That’s you getting smacked by Paul💧

Socialism is a failed system.

IF JESUS CHRIST ESTABLISHED IT, WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS REJECT IT? This is not a question about sincerity. Many Protestants genuinely love Jesus Christ, read the Holy Scriptures, and sincerely desire to follow Him. The question is this: If Jesus Himself established something, who has the authority to reject it? Jesus founded one Church, not thousands of denominations (Matthew 16:18). Jesus entrusted His Apostles with authority to teach in His name. “He who hears you hears Me” (Luke 10:16). Jesus gave them the authority to forgive sins in His name (John 20:21–23). Jesus declared over the Eucharist, “This is My Body… This is My Blood” (Matthew 26:26–28). He did not say, “This merely symbolizes My Body.” When many of His disciples refused to accept His teaching about eating His Flesh and drinking His Blood, Jesus did not soften His words or call them back. Instead, He allowed them to walk away (John 6:53–69). Jesus commanded the Apostles to baptize all nations (Matthew 28:19) and taught that we must be born of water and the Spirit (John 3:5). Jesus entrusted Peter with the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and commanded him to strengthen his brethren (Matthew 16:18–19; Luke 22:31–32). St. Paul calls the Church “the pillar and foundation of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). Nowhere does the New Testament teach that Christ intended His followers to separate from the Church He founded or to establish new and competing churches. Instead, the Apostles continually call Christians to preserve the unity of the faith (Ephesians 4:3–5). This is why Catholics remain Catholic. Not because Catholics are better than anyone else. Not because every Catholic lives a holy life. But because we believe Jesus meant what He said, established what He established, and entrusted His Church with faithfully preserving His Gospel until the end of the age. To follow Jesus is not only to admire His teachings. It is to receive everything He gave us: His Church, His Sacraments, His priesthood, His Eucharist, and the apostolic faith handed down through every generation. The question is not simply, “Do I love Jesus?” The deeper question is, “Am I willing to accept everything Jesus established, even when it challenges my own traditions or preferences?” May the Holy Spirit lead every Christian into the fullness of Christ’s truth, deepen our love for His Church, and unite us in the faith He entrusted to the Apostles. Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and make us one, just as You prayed that we may all be one. Amen. 🙏

Luke 1:48: “All generations will call me blessed.” Except some protestants (not all)💧

The problem isn’t Catholics elevating, adoring, and loving Mary more than we elevate, adore, and love Christ.. The Eucharist makes this impossible. The problem is Catholics elevating, adoring, and loving Mary more than you elevate, adore, and love Christ. #CatholicX

Protestants have faith in Jesus Christ, but they don't believe Him when He says baptism saves. Protestants follow Christ's commandments, but they don't agree with Him when He said, "He who endures to the end shall be saved." Protestants strongly believe in Jesus Christ, but when He said, "This is my body, this is my blood. Do this in memory of me," they say He didn't really mean it. Protestants believe that faith alone will take them to heaven, but when Jesus says, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you," they refuse to take Him at His word.

Erry. Dang. Time.

“….clearly…” 😅

This priest explains when freemasonry began and no! It is did not begin I'm 1717. You'd be shocked😨.

If it weren't for religious hospitals, secular hospitals likely would not exist. All early hospitals were religiously motivated, & secular hospitals stripped that off (rather than their false narrative that we added this on to their idea).

Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, breathe the Holy Spirit onto the apostles, and say “forgive and retain sins” JUST so they could teach to others: “Go pray privately and figure it out yourself.”

Through Trinitarian baptism (Catholic baptism) people are made into Christians. Jesus Christ made just one Church for them — the only true Christian Church — which is the Catholic Church. Some Christians refuse to enter in, leaving them exposed to the errors of this world. Many of them make their own organizations and communities, calling them “churches,” but they are not the Church that Christ made, and so they cannot offer the same protection.👇🏻

Dear Cardinal McElroy, Greetings in Christ. We read in Redemptionis Sacramentum, “In distributing Holy Communion it is to be remembered that ‘sacred ministers may not deny the sacraments to those who seek them at appropriate times, are properly disposed and are not prohibited by law from receiving them.’ Hence any baptized Catholic who is not prohibited by law must be admitted to Holy Communion. Therefore, it is not licit to deny Holy Communion to any of Christ’s faithful solely on the grounds, for example, that the person wishes to receive the Eucharist kneeling or standing.” (RS, no. 91). In the Roman Rite, the Church continues to teach that the norm for the reception of Holy Communion is on the tongue (GIRM 160; RS 92). The Latin Church also preserves its longstanding tradition that it is not licit to refuse Holy Communion to those who wish to receive kneeling (RS 91). The inclusion of altar rails will help us accompany those who wish to receive in this more reverent and traditional fashion. It will also help to ensure a continuous flow, since multiple people can kneel at the same time; thus, there is no issue of halting the Communion line. Furthermore, since the Church permits Holy Communion standing and in the hand (IDM; GIRM 160), those who wish to do so still can. I think an important pastoral note to bear in mind is the following: Is it truly at the service of the People of God to deprive them of altar rails, which helps facilitate the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue and the chosen devotion of kneeling? While keeping in mind that the liturgy ought to be respectful in terms of timeliness, I also fear that concern for time can steal away from the most important time we ought to be generous with; the time we give to God. We devote time to so many things. Can we not devote a little more time to the most important moment of our day: Holy Communion? In terms of pastoral care for the elderly and the infirm, altar rails will actually help ensure that those behind the communicant do not trip, because communicants will be situated at the altar rail. Furthermore, we should consider that for decades and even centuries the Church distributed Holy Communion to those for whom walking was difficult. It was not an issue then, and it does not have to be now, because the presence of altar rails helps address concerns about someone tripping the person behind the communicant. Another important question to ask is this: Is it equally reverent to stand before Almighty God for the reception of Holy Communion, or to kneel? If Jesus stood visibly before you, would your first reaction be to fall to your knees or to remain standing? I think of the woman who fell at Jesus’ feet and washed them with her tears and dried them with her hair (Lk 7:36–50). The Pharisee looked down upon her, but Jesus praised her love. This is another important point regarding those who might claim that people who kneel are making a “show” or drawing attention away from Jesus. Again, Jesus praised the woman because of how much she went out of her way to show love, but He rebuked the Pharisee for treating the Divine Guest so casually and for his lack of hospitality (Lk 7:44–47). When I see people kneel for Holy Communion and receive on the tongue, I am edified by their example. It inspires me to climb the heights of holiness, while also rebuking me for my own lack of reverence at times. This witness of reverent reception of Holy Communion should be praised and promoted, not shunned or canceled. To be a welcoming Church we must also welcome those who wish to live out our Sacred Traction, otherwise we cause marginalization and exclusion. This is my humble opinion, based on the Church’s teaching for centuries regarding reception of Holy Communion on the tongue as a more excellent, theologically appropriate, and reverent manner of receiving Our Lord (STh III, q. 82, a. 13; RS 92). Let the people show reverence to God!

May we be one nation under God

The Irony is hard to miss 🤔 Protestants attempt to use the Bible to attack the Catholic Church… Yet they have no chain of custody to it, the chain of custody is Catholic 💧

It’s almost like the Left is completely blind to second and third order effects…
