Political Winter

@NephilimWatcher @Truth_matters20 No.

@Truth_matters20 The Priests want people to confess their sins to THEM so they can feel like God. Confessing your sins to a Priest is simply feeding into his Narcissism.

The same priests you go to for confession are in just as much need of forgiveness as you are. Do you see how viciously circular that is? Only God can forgive sins.

It may shock you to know that all Catholics know that becoming a priest doesn't make one sinless. It may shock you to know also that Catholics know that it is not the priest who forgives sin. Your post is meant to expose something that doesn't exist for an audience who does not know any better.

@ChristopherHale I'm not sure, but I know why troublemakers in the media would start the fake story that he did.

Why would Donald Trump start a war against the Catholic Church? For 250 years, American Catholics have founded hospitals, built universities, fed the hungry, sheltered refugees, educated children in the poorest corners of the nation, created some of the most beautiful art and music in human civilization, and fought for justice in places where justice had no other advocates. More than any other institution, we built this country.

@JesusisChristX Well, if that's the choice, then the Protestants have to choose between Jesus and every person, himself. Spoiler, by the postings on X most Protestants are choosing one's self.

Catholics will have to choose between Jesus and the pope. Who are you going to choose? A.Pop B.Jesus Christ

@BroSpencer Read again. Keep an open heart. Ask for the Holy Spirit to reach you. .

But that is EXACTLY what Catholicism is!!! It's a merger of paganism with Christian terminology!!! The Eucharist is not in the Bible!!!

@farmingandJesus If you publicly rail on other Christians for practices that are faithful to Christ, yet don't recognize that such attacks are in contradiction of His teachings....

If you publicly rail on LGBTQ for their sin and have a secret porn addiction this is you 👇🏻

I wish the Father had more awareness than to fall into your Us versus Them trap. Of course, now that you all have normalized this, I hope that when the next pro-abortion president gets into office that you're just as supportive of the Catholic Church speaking out, not just theologically and doctrinally, but just as politically.

Father Edward Beck: "I think that Catholics are recognizing that, and they're upset by it. Not only Catholics. I hear a lot of people, Jews, Christians, talking to me, saying, 'What is going on with this president? He's gone off the rails with this. And why is he picking the Pope to have this battle with?'"

@Vitus_osst The squabble between the two of them is nowhere close to a religious dispute of the degree that would warrant anyone claiming adherence to or separation from Catholic doctrine.

You can't be a Catholic and stand against the Pope.

@KevinMeredith @JamesMartinSJ Congratulations on the ugliest yet most nonsensical post I've seen in a long time. Hopefully you wont outdo yourself anytime soon.

F*ck you, f*ck the "Holy Father" and f*ck your whole centuries-long money and graft shakedown. The "Holy father" is a man, not a deity of ANY kind. He knows no more about events in this world than any other man, and he is NO CLOSER TO GOD THAN THE REST OF US. If your boss, the "Holy Father" wants to criticize, he's gonna have to learn to take criticism. YOU may have to kiss his ass, but the rest of us don't.

Dear friends: I don’t know any Catholic in the United States, from the most traditional to the most progressive, who does not have strong feelings about the comments from President Trump and Vice President Vance about Pope Leo XIV. These include not only President Trump’s initial disrespectful Truth Social post about the Holy Father, but also Vice President Vance’s similarly disrespectful comments about Pope Leo having to be “careful” when he speaks about theology. Let me share some of my own feelings. First of all, it is shocking that a President and Vice President would treat such a good, holy and learned man with such disdain. Imagine telling a man with the Holy Father’s learning and experience (and authority) that he doesn’t understand theology sufficiently. What’s more, imagine attacking him as, ridiculously, “weak on crime” or somehow not understanding foreign policy. Second, I’m edified by Pope Leo’s charitable and courageous response to all this. Charitable because he has not responded in any way other than with charity and respect. As some of you may know, I know the Holy Father slightly, thanks to our being seated together at the Synod for two weeks, and know him to be a kind, reserved, discerning and highly intelligent person. In a word, holy. But courageous too: as we have seen during his time in Algeria and Cameroon, Pope Leo has not shied away from continuing to preach the Gospel, and speaking out in favor of peace (and yes, he understands St. Augustine’s concept of the “just war”) and against, as he said today, tyrants and those who would use God’s name to support violence of bloodshed. So, where will this all end? It’s hard to say. But I would imagine that now that the taboo has been broken, politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to. But this will be in vain for two reasons. First, Pope Leo is clearly fearless. A few hours after he was elected as pope, I spoke with a fellow Augustinian priest who had known “Bob” for decades. “He’s a great listener, very kind and much loved.” Then he paused. “But he’s no pushover.” But the main reason that the Pope’s words will be heard is less about Robert Prevost’s own many virtues but something else: the Vicar of Christ will be heard because he is preaching the Gospel. As Jesus told his disciples, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away.” So, in these strange times, fear not.

@JamesMartinSJ Easy, Father. Your politics are well known but you should keep them more disguised. Check the opening salvo from Pope Leo, and weigh that against Donald Trump's response. Then take some breaths and, in another month weigh, each one of them again against the new reality.

Be careful. You're taking the statement of one Catholic and extrapolating that into an indictment of the faith of billions and the original and faithful Church of Jesus Christ. It would be as if I take any one of a number of your statements and extrapolate that to all Protestants -that would not just be unfair to them, it would be ignorant of me.

The statement “Catholics built America” is a 100%, blatant, bald-faced, straight-from-the-pit-of-hell LIE! A statement like that is exactly what Dr. Jordan B. Peterson would call “an anti-truth”—a statement so utterly false that it is a position of complete REBELLION to history, to reality, to all of the facts… to TRUTH itself. OPEN REBELLION TO TRUTH. The reason the USA exists is because Bible-believing, “Sola Scriptura” Protestant Christians were looking for an ESCAPE from the churches of Rome and England.

@CscottLawyer True, but why? It's more profitable and less demanding to partner with some level of exclusivity. Just because you can buy something doesn't make it the smart way to secure the advantages of it.

$NWBO Talk about a partnership with a big pharmaceutical corporation ("BP") is nonsense. BP could buy more than 5% of NWBO on the market for around $20M, file a Form 13D with the SEC after 5 days and continue buying NWBO shares. BP could buy majority for less than $1B.

@TheDemSlayer It's amazing what pictures you can draw when you connect a fraction of the dots rather than all of them. You get an A for creative writing, but a D in history.

CLAIM: The Catholic Church gave us the Holy Bible. You should be grateful! TRUTH: No, the Catholic Church did not give us the Holy Bible. If anything, they kept it from the world. It was the Jews and the Protestants who gave us the Holy Bible—and many of them voluntarily paid for it with their own blood. First and foremost, God Almighty entrusted His Word to the Jews. God’s people received it, recorded it, and faithfully copied it down on scrolls generation after generation. Many Jews willingly gave their lives and subjected themselves to horrific tortures and brutal death at the hands of both Greeks and Romans—all to ensure that the Word of God survived. It was the Jews who canonized all 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Genesis to Malachi), and they did it about 500 years before the Catholic Church even existed. The Catholic Church had ZERO influence determining which books of the “Old Testament” were Scripture. I repeat: ZERO. That was 100% the Jews. The only thing the Catholic Church determined was what books should be included in the New Testament—the same New Testament books that were also written by THE JEWS. So, no, the Catholic Church actually did extraordinarily little when it came to providing the world with the Holy Bible. In fact, the Catholic Church FORBADE the common man from even reading the Bible—desiring to keep the people chained to the pulpit and enslaved to the false teachings and traditions of Catholicism. 1000+ years after the Catholic Church was established, we had the Protestant Reformation that started in 1517 with Martin Luther’s 95 Theses against the Catholic Church. Unlike the Catholic Church that kept the Word of God from the people, the Great Protestant Reformers worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English so the common man could read it and study it for themselves—so that THE TRUTH of God’s Word could set them FREE from the authoritarian rule of the Catholic Church. And like the Jews before them, many of the Reformers willingly gave their lives so that YOU could have the Holy Bible. The Catholic Church literally hunted these courageous men down, imprisoned them, tortured them, and murdered them. The only reason we have the Bible today is because (1) the Jews wrote it and passed it down, and (2) the Protestant Reformers gave their lives to translate it and print it into English. So, no. I’m not grateful to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is an enemy to God and an enemy to the truth of His Word that sets souls free. Stress this point: I am NOT necessarily talking about Catholics—the people. God knows and I know that there are plenty of Catholics who are genuinely wonderful people, and I thank God for them. I’m talking about the Catholic Church itself—the institution and the religion. I’m talking about that theological abomination that has the blood of untold numbers of faithful servants of God on their hands. Thank God for the Jews and the Protestants! Without them, we’d still be chained to the pulpit of the Catholic Church and left in spiritual darkness.

@Truth_matters20 Please name one. Any one, or admit that you're just agitating Catholic hate for profit and notoriety.

Catholics put man-made rituals and traditions ahead of God's word. "'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' And they said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.'" —Acts 16:30-31 Salvation only comes by faith alone in Jesus.

Someone on his team needs to get hold of Gov Beshear and tell him to keep quiet. If he wants to be the nominee in 2028, just be quiet and he'll look smarter than his competition. There are only two reasons why he said something so irresponsibly stupid. Either he believes it and is not nearly the smart guy that the Democrats wish him to be, or he is catering to the Democrat base that he's knows is that stupid.

How does deep red Kentucky elect a commie Democrat for governor?

@yeah_i_saidthat @G_Gozerian1 @NoLieWithBTC @Gdady22 True, but it's the shelter's contract that they're talking about, so stick to the point.

@G_Gozerian1 @NoLieWithBTC @Gdady22 Catholic charities helps more than that.

Trump has suddenly canceled funding for Catholic charities that support homeless children amid his feud with the Pope.

@yeah_i_saidthat @NoLieWithBTC @Gdady22 How many operating shelters are needed for fewer than 10% of the children? You don't think it's right to consolidate, or are you just looking for an excuse to bash him without understanding what's actually happening?

@NoLieWithBTC @Gdady22 So he punishes the people who are in need of those funds? Yep, he's a christian all right 🙄🙄

Do you know how many other shelters there are in this area? Do you think we should keep operating all the shelters that were used when the Biden-permitted child- trafficking rings were sending over 10x the number of children? Or is it just another opportunity to color Trump insensitive and hurtful?

To preserve what's left of your credibility, you have to agree to the reasonable. Mary's widely understood as the New Eve, the New Ark. You can argue against the title Mother of God if you want to go back to the 2nd century gnostics, but not this. You don't even agree with the Reformation leaders. You look for anything to make your point and never really examine your point's own validity.

Look at this photo. She’s on the throne which is the place of Christ. There is a snake under her foot , which the Bible says Christ crushed. They place the creation where the creator belongs. This isn’t the faith of the apostles.

Ah, the "This vaccine was a well tested as any in history" dismissal, except that it wasn't even close to tested as well as many vaccines that don't even make it to market. Some of the most dangerous people on the planet are doctors who have no sense of skepticism or curiosity. Just keep following the government's guidelines, they always know best for healthcare. Maybe you're still following the food pyramid.

Ah yes—the secret hospital in Japan curing ‘spike protein, amyloid clots, and everything else’ with magic filters and stem cells… while the rest of global medicine just somehow missed it. Incredible how these ‘miracles’ only exist on Facebook and never in peer-reviewed journals 😂

I am currently undergoing Life saving Treatment from horrific damage from the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccines. I am here in Japan at Edogawa Hospital. The Treatment is to clear spike proteins, amyloid blood clots, autoantibodies, and misfolding proteins from the blood using dual filter plasmapheresis and using pre-growth stem cells to help my own body repair itself. This is the only place on the entire planet that offers this treatment. I am patient number 14 here and am witnessing nothing short of miracles. Thanks to the brilliant scientist Kevin McCairn and Dr. Mary Talley Bowden for sending me here. It is truly a miracle watching these patients come back to life. It is the most incredible bonding experience of my life with these amazing survivors. I want to give Pfizer a special thank you for the heart damage, severe blood clotting, multiple organ damage, central nervous system damage, brain damage, microvascular small vessel disease, bleeding from the stomach, esophagus, lungs, and sinuses, destroying my thyroid and having it removed, destruction of my sinus cavities, and the graves disease, gastritis, bleeding under the skin that opens up to sores, and best of all, the small fiber neuropathy. For all of the skeptics of vaccine injury, my labs 100% tell the entire story. Follow the science.
