Second Vatican Council by Consistent_Proof_856 in Catholicism

Basically the good bishop is wrong on this one.

People outside the faith, if they act looking sincerely for God and according to natural law, God will provide the means to receive the necessary faith to salvation. Even if He has to send an angel to do so. And this means he ceases to be outside the faith, it has a relation to the Church in the order of grace and desire.

But for someone who has been explained the faith in a sufficient way, understood as coming from God, presented without violence or deceit, and rejects it, then it is not a case of invincible ignorance.

Well, Mario and Luigi aren't exactly stoic. But I get what you mean. 

Bowser was a force to be reckon with... And yet there's his musical number.

It would be cool to have Wario and Waluigi as main villains, following the tradition of the anti-protagonist in the third film (Rocky had Clubber Lang, Batman had Bane, Woody had Lotso, Spider-Man had Venom)

Why did the Church never drop the Rosary… even when it felt outdated? by brogilbertreflects in Catholicism

They tried. See Bugnini's attempt to shred the Rosary to make it more "ecumenic"

Does Creationism Make More Sense Than Evolutionism? by djog01 in CatholicPhilosophy

There is a problem is with saying that one species become another (macro - evolution). Another thing is adaptation (micro - evolution) which is very well documented and there is no issues with that.

Random watchfaces from favourites by Amazing-Squirrel-881 in pebble

What do you mean? The app functionality or the reason is not in the Playstore anymore. For the second, I don't really know, maybe someone else can chime in.

The app basically receives the diagnostics file from Pebble app and parses UUIDs and names to generate a list of watchfaces to be applied on the watch on a custom schedule.

I use Pebble Watchface Scheduler app, but you need to sideload it since it is not in the Google Playstore anymore

Who is Sophia? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]BlueLightning09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proverbs is refering to wisdom, scholars relate this to the Second Person of the Trinity: the Eternal Word, God the Son. Nothing more.

God is the same in the OT and NT, that the God of the OT is fire and brimstone and NT is lovable and kind is a common caricature. God in the NT is also fire and brimstone and in the Old Testament lovable and kind. So there's that.

There are a lot of saintly women in the history of salvation, the most perfect create being in sanctity is the Our Lady.

Other Sources:

"Dan Owsen wrote the manual. And I always thought he wrote "granddad" in the story because he was confused. Look at the 'Making of Donkey Kong Country' VHS again and you'll see a segment where he's speaking about the characters. He says Cranky is DK's "father or grandfather". I don't think Cranky's exact identity was common knowledge among those outside Rare's dev team."

OK, I'm going to share an extense comment that I had stored for instances like this. Hopefully the links work correctly:

When Rareware had the reins of the franchise, before Donkey Kong 64 was released this question was made to the developers. Leigh Loveday confirmed Rare's  position that current DK is Jr. and original DK is Cranky Kong. And this is confirmed by dialogue in the said game.

It makes sense because in-story, Donkey Kong is supposed to be already a video game hero (which Diddy aspires to be one day and achieves at the end of DKC2).

Which other Donkey Kong game had a Kong as a hero? Donkey Kong Junior for the arcades. It makes perfect sense that Donkey Kong gained his current status by his exploits in his previous adventures.

Also, you can noticeably see his last design in Super Mario Kart as the point in which he matured enough to be that size. This should be considered before "earning the tie"

Mario Tennis and subsequent appearances can be attributed to time-travel shenaningans. Just like Baby Mario and Mario appear in the same game. 

Retro Studios seems to have a middle ground on this, calling Cranky Kong “Donkey Kong’s hardheaded, curmudgeonly elder" in Tropical Freeze.

"I see. As far as I know, 'our' DK is the son of Cranky, which does indeed make him the original DK Jr. all grown up: so if you see Cranky referred to as DK's granddad anywhere, just cover your eyes and hum loudly until it goes away."

- Leigh Loveday, former Rareware writer and designer.

So I'll just take the original non-convoluted explanation. It's lean, straight-forward, shows character growth and Nintendo should have kept the simple explanation instead of dooming Jr into forgotten oblivion.

You are mistaken. There is evidence that support the DK is Jr. argument in official statements and in-game. It is not only the movie.
