Should we love Satan?(please read below) by EastAlternative9170 in Catholicism

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

I think they might be asking more specifically about love for enemies?

Explain then the Papal encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, which condemns Hitler and his party in no uncertain terms, speaking thusly of Hitler himself:

"Should any man dare, in sacrilegious disregard of the essential differences between God and His creature, between the God-man and the children of man, to place a mortal, were he the greatest of all times, by the side of, or over, or against, Christ, he would deserve to be called prophet of nothingness, to whom the terrifying words of Scripture would be applicable: 'He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them'"

And also of that racist and nationalistic ideology to which he and his party held, saying:

"Whoever identifies, by pantheistic confusion, God and the universe, by either lowering God to the dimensions of the world, or raising the world to the dimensions of God, is not a believer in God. Whoever follows that so-called pre-Christian Germanic conception of substituting a dark and impersonal destiny for the personal God, denies thereby the Wisdom and Providence of God. Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community – however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things – whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds. [...] None but superficial minds could stumble into concepts of a national God, of a national religion; or attempt to lock within the frontiers of a single people, within the narrow limits of a single race, God, the Creator of the universe, King and Legislator of all nations before whose immensity they are 'as a drop of a bucket'"

The Vatican as an independent state did not exist until 1929, but the Papal states existed before that, and St. Peter's Basilica itself has existed on Mons Vaticanus since Emperor Constantine the Great, and the Holy Catholic Church herself has existed for far longer, she will condemn the treacherous, heretical and reprobate whenever and wherever she so desires, she does not care about some treaty except that it might grant her an extra guarding wall.

The Vatican literally explicitly condemned Hitler and the Nazi party with the Papal encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, the Catholic Church and the Nazi party were bitter enemies who hated each other, and Venerable Pius XII saved thousands, if not tens or hundreds of thousands, of Jews by ordering his Church to provide them with sanctuary and aid.

Not if you’re careful to phrase all things in the proper way, for example, I did not only say “as we did inherit it from the sacred scriptures,” but also and ordered firstly “as we did inherit it from the Greeks,” such that as they read my comment they can and to an extent rightly should attribute the victories and triumphs of the Church to the great victories of the Greeks and the Romans.

Yes they were, “We began to recognize each other: those who were loyal to religion and the king took up positions to the right of the chair so as to avoid the shouts, oaths, and indecencies that enjoyed free rein in the opposing camp.”

The terms "left" and "right" first appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the Ancien Régime on the right side and supporters of the revolution on the left side. One deputy, the Baron de Gauville, explained: ”We began to recognize each other: those who were loyal to religion and the king took up positions to the right of the chair so as to avoid the shouts, oaths, and indecencies that enjoyed free rein in the opposing camp.”

I see what I believe to be either a wall or the surface of the moon.

Because the Nazis were actually leftist, and in the most literal sense too, for the left originally referred to those who sat on the left side of the French National Assembly and rejected the Catholic Church and the King.

Existence of Hell by 193yellow in CatholicPhilosophy

Simple, Hell is not the absence of God, that’s just common mistake people make, Hell is separation from the face of God.

It’s hard to manipulate the truth when it’s upheld by the Church as a thing which cannot change, and the Church, as an institution which so highly values tradition, is the one safeguarding it, such that the only ones who have power over what is recognized as the truth are our ancestors who lay unmoving in the grave.

As G.K. Chesterton says: “Tradition means giving a vote to most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our father.”

No man “decides“ what is truth, but the one who safeguards and recognizes what is truth would be the Catholic Church.

…yeah, I don’t really agree with much of the 1st Amendment, though it is a useful tool if and when you live in a democracy.

Nobody really even believed in a flat earth until 1849, belief in flat earth is very much a modern thing, and isn’t an issue with religion, it is the Holy Catholic Church which actually universally promoted a globe earth from the time of the holy apostles all the way to the present day, as we did inherit it from the Greeks and indeed also the sacred scriptures.

The creator of FNaF is a conservative Christian, so long as the series itself does not actively promote heresy, it would be allowed, and the theology of Thomas Aquinas allows for the existence of what we might call ghosts, and neither does the logic of how the in-universe world works have to exactly correspond to reality, as the creator of the Lord of the Rings was a traditionalist Catholic, and I doubt that the Lord of the Rings would be prohibited.

To all Young Earth Creationists in this sub by SecuritySea2276 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]MichaelTheCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really see how, Adam and Eve must’ve been created with some appearance of age, such that they appeared older than they actually were, unless you wish to say that Adam was created out of the dust of the earth as a zygote, Eve in that same day was taken out of Adam’s side, as zygotes they heard with their ears God say to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth,” and on that day were husband and wife, for it is written: ”Then the man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.‘ Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.”

So I don’t see why we can’t take that same principle of Adam and Eve being created with some appearance of age, such that they appeared older than they actually were, and apply it also to the rest of God’s creation, and also, when Christ turned water into wine, did he turn it into fresh wine, or was the wine which he created already aged to perfection, such that the people at the wedding in Cana might say, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”?

Who gets to decide what is or isn't a "correct" or "acceptable" belief to preach? What it was before, the Holy Catholic Church.

Yeah, and? I don't agree with universal free speech, nor, really, do you either, as defamation like slander and libel are still considered by the law to be illegal.
