I monitor transmillennial patterns of apostasy. Beware the migration of the epiclesis.

@CrushnSerpents has accused me of lying in my opening statement during my debate with @ArchangeloRom yesterday. The public accusation provides an opportunity as entertaining as it is instructional. No, I did not lie, and he has yet to identify "the lie" of which I am accused. And.

I have often insisted that "hyperdulia" vs. "latria" is a distinction without a difference. They both look the same. So I have to give credit to a Catholic priest who just says out loud what he knows we're all thinking: "We common Catholics can't tell the difference between

Meanwhile, back in reality, “Saint” Maximilian Kolbe says Mary is “Quasi-part of the Trinity,” complete with this helpful diagram showing how she fits into the Trinity. No worries, I’m sure, there’s always room for one more. Just your basic Roman Catholic hyperlatria of Mary.
She is 100% incapable of producing a single Catholic Church document saying that Mary is a “goddess” or that Mary holds the “same position” as God. But Catholics can produce many documents confirming the Bible says bearing false witness is a sin.

"Saint" Maximilian Kolbe called Mary "the 'Quasi-Incarnation' of the Holy Spirit." . Alphonsus Liguori writes, "St. Bonaventure… says, addressing her, 'The world which thou with God didst form from the beginning continues to exist at thy will, O most holy virgin;' the saint.

Check the wayback machine for "to pastors and faithful there is nothing more sweet, nothing dearer than to WORSHIP, venerate, invoke and praise with ardent affection the Mother of God conceived without stain of original sin." (Pius XII, Fulgens Corona,.

If Mary worship is “embedded in Catholic theology”, then he should have no problem quoting a Papal document, a Church Council, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or some other official Vatican source proving that “every Roman Catholic worships Mary”. We’ll wait.

The “venerable” Ann Catherine received this “information” from an apparition of Mary. Roman Catholicism is not the religion of Christ. It is the religion of demonic apparitions of Mary.
@MrCasey62 The 12 Apostles knew that Mary was assumed into Heaven. They assembled for her funeral, but her body was gone. That vision and discussion is relayed in the visions of Venerable Ann Catherine Emmerich. Her books were used, by Mel Gibson, to produce the famous movie, "The.

This is a great illustration of how @grok (or any apologist) can stumble into presumption when attempting to reconstruct the ancient liturgy. Grok cites Ignatius’ letter to the Smrynæans as proof that Ignatius called the Eucharist “the flesh of Christ AFTER consecration.” But.
@heatheraaj78 @DaveAdrift @Humbum337 @Catholic_bro Yes, in early writings like Ignatius of Antioch's Letter to the Smyrnaeans (c. 110 AD), the Eucharist is described as the flesh of Christ after consecration. Justin Martyr's First Apology (c. 150 AD) notes that after prayers by the president, bread and wine become the flesh and.

In the early paragraphs of On the Development of Christian Doctrine, "Saint" John Henry Cardinal Newman inserts a bald fallacy upon which the rest of his argument rests. He posits that if we are unable to adapt our perception of reality to the Scriptures, then God must have.

Roman Catholics object strenuously when I say there are one billion denominations of Roman Catholicism. "No," they claim, "we are all united under the Pope!". But two recent videos by two staunch Roman Catholic apologists make exactly my point for me. Each Roman Catholic arrives

Leading up to the proclamation of the dogma of the assumption on Nov 1, 1950, “having arrived to the statue of Our Lady of [the apparition of] Lourdes” in the Vatican Gardens, Pope Pius XII was treated to a personal display of the “Miracle of the Sun” similar to what was seen in.
Pope Pius XII infallibly proclaims ex-cathedra the Dogma of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, in St. Peter's Basilica on November 1, 1950

Cameron is wrong on all three counts. 1) On his first point, the central focus of Roman Catholicism's liturgy is to attempt to imitate what Christ did on the night before He died. It's the "source and summit" of his faith. And yet even his own pope could not figure out what that
3 Reasons Catholicism is the best form of Christianity. 1) Clarity. I don’t have to guess about what the Bible means. The Church tells me. 2) Universality. I can go to mass anywhere in the world and find people with the same faith as me. 3) The Name Catholic. From the time of.

Of all the arguments for Peter being the Rock, the "Closest Noun Rule" is surely the weakest. @MrCasey62 argues, "(looking at the grammar) with 'You are Kepha, AND upon this kepha', 'THIS kepha' must refer back to the closest noun.". Try the "Closest Noun Rule" on John 6:48-50,
Who tricked Protestants into ignoring EVERY PIECE of evidence that proves Peter IS the Rock?. FIFTEEN reasons why we know he is:🧵. • Jesus & the Apostles spoke Aramaic to each other, not Greek. • The Aramaic word for “rock” is “kepha”. • So Jesus actually said, “You are

🚨 Breaking News 🚨: Protestant on X has a different opinion on the early church fathers than a Catholic on X does.🤣. What is particularly ironic here is that I merely suggested, based on the Greek, that Irenæus Against Heresies 4.18.5 is better translated “when the earthly
@whpub @Trentofthenorth Ladies and gentleman, I now present to you, the bible and theology according to Tim Kaufman. So the Eucharist is in fact a metaphor?? Wow and to think we got it wrong for 2000 years! Thank you so much for showing us this. So many Catholics will revert back to Protestantism and.

This is a very good question from @johnnyLib_Dem about the "real presence" in the Eucharist: "If the Eucharist was just a tithe offering as you say, why were non believers excluded from the liturgy of the Eucharist from the earliest times?". First, it is not correct to say "the.
@whpub @Trentofthenorth A tithe offering as you say why were non believers excluded from the liturgy of the Eucharist from the earliest times? It was clearly a sacred mystery.

Thanks @Trentofthenorth for forwarding. I don't know if that's the real Scott Hahn, but. In Newmanesque fashion, whichever Scott Hahn this is grossly misrepresents the ancient church, attempting to load early statements with later developments. A response to each of Scott's

How some members of what had been a humble subapostolic church eventually yielded to a thirst for civil power and become the next global empire after Rome is quite a marvel to behold. It revolves around the role of the bishop as the administrator of the church's organic.
