Like a Soviet-era dictator, and in a raw exercise of power without provision of law, Pope Francis has removed Bp. Joseph Strickland as bishop of Tyler, TX. pic.twitter.com/4ISOUhYSCn

i don't fully understand what's going on here but a lot of people are angry. There seem to be a few different types of comments:

Type 1: Strickland is a sede

Type II: Why didn't Francis fire the Germans?

Type III: Strickland is based and redpilled

Type IV: Something something Trump

All in all I recommend reading through all this.

The trads are going to lose their minds over this.

Greetings all. I have but one question - was Jesus decayed when he arose after the third day. He was not in a freezer. The body was kept in a tomb, and while they may have been able to preserve his flesh with oils, his organs would have started decaying. My research tells me by day 3 his organs would be useless.

As soon as breathing and blood circulation ceases, decomposition begins. An acidic environment is created which begins to rupture and destroy cells. Internal organs begin to decompose and muscles begin to stiffen after three to six hours. Muscles stiffen to their peak at about 12 hours. At this point blisters appear on internal organs an on the skin, sometimes providing a sheen on the skin. By three days, internal organs have decomposed.

When Jesus was resurrected, he still had holes in his hands (and feet? How did he walk?) so we know his body wasn't repaired. So what's going on here? The Jesus they saw would look entirely dead and decomposed if he had returned to the same body that had been sitting in a tomb for 3 days.

Fellow !christians - how do you view your use of rDrama?

During a recent sermon my pastor quoted some verses and they seem to directly attack :"grumblerss" and malcontents (dramatards).

Jude 1:16 (ESV)

These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage

Philippians 4:8 (ESV)

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Proverbs 4:23 (ESV)

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

This is the most notable verse however:

Titus 3:10-11

As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

!catholics

Aw yeah it's that day of the week again !catholics !christians let's rock.

A seminarian spoke at my Mass today. He's an alumn of my school and talked about his long and difficult journey to discerning his vocation. It was a long, sad story.

First Reading

Thus says the LORD:

"You shall not molest or oppress an alien,

for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.

You shall not wrong any widow or orphan.

If ever you wrong them and they cry out to me,

I will surely hear their cry.

My wrath will flare up, and I will kill you with the sword;

then your own wives will be widows, and your children orphans.

"If you lend money to one of your poor neighbors among my people,

you shall not act like an extortioner toward him

by demanding interest from him.

If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge,

you shall return it to him before sunset;

for this cloak of his is the only covering he has for his body.

What else has he to sleep in?

If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate."

-Exodus 22:20-26

Second Reading

Brothers and sisters:

You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord,

receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit,

so that you became a model for all the believers

in Macedonia and in Achaia.

For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth

not only in Macedonia and in Achaia,

but in every place your faith in God has gone forth,

so that we have no need to say anything.

For they themselves openly declare about us

what sort of reception we had among you,

and how you turned to God from idols

to serve the living and true God

and to await his Son from heaven,

whom he raised from the dead,

Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.

-1 Thessalonians 1:5c-10

Gospel

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,

they gathered together, and one of them,

a scholar of the law tested him by asking,

"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"

He said to him,

"You shall love the Lord, your God,

with all your heart,

with all your soul,

and with all your mind.

This is the greatest and the first commandment.

The second is like it:

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

-Matthew 22:34-40

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Today's readings are about the greatest commandments discussed in the Gospel. The Old Testament shows that this has been established previously: "You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt." It also says not to charge interest on loan, which really makes me nootice. The epistle demonstrates that by following the two greatest commandments, you will inspires others to do likewise. Now, people will often point towards "you shall love your neighbor as yourself" and use it to justify whatever it is that they do. "Jesus said to love each other so you shouldn't criticize my degenerate lifestyle." I, for one, would hope that if I was making terrible mistakes, and destroying myself, that my peers would guide me back to the correct path. The loving thing to do is not always supportive.
