ok ok, I was wondering also. So then maybe we would simply have to agree to disagree about whether there is such a strong link between climate and environment.

ascribing to yourself superpowers that you do not have. How on earth (pun not intended) would you go about that? Boil some water and throw it into the ocean?

"climate" is the 30 year average of the weather. "environment" is what is in the soil, like what should be there and what should not be there. I avoid dropping batteries or plastic or other stuff in the wrong places. That is good precaution. But the climate - man, that is simply the weather...

climate and environment are 2 different matters

So this "make America great again" Did he do it? Did the average economic outlook for an american improve as a result of initiatives that Trump conducted? Maybe hard to estimate, since we learned that Biden rolled back most of what Trump had done

can you elaborate on this for a non-american? In my country, there has been a severe anti-Trump media coverage for his whole presidential term. So the facts about how it went for USA are not well known to us here in Denmark.

I had a friend who stated that he never wanted anything to do with the sacraments. I guess and hope he didnt know what he was talking about

Having been evangelical for 23 years before I converted to catholicism, I have a desire to respond to this. But realizing that you may not be at the point where all this is relevant, it will be a sketched answer only. You state in your sidebar that you are "christian", which on this forum would...

I cannot get the text that you are quoting here, so there is no way to confirm the veracity of your words, or to establish how much of it is direct quote and how much is your rewording. Sunday is the day that Jesus rose from the dead, and thereby fulfilled his work for us (Romans 4:35). So...

You already know the answer. The sabbath is no longer a mandatory day off. Jesus did not require it in the NT. He did require the other 9. How could this be difficult? p.s. you probably do not need to answer the question which is more like rhetorical. Because I know full well what the sda's...

Funny thing that sda's (seventh day adventists) are better versed in what the catholic church believes than I am. I stick to the Bible. And I have probably said it before, but ... the catholic church is the church that provides the best fit to the Bible as I know it until now

is this a ragequit?

Right, so my original postulate is that what people think of as the catholic "tradition", really refers to 100's of years of church fathers interpreting scripture, and coming to some kind of level in understanding scripture. So now you want to point to salvation as an issue where supposedly the...

Another point which you probably have not yet seen, is that when Jesus calls Mary "woman", it is not a statement of disrespect, rather it refers back to Genesis 3:15. Mary is the woman whose seed shall crush the head of the serpent. So be careful when interpreting "woman" in NT. Also here...

And the gospel of John, written around year 100, 57 years after Marys death in the year 43 according to the sources we have. Why would John in any way waste his time to mention Mary? Writing was expensive in those days. You wouldnt want to waste paper there. Here is a resource on the cost of...
