Beat around the bush. Me? With you? If you reject Jesus Christ in the Eucharist you are on “Team Judas.” Properly disposed Catholics receive Our Lord’s Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist at the Mass. You cannot reject this and claim to be “Christian.” Set forth below are Scriptural and Patristic citations that prove the point. (1) Christ teaches it in John 6 “The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?  Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.  For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.  This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.” (2) Christ teaches it in Mark 14 “And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body.  23 And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.  24 And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many.” (3) Christ teaches it in Luke 22 “19 And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.  20 In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.” (4) Christ teaches it in Matthew 26 “26 And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body.  27 And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.  28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.” (5) Saint Paul taught it in 1 Corinthians 10 “16 The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?  17 For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.” (6) Saint Paul taught it in 1 Corinthians 11  “26 For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.  27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.  28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.  29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.” (7) Saint John of Patmos taught it in 1 John 5 “6 This is the one who came through water and blood,[b] Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth. 7 So there are three that testify, 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord.” (8) Saint Ignatius of Antioch (Letter to the Smyrnaeans) “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God.   . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes”

Josiah, arguably the most righteous king in Judah's history, banned child sacrifice by royal decree. Within a generation of his death it was back. The decree changed the law. It never touched the people. piped.video/XVcflN02Rxk

Anyone who is seeking baptism but dies first is considered "baptized" by desire. Protestants think the thief on the cross is some challenge for Catholic teaching when it is perfectly consistent with it.

If a pastor climbs a ladder during his sermon, or enters church driving a Rolls Royce, or dresses up in a costume, he is entertaining before he is preaching. "Preach the word" (2 Timothy 4:2).

😳 @KristanHawkins claims abolitionists have no intention of saving babies, and that they “want more babies to go to heaven via abortion, to be killed directly, than to let them be born.” 🎥 @KristanHawkins

It’s “Apocalypse” and it was written by our Apostle Saint John the Revelator. And if you are referring to Chapter 5, Verse 8, it shows that Saints are alive, intercede for us with prayer, and that these Intercessory Prayers go to Our Lord.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Mike, suppose a convicted child rapist and murderer genuinely repents and trusts in Christ the night before his execution. You agree he’s genuinely justified and forgiven before God at that moment. Should the state still execute him the next morning? If yes, then complete forgiveness before God does not necessarily remove the temporal punishment due for an already-forgiven sin. Correct?

As the 1st Hindu State Senator in Ohio history, I’m excited to celebrate October as Hindu Heritage Month! I was honored to be able to pass this into law, making Ohio the only state in the nation with this in permanent law. Hindus in Ohio are an integral part of the fabric of our beautiful state! READ:
