The constitution has been applied arbitrarily since almost the very start. The United States lasted from 1776 to 1861. Since then it has become a messianic enterprise that regards the rest of the world with the same disdain as it regarded the american indians, who had the misfortune of simply existing in the territories that protestants coveted.
https://terrisa2024.comThis is a pic of pro- life atheist Teresa B that she posted on her twitter feed . I told her to cover up and she blocked me . While she was vacationing in sunny Florida good Catholic members of her organization are in prison for 8 months facing 11 year sentences for attempting to peacefully rescue babies . While I don’t deny her a vacation, couldn’t she be a little bit more sensitive? Is this who we want representing the babies?
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.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.
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.
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?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.
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.
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?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?
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.
