Rome's priest doesn't, but the Church's priesthood, the office, does. The man who validly holds the office has the right to exercise the supernatural power to confect the Eucharist, but that supernatural power is assigned to the office by God, and the power itself obviously is God's (being...

More interestingly, what about when He was an embryo? Many different creatures look alike as embryos in very early gestation. When Our Lord was a one-week old embryo He probably looked like a cow or chicken or pig or gorilla embryo at a similar stage of gestation, but wasn't He really God even...

Let me explain in intimate detail "how the host is handled and maintained, at least in our Church": The consecrated host has all the accidents of bread (except for if Eucharistic miracles are ontic or obtain). What happens when someone breaks the host and crumbs fall on the floor? First, the...

lol no. I am Catholic, and I know my faith, which is called Catholicism, and is firstly an organization of offices, and also is a creed. The New Covenant was dedicated by His own blood, no? Sounds like you have an opinion on the matter. The two offices of the One Church are held by men who...

I understand metabolism very broadly to be the sum of anabolism (tissue building) and catabolism (tissue diminishing), such that, at caloric balance (maintenance of body mass diet), the sum is zero, you build the same amount of tissue that you diminish. The worst way to maintain your body...

14's a little young to be suicidal maybe (maybe not). But anyway, there was some interaction with this kid and his father and the local police within the past year. Once again, there was a red flag, advanced warning.

Ukrainians are the most recent fairly modern people to learn the hard way that war can break out at any moment. You have a right to prepare for war. That means guns. It's a basic human right. The countries (all of em, like literally, except for, maybe, the Czech Republic) which deny you your...

Don't quote Catholicism to me; I am Catholic. A Levitical high priest. Vs. the priesthood of the order of Melchizedek. No. I said go to Eucharistic Adoration instead of Mass, so clearly not. It's just not FOR you. You'll be cursed with feeling unwelcome, which you certainly will be, when...

Fact check: True

Seems like a nice Protestant (partisan) dictionary definition. The confected Eucharist is the holy-of-holies and Who we're always kneeling toward at Catholic Mass. Kneel, kneel, kneel, kneel; all the kneeling is toward Jesus, or it's supposed to be anyway (there's some confusion out there...

Not so much about Catholicism, but about Protestants. The narrator said that Protestants believe the Bible's authority is categorically comparable to the authority of the Church's officers in Catholicism (validly ordained bishops), but this is a category error. Catholicism agrees with...

We care a lot about things companies make to go in our bodies, so we look at their processes like a hawk (FDA). If we cared a lot about democracy, we would also look at ballot casting processes like a hawk. Same, same. Tell me what's wrong with that?

You SHOULD be carefully watching the ballot casting process, in a vibrant, healthy democracy, SHOULDN'T you?

No. You're a modalist. Because Jesus IS the Father, right? Meaning He is acting as the Father at one time, and acting as the Son another time, and acts as the Holy Spirit today, right? And the Holy Spirit is Him; you said above. You're a modalist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_and_loosing Binding and loosing is an interesting term.

God is the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the Son and is not the Holy Spirit, and the Son is not the Holy Spirit.

A movie promoting Catastrophic Plate Tectonics said each layer or stratus I think, was caused by a different global tsunami. So each successive tsunami brought with it distinct types of corpses. There doesn't even really need to be any rhyme or reason for why the types of corpses were carried...

rn we're arguing about the discipline of the author's area of expertise. What we need to know is, what is the discipline of the doctors we're going to go get a second opinion from? Not literature doctors (iow, philosophers), but science and perhaps engineering (I'm not sold engineers have any...

Few sought a second opinion if (Dr.) Jack Welch shared his opinion on business and management with them. Although certainly some did. But they wouldn't seek a second opinion, from someone who wasn't a business and leadership expert, from someone whose opinion carried far less weight than Jack...
