A Sunday reflection ping.
Fascinating, thanks for posting.
an awesome catholic gift to the world from God....
Thank you
Very interesting. This is good walk “with seven-league boots” through a rich tapestry of material. It’s interesting also to note the increased interest in the state of the present dominant worldviews of our times. I suspect many more will read this post than will comment on its substance. It’s jaw-dropping for many to realize how wide-spread the present state-religion actually is, how it can be compared to a damp thick fog, one that can’t be kept out of one’s own house.
Very interesting, I was unaware of the images in the eyes. Thanks for the ping.
This thread is fascinating.
Thank you!!!

Idiots and liberals never see the hand of God.

I loved the deadpan response the bishop (?) gave to Hillary.
“God...”
The truth of which is lost on her.
There are those who also believe the woman represents the Church. The problem with your view, however, is that Israel did not bear witness to Jesus as the Son of God. Remember that the Apocalypse (or Book of Revelation) is apocalyptic literature unique to the first century. Thus, it is full of symbolism which has multiple meanings. Therefore, it is common for one symbol to represent more than one thing. The woman clothed with the sun is the Virgin Mary, and so the verse should be principally interpreted as such. This is demonstrated by Rev. 12:17, where the devil goes to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who bear testimony to Jesus. This makes Mary the mother of all Christians.
Since Mary is the mother of the Church, we can say that the woman, on a secondary level, represents the Church, which is the New Israel. This is why John writes about her pangs of travail, which are symbolic for those who are being formed in the Church of Jesus Christ. So, this literature provides us multiple meanings, but there is generally a principal meaning and a secondary meaning; in this case, the woman is the Blessed Virgin Mary, the same "woman" who God said would crush the head of the serpent in Gen. 3:15. Because she is such a danger to satan, satan tried to kill her even after the Savior was born (Rev. 12:13).
Judiasm and Christianity changed that.
With the advent of Materialism,scientism, et al..The culture has returned to it's default “religious practices” all the while denying God.
"Who painted it?" Clinton asked.
"God," the rector replied.
"You have a marvelous virgin," Clinton tells Mexicans
I forgot about that second bit of idiocy.
