The Catholic Church existed BEFORE the Bible was finished being written. The Church put the Bible together; therefore, ORAL tradition is older than the written tradition.
This is okay, I guess, and I am sure not going to argue for Yet Another "Christian" Church Made Up by Americans. but the Church does not recognize the Bible as the final authority alone as she predates its assembly.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, President Donald Trump has launched the “America Prays” initiative, calling the nation to recognize its dependence on God and return to its spiritual foundations. “When faith gets weaker, our country seems to get weaker. When faith gets stronger, our country gets stronger,” Trump said, emphasizing that America’s strength is inseparable from faith. The initiative encourages Americans to form prayer groups, pray daily for specific national issues, and unite across denominations and faith communities. It builds on Trump’s broader faith-focused agenda during his second term, including the establishment of the White House Faith Office, the Task Force on Anti-Christian Bias, and the Religious Liberty Commission. Cabinet meetings now begin with prayer, and the administration is urging citizens to extend that practice nationwide. Supporters such as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Dr. Ben Carson describe the moment as “a time …More
Redpill Drifter @RedpillDrifter So much more going on behind the scenes people dont realize. Just to point out... KING FREDERICK X IS BLACK NOBILITY BLOODLINE Greenland is within the monarchy of the Kingdom of Denmark, in which King Frederick X is the head of state. King Frederik X is part of the Danish royal family, which belongs to the House of Glücksburg a branch connected to the wider Oldenburg dynasty, one of Europe’s most intertwined royal bloodlines. He attends WEF and Davos gatherings He’s connected to EU/NATO/global governance networks He supports climate policies, global warming, etc which are merely depopulation agendas. Taking Greenland is a massive move against the Royal Bloodlines. Of course this isn't the only reason but in my humble opinion, it is a KEY reason. Ye shall know them by their fruits
Not only CAN you - You SHOULD. Here’s why. Yesterday, I participated in a focus group as part of a research study for a friend’s Masters Research. The Topic was DIGITAL DETOX. While digital usage varied greatly, the feeling was unanimous: The less digital, the better. Moreover, there were a handful of themes that continually resurfaced in the conversation. Things like: The importance of silence The need for relief The continuous stream of information Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) The fact of the matter is clear. Our brains are NOT designed to deal with the amount and speed of information that they are presently encountering. Trying to get “caught up” (another recurring theme) is thereforea losing strategy. So what to do? Slow down. Retreat is not surrender. In a sample of 8 people, I believe all, except one, said they were less stressed during digital detox than outside of it. Your time is your most valuable asset. I’ve been saying for years now that the ability to simply FOCUS is quickly …More
The Army, "Chinese brains" and Russian "Murmansk BN": Iran has neutralized Starlink and is on its way to suppressing the wave of unrest. ----- Tehran has found an answer to the instigators of unrest. The Iranian army has announced that it is ready to participate in suppressing the unrest and has declared that it intends to "resolutely defend national interests, strategic infrastructure, and state property." The army blamed Israel and "terrorist groups" for the escalation, according to the Wall Street Journal. Until now, street rioters have been dispersed by the police and militarized formations, primarily structures associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The "Israeli footprint" in the events in Iran is becoming increasingly apparent. Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi said Tehran has evidence of Washington and Tel Aviv's involvement in the unrest. Arakchi also accused the US and Israel of "terrorist acts." In response, Israel publicly expressed its support for the protesters …More
The devoted mother always seeks the one thing that matters- that is *LOVE of GOD* as is *GOD'S Will* in a thousand details of taking care of her Husband and children and loving her Family. Holiness and Heaven conclude her earthly life as she has endeavored to facilitate her Family to follow the narrow path which leads to heaven.
@In Principio Your constant Catholic posts up here remind me of the days when this site 1st came to be. They had a tag line "The More Catholic The Better" You sir are definitely supplying Catholic material up here! Thank you.
Peter Srsich was 19 when he traveled to the Vatican in May 2012 through the Make-A-Wish Foundation while suffering from advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma pressing on his heart, so severe doctors couldn’t perform a biopsy. After intense treatment and suffering, Peter drew strength from the Eucharist and trusted God could heal him. During an audience in St. Peter’s Square, his father gave Pope Benedict XVI a bracelet reading “Pray for Peter.” When Peter asked for a blessing, the Pope unexpectedly placed his hand directly on Peter’s chest, where the tumor was. From that moment, Peter steadily improved and, against all medical expectations, fully recovered. He later entered seminary and was ordained a priest on May 15, 2021.
Really intelligent people tend to make this really stupid mistake. This is Otto von Bismarck, former Chancellor of Germany. Despite almost universal acclaim for his diplomacy, even he made a really stupid mistake. Between 1871 and 1878, Bismarck’s goal was to subordinate the Catholic Church to the newly unified German Empire, fearing that Catholics (who looked to the Pope in Rome) were a "threat" to national unity. This time became known as the "Kulturkampf" (Cultural Struggle). By 1878, Bismarck realized the Kulturkampf was failing. Instead of breaking the Catholic Church, the persecution had unified Catholics and strengthened the Zentrum (Center) Party. Needing Catholic support to fight his new political enemy—the Socialists—Bismarck began a slow "retreat" from these policies, eventually repealing or modifying most of the laws by 1887. The lesson: Don't be like Otto. Stay in your lane. Hire help.
Otto von Bismarck, despite his diplomatic brilliance, misjudged his attempt to weaken the Catholic Church during the Kulturkampf (1871–1878). Instead of undermining Catholic influence, his policies unified Catholics and strengthened their political party. Realizing the failure, Bismarck reversed course to gain Catholic support against Socialists, rolling back most measures by 1887.
Pope Leo has named Rev. Don Stefano Cascio as Vice Director of the Laudato Si’ Center for Advanced Training, an initiative established by Pope Francis to promote integral ecology by addressing climate change, sustainability, and social justice. The appointment underscores both continuity and a renewed strengthening of the Vatican’s commitment to the principles of Laudato si’.
The humans on earth who live in our times and believe, usurp, and occupy the "high places" are leading themselves and attempting to lead others to hell as they believe that they are gods as they build this hell on earth on behalf of satan and on behalf of themselves. As the serpent promised to Adam and Eve "and you shall be as gods knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5
