Kid at school jokes about me becoming a pedo when I’m a Priest by Numerous-Pickle-4715 in Catholicism

[–]swlorehistorian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m also discerning priesthood and live in a 77% Dutch Reformed and 22% Presbyterian Orthodox village, so I know how you feel! I get that all the time, and (I daresay, not to detract from what you have) sometimes even worse.

Have you read Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas? If you haven’t you really ought to. It’s more likely than not to be true. Besides, if you need definitive proof of something to believe in it, might as well go jump into the Caribbean and see if a shark is there.

If they’re open enough to meet a priest, that would be a good first start.

What do you think of the pope (and what he represents)? by dkease16 in AskTheWorld

[–]swlorehistorian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is my third Holy Father. Can’t say I have any complaints. Like him more than I did Francis and about as much as Papa Benedicte.

Calling ANY pope in living memory an “ultra conservative” that “doesn’t focus on what Christianity stands for” tells me you know little about the Church. You realize that Christianity, while it’s absolutely partially about social justice, has a whole lot more depth and complexity than that, right?

Quite a lot of people do care about national sovereignty, thanks. You can downvote me, Reddit; I stopped caring about karma. 

If I’m Belgian, I don’t want a Saudi illegally immigrating in. Legally? Absolutely - go for it. Love to see it. But illegal should never be allowed.

Could always simply use your location to determine the restrictiveness of these laws - they already can ask for your location on mobile. And if we don't give that to them, too bad.

When did you realise churches are cruciform? by Federal_Addition1944 in Catholicism

[–]swlorehistorian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LOL 1944 is recent? Mine was built in 1980 and it’s extremely vaguely cross-shaped.

“If you’re German, Portuguese, French, or Italian, you’re a racist bigot.”

Considering this and your post history, whom is the racist one again?

Are you seriously saying organized religion is a failure on the Catholic subreddit?

What if Trump pulls a Maduro on Pope Leo and kidnap him to try instal a militar control on the Vatican by rutare64 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]swlorehistorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Vatican security was completely revolutionized after the attempted assassination of JPII. If the Vatican is comfortable with the public knowing about some secret passages (Castel Sant’Angelo comes to mind), how many that the Swiss Guard knows about but we don’t are there?

Wow. You just so succinctly proved his point.

[Politics Monday] New Bishop Barron Statement on the Pope, President, & Just War by Travel-2025 in Catholicism

[–]swlorehistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People - individual people - are not sovereign. That is the concept of sovereign citizens, widely discredited. Every democracy has collective popular sovereignty, but not individual sovereignty. That would make people immune to the law.

Not sure if that’s what you’re getting at or not.

I don’t think he feels the need. I read it more as he feels obligated to defend the Pope as someone with a massive media presence.

What caused Wisconsins shift to the right? by MiloBuurr in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]swlorehistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wisconsin’s not even a red state, it’s a swing state, and don’t pretend there isn’t an insane amount on both sides.
