    USCCB Mandates “Political Correct” Passion Disclaimer Bulletin Inserts

    The article asks why now for this? I would assume it's because of the extreme rise of anti-semitism. Example: Between Oct. 7 and Dec. 7, ADL recorded a total of 2,031 antisemitic incidents, up from 465 incidents during the same period in 2022, representing a 337-percent increase...

    US Catholic bishops listen to transgender people in closed-door meeting

    I would assume to protect the privacy of those they were speaking with.

    US Catholic bishops listen to transgender people in closed-door meeting

    Transgender people are suffering from a mental illness and rarely does it work to tell someone who has a mental illness they just need to get over it. They need the right kind of treatment, care and compassion to have a chance. Those suffering from a mental illness are often not accountable...

    The False Christ of The Chosen

    That's a personal choice everyone must make and I won't cast stones either way. I've only watched the first season and don't know if I'll go beyond that or not. My concern is when people cry "wolf," it makes it easier for a real wolf to be ignored. Age old fable that still applies.

    The False Christ of The Chosen

    Thanks MIchie. I'm slowly working my way through these. I think my issue is with the word "heresy". Per the catechism -- "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the...

    The False Christ of The Chosen

    Has anyone seen a comprehensive list with examples of the heresies that are supposed to exist in the Chosen? I don't have time to listen to two hours of podcasts he shares, and this article and the one he links to says they exist but don't give any concrete examples. Seems to focus more on...

    Could This Be True?

    It's more than sufficient. From Clement to Irenaeus to Augustine, there is a clear understand that the early church believed the apostles appointed successors and there was a clear, known line who those men were, especially in the chair of Peter. The claim reminds me of one I ran into one time...

    Could This Be True?

    The article says: "Interestingly, there are also no lineages for the first several hundred years of popes." St. Augustine would beg to differ. From his Letter 53: For if the lineal succession of bishops is to be taken into account, with how much more certainty and benefit to the Church do...

    Sola Scriptura and Basic Illogic

    Another fallacy, that Jesus “relied” on Scripture. That thought places the God-breathed (Scripture) above God Himself! Jesus had no dependency on Scripture! And he shows that quite clearly. Two examples: If Jesus had relied on Scripture alone he never could have said ‘You have heard that it...

    Sola Scriptura and Basic Illogic

    The ‘word’ they received with great joy was the ORAL proclamation of the Gospel — that the person of Jesus Christ had fulfilled those Scriptures and risen from the dead. That ‘’word” was nowhere to be found in their Scriptures to validate what Paul said. They simply accepted that without...

    Sola Scriptura and Basic Illogic

    If you actually put the passage with the Bereans in context it disrproves sola-Scriptura. And the Thessalonians were the ones who were practicing it. That the Bereans prove sola-Scriptura is a fallacy, they actually deny it. St. Paul argued with the Thessalonians from Scripture. They had...

    Pope approves blessings for same-sex couples if they don't resemble marriage

    He said he deliberately ignored any media (secular or otherwise) and read the document. Then he asked the same question I asked. What specific part of the document is in error? So far, crickets.

    Pope approves blessings for same-sex couples if they don't resemble marriage

    It's still in effect based on the document I read. After affirming that marriage is the union between a man and a woman, the document says this: "This is also the understanding of marriage that is offered by the Gospel. For this reason, when it comes to blessings, the Church has the right...

    Pope approves blessings for same-sex couples if they don't resemble marriage

    I would encourage you to not only read his book but also observe his posts on social media. After doing so I don't have any doubt he thinks the Church should completely approve and endorse gay marriage as a sacramental union. He wants the teaching to change. But he is often very sly and...
