We shouldn't even seriously try to conceive of eternity, just because it's a waste of time. God is not subject to time, that's what His eternality means. And that God is not subject to time, is mere grammar, since God, the noun, cannot be, semantically, subject to any other noun. He may be...

John Shelby Spong knew nothing about the Church. Come to Mass.

That's untrue. I highly recommend people disregard this statement.

By comparison to US-China relations, Russia gets along with them handsomely.

You don't even believe Catholics are Christian---what do you care?

ICBMs are the biggest guns there are. And China looks like they're building them so that the US is in their range. Big deal, or No big deal? https://us.cnn.com/2021/07/02/asia/china-missile-silos-intl-hnk-ml/index.html

So we agree that whatever the ark is, Christ died for those who are aboard the ark, because those aboard the ark are the ones who are saved and who will be saved, just like the people on Noah's ark were saved. He died to save those aboard the ark.

Well yeah. Those that are not on the ark, are not saved. The Church is the new ark, 1st Peter 3: Baptism the initiation into the Church. This is all about the unbaptized. They don't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. They are not aboard the new ark. And Who is risen for them: Peace to you.

I don't associate with any known felons /violent criminals. I know that it's easy for me to do this, since I don't know many; and that it's difficult for many Black young men to do this, to not associate with such. I don't have a solution for that because I think, What are we supposed to do...

And most corporate employees don't pay their own income taxes directly either, their employers, the corporations do, when they withhold taxes from paychecks, then they pay the government on behalf of the employees.

Is that in the Catechism or is it canon law or something? My priest said that he knew of some parishes who baked their own bread for the host, but didn't mention anything about how it had to be just wheat flour and water. He said it didn't even have to be unleavened. Perhaps he was leading us...

God gave the Apostles the authority to give the bishops the authority to impose a celibacy requirement upon future priests and bishops. Their duty is to preserve and transmit the teachings of the Apostles, and to administrate the Church's institutions, that were established by Christ and by the...

I don't know of any restriction on what the host can be. As long as it can be called bread, which I believe just means, made with a flour from a grain, and baked. So, Oreos, Cheezit, Triscuit, they could be the host. It's the consecration that's sacramental, not the particular type of 'bread'.

Yes the American South had an economy that to many planters was largely based on slavery, they were unique among what are now known as developed countries. And along with slavery, racism still exists today as well, in many countries, but not in the US. And what I mean by that, is that we don't...

The popes all effectively constantly speak what's in the Catechism though, and the Catechism is not ambiguous on the gravity of procured abortions, and Pope Francis hasn't changed or attempted to change what's in there on the matter either.

Work that He does as we come to Mass, and licitly receive and ingest His only begotten Son's body, blood, soul and divinity, in the Eucharist. Come to Mass.

So in your personal experience, your method or argument has worked? You've converted people to your view on the matter? Are you invoking the video because it converted someone you know personally? There are so many other human rights that are not applicable to the fetus, mainly because in...

Died a hero though. For sure.

Does that work on real people? I understand this is your answer to my hypothetical questions, but have you given that answer to people who don't already think that abortion should be tightly restricted or banned? Are people persuaded by this reasoning?
