Re: A possible contradiction - goodness of creation
The supernatural destiny of human beings is not part of human nature. It's a gratuitous gift. If we grant the premise (which I think is correct) that the soul is naturally immortal, still God did not have to admit the deceased to Heaven. He could have granted them a simple earthly paradise, or some...

Re: Reasons for not chosing the Orthodox Church?
They don't have a Peter.
Sure, there's an Antiochian Orthodox Church, which is Peter's old see - but there's no Orthodox Church of Rome.
They have patriarchs for all the other apostles, but no Peter.

A possible contradiction - goodness of creation
Premise: Evil is a privation of good. Premise: Any reduction in good, is evil. Premise: God created all things good. Premise: Humans are created in the Image and Likeness of God. That is good. Premise: Human beings cannot get into heaven in their current state. They need a Savior, who is Christ. Pre...

Re: What if the Catholic Church were a sham?
The Catholic Church would only be false IF and ONLY IF Christ were false. The Catholic Church is the Bride of Christ. Christ is not a single guy. He is the Bridegroom, the Catholic Church is the Bride. One Bridegroom, One Bride. Christ is not divorced. He didn't divorce the Catholic Church and marry...

Re: Trump and Canada
I don't think Trump is serious about getting Canada in as new states. Most of Canada are left wing dominated provinces (this is why the Liberal party is ruling the roost there) If Canada became part of the United States, we would never see another Republican president or Republican majority in House...

Re: A Major Realignment?
When I voted for the first time, I voted republican. This was after Reagan's two terms ended. I remember growing up in poverty thanks to Jimmy Carter's messes. My mom was out of work a lot, due to working only temp jobs, and we were forced to rent out all the rooms in her house to make ends meet. We...

I'm glad Trump won. As soon as PA was called, that was it, game over for Kamala.

Re: The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection
This would be an interesting movie to see. Mel Gibson knocked it out of the park with the original. Can he do it again?

Re: Speaking of trailers: Bonhoeffer
Watched the movie. Pretty good except for the ridiculous "Christianity is not a religion" nonsense he spouted. I didn't think that ridiculous falsehood was around in the 1940s.

Re: Was he talking about women's ordination?
In the homily at Mass today we were told "The Church still doesn't acknowledge the value of women, there are still many things they are not allowed to do" Yeah, the Church really doesn't acknowledge the value of women, with Mary being the Queen of heaven, having 7 WOMEN Doctors of the Chu...

Double standard = corruption.

Re: Feedback Requested re: Peculiar interaction (probably not demonic?)
" I started to pray Hail Mary in my head (again, silently, without my rosary out), she started saying "Bloody Mary" a few times" That is weird. Demons cannot read your mind but they can see if you're trying to pray and will seek to interrupt you. I suspect that this woman was und...
