I don’t understand how you can be good friends and coparent extremely well, but not make a marriage work out
Couple things: nobody cheated. We spent 7 years in therapy trying to make it work. We’re still good friends and coparent extremely well. I don’t regret those 10 years.

A calumny against a good man and holy priest. What Pater Edmund Waldstein defends is simply traditional teaching that Vatican II explicitly says it “leaves untouched.” What his persecutors are trying to insulate from criticism is their own personal theology, not Catholic doctrine

I agree 100%, but I wish pro-lifers would stop emphasizing cuteness and tender moments, because babies and children are not always attractive and dealing with them is not always pleasant. And murdering them is not one iota less wicked or deserving of condemnation in such cases.

The case for human WMDs and vigilantes having to register and operate under government sanction is so obvious and incontrovertible that every version of Civil War had to load the dice to make the debate seem like a hard one.

embarrassing, its a book for elementary school children
Have you ever read it??? It’s 100% not a children’s book and whoever says that is lying to you. Not only is the vernacular dated and elaborate but the sentence structure and lengthy writing is often hard to get your head around as an adult. Love that book! but it’s not for kids
Community note
The Hobbit is a children's fantasy novel; Tolkien wrote it as a "fairy-story for children" and stated it was "really meant... as a ‘children’s story’" in his letters, and it was nominated for the Carnegie Medal for children's books. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/1247…

For the claim that the Deuterocanon is used by Fathers to prove doctrines? 1 and 2 Clement, St Irenaeus, St Hippolytus, St Clement of Alexandria, St Cyprian of Carthage to name a few
I haven't seen any good argument for this claim. One person presented a quote from Athanasius, but it was just a single citation of Wisdom in a sea of citations of OT/NT. Meanwhile, he directly says he doesn't use it for doctrinal development.

This is not a serious criticism. The anathema’s of the 16th are not posthumous decrees against the Saints in Heaven, even those who may have, materially, held to what later was defined as heretical.

This is immediately disqualifying for any genuine discussion of myth and epic, only eclipsed by Mary Beard's faux pas that Homer did not exist.
Absolutely incredible to learn that there's apparently a whole bunch of folks on here who object to the notion that Achilles - son of Thetis the sea nymph, herself daughter of the sea god Nereus - is a fictional character.
Please no one tell them about the tooth fairy.

Every Canadian boy at 2 years old must me measured and if they are 3 ft 1 or taller must be given state funded goalie equipment and training. This situation is out of hand

If you lived in Jesus' time, it was wrong to eat pork. It's not now. So, commandments and thus sin can change.
Things like this are one of the biggest reasons I’m not Catholic. Not this in particular but the idea that sin/heresy is based on what time period of the church you lived in

Iberia was one of the wealthiest regions of Europe prior to the Umayyad conquest and "the Christians were primitive" is belied by the fact that the great cities of Toledo, Cordoba were built on a Roman-Visigothic foundation.
Also, frankly, for all of the cultural and intellectual accomplishments of Islamic Spain, those were in the rear view mirror by the time Almohad authority collapsed.
Thank God the Christian empires have been destroyed 🤣
Andalusia was better than all of Europe at the time, we conquered a wasteland and turned it into the jewel of empire for 600 years
To the extent that you put Muslim scholars as a priority, without them cities will collapse

The Scottish assisted suicide bill is defeated! 57 to 69. This is a great day for human dignity in Scotland but also everywhere in the world.
