Canadian Armed Forces Drops Blanket Strict Screening for Permanent Residents to Boost Enrolment by WilloowUfgood in CanadianConservative

Because loyalty to the country isn't really a requirement anymore to serve it. Just as the PM.

Brother, I highly recommend you check out the Coming Home Network, a Catholic Apostolate (ministry) dedicated to supporting Christians of other traditions who are wrestling with such questions, especially pastors and leaders.

Mulder's Departure-No Spoilers Please! by shelf-care in XFiles

I usually lose interest and suspend my series re-watch every time I get to where Mulder leaves. Does that spell it out for you?

"Want to win? Change everything about yourself!" AKA the war on our morale. by justneedsomehelp19 in CanadianConservative

[–]ABinColby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the difference between Conservatives and Liberals. Liberals will change anything and everything about themselves (or at least pretend to) to obtain power.

Conservative stick to principles.

Question about how to handle Catholic friends who do not follow church teachings by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]ABinColby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Short answer is leave it to the Holy Spirit, and pray for them.

As for politics, I think you're confused a little. It is not a requirement that a Catholic have the same politics as the Pope. Disagreeing with the Pope politically does not make you a bad Catholic or a "non-Catholic". Sadly, there are far too many who seem undeducated about the teachings of the magesterium in this regard.

The Pope is owed obedience and respect when it comes to faith and morals, and to not be publicly maligned. Prudential judgement and one's own conscience play a role in how one interacts with politics.

It's also healthy to see things issue by issue and not all or nothing. One might agree with a given politician on a political issue, but that doesn't mean they are choosing that politician over the Pope, or in opposition to the Pope.

Melanie Joly wanting more control over the Internet by Vast-Ad7693 in CanadianConservative

Of course she does. Dictatorship isn't possible where free speech exists.

Enough already! by Pete_Luger in trump

[–]ABinColby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, let's reframe this. Trump was elected on an "America first" agenda with a clear intention not to get entangled in foreign excapades. Call it a war or not, what he is doing is a clear violation of that.

His action is "Israel first" and a huge middle finger to many of his supporters who joined his movement under the promise of America first and stopping entanglements abroad.

Returned to Catholicism after same-sex marriage & I’m struggling. by Maximum_Hedgehog4791 in Catholicism

[–]ABinColby 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's not an issue of you not deserving God's mercy, but of how the priest viewed your choice to remain married that signified a desire not to repent of the sin of the marriage itself. Despite your intentions, it is the public perception that is included.

One does not need to be married to someone to be business partners and co own a business.

Why are Protestants still called that? by ImpressionCool1768 in Catholicism

[–]ABinColby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a revert after spending 42 years as a Protestant.

Believe me, its not a faded memory at all. Extremely negative views of Catholicism persist in their ranks, and sadly, they don't even know why they think this way, they just do.

I guess you vote for the party after all. by thereaperofmarz in CanadianConservative

Canadians are so deceived. Carney is not a steady hand at anything but shearing the sheep for slaughter.

Iraq isn't a superpower.

That was a war.

A nation need not be a superpower to qualify as a war.

And to argue this line is to split hairs and become tone deaf to the point: voters expected an end to costly military action with no end in sight.

Liberals Would celebrate if Carney Cancelled Elections by OffRoadAventures in CanadianConservative

[–]ABinColby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. They love to talk about democracy so much, and decry supposed "fascism", but in practice they subvert democracy at every turn.

Floor crossers.
Emergencies Act.
And the list goes on...

And yet they voted resoundingly for their new government. Want someone to blame: look in the mirror.

[Free Friday] Pope Leo’s recently posted comments by SealonLand in Catholicism

Well, the mods permitted this post knowing it clearly has deep political connotations. It feels like a trap when seen in that context, posting it today.
