With usura hath no man a house of good stone
each block cut smooth and well fitting
that design might cover their face,
with usura
hath no man a painted paradise on his church wall
harpes et luz
or where virgin receiveth message
and halo projects from incision,
with usura
Yesterday my thread about ancient warriors' bodies was RT'ed w/ fairly reasonable criticism. Since then I have been inundated with abuse from literal fascists for daring to challenge their ideas about ancient Greece.
For any adults in the room here are the receipts🧵
The body of Sister Wilhelmina is manifestly, observably, and obviously, not incorrupt.
Such absurdities as these erode the faith, and discredit real miracles.

During the Reign of Terror in 1794, 16 Carmelite nuns were sentenced to death by guillotine. One by one as they mounted the scaffold to be executed they sang in one voice “On Eagle’s Wings” and “Table of Plenty”.
Direct consequence of usury. When people started mortgaging their homes it created an unstoppable asset valuation bubble. Your home is no longer the place where you rest your head, but it is now your most valuable asset.
This is why it is so scandalous that the Popes and bishops and priests since V2 have lost all semblance of pomp. They degrade their own offices by construing them with their own worthiness, as if it were not God who allowed them to inherit such an office.
The guy isn’t smart enough to know it but he is making the case for raw milk. The benefits of raw milk microbiologically are in how milk’s natural flora offer protection from pathogens. Thread…

One of the big reasons I’m unironically a space skeptic is because it bears the hallmark of Satan - that is, it inverts man’s place in the cosmos. Man is created in the image of God and the sum of all creation, but according to space and time man is a speck in an infinite cosmos.
It's not that you shouldn't wear yoga pants because they make you look like a slob, you shouldn't wear yoga pants because they make you look (and act) like a harlot. Until there's a moral constitution to dress it will always be, as Derek näively argues, arbitrary.
In 1942, when the Holocaust began, the Jewish population of Germany was around 200,000 (men, women, children). The size of the German Wehrmacht was over 8 million (not counting police). Don't pretend that a small number of Jews with firearms could have prevented the Holocaust.

One of modern man’s chief neuroses is the impulse to sanitize absolutely everything no matter the consequence. Don’t care, didn’t ask, it’s perfectly safe to drink.

Praise God, she’ll return before the end. What’s more concerning is her implication that her parents aren’t on his side. Many such cases, unfortunately.
Trads have done nothing for converting people to Catholic faith btw, missionary work has been done by "Novus Ordo heretics" on the internet. All trads are capable of is larping on twitter and crying about what Pope Francis does.
The only true civilizing force in the cosmos is the Church. Without its precepts and God’s graces we would all be barbarians, whether we invented the wheel or not.

It's possible; though I don't know of any beyond the Roman Girl discovered in the 15th C.-and we don't even know who she was/if she was Christian.
It seems to be a pious medieval fraud that simply got carried away and redefined to save-face over the years.
Proud that my hometown will now call it Indigenous Peoples Day, instead of Columbus Day. Mankato is the site of the mass execution of 38 Dakota in 1862. This is an important move:
There's a phenomenon on TikTok among blue collar workers where they're constantly trying to one up another to see who wastes away the most of their life on drudgery. It's a disordered, slavish mentality to live to work rather than work to live.
@catholicspaceem
He believes incorruption is a medieval deception. Idk why he's particularly faithless as to the incorruption of the saints that the Church itself proclaims. You can say it's too early to determine that she's actually incorrupt, but the evidence seems plentiful to me.
I just finished reading Orthodox Veneration of the Mother of God by St. John Maximovich. Less than 100 pages & easy to read in an afternoon.
I recommend reading it as one of the best refutations I’ve seen of the Latin dogma of the Immaculate Conception.
The more you interact with Boomer/Gen X people the more you realize the pride is the capital vice of their generation. If you so much as say in passing that you’re working more than 40 hours a week they’ll tell you all about the lengths they went to neglect their family.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses.
These protesters belong in jail.
Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period.
Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.
The priest doesn't offer the readings to us, he offers them to God. This understanding was, of course, entirely lost as the Mass became more anthropocentric and culminated in the new mass, which is intentionally ambiguous about what is actually being offered to God.
@traddingtonbear
@MatthewJRoth
Why are you using mid-20th century liturgical movement practices? I thought you wanted to celebrate the Mass unchanged since at least Trent. redoing the readings in the vernacular is a practice that was extremely rare 100+ years ago. That good reform is part of what led to having
Au contraire, the other flood myths of pagan civilizations are imperfect retellings of the true flood account in Genesis. Only non-Christians could posit otherwise.
A wise man is warned about a divine flood that will destroy the world, so he builds a boat for his family and all the animals. They survive and humanity starts again.
This is NOT the story of Noah's Ark.
It's the Akkadian story of Atrahasis, written 1,000 years before Genesis.
If you're a white collar wagie you have no excuse to not dress in a dignifying way. Even if your office has no dress code and very low standards of presentation, how you dress affects how you perceive yourself and how others perceive you. Dress with modesty and respect.
In our day, men are encouraged to dress in humiliating and debasing ways because to dress without self-respect makes you weaker in image and self-conception. It makes you lesser. The era itself wants you to feel smaller.
We can reject all of it.
We can choose something higher.
What did you think “build the wall, deport them all” meant? Vibes? Essays? The “sojourner” is going to ravage the countryside because of fools like you who cower from action when they see what such slogans actually entail.
I’m as far-right and anti-open borders as they come & yet, because I am a Christian, I cannot cheer as migrants are run over in open water. Nations have a right to defend their borders, but that right is tempered by a true love for the alien sojourner.
Calvin does not know God.
Pray for his conversion. Though he made a lot of great points about technology, remember the reason why he is dying in prison and not in his cabin in the woods.
I'm starting to understand why the SSPX is the only true traditional Catholic society of priests. The FSSP/ ICKSP and especially your diocesan priests celebrating the TLM will not diagnose the crisis as the SSPX has and they won't make the same prescriptions.

Lynch: “We have a police officer in distress, & nobody helps him. Is this the city we want? Has this become normal? It has to stop. We need your help. We need your help on the street, & we need your help to force our reckless elec. officials to do their job.”
Reminder that Thucydides explicitly argued that the Iliad actually happened, albeit without Homer’s poetic embellishments. Denying the historicity of the Trojan War is Reddit.
Apparently our Lord was wrong and a house divided against itself can in fact stand in the case of Padre Pio. Claiming prelest and demons is the MO of orthodox when faced with supernatural proof of the Catholic faith (schism!).
@TheNigerianTrad
This kind of false ecumenism presupposes that Muslims are as indifferent to false religions as we are, which is very revealing on Dolan’s part.
STRONGER MENS CONFERENCE 2024 was one for the books! What an incredible weekend - God moved in powerful ways and thousands of men were impacted! 🙌
We can’t wait for SMC25!
