the Catholic Church is the only Christian denomination that simultaneously believes marriage is a holy Sacrament instituted by Christ Himself and that perpetual virginity conduces toward a higher state of perfection for those who called to it

one of the most beautiful things about the Incarnation is that Christ does not possess a human personhood (or hypostasis), but is a Divine personhood united with a divine and human *nature*. because of this, His humanity is not severed from other members of the species and His very Body and Blood can be partaken of without itself being in any way diminished or divided

prediction: debates over predestination and the efficacy of grace will not be resolved until the last judgment
until then, I think the best treatment on this subject is found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0931888662/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7YZEW1Z1P0S2WBDM5ZX2

pope francis > pastor steven anderson
lol at all the people seething about this
pick any of Pope Francisโ homilies at random and set them against any Independent Fundamental Baptist low iq vulgarian preacher
Francis will usually be giving some pretty decent pastoral lessons about how to cultivate a holy interior life and avoid the snares of the Devil
IFB preachers will just be giving a low quality edgy entertainment talk show from the pulpit

examination of conscience for mortal and venial sins.pdf
550.5 KB
Since a lot of people ask me about moral theology questions I thought itโd be a good idea to share this examination of conscience which does an excellent job distinguishing between mortal sins and venial sins
Obviously you should be referring to your confessor first and foremost, but itโs always helpful to have an objective examination of conscience. I hope this is helpful!

admitting the possibility of aborted babies being extra-sacramentally cleansed of original sin by God does nothing to take away from the tragedy of abortion
God loves them so much that depriving them of the opportunity for greater degrees of glory in heaven through an earthly sojourn of growing in sanctity is enough of a tragedy

outdated Aristotelian biology aside, St Thomas would have supported the criminalization of abortion even before โanimationโ https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1521514612864307201?s=21&t=_15hkQuH1JZWCcddulqxTA

Robert Grosseteste, following Dionysius, deduces a fundamental law concerning the nature of divinely instituted hierarchy and itโs pretty insightful:
โWhatever is done hierarchically and in salvific mystery is done in order to recall a lower creature to God by the mediation of a higher agent, who neither:
-usurps powers which his place does not accord him
-neglects to do what is required of him
-hands on what is above the otherโs capacity to receive
-refuses what befits the lower creatureโs receptivityโ
according to Grosseteste, this law has universal applicability across celestial, ecclesiastical, and human hierarchies

Pray for the Holy Father! Iโm by no means alone in suspecting we could have a new conclave within a year or two, so while youโre praying for the Holy Fatherโs health, make sure to also pray that God will restore new life in the Church. The world needs it now more than ever, and very soon all eyes will be turning to Rome

VATICANโPope Francis has said in interviews, now, that he can no longer walk. The pope was clearly in pain during Holy Week, last month, but demonstrably worse yesterday at the Wednesday audience. Ref: @EWTNVatican
