Is that a hard "ch" like a /k/(Greek) chaos, the Germanic /tʃ/ chunky, or the French /ʃ/ machine?

Quote from: james03 on Today at 01:46:37 PMIt was noticeable before Vee Poo with L'affaire de (future saint) Feeney.
Fr. Feeney was an unbalanced man, and his theology reflected this lack of balance. He will never be canonized and his errors will be anathemized by a future Pope or Council.


He sure exposed and tried to warn Catholics of the slippery slope of cultural relativism taking root in the 1950's.

If one were to replace the words "Religious freedom" with "Abortion freedom", then the diabolic aspect of the document would be evident.
Quote2. This Vatican Council declares that the human person has a right to Abortion Freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that no one is to be forced to act (prevented from having an abortion) in a manner contrary to his own "pro-choice" beliefs, whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits.

The council further declares that the right to abortion freedom has its foundation in the very dignity of the human person as this dignity is known through the revealed word of God and by reason itself.(2) This right of the human person to abortion freedom is to be recognized in the constitutional law whereby society is governed and thus it is to become a civil right.

It is in accordance with their dignity as persons-that is, beings endowed with reason and free will and therefore privileged to bear personal responsibility-that all men should be at once impelled by nature and also bound by a moral obligation to seek the truth, especially religious truth. They are also bound to adhere to the truth, once it is known, and to order their whole lives in accord with the demands of truth. However, men cannot discharge these obligations in a manner in keeping with their own nature unless they enjoy immunity from external coercion as well as psychological freedom. Therefore the right to abortion freedom has its foundation not in the subjective disposition of the person, but in his very nature.
In consequence, the right to this immunity continues to exist even in those who do not live up to their obligation of seeking the truth and adhering to it and the exercise of this abortion right is not to be impeded, provided that just public order be observed.
So the Council bases the "right to religious freedom" in the very nature of man created by God, so that even God cannot command man to assent to His revelation, or worship Him in the way that He has prescribed. Therefore there is no human or divine sanction possible for those who do not submit to God's revelation.

Quote from: Stubborn on Today at 01:42:20 PMSo Michael, you say heretical popes are excommunicated, therefore not members of the Church. Cum ex does not limit the censure to only heretical popes as you do, rather, Cum ex includes absolutely everyone who ever deviated from the faith. Which is to say that if a pope who deviated from the faith is not a pope / is not a member, then neither are all the trad priests and bishops, and all trads who were *not* born and raised trads - and here you have to include *all* the trad faithful because Cum ex did, everyone ("Anysoever") who ever deviated and whoever will deviate from the faith. They're all excommunicated per Cum ex.
Stubb,
Of course, if someone falls into heresy, schism or apostasy, and remains in such a state, they are not Catholic, not a member of the Church and cannot hold office in the Church. But a person who repents from heresy and returns to the faith, can be absolved from all the penalties, and even hold office. This is what the Church also does for those born in heresy & Schism. The Church has the power to absolve all sins, censures, and penalties.

Looks like the $9 Billion in permanent DOGE cuts are being held up in the Senate.  We'll see what happens after Aug. 15.  If Trump puts in a bunch of cuts after Aug. 15, it's impossible to block them.  A quirk of the rescission legislation.

General News and Discussion / Re: Epstein Cover-up
Last post by james03 - Today at 02:00:02 PM
Roger Stone dropped that Steve Bannon was meeting with Epstein, and Musk just dropped Bannon is in the Epstein file.

QuoteBannon grew closer to Epstein in the summer of 2018, advising him on how to handle his myriad legal and media investigations. They continued to spend time with each other through the following summer, when Epstein was arrested in Manhattan on sex-trafficking charges. ....

Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, said Bannon was trying to help his brother "rehabilitate his reputation" after the Miami Herald in 2018 published a series of articles — which ultimately led to an indictment by federal prosecutors in Manhattan — about his sexual abuse of girls in Palm Beach.

As a disclaimer Bannon and Musk have a long standing feud and Bannon was pretty solid in opposing the Iran war.  It's still a possibility.  I knew that ZOG existed, but I never thought it was this powerful.  I think our entire government, except a handful, are fully owned.

There is a really big mom group on facebook that was started by a protestant lady that is for moms only and they choose a mom to gift each week. I think the Catholic one was inspired by that, but allows for nominations instead of random choosing. Regardless, if you feel led to share the link, please do. I am honored to have been selected.
