I'm sorry, this seems cavalier as far as I'm concerned.

President Trump was also right to attempt to acquire Greenland for another reason. You can't tell by looking on a map, but on a globe it is clear that Greenland is far closer to Moscow than any current American territories.

For 1500 years all Christians worshiped God with the assistance of men holding the office of bishop (cf. 1 Timothy 3:1). In the New Testament Titus and Timothy were examples of men who held this office. Even after the Schism of 1054, both the western and eastern Church continued to cultivate...

But you didn't address my point. The Apostles established the institution of Church pastors, known as bishops, elders, overseers. This office (cf. 1 Timothy 3:1) has never ceased to exist, even through all the tumult the Church experienced, at e.g. Nicaea, in e.g. AD 1054, or e.g. the...

If you 'pause' an everlasting video, it ceases to be an everlasting video. Or more accurately it never was one.

Sherman, I'm relentlessly accused of being a pagan on TOL. Is not idolatry immoral behavior? I'm not going to press it, but is there a way to protect me from this constant false charge against me? I'm not an idolater.

But I hope that it's clear, and if it's not I remedy that now, that only the priests need concern themselves with doing any of the rituals that I've described. You don't, as a non-priest (Noncatholic), have to feel any sort of obligation to do what the rest of us are doing, we not only...

Remember when he tried to 'buy' Greenland? The man simply took what all the scientists were telling him, and then hedged his bets, it's as if he thinks, 'You know what real estate that is currently not valuable, will become valuable if climate change /global warming is real? Greenland.' It...

Don't forget that we venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary as the saint above all other saints, even over the apostles and the prophets. They are all second in line to a woman. To Our Lady.

From our Catechism: So much simple. And guaranteed to be Apostolic. Which is the same authority that we appeal to when we study the scriptures. It was Apostolic authority---really Christ's own authority that He gave to them---that either wrote (i.e. Pauline epistles, 1&2 Peter, Matthew...

I answered the fellow @Bradley D 's question. You disagree with my answer. We'll let him sort it out.

It's the best we can do. Elect a president you think will hire judges who share our judicial theory. And then pray that current judges retire so he can fill seats. President Trump did a remarkable job on that mark.

Yet he talks about sacrificing, which is, what priests do.

That's exactly the kind of problem the courts would need to solve, by asking, what right or rights are involved here? The courts are where we sift the facts from the fiction. Don't buy it when they talk about 'science' in these terms. Science is what's political. The courts are legitimately...

I can't see videos on TOL, but here's what happened to this Calvinist when he became consistent in his Calvinism: He became Catholic.

What a mess! Sad.

Nope. The word 'everlasting' doesn't allow for any kind of 'pausing', that is why it's syntactically false to suggest that anything 'everlasting' would ever be 'put on hold'. It's either possible to put something 'on hold' or it isn't, and if it is, then it cannot be 'everlasting'. True...

By basing their rulings on the right judicial or legal theory. Namely, a rights-based theory.

Hypothetically, if you were to come to Mass, here is what you will see and an explanation. First of all remember that Catholics are all priests, and we are coming to Mass to celebrate our liturgy together. Liturgy is work; priestly work, and while we are all priests equally (Galations 3:28)...

A very weighty judicial theory you have there.
