No. I have a low opinion of people’s ability to really think things through. Just see fast lazy conclusions. And attention spans in general are garbage. These kinds of questions are a great opportunity and deserve long term thought and prayerful reflection of Scripture. There is nothing wrong...

You are militating a position and not thinking. Why was Paul telling “ pagans “ that they were worshipping God as the “ unknown God “. Man, real thinkers are truly rare in this world. Just hard fast trash determinations.

The Old Testament Israelites didn’t believe in the Trinity, were they worshipping a different God? Take time to really reflect on it, don’t be rash and lazy making snap determinations. Read Paul and his approach to the pagan Greeks, speaking of the unknown God. This is Paul talking to pagans.

I’m from Tipperary heritage, a highway man sentenced to death by the British around the famine, but was commuted to deportation to the Australia. Breakfast for him was bread water and a kick to the guts. Sweet sugary things were never really a feature, our line was mostly hunters and poachers...

In monastic contemplative life we see Christian community owning everything in common as mentioned in Scripture of the Early Church. They weren’t “communist” as people say, they were monastic, deliberately communal so as to free themselves to think of the higher things. There is detachment...

“Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve...

You have a whole political party that was voted in by half your population that facilitated illegal trafficking of non citizens into your country. Why not a Democrat tax for starters?

Excuse the pun. But I think if people understood the power fasting adds to prayer, most of the world’s problems would be solved. Most people don’t fast, and it is barely mentioned much, and is treated anachronistically, almost like mentioning virtue. The Eucharist is what I would miss most...

You reject anything a Catholic would tell you about the Bible. How about a Baptist SBC dispensationalist?

Are you a KJV only guy?

Catholics are the ones that preserved the scriptures from the Apostles, through countless persecutions and assembled and determined the first Bible. Catholics are the ones who told the world what is the Word of God, we understand it properly and have had it long before Protestants or Baptist’s...

I suggest a quality Church warden pipe. And 5lbs of the finest aged Black cavendish to think this through.

People need to take the requisite time to think this through.

Preach it. I’ll watch the occasional Rugby Union game if it’s a big International, but can’t stand the fanfare, it’s IQ lowering essence of diarrhoea at best, sinful at worst.

In Luke 18 Jesus gives us the principle of persistence in prayer and supplication. The Novena exercises Jesus principal of persistent prayer. It’s not merely a passing thought that we ask God with, it’s taking real time, bother and effort, this carries more weight, especially if fasting is...
