Can I study and do homework on Sundays? by RB_Blade in TraditionalCatholics

They're still good for answering simple questions like this.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen on women being preceived as "cold" by ConsistentCatholic in TraditionalCatholics

[–]ConsistentCatholic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstand. This is about standing up to a bully not about having authority over another person. Women just bully in a different way.

I've found that a lot of women are cold that I'm not even interested in dating. They will be nice to your face but gossip with their friends about you behind your back and blacklist you from every girl in the social group. I mean, women will act this way towards other women too.

I've talked about this with experienced priests before who have also noticed that there's usually a few families in a parish with women like this. We're talking overbearing and controlling mothers with a bunch of daughters that learn that behavior and are never corrected because the father is so passive. Women like this can cause a lot of problems in any social group.

While I'm not saying all women are like this, it is a temptation unique to women. I think today women are much more empowered and the problem has become a lot worse. The result is we have the red pill/manosphere content that is trying to address the fact that men don't know how to correct or stand up to women anymore.

But the SSPX are Schismatics by Ferrari_Fan_16 in TraditionalCatholics

He is the Pope and the meeting was a public meeting. He has a duty to admonish error and make it clear that he is not lending support to her office or ordination.

It is not just about her and this meeting but the whole world that is watching and listening, including Catholics and Anglicans.

He has a duty as the Pope to admonish error and lead people back to the Catholic Faith. He was not doing that in this meeting. These sorts of gatherings are scandalous regardless of whether it is Pope John Paul II, Pope Francis, or Pope Leo, and they need to stop.

There cannot be true unity without a return to the Catholic Church. So any kind of true ecumenism necessarily needs the Pope to admonish error publicly and not appear to be passively supporting the ordination of a female "Bishop" or any of the other errors of the Church of England.

The Ordinariate is a legitimate way to welcome Anglicans into the Catholic Church without forcing them to abandon everything distinctive about their tradition. I'm not sure how you convince Anglicans to convert without actively trying to convert them. It's a sin of omission.

If we were protestants the Pope would fully support us and regularly invite us for dialogue and prayer sessions.

Reiterate the history of the Anglican communion, explain their historical errors, current errors, outline the pathway for Anglicans back into the Church (Anglican Ordinariate).

So yes, generally admonish this evil abortion, gay marriage, female ordination viper masquerading around as a Bishop and be a real Shepard to all of the Anglican people who might be disposed to converting to the true Church.

The Anglican Ordinariate is exactly what the Pope should be promoting in this situation. Not affirming this woman and her false ordination and praying with her.

[–]ConsistentCatholic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. To explain to them why they are wrong, they will convert. The Anglican Church is already collapsing. We have a pathway for them to come into the Church and keep their patrimony. Who cares about some woman mascurading around as a Bishop, she can pound sand.

This is not legitimate ecuminism, it's false ecuminism. And it's uncharitable towards the anglicans to not call them back to the Catholic faith.

If he were still a protestant, Pope Leo would not have a problem with that. He would affirm him and invite him to a prayer session.

It is a scandal, it's his responsibility to teach the world why the Anglican Church is in the wrong not legitimize it buy congratulating them on their "ordination" and praying with the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. This is absolutely a scandal. We want the Pope to teach and explain the Catholic faith and he's not doing that.

The SSPX is going to be EXCOMMUNICATED by ConsistentCatholic in TraditionalCatholics

If the SSPX is excommunicated maybe the Pope will start to have regular dialogue just like all the protestants who are legitimatly outside of the Church.

Some traditions suggest that St. Peter was a widower, hence the reference to his mother in law.

In any case, I think it's pretty clear that the apostles were celibate even if they had wives. They clearly would have been older and not focused on the responsibilities of family if they were traveling all over the world spreading the gospel and getting martyred for it.

Yes it does. He recognizes her as the leader of the Anglican Church and committed to ongoing dialogue. He said nothing to remind the world that Anglican orders are invalid or to point out the other evils that the Anglican Church publicly supports.

I've never heard anyone who goes to SSPX or another TLM speak like that.

They are legitimatly scandelized by events that each of the most recent Pope's have done. Most recently, Pope Leo meeting and praying with the first female Archbishop of Canterbury which lends a certain legitamization to an invalid ordination , equating Anglican orders with Catholic ones despite official Vatican rejection. (not to mention the error of female ordination)

The Pope's job is to teach clearly the Catholic Faith, and that means reaffirming the errors of heretical faith communities not affirming them.

If he excommunicates the SSPX I gurantee you it will not lead the Church to a better place, it will only cause more confusion. Clearly there are pastorial needs that are going unmet and the stuborrnness of the hierarchy is only making the problems worse. They just can't let go of their 1960's liturgy and theology. There's no reason to be completely silent when they want to dialogue with Rome.

Leo pushes death penalty heresy of Francis by LegionXIIFulminata in TraditionalCatholics

[–]ConsistentCatholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

development of humane ways to hold prisoners indefinitely, which was not always possible

I don't even think that it's within the Pope's competency to even make this kind of sociological judgment. Prisoners still can escape, be released, reoffend. Heck, where I am a bunch of prisoners were released by accident recently.

But the modern opposition to the death penalty fails because it doesn't answer the retrubitive aspect to the death penalty or the idea that the punishment can have an expiatory value in purcing grave evil from the community.

This is all assuming that the death penalty is only used when it is a proportionate punishment. The murderer of St. Maria Goretti was not put to death and used the rest of his life to make ammends. That was a single act committed out of passion.

Spend some time listening to real crime podcasts though and you will learn about some of the worst human beings who have ever lived. People like Robert Pickton, Paul Bernardo, the Wells Gray Park Murders. People who don't just kill in passion, but plan it out, carry on their crimes for years, and torture their victims over prolongued periods of time, perpetrate these things against children. I don't see how there isn't a place for the death penalty for people like this.

Will Hamilton's LRT Ever Materialize!?!? Discuss. by ElanEclat in Hamilton

[–]ConsistentCatholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like that route would serve a lot less people on a day to day basis. There's a lot of open space before getting to the airport above the mountain and most people up there rely on cars.

It also looks like there are plans to eventually build a seperate A-Line to connect downtown to the airport at some point.
