Jesus Christ is God made Man, but perhaps even more fundamentally, in His hypostatic union of Divinity and humanity He is the most complete and definitive outpouring of Godโs Divine Life into the entire Created order as summed up in a human nature, which in its spiritual and corporeal composition is itself a microcosm of the Cosmos

one reason why I firmly believe this nick/ye alliance is providential is because if successful itโs the only movement that will allow us to transcend this secular, liberal, end-of-history zeitgeist and framing of reality that has paralyzed human discourse for the last century
only when this is accomplished will there be a pathway to a fully sincere, unapologetic, and pure revival of the social Kingship of Christ

โLet your door stand open to receive God,
unlock your soul to God,
offer Him a welcome in your mind,
and then you will see
the riches of simplicity,
the treasures of peace,
the joy of grace.
Throw wide the gate of your heart,
stand before the Sun of the everlasting Light.โ
- St. Ambrose of Milan

if you cannot meaningfully distinguish the veneration we give to Mary and the Saints from the worship due to God alone, that says more about how much you put into the worship of God than how much we put into the veneration of Saints

a Jesus Who identifies Himself with His saints (Acts 9:4) is not a Jesus Who would want us to worship Him without their company

broadly speaking, thereโs a profoundly significant aesthetic difference between Protestant and Catholic depictions of Jesus and itโs honestly self-evident which ones come from a richer and more intense spirituality

Catholicism is the only Christian denomination which takes the nuptial analogy of Christ and the Church found in Ephesians 5 seriously by actually recognizing that the Church Herself is imbued with unique and clearly articulated bridal and maternal duties that can be distinguished from the role of Her Divine Bridegroom
Itโs the *Church* which gives birth to the spiritual Life of Her members and continuously nurtures it by the power of Her sacraments
Itโs obviously Christโs grace alone to give by the sole virtue of His redemptive merits, but it comes to us through the maternal presence of His Bride, our mystical Mother, the Church, which, as St. Paul says, is the โfullness of Christ, Who fills all in allโ (Eph 1:23)

most of the strongest Scriptural supports for Catholic theology come directly from the mouth of Christ
examples:
-apostolic succession [Matt 28:19-20]
-ecclesiastical authority [Lk 10:16; John 20:21; Matt 28:18-20; Matt 18:18]
-papal primacy [Matt 16:18-20; Lk 22:32; John 21:15]
-baptism [John 3:5; Matt 28:19]
-the real presence [John 6; Luke 22.19]
-confession [John 20:23]
-Maryโs spiritual motherhood [John 19:27-28]
-against โFaith aloneโ [John 15:14]
Etc
