catholic is a traditional Catholic, as we adhere to the Sacred Tradition. Some Catholics follow the ideology of tradional-ISM, which is different from being a traditional Catholic.

Quando o 👌 não tem a ver com a calça. A missa é celebrada em latim no Vaticano. O latim é a lingua oficial da Igreja, e do rito latino. Ser tradicionalista não implica ser sedevacantista. Quer liturgia mais tradicionalista do que a realizada na Basílica de São Pedro?
Isaque 🇻🇦@assiscthlc

Está bem, católico tradicional, eu entendi que você é mais católico do que eu só porque reza em latim e rejeita o papa. Agora pare de me encher na DM.

Yes, it is always easier supposedly to fix the Church and the entire world than it is to fix oneself. Protestants are also big on protesting what they don't understand. If you are interested in learning the truth about the so-called pachamama event rather than being manipulated and misled by ideologues and grifters then that is an option open to you.

That is just what the people trying to 'protestantize' the Catholic Church want, conservatives focusing on our personal character while they remake the Catholic Church from the ground up. Just look the other way while they put idols to a nature god on a sacred altar. Absolutely not! It's not a 'suspicion' that worshipping an idol is heresy. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." It's not hard to find that, it's in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS! We are also called to 'judge the spirits', and in Catholic theology it goes far beyond that. And if you haven't noticed the teachings of the Magesterium are being rewritten before our eyes. There is only one way this gets stopped, if it can, and it is NOT by focussing on one's own character, it is exactly by calling this out and protesting it. And that I will continue to do.

Best to focus on building character, virtue and charity within one's own soul than on acquiring more ideological-possession and angst. Best to have the hermeneutic of faith than the hermeneutic of suspicion. Protestants also think they can pontificate on what is heresy. Either one follows the teachings of the Extraordinary Magisterium and honors the Catholic requirement of the religious submission of mind and will to at least try to understand them, or one doesn't.

Rage bait? And it was just rage bait when Francis allowed a pacamama ceremony at the Vatican, where people bowed in worship to an idol of an ancient nature god, and put an idol ON THE ALTAR at Saint Peters? It's just rage bait when then Father Prevost himself bowed to a pachamama, then immediately conducted Holy Mass? Oh, I've done my share of stupid things, but like a man (even when I was a boy) I owned up to them, apologized to the offended, repented and made things right. It's not 'rage bait'. Nor are our complaints about the increasing restrictions of the Latin Mass, nor modern inventions like blessing the marriages/relationships of those in 'irregular relationships' and the reports we're reading from reports of the Synod on Synodality that threaten to dramatically change ancient Catholic Doctrine. We're supposed to just do a Rosary and think happy thoughts? No. If you think the losses the Catholic Church suffered after Vatican II were bad "you ain't seen nothing yet!" We're not talking about 'rage bait'. We're talking about heresy.

@StyliteLight It would be heresy to state the argument is what does the converting and not the grace of God working through something. But when we evangelize and discuss theology we don't presume it is merely the strength of our arguments doing the converting
