We must be mindful too of the notion of in persona Christi. Whenever anyone, even if they're not a believer, baptizes anyone else, in the name of the Trinity, they validly baptize in persona Christi. This is what the Apostles taught, and we know this for certain, because it's what all the...

Mass is Mass.

An internet rando said so!

Also true.

Do you have a point.

Even though the devil we know is a devil, we know this devil. This devil is less likely to surprise us, because we know this devil. Maybe the successor won't be a devil at all, but maybe he will be. And if he is, maybe he won't be as bad a devil, or maybe he'd be the same bad, and maybe he'd...

You're kidding.

Ugh. So your answer is yes, I should take "this guy's" personal interpretation over the Supreme Court's de facto Constitutional interpretation. The Supreme Court's ruling is that the prefatory clause basically doesn't matter when interpreting the operative clause.

Arthur, you have no idea about that. That's unsubstantiated. There easily could be a more evil man in his organization. I mean, you know the story of Stalin right? We thought Lenin was bad. We had no idea.

Same way Mass helps anyone with power, transportation, Police 911, running water, and unlimited food. We hear Christ speak His Word and Gospel, and we are in His Real Presence, and, for those of us blessed and lucky enough to be in full communion, we can also boldly receive His body, blood...

And so this man's interpretation I should be taking over the Supreme Court's interpretation, is what you're telling us? Be clear if that's what you mean. Yes or no.

So much for the young man profile. I hate mass murderers. Especially the Kamikazes.

I can't help but be reminded that there are city ending nuclear guns involved here. I just don't buy that "disarray" is something we ought to be hoping for. I don't take that bet. I've said before that because of how Russian politics has collapsed completely into Stupid Putin's personal...

How old was he did they say yet? Back surgery usually means older (than 27) but not necessarily.

The hierarchical organization Putin the Idiot set up for his ascendancy to apparent absolute autocracy, is not going to produce moral men, no absolute autocrats' organizations ever do. That's why we have to ask if maybe Putin the Imbecile isn't the better option than his replacement or...

I don't need "this guy" to tell me it says A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. There's no notes in the appendix.

Yeah. OK. For you, but lots of priests celebrate Mass multiple times on weekends and also during the week. Understand what?

When the power grid goes down, you try to go to Mass. When it's back up, you try to go to Mass. Go to Mass. We went to Mass before any power grid ever existed, and we'll go to Mass if there's no more power grid, and everything in between. The pope says Go to Mass.

@TomO That's what I'm worried about. @ok doser constantly reminds us of President Obama's comment about then VP Biden's ability to . . . make a mess. But he's got nothing on Europe! These people have the war philosophy of wild dogs, of insects even, perhaps even insects have a better sense...

Of course it might. We might get another Gorbachev who knows, but maybe we get another Putin or worse too. I'm not a pessimist I'm an optometrist. Have you ever been in a situation where the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know? Cliches exist for a reason, they didn't catch...
