Moral theologian, kinda like the opposite of Bergoglio.

[Captain Walker]

You're making a serious accusation; it's unfounded as well. (Theologically, it's completely off base.)

The sin of despair is committed when loses hope of salvation; it has absolutely nothing to do with an observation one makes of a temporal situation he or she faces. (There were many martyrs who faced their deaths with the full knowledge that their obstinacy in clinging to the Faith would cost them their lives; nobody would have considered these men or women to be guilty of the sin of despair.)

If a country could undergo a change of government through a coup, then there is little reason to expect that the beneficiaries of this coup would ever feel so inclined to alter the mechanics of the third-world voting process that could allow such a coup to take place. It's not desperate to point this out; it's merely an observation.

And while we may hope that we can turn around such a situation in the next four years, the hope that we refer to here is merely a temporal hope; it has nothing to do with the theological virtue of hope that you refer to (which, of course, pertains to the hope of our own salvation). The survival of the Republic of the United States has absolutely nothing to do with the state of the Bride of Christ, which stands on its own with the protection of the Holy Spirit.

And while many Catholics in the country have adopted the Protestant view that there must be something divine about the American Experiment, we know that this is simply not the case; a country that could allow the murder of more than 60 million of its most vulnerable citizens over a period of almost fifty years is as weighed down by original sin as any other.

I don’t lack faith and hope overall, but I do lack faith and hope that our imminent travails will be remedied by voting.

[ebb tide]

I didn’t say anything about voting (the system is crooked); but praying the rosary won’t hurt.

Whom have I accused?

[DuncanWaring]

I do that every day.

[ebb tide]

You're preaching to the choir.

As far as "hope", I recommend you read up on the Battle of Lepanto.

[Hulka]

Yeah, but I can dream.

[rarestia]

I’ve strayed from my mother church for far too long. This bishop’s homily has reignited my faith. If more American bishops spoke like this, I feel we’d see more butts in the pews. Time for me to hit the kneelers again.

[Captain Walker]

I'm well aware of the Battle of Lepanto; I've called people's attention here on this site to this fight as well as to Jan Sobieski's arrival at Vienna in 1683 on the very day the Ottomans launched their final assault on the city.

(Have you looked even once at my tagline?)

We cannot get through a Biden regime. They intend to persecute Whites and Christians or send us to camps.

The US is now a Third World Communist Hellhole. No more voting or freedom.

All because Conservatives sat on their asses and refused to stand up to antifa or blm. The worthless GOP happily allowed Pedo Joe, China and Italy to steal this election.

I am filled with such violent hatred that scares me. I’m even questioning if God even exists. If God exists then why do evil people ALWAYS win and prosper and good people lose? Why did God allow the Genocide of so many Armenians? The Turks have never paid for the Armenian Genocide.

Screw Xiden, Heels Up Harris, China, Italy, the Demonrats and the treacherous, spineless Republicans.

At least we will never have to worry about voting ever again.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

I’m in the process of converting to Catholicism.I love Catholicism, but I despise Bergoglio.

I consider Benedict the true Pope.

Is that traitor McConell standing behind Biden and Bergoglio?

Those pics say it all. Disgraceful.

The SoS of Georgia is a mandarin spewing agent of the chicom rulers who now have America as a client state to be sucked dry of food and fuel. The criminal Raffens Fuehrer will only aid and abet the sedition.

The attempt to make God just in the eyes of sinful men will always lead to error.

Besides holding a majority in the Senate. This is also intended to deal with the media which is promoting Trump is lying about election fraud

>> “We have a dark four years coming as a Church, and we need to get ready,” said Father Jeffrey Kirby, a moral theologian and philosopher who is pastor of Our Lady of Grace Parish in Lancaster, South Carolina, in a Dec. 29 homily. Before warning how a Biden administration will affect Christians, Fr. Kirby chastised members of his own parish for voting for a leader who calls himself Catholic while supporting abortion among other evils. “Some of you, I know, voted for someone who is now going to suffer (hurt) and persecute the Church for the next four years. That on top of the fact that he supports the utter slaughter of the unborn,” he said. “What have you done? What have you done to your Church,” Fr. Kirby cried out with a loud voice. <<

I think we just found the PERFECT candidate to replace insane black liberation marxist "Father" Pflakey in Chicago!

>> Harris is the biggest anti-Catholic bigot in all of Washington. Beware if you are a member of the Knights of Columbus. She thinks you are evil. <<

Funny, I've met many on "our side" who are far worse. They think by merely being a member of the Catholic Church, it means you've never read the bible and worship the Virgin Mary as a goddess.
