Yes. If there's any 'Israel's covenant' that's been put on hold, it's that one. And we're justified in asking why. If there is an answer to why this covenant, the 'old' covenant, has been 'put on hold', then we are justified in seeking it. The notion that there are currently two 'Israel's...

A good liberal---a true liberal---knows how important a right the right to keep and bear arms is. Justice Clarence Thomas I believe, is a true liberal. It's just like liberals to call Thomas 'conservative', when they are all actually the conservatives here, because they are paternalists on gun...

Agreed! Because nobody murders for that reason. This is just one of the excuses that murderers give for their murdering. Of course it's not justified. Our rights are all those excuses that murderers give for murdering that is not a valid justification. Self-defense of course is a valid...

A metaphor that RD uses is a swimming pool with lanes. He says ethics is what you do in your own lane, how you swim your own race basically, and morals is if you go into someone else's lane. We all agree that murder is immoral; rape, and perjury. We argue about other matters, but where we all...

You do not understand violent criminals, and that these pedophiles are violent criminals. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/14/us/snl-horatio-sanz-sexual-assault-grooming-minor-trnd/index.html Look at this guy, Mr. Horatio Sanz. He's accused, I'm not going to say whether he is guilty or not, but...

The focus is on emissions, which big picture, seems ridiculous because of the effort required to move away from burning 'fossil' fuels for heat. Combined with that we're going to run out of them anyway. We've been told this for decades. Oil, will run out. Coal, will run out. Natural gas...

The right to bear arms is hard to see in a society as egalitarian as ours is, but it's simple to see in an aristocratic one like England's. They treat the royal family there like they are better than the rest of them, and it's complete fiction and theater, but they all seem to really enjoy...

You should at least own up to the limit of what the law allows. Sounds like in your case it would be at least a couple AR patterns (perhaps with manufacture dates pre-September 1994?) with tons of ten-round magazines (all loaded, empty mags are useless in every scenario). Or something...

Sherman, Dispensationalists are able to sprinkle their Dispensationalism all over the place here, am I limited to sprinkle Catholicism only in cordoned off Catholic only threads? Or can you specify or just point out something brief that can help me calibrate appropriately? I have multiple...

I think I was more specific. It was an error of politics, an error of political morality. They believed that because their victims did not confess the same creed, that they were inferior and that meant they didn't have the same rights, among them the right to religious liberty. And the right...

We call it chastity. It covers all bedroom /genitals ethics, whether married or single. God approves of chastity. But I want to know what RD thinks too.

I think the trick is to make them not corrupted by bias, not try to find them that way. We're a democracy, and while we don't vote for judges, we do vote for politicians who appoint (hire) judges. President Trump hired three Supreme Court justices. His record is unprecedented, only George...

They didn't believe in the right to religious liberty.

False dichotomy.

That's exactly what the courts are for in our regime of separated powers (independent judiciary). That's where climate change and abortion should be hashed out too.

Does Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, require the Church to observe certain bedroom morals, or is everything permissible?

'Peewee Herman' was definitely obnoxious and thoughtlessly selfish. An extremely poor role model. Ethically bankrupt, except as a showman, obviously. People paid money to watch him perform, and that remains true to this day, he still gets good gigs as an actor.

Plenty of Catholics have been burned at the stake by Protestants too what's your point

I think that it's responsible to attempt to punish violent criminals, wherever they are, but not if we bankrupt ourselves in the process, and make no discernible progress. If we can easily afford to have police disable and capture all the world's violent criminals, then I think justice demands...

But the "brook" of the Eucharist never dries up. Come, to Mass.
