Even the Constitution requires a court to interpret it, because individuals have fools for council. The chaos and consequences of not having a supreme court, with each and every American interpreting it on their own, would be mortal. Prots are playing with spiritual mortality.

Her husband tried confessing to a Protestant pastor. The pastor froze. Catholic priests didn't because John 20 gave them the power. 𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴_𝘯𝘰𝘸_𝘪𝘮_𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮

Death can come suddenly. Always be in a state of grace. Go to confession frequently. Avoid all sin but especially mortal sin. Be in a state of constant prayer.

Who is this priest!? Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥

🧵 Could a Fallible Church ➡️Canonize ➡️an Infallible Bible? Let’s unpack the principle of causality — and the metaphysical truth that an effect can never be greater than its cause — and see what it means for Scripture. ✝️ 🧵

I could use your help with my fundraiser on GoFundMe. Please share, support, or donate—every small action counts. gofund.me/dbed5277 As suggested by @CodeNameOFP - I am asking Catholic Twitter for help in getting to Mass. I hate to do this, because I feel as though I’m taking advantage of people, but becoming a Catholic is so important to me.

The Jews react in a similar way in St John's Gospel when Christ says that men must eat his flesh in order to have eternal life. "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" The Eucharist is not dirt, it is not mere bread, it is the flesh of the Incarnate Logos.

Jesus was sinless by His own divine nature, but Mary was preserved from sin by the grace of God (Luke 1:28, “full of grace”). Just as God set apart prophets and holy figures for His purpose, He uniquely prepared Mary to bear the sinless Son of God. Nowhere does the Bible say everything God does must be explicitly written in Scripture (John 21:25), and rejecting a doctrine simply because it isn’t spelled out in one verse ignores how Christianity has always understood revelation—through both Scripture and Sacred Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15).

"I can't wrap my head around that." But you can for the Trinity? The hypostatic union of Christ's two natures? The multitude of miracles Jesus performed? That's merely picking and choosing which mysteries of faith to accept and reject, based upon it being too Catholic or not.

The Bible was compiled by the early Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, to be read and used in the context of the liturgy. The Catholic Church, through councils such as Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage (397 AD), formally recognized the canon of Scripture that was already being used in the Mass. The Scriptures were never meant to be isolated from the Church that preserved and interpreted them; they were always intended to be proclaimed, understood, and lived within the worshiping community.

The deepest possible relationship one can have with Jesus is through full communion with Him in the Holy Eucharist, where we receive His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity (John 6:53-56). This is the most intimate union possible on earth, as we become one with Christ in a mystical and sacramental way. Beyond receiving Him in the Eucharist, the deepest relationship with Jesus involves total surrender, uniting our will to His (Luke 22:42), participating in His suffering (Colossians 1:24), and living in a state of grace through the sacraments. This deep union is exemplified by the Mystical Marriage, experienced by saints like St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross, where the soul becomes fully conformed to Christ in love and suffering. Ultimately, this relationship reaches its fullest expression in Heaven, in the Beatific Vision, where we will see Him face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12) and share in His divine life for eternity.

TULIP doesn’t give God all the glory—it strips Him of His justice, mercy, and love. It turns Him into a tyrant who arbitrarily saves some and damns others with no real choice involved. True glory is found in God’s perfect balance of justice and mercy, where He desires all to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4) and gives everyone the grace to respond freely (Matthew 23:37). Forced salvation and predestined damnation don’t glorify God—they distort His nature and hat’s called blasphemy my friends.

TULIP distorts the Gospel by denying free will, God’s universal love, and the necessity of perseverance. It turns salvation into an arbitrary decree rather than a loving relationship with God, making it one of the most dangerous theological errors in Christian history.
