Happy July. Start it off right by listening to the Creed, canons and synodal letter of the First Council of Nicea. Presented for the first time in an audio podcast.

Atheist: “Christianity is a myth invented to control society through religion.” Early Christians being torn apart by wild animals and burned alive: “Yes. It is all coming together now.”

We mocked my grandmother’s piety, thought her superstitious, poked fun at her prolife bumper stickers and outspokenness. She refused to attend my wedding. She was unworldly, austere, often disliked. I understand now. I regret we only scratched the surface when she was called home

What? That guy in 100AD who personally knew the Apostles said what about Apostolic tradition? Nah, he didn’t know what he was talking about. Now this guy in 1517AD knew what the Apostles had to say.

Christians actually believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary for over 1800 years. Then one day, Steve opened his KJV-Authorized Edition to Matthew 1:25 and found the word “until”. Turns out every other person who ever read the Bible missed this critical detail. Thanks Steve.

Jesus: “This is my body.”
Jews: “Wait, what?”
Jesus: “My flesh is food, indeed…”
Jews: “Come again?”
Jesus: “He who eats me will live…”

Jews: *backing away*
Jesus: “I am the door.”
Catholic: “He’s not really a door.”

America is a hotbed for Protestantism because it was founded on rebellion. The mantra of America’s soul is “stop telling me what to do”. Even reading this some will get excited and say “Yes! That’s us.”, but pride didn’t work out for the fallen angels and it won’t for us either.

Why Luther would choose to create his canon based on the authority of Jewish Rabbis who did not even affirm the central tenet of his faith, i.e. Jesus as Messiah, is perhaps the hardest question Lutherans, and by extension all Protestants, will ever have to answer.

I’ve never had a Protestant adequately answer why the Bread of Life Sermon in John Chapter 6 is a “hard saying” which causes many of Christ’s followers to abandon Him. They were offended at Him being figurative? What is hard about a metaphor?

The disbelief in the Perpetual Virginity of the BVM is perhaps more baffling to me than any other heresy. To a man, every Church father and every Reformer believed this. It’s only now that someone has the insane arrogance to believe they have finally cracked the code in 2022.

Catholic theology is kind of terrifying in a lot of ways. For the greatest of sinners, one final act of repentance can secure your salvation for eternity. And for the holiest of men, one poorly timed mistake can be your eternal downfall. Always be on guard.

The denial of the perpetual virginity of Mary is a whole separate branch of uncharted Protestantism. How somebody could confess to be a Christian yet deny what every single other Christian has affirmed from the ancient church to the Reformation and beyond is baffling.

“You’re misunderstanding the Protestant position.” - I know. Because there isn’t one to understand. It’s just a mess of men’s theories that desperately seeks to differentiate itself from Catholicism.

To declare you are personally saved is to pass your own final Judgment, which is not your job. We have hope and faith of salvation. But we are not to presume it. We are to run the race.

Wife pulled out a board game last night. Looked weird, occultish weird. Called Illimat. Remembering it was given to us at Christmas by my satanist brother and his wiccan girlfriend/wife(?), I declined to play it. Made her mad. Am I being superstitious or should I destroy it?

Wow. I just got some awesome news. Apparently one of my long time anti Catholic opponents has converted to Catholicism. I won’t say who for privacy. He’s taking a lot of flak for it I bet. Just wow. Talk about being the ones you least expect. Praying for you, man. Glory to God.

I agree with Protestants that Scripture contains all that is necessary for Salvation. It tells you the Church is the pillar of truth (1 Tim 3:15), not to hear different gospels (Gal 1:8-9) and to adhere to the tradition taught by the Apostles by word or by letter (2 Thess 2:15).

Jesus doesn’t teach an economic system. He taught personal charity. “Mandatory charity” is an oxymoron.
Jesus’ teachings are far closer to socialism than capitalism.

Do you know why every Christian believes the Trinity? It isn’t because the Bible plainly lays it out. The Church discerned it, guided by God, following tradition of the Apostles. Mary also remained a perpetual virgin. Your weekly Bible study hasn’t discovered anything new.

The Orthodox rationalizations for the Fatima Miracle seem absurd bordering on gravely blasphemous. They rarely deny its authenticity but instead ascribe to it the demonic. A devil would have you pray against devils? Were you not told a house divided against itself cannot stand?

I did go to a Divine Liturgy today. Fascinating, beautiful, and much incense. I talked to a Melkite for a while about the theology. They do not use the Filioque, only acknowledge 7 binding Councils, and are greatly averse to Thomism but are in communion with Rome. How is this?

I can’t stand the “Catholics use repetitive prayers so it is empty and mechanical” argument. What do you think the Lord’s Prayer is? If your prayers are empty and mechanical, that isn’t the prayer’s fault.

Does the Church just not do excommunication anymore? When was the last one? I’ve read Honorius I was anathematized for affirming a concept I barely even understand, and we can’t do anything about this?

Something is definitely amiss when the Gospel of the Church that has been around since 33AD is called a “false gospel” but the philosophies presented only after 1517AD are called the truth.

Mary as the Mother of God is less a statement about Mary and moreso one about Jesus. To deny it is to necessarily deny Christ’s divinity because the only way it wouldn’t be true is if you said Mary was only the mother of a human.

Matthew is focused on the fulfillment of Isaiah 7’s prophecy. He is pointing out that Mary was a virgin from the time she conceived all the way up to or “until” Jesus’ birth. He is not concerned with anything after that.

The Fr Pavone issue seems more nuanced than either side makes it out to be. But if you are celebrating that he was laicized, that tells me everything I need to know about you. And it is obvious who is protected from discipline and who is not.
