Catholicism believes that all who believe in Christ, that He is risen from the dead and the Son of God, are Christians. You're not Catholic, so you would not have any reason to know this. @Caino you are generally welcome at any Catholic Mass (although Advent Masses and Christmas Mass might...

Do you mean by this that you believe in His Resurrection? I accept all who believe in Christ as my fellow Christian, even if separated, and only imperfectly united, as this condition is only temporary and not eternal.

How you could have possibly inferred that I said anything resembling this is beyond me. It's much closer to the opposite: that the popes are, and always have been, under the authority of St. Paul. The divine tradition originating in Paul is part of the Sacred Apostolic Tradition that all...

The institution of the office of a bishop is both; false dilemma. The office was instituted by the Apostles including Paul during their era, and it has never stopped in 2,000 years.

And yet the three justices.... He could throw everybody under the bus, but those justices persist. They survive this election, whether or not the president does, and they survive his at most four more years in office too. I again compare his personal history, all the things he's ever said...

Resolution? l o l. No, I'm not under any illusions about what's possible and what's not possible here. :chuckle:

Picking political leaders pertains to representative democracy. Why would one believe that it pertains to representative democracy?

One of my favorite scriptures. How 'bout you.

Not really. Not at all. I don't know who you're talking about and I've never "voted Libertarian". And why didn't you have a problem with it? OK.

Which equals abstention. You'll abstain. Might as well stay home. Don't even drop it in the mailbox, for all the good your vote will do.

There's two parties that actually win elections, so disparaging the Republican candidate for president is the same as campaigning for the Democrat candidate, a candidate who's even less likely to re-criminalize homosexuality than the Republican candidate is.

And you're electioneering for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Because you're a quote-unquote "conservative".

So this thread might as well just be called Biden-Harris Democrat party campaign headquarters at this point.

:Plain: Uh-huh.

No. Universal. It doesn't matter if you're a liberal or a socialist or a conservative or an anarchist or an absolute monarchist or a fascist or whatever, no matter who or what you are, if you infringe anybody's universal rights without justification then you are immoral in so doing.

The core tenet if there is one of liberalism is that there exist certain universal rights, and that they are moral in nature and in character. Libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, or just capitalism, are all liberalisms, that lean toward the distinct ideology known as anarchism. They all...

So I've told you that I'm a boy. You keep saying, No you're a girl. I said again No, I'm a boy, read what I said again. Now you ask this. So this now is just gas lighting on your part. I'm a boy. Slash LIBERAL---not a libertarian. I'm denying I'm libertarian, because I'm not a libertarian. I...

You could have just read what I already wrote about this very subject. That too is simple. Would have been. Had you done that. But no, I know I know. Your thread. You're allowed to act like a caricature and never break character. It means whatever you want it to mean. Which is why I asked the...

I already set out my ideology, it is markedly distinct from libertarianism (anarcho-capitalism or anarchistic liberalism). What does diversity mean here? You're liberal with a conservative (paternalistic) bent. Unless you're just a conservative, in which case your paternalism would be the...

I can speak for myself. I'm not "ashamed" of being something that I am not. I am not a libertarian. I explained plainly why. I know what a libertarian is, and I am not one. I am an absolutist, radical, fundamentalist liberal. Libertarians are anarchistic liberals, libertarians do not...
