Peter was in Scripture. He held the office. The office is the keys to the kingdom and the power to bind and loose. Fortunately the whole Church is for everybody.

I think there is an ontological real distinction between our body /flesh and the rest of us, whatever we want to call it, I call it the soul. Like you say, our body limits our soul, if anything. Although our body only does what our soul authorizes it to do. Don't approve of anything you don't...

Jesus put it like this: Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you...

Hold on. So because there's a bad pope, therefore the office of pope is outside of Scripture? How does that work? And I suppose if there's a bad bishop, therefore the office of a bishop 1st Timothy 3:1 doesn't exist either? This is undermining the ministerial hierarchy that Christ and His...

Why would the church in Corinth celebrate the Passover? They partook of the Lord's table: Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which...

That's what I've been saying.

Even bad popes don't nullify the Chair of Peter, the throne of David. And bishops have the power to depose a bad pope as well, and they have. The office remains forever.

I see none of that: When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3 And being brought on their way by the church...

For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

I want you to experience the fullness of our faith.

"This is My body," and then the Church consumes His body, that is how we are His body.

That's what I said. That's why it's interesting when people try to prove from the Bible that the Real Presence is wrong or false or fake or phony or fabricated or fictional. The preponderance of all concerning verses prima facie plainly means the Real Presence is true. Quick check on Church...

How are Gentiles "heirs" according to the promise made to Abraham? That promise was for Israel. That's a MYSTERY.¹ Paul explains: Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness...

It doesn't have to make sense to you. That's not part of the Christian life, to only do what makes sense to you, you have to submit to the authorities put over you, they are literally overseers of the Church. They are bishops. And what they say is to believe the Bible, and the Apostles. And the...

You're personally starved for sacrament; the literal meeting between the spiritual, physical, eternal and temporal; right before your eyes. (Almost as if God knows what you know, about the impossibility of reconciling physics and heaven, with the human heart, soul, mind and strength. So He...

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." If the heaven means something other than the night sky and outer space, it means whatever the spiritual realm is. He created the angels first.

It's true I am very boring and dull.

Vincent of Lerins said that heretics always come up with some novel doctrine which they prove with Scriptural proof-texts. Interesting thing about denying the Real Presence, is not that it is novel, but that there are no proof-texts for it, in fact, all the concerning texts instead plainly...

Incredibly important to note that after a seven day fast you'll lose a lot of weight on the bathroom scale. Here's why. Roughly one third of it is fat, hooray. Roughly one third of it is glycogen, which depleted from your muscles and liver, and the water associated with that glycogen. This...
