Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus

Gee, I wonder why Jesus wouldn't have mentioned the actual smallest seed? "The kingdom of heaven is like an orchid seed, the smalle—" "What the heck is an orchid?" "That's not the point." It's called speaking to your audience. It's a parable, not a statement of absolute fact.

Today I interview a priest who was sent away by his bishop to a "psychological care center for priests" simply for being too orthodox. This priest was hooked up to a lie-detector and even told to describe the confessions of former parishioners. substack.com/@padreperegrino…

"the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, [...] Donald J Trump" [citation needed] [evidence does not support claim] [L egomaniac]

This is actually pathetic. It's a stupid gorilla. We don't need to be remembering or mourning a wild animal a decade after its death.

Why did @redeemed_zoomer delete this post?

I still remember the first time I saw this chart. Something inside me died that day.

"According to Jesus we're supposed to turn the other cheek when we're hurt, right?" "Yes. In Jesus' time, a person that backhanded your cheek was treating you as lesser. So you turn the other cheek, forcing them to strike you as an equal." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "The contention is that immigrants are allowed to treat us as lesser because they come from incompatible cultures and attack us. But we can't then tell them no, because that's 'racist'." "That seems contrary to what Jesus taught." "It is, and amazingly so. Non-Christians often seize on the idea that Jesus advocated for non-violence to tell Christians to shut up and take what's being done to them." "Are you sure that's what Jesus taught? It's not like you could ask him personally. He predates you by a millennium, right?" "Jesus makes the same point with the story of giving away your cloak, and with going the extra mile. In the latter's case, a Roman soldier could make an Israelite carry anything like a pack mule for up to a mile. It was a humiliation. But Jesus told them to carry it another mile, to treat the Roman as you would a friend, which would both shame them and force them to treat you as a person instead of a mule." "What about the cloak?" "When you're poor and living in an ancient society, your cloak is vital for getting through the cold nights. In Jesus' time, it was common to get around this by demanding the other person give you their shirt. But if you give them the cloak as well, it is a deliberate provocation: if they take the shirt and cloak, they will be shamed by the community." "And... the good samaritan?" "The point was the man who was a neighbor was not the priest or the Levite, but the one who showed mercy to his neighbor. It doesn't say 'everyone is your neighbor', in fact it states the opposite rather plainly. It's your actions that make you a neighbor, NOT your ethnicity." "So, not everyone is your neighbor?" "The neighbor shows mercy to those who have been hurt." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "Nothing. They've decided it means that you must allow immigrants to raid and attack you and treat you like garbage without retaliation of any sort. You can't even say 'stop it' without being declared racist." "Then why did he bring up Christianity at all?" "Because he's not a Christian and doesn't understand it."

Yaoi garbage. Mangaka drew a female MC but thought it'd be funnier to say it's a male. Might be the worst trope in all of manga.

Catholic sexual morality wins again. This whole situation would never have occurred if they'd both been chaste.

While I'm 100% in favor of mothers staying home with their children, everyone's missing the obvious question: Why is there a 12 midnight when she's using 24-hour time?

My limited study of CSA (child sex abuse) began 25 years ago when I was a behavioral therapist with emotionally disturbed children. I understand my claim seems radical, but here's what I learned: 1/

You cannot baptize someone unwilling. Valid reception of any sacrament requires the proper disposition of the recipient.

While this is sad, we really need to stop referring to pets as "fur babies". It's a misplaced parenting instinct, and it's harmful to our culture and personal wellbeing.

Did you really, actually do the math?@KelloggsUS @KelloggCompany

Religious Liberty Commission member @CarriePrejean1 was reportedly removed for making statements that mirror remarks from the Pope. Removing members for religious viewpoints undermines the very purpose of the Commission. I’m asking two Congressional committees to review.

I'm sorry you didn't read. The subscription is yearly. You are locked into a contract in order to obtain a lower overall price. Just because you pay each month doesn't mean it's a monthy subscription. It's not complicated. Just cancel at the end of the billing cycle.

This post and its replies prove why democracy can never work. The glare is caused by 1. improper installation 2. bad light aim 3. headlights too far off the ground The solution isn't banning the better lights; it's expanding vehicle inspections and restricting grill height.

Thank God this "communion bread" wasn't validly consecrated.

"Where they're coming from" is literally just "boo hoo they're cannibalizing the sales of our garbage overpriced hardware". Nintendo is evil, and nobody should ever buy their hardware. If you must play their games, buy a copy (used if possible) and emulate.
