Does anyone know if the idea of a "superbug" is possible in viruses, or is it just bacteria? It sounds more like the facility, building, would be the problem, at least to me. Something got out. That means "biosafety level 4" really means "not safe at all", since it let out the covid.

Illiberal democracy is just as evil as absolute monarchism. Neither protects rights. But liberal democracy is not evil. Neither would be liberal or constitutional monarchism.

The Catholic bishops claim authority in teaching "faith and morals". Loosely, what we believe, and what we do. But really, it's what we believe and what we believe about what we should do. Whenever we think about obligation, we feel like we're dealing with morals, but not according to this...

They're not. Commands, commandments, laws, they are biblical. Rights aren't. That's totally fine. Rights come from moral philosophy, where they are the best way for us to formulate a theory of morals that's independent of religion. Morals here means it's someone else's life, not yours, so...

There are at least two racisms, one is a state of mind, which is what Democrats and leftists and progressives mean by racism. The other is the answer to the question, What do you call a person who violates human rights based on race? This racism doesn't require a state of mind, it is objective...

Wow yeah look at that,

In your own home diocese. Find out the closest parish church to you, decide which day you'd like to attend. Check on the parish's website (or drive by it and look at its sign out front) if there's Mass on that day, some parishes celebrate Mass every day of the week, but almost all of them will...

I think that's clear. See OP.

Unsurprising that any Democrat or progressive users replied here. They know they'd get decimated in this discussion. Fact is it is unclear whether or not President Trump is a racist, or a rapist. And it is also unclear whether President Biden is a rapist. That's all we know.

Why isn't this President Biden's version of President Trump's "They let you grab them" remark? It reveals a fundamentally racist worldview. This level of hypocrisy is why we are so divided as a nation. This is all just party politics, we have our political views, and we vote for the candidate...

And His offer is eternal, and He said to celebrate His offer continually until He comes again, which is exactly what eternal looks like, when it meets with temporality: it goes on forever. We're going to continue to celebrate His offer forever too, because it is eternal. We're not going to...

It doesn't make any difference. Let's say I'll agree that MML&J are Old Testament. You still won't agree that Acts is New Testament, you'll argue that the New Testament has been put on hold, and that Acts, when it's talking about Paul, isn't the New Testament, it's Paul's dispensation of...

You made that up.

And to any of your dead kin who you believe are in heaven to hear your prayer, which is some form of the general petition "Pray for us". We only have objective confirmation of those recognized as Saints, but upon purification, all believers, and this includes far too many Protestants, will...

Since your ecclesiology is null, as we've discussed, you of course failed to notice that Paul here merely describes the initiation of each Ephesian Christian into Church life, which means Sunday Mass. Paul says they trusted in the Lord, which means that they decided to convert /be received into...

You base your thoughts on the Scripture, no problem. Problem is that there were 17 years, from the Ascension to AD 50, where the Church existed, lived, operated, without a single New Testament book. Mark, or Galatians, or 1st Thessalonians was written that year, one of those books is...

There is no weakness in Catholic ecclesiology, and you don't even have an ecclesiology. Church is literally a topic, subject, character in the New Testament, and you don't even have a thing to say about it. Your ecclesiology is null. 'Curious.

I think his error was in rejecting the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, or that the importance of the Apostolic Church office of a bishop (the authorized pastorate, cf. 1 Ti 3:1) has diminished or even ceased entirely.

That's like today's SAW right there: three shots, all in your general neighborhood in under a minute? Hit the deck!

I could be wrong. But I think over there, limited government and low taxes means liberal. That's what "liberal" means in Europe, including England, a f a i k---but could be wrong too. I have no idea what conservative means in England.
