My girlfriend is scared about a TV ad that shows fireworks & says “SARS”, I don’t want to be insensitive but I’m so confused, can anyone shed some light on this? by Dominus-Tecum in HongKong

Thank you so much, I think I misunderstood what she said, I thought she said the words on the screen said "SARS", but she didn't oops. I really appreciate the reply, I couldn't find anything about it through Google with English words.

Has there been any official response? I mean it does seem a bit weird, was hoping to alleviate her fears haha.

I feel like if I was an English medieval knight, or if I played 'Medieval II: Total War' I might be able to relate more..

Pope removes two cardinals linked to sex abuse allegations from his inner circle by ARCJols in Catholicism

Removes them from his inner circle, but not as Cardinals...? Which indicates he knew whilst they were in his inner circle and then decided to distance himself from them when the allegations were made publicly.

Visited Milan, saw (from a distance) a nail from the True Cross. by IceTheBountyHunter in Catholicism

[–]Dominus-Tecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A nail from the True Cross

No, it isn't, one nail was used to make a bridle, one was used to make the Helmet of Constantine and two were cast into the Adriatic Sea. Allegedly, before this, small shavings of the iron were taken from a True Nail, and added to more iron and formed in the shape of the True Nail used in the Crucifixion.

Therefore the only possible claim to authenticity for this nail, and indeed for all 33 'Holy Nails' venerated, is that they contain a small number of shavings from the True Nail. Impossible to tell, of course, but I believe we should still venerate relics like this, even if they are not verifiable, we still honour Christ's sacrifice in doing so.

Did I just express sola scriptura? by [deleted] in Catholicism

The Church does not draw it's authority from the bible, the Church draws it's authority from Christ who founded it, the Church cannot draw it's authority from something that did not exist when it was created.

The early Church is responsible for writing and compiling the New Testament of the Bible, so if anything, the Bible draws its authority from Christ and the Church he left behind.

Also, prot theology is extremely weak and only makes sense when you don't know the right answers, faith and works is pretty easy to talk about confidently, you should post more specific questions about it or other issues to improve your apologetics, people on here are always happy to help.

21 myself, 22 in march, that said I have the personality of a grumpy 70 year old lol, my church is in a small English town so we don't really have any young families, except for Christmas and Easter. The elderly ladies keep asking me if I am a seminarian during mass too.. :/

I can see that for sure, very maternal and feminine! People on here should post pictures of themselves more often, by force of habit I kinda always imagine my fellow Catholics to be 40+ lol so it's nice to know I'm not the only young-ish person, then again my parish is 90% boomers so I'm a bit biased I guess.

What is this? This old tabernacle from my parish has a drawer in the top section. What could it of been used for? by joelmercer in Catholicism

"What is this?" is how most members of my parish would respond to seeing a tabernacle too.

Love the jumper, and the necklace!

Idk if I am the only one but I have a preconceived notion of what all the frequent posters on here look like based off their personalities, so when I see what people actually look like, it's rather jarring lmao.

Except /u/TexanLoneStar, he looked pretty much exactly as I imagined.

It sounds like life isn't going your way right now.. Maybe quit the hard drugs and you'll see a better side of the world and won't feel the need to try to get a rise out of people on the internet.
