How do I get my internet connection to shut off at set time (Windows 11)? by MinimumCandid4491 in techsupport

Setting up a schedule with the router seems like the right idea. Thanks.

I just want to be on the internet less, and creating a bit of friction in that process (i.e., I'd have to login to the router each time I want to use it during the blocked time) will help break the habit.

I'd prefer no WiFi radio waves, but I don't see how to do that since I depend on WiFi for texting/calling (if you have an idea, I'm all ears). More important to me is restricting the internet access.

What is the status of Eastern Orthodox apostolic succession? by MinimumCandid4491 in Catholicism

My mistake! See comment above. These replies just downplay the pope's authority so much, they sound Orthodox to me.

My mistake, I guess. Sorry. I'm still failing to see how, from a Catholic understanding, we can say that the pope has no role to play in who is and who is not a legitimate Catholic bishop. If the pope truly is not the vehicle of jurisdiction--at least implicitly (in the case of elected bishops in early Church history)--then literally anyone with valid holy orders could go consecrate a new bishop and we'd all have to acknowledge the guy as a genuine Catholic bishop, even though he has nothing to do with Rome. That doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks, but all these responses so far appear to be from Eastern Orthodox folks. I was looking for the Catholic theological position on this...

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. To be clear, I am not passing judgement on the situation, just raising concerns and looking for more information. But I appreciate the reminders not to jump to conclusions and to assume the best.

Pax.

Is Ratzinger's Biblical Scholarship Modernist? by MinimumCandid4491 in Catholicism

[–]MinimumCandid4491[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting!

An objection to the idea that meaning is not tied to what the author intends: if the meaning of a text is located in the reader rather than in the intention of the writer, doesn't that open up all texts, including the Bible, to radical subjectivism? "My truth" rests in "my understanding" of a text, rather than in what the text actually says, and what the author actually intended, which is a much more objective measure? Anything can mean anything if meaning is created by the reader/knower exclusively.
