That’s beautiful. I want that some day

:D

So glad theyre helping, hang in there!

Thanks so much!

I agree! Hence the mess we are in! 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s so much fun, not so fun…you kids start using nonseculars…it sound like you cant speak properly!

There may well be thousands of Protestant denominations, but there are not anything like thirty thousand. That figure was created by counting the same denomination in multiple places as separate denominations. This is obviously absurd. A Lutheran from Minnesota might worship in a Lutheran church in Norway and consider himself in the same denomination, for example.

​@@sanjivjhangiani3243I hear what your saying but I also think there are thousands because they do split off and teach/preach their "own" thing. So you may have 7 Southern Baptist churches in one town, but they hold to different doctrines depending on the Pastor. (I just threw out Southern Baptists for example purposes, I don't know if that's a problem they have in their ranks).

@@sanjivjhangiani3243 Even if one concedes the "thousands of denominations" claim, the issue of multiple (and often conflicting) interpretations on the Bible and sources of authority (and we all know there are way more than TWO Protestant groups) still plagues the Protestant no matter how much one sugar-coats it.

@@sanjivjhangiani3243 It appears that you miss the underlying point of invoking the reality of 'thousands of Protestant denominations'. This is an honest question - are you aware that the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches all have the exact same 7 sacraments (though they might have slightly different terms for them) - Baptism (water), Communion (Eucharist), Confirmation (Chrismation), Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders (Priesthood) and Unction? The definition and limits of each Sacrament might vary, but the fact is that all of the Apostolic era Churches, bar none, all agree to the underlying theology of these. *What does this say about the Protestants denominations who deny one of more of these?* *It appears that the only Sacrament maintained valid by ALL Protestant denomination is Marriage.* Even Holy Orders is butchered to a point where any man and his mouse can declare themselves a 'pastor' on the basis that they can read and have an interpretation of the Bible.

@@alisterrebelo9013 No, I wasn't missing the point. I am willing to concede that the implications of there being many Protestant denominations with widely differing beliefs is a major problem for the Protestant position (which I don't hold, BTW; I am Catholic). I am just saying that it's not literally true to say that there are tens of thousands of Protestant denominations. That figure was obtained by counting the same denomination separately in different countries

I've always heard us being called Gen Y or the Oregon Trail generation. I kinda hate that they lumped us in with the Millennials. I don't relate to them much. 😂

Agreed!

I assume she's referring to times during the Reformation when Catholic Mass was banned in places like England and heavily censured in Ireland by the British rulers. For example I've heard of things like the "Irish penal rosary" where it's just one decade with a ring on one end and you kept it and your hand in your pocket so as to not be seen praying it. That said, that all happened long ago so I'm not quite getting to connection to now... but I guess it could be cultural practises that were passed down, maybe?

All charismatic Catholics are Roman Catholics , but not all Roman Catholics are charismatic Catholics. The Charismatic movement, within the Catholic Church, favors emphasizing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and involves fairly emotional mass services. For the purpose of this answer, I am neither supporting nor opposing this movement, merely describing it.

No difference. Charismatic is an adjective to describe how some catholics choose to worship.

It wasn’t even Pachamama.

Not all parish priests are trustworthy, some push a liberal agenda using their office as a cudgel. Look at the scandals and the liturgical abuses , the contempt for the laity in faith and resources as the most obvious examples of how the old fashioned trust your priests is not always wise.

Amen.

real.

Am i missing something? Y not trent?

@@sonu8034 Because He doesn’t see anything wrong with Suplicans Saw him at Ben Shapiro

@@jmm91910 oh i didnt knw anything about that. What exactly happend? Can u elaborate.

Trent doesn't agree with his opinion therefore Trent is bad.

@@StringofPearls55 U mean trent doesnt agree wth ben's opinion? What was ben's opinion? Nd what was the topic? I really meant it whn i said i dnt knw anything about this.😅

Can you provide a source for the marijuana point, either the relevant CCC passage or where Trent said that?

Where in church history have the group that "risked it" on opposing the papal magisterium (not the disciplines, the magisterium) ever been vindicated? It's a losing bet.

Uh... he is traditional. Not sure where you get that from.

How not?

In what way is Trent out of line with the deposit of faith?

How many Catholics sin? What is wrong with blessing the sinner and not the sin? Why welcome sinning Catholics but condemn outsiders from attempting to correct themselves? Am I missing something?

@@Skarlet-ju8sr If you read the whole document it says Couples not individuals (individuals could always receive one). It also says it’s an innovation and development in Church teaching. This evil is contradicted by 4K years of Divine Revelation and 2K years of church teaching and Tradition, in 2021 the magisterium released a document condemning what they are now permitting. The Church has never allowed this until now.

@TruthSeeker-333 it also explicitly forbids blessing the sin, and blessing the nature of their UNION. It forbids a formalized blessing in a holy place and it forbids gestures. Emphasis is placed on the blessings of the individuals within the couple, not the nature of the relationship. You people are conflating intentions when EXPLICIT LIMITATIONS on the blessing were placed. To be spontaneous instead of planned. I get where you are coming from, but do you even get where the Pope AND the Magisterium are coming from?

@@Skarlet-ju8srThe document says nothing about blessing individuals, it says COUPLES - several times. Was God and His Church wrong all this time? Why was this forbidden until now? I know evil when I see it, my children do too, and so do all the Bishops in Africa

​@@TruthSeeker-333FS changes nothing. If a priest can bless an entire congregation, or a choir, or a brother and sister going on a trip, then certainly a couple in an irregular situation may have one as well. And it was an act of charity to the German bishops, showing them where the line is and clarifying what they can do. Those looking at this and teaching their children to look at this like you do, are not erring on the side of love. It is very uncharitable. Holy zeal would be better expressed in extra prayer, adoration and Mass. Not publicly detracting and dissenting from the one thing that God has given us Catholics that holds us together. You and the others are acting like a rebellious son running around the house slandering the father and telling them to move to the ape house next door. Haven't you noticed the enemies tactics yet? He loves to set up camp right next to God's people, all around, to the left, to the right, north, south, he even gets into our camp, he can look and talk like us, but you'll notice him in the pride. He can't stand to pretend to be humble for too long. You'll notice him in the division, divide and conquer is his best strategy. You'll notice him being among the loudest voices in the crowd, because he wants you listening to him instead of God, in prayer. If my reply is immodest, please forgive me.
