Sure.

Then I repeat: If you boys didn't want to talk about corruption why did you bring it up.

Literally no qualified credentialed biblical translators ever chose "logic" to render the underlying koine Greek word there. Why not? If it were at least not unreasonable then at least someone would have selected "logic" like you have here, but nope. Meaning it's unreasonable to suppose that...

The person holding the "White Power" sign is NOT a racist!

It was enough to get me to respond to your claim, suggestion, implication, accusation that the separation of powers is more responsible for corruption than other more unitary political situations. Yes.

So now pagan Native American deities can be added to the list of entities with more rights than unborn human babies. Plain.

President Trump made some good choices.

Nope. I mention vaccines because most people who do die from covid do not have vaccines. I am not twitter, but I do know that they recently banned a user who developed the vaccines, and who has broken away from the other scientists and doctors who developed them, and as far as I can tell, he...

If you boys didn't want to talk about corruption why did you bring it up.

Just so long as the Supreme Court stays healthy until the next Repub president.

It's because the people who are dying from covid are still largely unvaccinated. People don't want people to die because of something stupid is all.

Your post indicated that corruption overall is a problem where there's separation of powers. I answered that notion directly. There is not that problem. And I further addressed that if there is the problem that you claim is occurring, then it must be that this problem is much less severe of a...

I would like to see some sort of source that supports your claim that corruption is particularly a problem in the western democracies like the US, Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, Australia, NZ, Canada, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Scandanavia, Netherlands; and that it's not more particularly a...

That's absolute democracy, yes. 'Democracy' is shorthand for 'liberal democracy', where the liberal institutions prevail; separation of powers (independent judiciary), constitutionalism, rule of law, civilian control of the military.

The consecrated host is kept safe in a safe-like cabinet called the tabernacle. We kneel toward the tabernacle when we enter and before we leave the church (where Mass is).

Every 'western developed wealthy democracy' (code words for America and our 'clones') is free. What you and other extreme rightists mean by freedom and liberty is more akin to anarchism. Us liberals believe in freedom and liberty we just believe in at minimum a 'night watchman' regime, while...

Only that Peter was one of the Twelve who consecrated bishops during his lifetime, just like Paul did, through the imposition of his hands, which is part of the celebration of the sacrament of Holy Orders. And you're right that Orthodox bishops are also valid bishops along with Catholic...

Apples and oranges. The popes do not ascend to Peter's seat during the celebration of the sacrament of Holy Orders. There's Holy Orders on the one side (where bishops are validly consecrated by existing bishops), and then there's who the pope is on the other. And apart from the pope being a...

Literally nobody claimed otherwise.

I'll just repeat again the third sentence in the OP. " Apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles." Your Dispensationalist narrative is clouding your judgment. Where do you think the idea of bishops comes from? The Bible. Especially, Paul the Apostle's...
