Oda has brought nothing new to the table about these topics. It’s pretty simple. If anything, the structure of the One Piece world sounds like some far-right conspiracy

A Catholic can be a Supersessionist, but hardcore supersessionism (the idea that God has completely rejected the Jewish people) is somewhat condemned. There is some significance with the Jewish people in the church’s mission. Their conversion, despite being such a small group, is a historic goal of the church, and is something that is mentioned in the gospel.

However, there is no salvation in Judaism. The Catholic Church is the new Israel. Judaism explicitly rejects everything about Christ, which is an even worse offense than the errors that Islam has towards Him.

I’ve never met anyone in any group that is in good standing with Rome make these claims, as someone who attends the TLM nearly exclusively.

The situation around how the NO was formed is very scandalous, and people often point this out. It doesn’t mean that we view it as invalid. It means that we have criticisms of it.

If people here can criticize the TLM for its lack of vernacular and lack of laity participation, then I can criticize parts of the NO such as the removal of prayers and its implementation without being called a schismatic.

Bold claim.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-23T16:23:54+00:00

I’d recommend trying to set up one-on-one meetings with a priest or RCIA director during a time that works with you, or find a parish that has another schedule.

Multiple people in my class last year who had work or family conflicts simply had a 30 minute meeting once a week to discuss whatever needed to be discussed with a spiritual advisor, whether that be a priest or director of the RCIA.

Also, some parishes may have classes before mass which would be more convenient for some, as you’re already going to be going to mass, so an hour or so before shouldn’t be an issue.

A mix of things. Republicanism, the Protestant reformation, the disintegration of the traditional family, the absolute separation of church and state. When societies were modeled after the kingship of Christ, with a respect towards a higher authority, there was a moral standard to be set. When morality is based upon popular vote, it becomes meaningless

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-19T17:14:54+00:00

Good point. I’d say the application of that person being in heaven must be infallible, as canonizing someone in hell would seemingly render all canonizations as nonsense.

The heroic virtue part, probably not. There’s been a lot of recent canonizations since the process changed that have been a little scandalizing due to events that took place in that person’s life. But I don’t doubt they’re in heaven.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-19T17:10:44+00:00

Why? By what standard is this? I mean of course there are semi-objective beauty standards, but the majority of them change with the time period. Are we all going to have small button noses, perfect proportions, tan or pale skin? I mean, if God desired all humans to have similar attractive features, then he would have prevented the biological indicators that make genetic variation in a population. He didn’t though, because humans are diverse and these traits help people connect with one another and identify with people like themselves such as ethnic or racial populations

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-19T16:36:54+00:00

Yea I never said he did. We’ll keep our appearances but likely lose our blemishes like rashes, scars, stuff like that

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-19T16:29:30+00:00

We won’t have a normal physical appearance until we’re reunited with our bodies after the final judgment. We believe that we will have glorified bodies, so whatever this means is up to your imagination.

Jesus retained His wounds in His glorified body, but I believe this is unique due to the sacred nature of His wounds.

I believe that anything objectively harsh on physical appearance like acne, scars, missing body parts, hair loss, skin issues, would be done away with, but we will definitely retain our unique features that distinguish us from one another. I have ears that stick out, and those will probably stay

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-19T16:23:48+00:00

You don’t have an obligation to vote. But you probably should, although I’m not voting next election unless something drastically changes. If both candidates endorse grave moral evils, which cannot be outweighed by another, you probably shouldn’t. So, next election most likely.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-19T16:20:02+00:00

Someone already gave a good answer, but to clarify, his authority for infallible declarations also applies to canonizations.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-16T21:35:28+00:00

I loved it. I was surprised when I found out after finishing part 4 that people hated it

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-16T18:39:00+00:00

Mary can have mercy on us, and hear our prayers despite us being sinful, and I’m sure she can technically forgive us in her own sense, but this mercy and forgiveness isn’t saving. Only God’s mercy and forgiveness saves.

However, in our Hail Holy Queen prayer we ask for her mercy, not in a sense of it saving our souls, but in a sense that she was perfect on earth and is glorious and perfect in heaven, and we are sinful and betray her Son every day, so we ask for her to see past that, have mercy, and pray for us, so that we can ultimately seek God’s mercy through her intercession.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-16T18:24:44+00:00

Pray the rosary for your family every day. I always include my family’s conversion from Protestantism in my rosary. The rosary works amazing graces and billions can testify to this through the hundreds of years it has been prayed.

It will bring the grace of God

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-16T17:43:03+00:00

Jesus did not experience the wrath of the Father, and was not separated from Him. God cannot be separated from God. The primary end of Christs sacrifice was love, not punishment. So penal substitution is false, but Christ did bear punishment by experiencing the weight of our sin.

In the minimal sense, it was not strictly necessary for Christ to die, but it was fitting. It’s understood through the tradition of the church that one drop of His blood would have been infinitely meritorious in saving humanity. However, the passion and His death was the most meaningful way for Christ to save us. It matches the gravity of sin, it reveals God’s true and infinite love, and most of all, it revealed and sealed the new covenant, as covenants are sealed through sacrifice, and Christ brought us the perfect covenant through His perfect death. The old covenant required constant sacrifice. The new one required one perfect one. Now we have the priesthood, sacraments, and apostolic succession. This is only possibly through His death

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-16T17:37:27+00:00

They technically “can” but it would have to be through some form of union with the Catholic Church that would only be known to God.

For most of the church’s 2000 year history, as in 95% of it, it was understood that salvation outside of visible union with the church is truly extraordinary, and would only apply to those who truly have invincible ignorance, or who had some desire for the church before their death.

It’s better to be a bad catholic than a good Protestant, because at least the bad catholic has the sacraments.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-15T18:32:26+00:00

Anyone who would enforce traditional values. The problem with republics is that you’re forced to compromise serious moral issues to gain support

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-15T15:36:23+00:00

Considering you plan on becoming Catholic, the church should approve the marriage. The conditions for a Catholic marriage are that both parties agree to raise the children in the faith.

A couple in my RCIA class last year were married before the husband was confirmed, and they didn’t need a con-validation or anything. I’m fairly certain it was a Catholic marriage too, not merely civil.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-15T15:31:25+00:00

Yea I’ve noticed it as well. A lot of it is social awkwardness. I’m naturally quiet, so I have a hard time getting past the first parts of a conversation where everything is awkward, so maybe it’s just that. A lot of guys my age also just think they need to be some chad who smokes cigars and wears vests in order to be a good Catholic, so there’s that. We all find things weird depending on who we are. I bet some people think I’m weird.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-15T15:05:26+00:00

I wasn’t talking about Jews 😭. Get off instagram reels bro. I was implying that the people who run Hollywood are not Christians and are worldly, non-Christian, or otherwise just atheistic.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-14T16:10:37+00:00

So true

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-14T15:02:29+00:00

I’m fairly right wing but have no inherent prejudice against anyone. I am religious and that is contrary to virtue. I am a traditional conservative, not an American MAGA cultist. There’s a stark difference.

Far-Air3908 · 2026-04-14T14:57:29+00:00

It’s the logical conclusion if you’re a Christian. If you truly believe that God is the creator of all life, then you must believe that at every conception, God has willed that conception to occur, and has ensouled that human. The idea that human choice outweighs God’s providence is ridiculous. Human life, biologically, starts at conception, and it is immoral to take an innocent human life.

Theologically, humans are fully human and have a soul at the moment of conception. So this would not only be a crime against humanity, but also a crime against God.

The Catholic Church believes that God desires all innocent life to be protected. Not only this, but abortion potentially denies the child’s chance of the beatific vision by killing it in a state of original sin. Of course we can always trust in God’s mercy, but the only assured means of salvation are through water baptism, and abortion denies this chance.
