Because it's in the Federalist Papers, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution makes it our sense of justice. And that's how we run things, according to our sense of justice. That's why the Supreme Court has the absolute power of judicial review, and why the jury has the absolute power of...

Christ is the one mediator. Christ has a priesthood, after the order of Melchizedek, just like the Scripture says. So your confessor is in persona Christi. You're not dealing with that man when you're celebrating the sacraments, you're dealing directly with Christ, after the order of...

You only believe in one person. That's modalism.

Awesome. Gotta bone to pick with you: Those are Catholics (and @chrysostom 's still here). "Saved by works crowd"? Tu quoque. We're talking about the same thing. We have an obligation to avoid grave sins. But we do both agree, $$ Ac 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus...

You're apparently unaware that the JW translation puts, "This MEANS My body" into the Lord's mouth. That's what I was alluding to. JWs think He actually said that, because the JW translators lied and told them He did. He actually said, "This IS My body," not, "This MEANS My body." Supra.

The hearts of men must also be desperately retarded if you have to tell them constantly that if you don't have kids, you won't have grandkids either.

A glimmer, a touch, a crumb, a dash, a pinch, a mustard seed, is all one needs: $$ Lu 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

The word is used to mean all kinds of things, up to and including the United States Constitution, which is according to Hamilton in the Federalist papers, basically just the uniquely American interpretation of a more general form of the word, which is usually classically defined by contrast...

Seems like the question is whether or not any mirrors are involved or not. Even if you made like a gigantic pentagram or something, where light was able to travel some distance (miles or something) through coordinated mirrors, and the light after going through the system of mirrors, is going...

Not so. Way too many DON'T GET IT, no "seem" about it. Today's Gospel reading: who goes away justified? The one who said, "Have mercy on me, A SINNER." You have to REPENT. You have to HUMBLE YOURSELF, otherwise, there's no doubt about it, you do NOT get it.

I know. Some things go without saying.

I see just now that there's a column on NYT-dot-com by David French (who I'm unfamiliar with) called "How Women Destroyed the West"—does anybody have access to that? what's it about? does it impugn feminism? (I mean it's the New York Times so I wouldn't think so, but still.)

“ You're either growing, or you're dying—there ain't no third direction. ” You guys tried to kill us. We're well below replacement birthrate, which means this isn't just one woman here and there, kicking the can down the road, or even outright sterilizing themselves entirely. This is a WHOLE...

Interesting position. That's all Catholic, Clete. All Catholics believe everything you wrote here.

If you want to make Abraham into the moral equivalent of a Herculean demigod, then yeah, I definitely feel you. I don't agree, but I do get it.

Step 1 of like a thousand.

He hates flesh. It doesn't matter if you're a believer or not. That's what I said.

One of the greatest joys of Catholicism is the Mass obligation. I know that sounds funny. How could a duty imposed on you, ever be a joy? It's because when you satisfy the obligation, you are in the Real Presence of Jesus. From the time when the Eucharist is confected through the presider's...

It is, but she is in Heaven. Consider a scenario. You go to church with a quiet older lady who's friendly and waves to you, and you greet her, and sometimes you ask her to pray for this or that in your life. Time passes and then she passes away. You go to her funeral and in the many...
