Fascism rises like that of an eagle with its wings splayed open, and with the courage of the lion in consumes all within its wake.

Unfortunately there are poorly Catechized Catholics but thankfully I can help you and others who didn’t know. The complete and definitive theological teaching of the Catholic Church regarding whether Christ Himself consumed the Eucharistic meal at the Last Supper relies on the highest theological synthesis approved by the Vatican, primarily formulated by Saint Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae (Tetria Pars, Question 81) and supported by Church Fathers. Firstly, the patristic witness. The position that Christ consumed the Eucharist is rooted in several writings by several of the Church Fathers: Saint Jerome in his Letter to Heibia (Ep. 120) explicitly provides the classic formula adopted by the Church, Jerome writes “The Lots Jesus Christ, Himself the guest and banquet, is both the partsker and what is eaten” Saint Ephrem the Syrian in his Treatises 12:6 vividly writes of the event of the Last Supper stating “He ate of His own body and drank of His own blood, while He was pondering on the dead. With His own hands the Lord presented His own body to be eaten…” Saint John Chrysostoms Homily 82 on Matthew notes to remove fear from His disciples when they heard the radical command of “eat my flesh” Jesus drank of the cup Himself to demonstrate that it was a holy and life giving action. Saint Aquinas notes in Q. 81, A. 4 that if the Eucharist had been reserved or consecrated during the days Jesus was in the tomb (Holy Saturday), the bread would have contained only His dead Body and the wine only His Blood, because His soul was truly separated from His body at that time. But at the Last Supper, His body, blood, soul, and divinity were fully unified and consumed as one living reality. Saint Aquinas defends the mainstream teaching using three core theological assertions: The Law of the Lawgiver - Christ was the first to fulfill the commands He bound upon others. Just as He submitted to Baptism to sanctify the waters before commanding others to be baptized, He partook of the Eucharist to consecrate its reception before commanding: "Do this in remembrance of me." The Nature of Sacrament - Christ received the Eucharist sacramentally but not to gain grace (since He already possessed the fullness of grace and divinity). Instead, He received it for spiritual delectation, experiencing the spiritual sweetness and joy of fulfilling the Old Covenant Passover types. Perfect Communion - The head must share the same food as the members. By eating His own Body, Christ perfectly tied Himself to the mystical communion of the Church He was establishing that night.

Dear Priest, don't forget your discipline. You are meant to be celibate, not give an F 🖕

So far this morning I’ve seen Prots on calling Mary: ❌ A Pagan Goddess ❌ The whore of Babylon ❌ Not the Mother of God ❌ Just a vessel But go on, tell me how your side feels about her. Talk about a tired schtick…

Something like this, right?

You were waiting for a sign that He cares. He is holding His chest open.

Good night!

Calling all DFW Orthodox: Who would like to join me on the public sidewalk outside his parish to hold Icons of the All-Holy Theotokos and praying for the salvation of the souls of his congregation?

In the end, Christ wins.

A quick reminder about the anti Catholic accounts you may be spending your time arguing with

You mean like how you guys assume the rapture, even though that term doesn't even exist in the bible?
