The Sacred: Catholic Liturgy, Chant, Prayers / Re: Newly Baptised and Struggling

Thank you Ladislaus. This is both enlightening and comforting at the same time, to know that what I am going through helps me to make progress in the spiritual life. I will need to remember that.

Currently, I am saying the Morning Offering, 3 O'clock Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Evening Offering as my starting point. The Rosary might prove too much for me at the moment and I fear I will give it up halfway again.

Thank you for the links! I will bookmark this, so I can get back to it.
The Rosary is a powerful weapon per Padre Pio.  The Rosary and stations of the Cross are the way for a Catholic.  The divine mercy chaplet should never replace the Holy Rosary (with 3 mysteries), Stations of the Cross and Douay Rheims Bible reading.  The Holy Bible is God’s word and will help you in your life. 

Welcome to the Catholic Church

I wasn't the one to downvote you, but it might be because if the "Byzantine Catholics'" mentality is "nearly identical" to the Orthodox in the ways you mentioned and identify as "Orthodox", then are they really Catholic? 

The theology, culture, and mentalities of Byzantine Catholics -- Ruthenians especially come to mind -- is nearly identical to their schismatic Orthodox counterparts, and will sometimes identify as Orthodox in communion with the Papacy.
Yes, the Byzantine Catholics are Catholic. They share the one Apostolic Faith, possess Apostolic succession (unlike the Novus Ordo where this is an open question), celebrate the seven sacraments (mysteries in their terminology), in communion with the See of Rome.

Is there anything else needed?

Do you have a different definition of Catholic, perhaps "only Roman" equals Catholic?

Have you ever met or interacted with Byzantine Catholics? I live amongst a large population of Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox -- one of the largest concentrations outside Eastern Europe and the Near East. Although as I wrote earlier, the Byzantines are closer to the Orthodox than to Latins, I also pointed out that some Byzantines call themselves "Orthodox in communion with the Papacy."

THAT makes all the difference.

Have you read the treaties of Brest or Uzghorod? Have you seen what little Rome required of the eastern Churches to enter into communion and be identified in the West as "Catholic"? Have you seen what Rome agreed to on her part?

In COMMUNION with the PAPACY!


I am reminded of a seminary professor at STAS, freshly ordained, who kept rdferring in speech and writing to the Syriac Maronite Catholic Church as the "Marianites". 🤦‍♂️

Fighting Errors in the Modern World / Re: Bellarmine's interesting view on faith or science

I think it’s disturbing that there are “ “Catholic”priests that actually believe Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ is just a club that does good deeds.

I find it still disappointing and sad. He is promoting his same errors even recently.


Shouldn’t faith and scripture be a priority.   Also, is this all a distraction to the Sodomite problem within the Church.

Why would someone down vote this comment when I am simply laying out an ecclesiological fact?

Eastern Orthodoxy is a religious system shot through with inconsistencies and nationalisms. A Latin Catholic would be rash and foolish to defect to Orthodoxy because he would have to abandon his culture and he would always be suspect as a foreigner amongst the Orthodox. And, of course, Orthodoxy is cut off from the true Church. Even to go to the Western Orthodox vicariates with the Russians or Antiochians is senseless since most Orthodox hold that only the Byzantine liturgy is acceptable worship.

What I stated in my comment is simply a presentation of facts and a counsel against rash judgments since the distance between Byzantine Catholics and Eastern Orthodox is much shorter than thd distance between Byzantine Catholics and Roman Catholics, yet the Byzantine Catholics are own brothers in ecclesial communion.

Put up this post plus a little below to try to educate some.

Here we have a priest trying to make secular theories superior to supernatural revelation. He actually taught Thomism in a SSPX seminary, but obviously chose to ignore his most important teaching on this subject.

‘That the world began to exist is an object of faith, but not of demonstration or science. And it is useful to consider this, lest anyone, presuming to demonstrate what is of faith, should bring forward reasons that are not cogent, so as to give occasion to unbelievers to laugh, thinking that on such grounds we believe things that are of faith.’--- St. Thomas Aquinas, (Summa theolagiae I.46.2)

Now what you must know is that all Fr Paul's secular creation arose from the lie that the Church was wrong with regard to Galileo's rejection of Biblical geocentrism. Indeed all the catechesis he quotes is post-Galileo lie. In 1871 and 1887 two scientific tests were done that found the Earth does not revolve around the sun.

‘All modern cosmology stands or falls with this concept [the Copernican Principle] being correct, even though, to quote a text approved by Einstein: “We cannot feel our motion through space, nor has any experiment proved the Earth in motion.”’ (Lincoln Barnett: The universe and Dr. Einstein, Dover Publications, 1948, p.73.)

Now every word uttered in the video above is based on Catholic teaching ARISING from the Galileo lie. The council of Trent said, that when all the Fathers agree on a REVELATION of Scripture that is infallible teaching. Fr Robinson;'s heliocentric evolutionary science is based on his rejection of what Pope Paul V defined and declared, THAT GEOCENTRISM of Scripture was based on the understanding of ALL THE FATHERS. So every long-age evolutionary theory depends on rejecting this dogma of the Catholic Church. Every word that Fr Paul quoted from 'Catholic teaching' is based on a rejection of the infallibility of a revelation held by all the Fathers. Take for example fr Paul's age for the universe. He say proof of the long-ages is that the furthest star away from the Earth is 13.5 billion light-years so the universe is 'proven' to be 13.5 billion years old. Little did he know that if this is true, then the Earth must be at the cent re of the  universe. The Bible said God's immediate Creation placed all the stars out there visible to man on the sixth day. That is a supernatural teaching and Catholicism is a Supernatural religion not an atheist religion that holds every one of Fr Paul's beliefs on origins. In other words there is no time-distance involved with the Supernatural teaching.

Look I could go on but if anyone wants an answer to any question on Fr Robinson's secular religion, just let me know.

NGL (not gonna lie), makes me want to go out and vote for Trump right now. Just because he's not Biden.

And that's precisely the effect it's intended to have.  It's how they play the Left-Right paradigm game.
