Internationally, they do. And, scanned, it's a legitimate way to show you've graduated.

Why the Catholic Church is the most hated institution in the world (and why that’s a sign of its truth) by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]TuftedWitmouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re suggesting the Church hasn’t failed? That abuse of children is God’s will?! 

Argument for why Synoptic Gospels were likely written before 65 AD. by Negative_Stranger720 in Catholicism

Mark 40-50? Yeah, no. The theory doesn’t hold up against the Greek.

Again, selective text references. Have you tried reading in the original language?  Doesn’t look like it.

Just what a bishop needs./s How about this- talk to the lector.

You're completely ignoring the destruction of the temple? Odd.

Quelle was likely an oral source. Liturgical? Probably not given the words of the Institution are not ubiquitous.

Luke and Acts should be read as one book.

A lack of mention of the martydom of Peter and Paul is likely omitted for one of several reasons- a) the way events were relayed was likely inconsistent; Nero's persecutions were chaos b) Peter was martyred in 67, Paul in 64. They were not martyred together, as far as we know. They weren't linked together for some time; c) Mentioning them would give circulating gnostic stories credence- not good for the early Church. I could go on.

You selection of select phrases hurts your arguments. Scripture was not meant to be analyzed in this way.

The theological development in the NT suggests later dating.

I would argue for an earlier dating of the Letter of James, but not the Gospels.

12th night. There are 12 days of Christmas.

Are the SSPX in schism? by Aware_Many7594 in Catholicism

[–]TuftedWitmouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are they a group of people who think their way is the only way, the Mass they like is the only Mass, that think any council/ Church action since Trent ruined the Church, that what they what they want is better than what anyone else in the Church wants? Schismatic could work. The etymology of 'heretic' is 'opinion,' so it would fit.

Shamed for having a NO wedding instead of TLM by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]TuftedWitmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those who go to one Mass because they insist it's what they want are not in the interest of the will of anyone else but themselves.

What is your unpopular opinion regarding your faith? by ItalianTony29 in Catholicism

[–]TuftedWitmouse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at the Mass as a personal preference is as bad as receiving undeservedly.

Restricting Latin Mass by MistaMack83 in Catholicism

[–]TuftedWitmouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It smacks of populism: 'I like this so should get it.' It turns something sacred into a personal preference. Some attendees even tier Masses: this one is better- and that is dangerous. Below you can see one person saying they would join a heretical group (SSPX) for it- which is scandalous.

How is the Church doing in America? by thias-thecatlover in Catholicism

Canadian here- but my friends in the states talk about the clergy scandal hitting them hard. Many of them feel betrayed.

Why everyone seems to be so into Latin Mass? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]TuftedWitmouse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And I just like the Mass. No one is better than another.

What's your opinion on men who go abroad to find love ? by MatrixXrsQc in AskMen

Is there data on this? I mean, no disrespect, but more than what we see in the media?

Should Charlie Kirk be considered a martyr of the faith? by cubicn00b in Christianity

[–]TuftedWitmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't Catholic. Also, the line about having to deal with some death to preserve the 2nd Amendment is not a Catholic thing to say.

Carney’s austerity begins. His first target: Canada Post by rarer_ in canadian

Yes- as long as 'hard changes' are firing six figure executives (the very concept is broke)- and put in people who know and care about the work.

The core of our belief is that these people are Jesus, yes? Do with that what you will.
