if God did not love you, you wouldn’t exist. simple as.

I may be trying out some live content so stay tuned for that

God’s act of elevating even one beatified soul beyond the limitations of its nature to partake of His inner Triune Life is infinitely more wondrous than His creation of the whole Cosmos out of nothing

Because of the Incarnation, Christianity is the only religion which insists that the more intimate one’s union with God is, the more authentically expressed one’s distinct identity becomes

“we don’t support drinking the blood of babies we just support tearing them limb from limb with tongs and air suctioning their brains out”

the baptism of a single infant is an infinitely greater display of power than the combined might of all the angels in heaven

The Supreme Court and Presidency should be male-only imo

id rather someone believe in magic crystals or sentient rocks than deny the immaterial altogether

atheists are at the very rock bottom of intellectual respectability

Haydock, commenting on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, points out that the donkey and the colt the Apostles were instructed to bring to Jesus represent the Jews and Gentiles, respectively

The colt, not having been ridden on before, represents the Gentiles, who have yet to receive the Divine Revelation entrusted to the Jews

The fact that the Apostles are the ones instructed to retrieve both the donkey and colt for Christ to sit on signifies the dominion the Church is to have over Jews and Gentiles alike, all under the yoke of Christ

to conceive of a limit precisely as limit is necessarily to transcend that limit, at least in potency

this phenomenon should not be possible under eliminative materialism, as this regress can only terminate in the Infinite

i knew skojec was unintelligent but I didn’t realize he was at the “genuinely mind blown by young Sheldon” level

If you live in such a way that manifests a state of being out of communion with God, then so long as you persist in that state unrepentantly, you will abide in that state on the other side of eternity too, but without the fleeting pleasures of this tangible world

someone like skojec has absolutely zero excuse for not understanding this

when we commit a mortal sin, the will has union with evil in a manner somewhat analogous to conjugal intimacy (as St Thomas says, the intellect/will in some way *becomes* or has union with the object known/willed)

this is ultimately why mortal sin is so incompatible with living in the state of God’s grace, a state that is itself analogous to nuptial union with the Divine Himself

according to Saint John Chrysostom the blood and water flowing from the side of Christ together signify His Bride, that is, His very Mystical Body that is the Church, taken from His sacred side just as Eve was taken from the side of Adam while he was sleeping in Paradise
