Parody. In breaking news, President Obama, 46 years old when he won his party's nomination for President in 2008, back when Joe Biden was 65 years old and his running mate, has finally agreed that Biden, now 77, is ready to be President. "I honestly didn't think he'd ever really be ready, but...

This is the thread to express all the joys great and small that Catholics and Antiprotestants experience as believers and subscribers to Catholic theology inclusive, in shorthand Catholicism. I'll kick it off with a recent joy I experienced, that in this time of social distancing and lockdowns...

The theme singular, was exercising free speech and freedom of expression and religious liberty and freedom of conscience. Driving cars and using tobacco are also hazardous for health. And guns. Do you think that those things ought to be criminalized, for health? Child molestation is against...

Nope.

I said "the one" in the Bible. The Corinthians were "members of the one Church in the Bible", like the Romans too were "members of the one Church in the Bible", and how the Thessalonians were also "members of the one Church in the Bible". The one Church in the Bible is my Church, it's the...

No, same Church. The one in the Bible. That's a distorted way to look at it. You make light of grave sin. How about masturbation? All grave matter. All needs to be called what it is to our children, adolescents, and young adults, that all of this is gravely immoral, and unhealthy, with no...

Yeah I am a member of an ancient Church who uses words even more traditional than the words you're familiar with, and to my Church fornication is every offense against chastity, and every sort of fornication is grave matter, which means the most serious sort of sin that there is. The fornication...

Yep. Fornication offends chastity. That's one sort of fornication. Fornication should be taught against to children and adolescents and young adults. With the fear of God if necessary, but definitely taught against, because offending against chastity is a pit that people fall into and there...

You mean, in that, we just casually are aware of what people for decades have been saying is done in private, behind closed doors, now openly and crassly, even and maybe especially now in the presence of children, impressionable children, that people are practicing fornication of various sorts...

. . .th. Of what keeps TOL brimming with new content. I see there are 140 active members on TOL, that's something the old format didn't do, this one runs an algorithm and it says there are 140 users it considers active. So congratulations for being 1 /140th of what makes TOL a breathing...

Ask me anything about our distinctive accent. Ask me to convert or translate, or post a vid and ask my impression of actors /speakers trying to simulate the accent. I'm not a doctor of the Boston accent, as there is no such thing, but I am a native Bostonian, and was completely 'born and...

‘Ceteris paribus,’ we all have the same thoughts and feelings. Language is our window to the world. Without language we’re not even observing the world, we are instead of looking through a window, we are looking at a blank wall that completely hides the world from us. The lack of language in...

Jesus, Peter, and Paul each named the Father, Son, and Spirit in one sentence. Matthew 28:19 KJV 1st Peter 1:2 KJV 2 Corinthians 13:14 KJV There are two propositions regarding the Trinity; "God is the Trinity," and its negation, that, "It is not the case that God is the Trinity." I will use...

Good Friday is one of the most solemn days of the authentic Christian faith's calendar, arguably the most solemn day. Good Friday is the one day of the year when the pastors of the ancientest Christian tradition do not /are not authorized to consecrate the host, but only distribute Holy...

I read about the Brunei. Laws authorize stoning as punishment for LGBT/I/Q/+ conjugal behavior, but you know what else? Common heterosexual adultery. I don't know how to process the uproar over LGBT/Q/I/+, combined with the silence over adultery. My own Christian faith takes them as equally...

How is it possible if the earth's flat? I'm not saying that it's proof, but it really demands a satisfactory explanation. If I want to go west, and south of my current position, then I head south-west. But not from New York to Southeast Asia. For that, I go north-west, and I get there...

In order to fly from New York to southeast Asia, which is west and south of New York, the fastest straight line route is to fly northwest from New York instead of southwest. Southeast Asia is south and west of New York. But instead you fly northwest, in a certain direction, on a straight...

We must respect people. We don't have to agree with them, but we must respect them. I believe that 'Love your neighbor' means at minimum, 'Respect your neighbor.' And when our neighbor doesn't respect us, then we must recall our prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who...

People have forever tried to protect their own from criminal prosecution. It's wrongheaded and unjust. It occurs in families, in the police and military, in government, in business, and yes, in churches. It needs to stop. Whenever there is a criminal complaint against someone, call the...

The problem was and sadly remains, that bishops didn't want to simply refer complainants to local police, when they reported that priests were committing crimes. This behavior of not involving the police in criminal complaints, occurs in lots of organizations, including businesses, schools...
