Sounds like someone is off his meds.

I’m a male btw And here I thought trolls were non-binary. Learn something new everyday. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am fairly positive He lives on the planet where He lived out His mortality- just as Jesus will reside here.

Because scientists in general have immense scholarly pride and are very slow to adopt new ideas. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ad populum.

The caricature is that we are literally going to have our own planet in which we dwell, separate from all other Gods- not that we will be participants in creating worlds (which we have never denied, and are what the quotes you have cited teach). Those from this earth who inherit exaltation will dwell on this planet with others who have inherited exaltation from this planet. We won't each go our separate directions and dwell on our own planets.

If I am remembering correctly and understanding Stine correctly- anyone under 16 is not culpable and wouldn't fall under the excommunication.

I had the exact same questions! Whereas we have membership records that travel with us, and we are assigned to the congregation for our geographical area- Catholics seem a bit more "open borders" (so to speak) about where to go to church. How would they track who's been going where?

Stine estimated the attached laity at between 700k - Million

I would need to relisten, but I think it has to do with the blanket excommunication of everyone associated with the SSPX. Stine defends SSPX but does not regularly attend there. He might be a more FSSP (?) guy.

So Stine is wrong that the punishment against the SSPX is harsher then the punishment against the Orthodox?

From the same chapter... "26... I said concerning faith—that it was not a perfect knowledge—even so it is with my words. Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge. 27 But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words. 28 Now, we will compare the word unto a seed..."

I would ask if you've been reading Alma 32. "33...if a seed groweth it is good, but if it groweth not, behold it is not good, therefore it is cast away. 33 And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good. 34 And now, behold, is your knowledge perfect? Yea, your knowledge is perfect in that thing, and your faith is dormant; and this because you know, for ye know that the word hath swelled your souls, and ye also know that it hath sprouted up, that your understanding doth begin to be enlightened, and your mind doth begin to expand."

(YouTube probably thinks I am trad Catholic now! 😄) I have another one (or more)... RTT and Preconciliar Radio have made the point several times that not even the Orthodox received as harsh a punishment when y'all split back in the day (1052?) 1) How would you justify to those observing the harshness of punishment of the SSPX (who acknowledge Rome and pray for the current Pope in their liturgy) compared to the Orthodox (who are pretty much the OG sedevacanists)? 2) How would you answer their argument that Cardinal Tucho Fernandez is unqualified, as a heretic, to issue this excommunication due to his previous statement that all men are saved (a view we LDS can appreciate)? 3) Is this excommunication further evidence that liberals (who say they preach love and tolerance) are just as, or more, dogmatic and unyielding in forcing their worldview on others as they accuse conservatives of being?

We like Catholics- you're cool with us. Now Calvinists.... 😬

I was unaware that I sustained the Church PR Dept.

And instead of pulling it from the Facebook page, it has been followed up with a post clearly designed to make people feel guilty for pushing back against the Pono post.

To our Catholic friends: Do you believe that today's excommunication of the entire SSPX, including the attached laity, was warranted? Do you believe the attached laity will confirm to Rome to avoid the penalty or stand with SSPX? Could this become the biggest crisis since the Protestant Reformation?

If he wants one- it shows their is still a spark if faith, no matter how faint, somewhere. Don't quench it complete by refusing to bless him.

West Coast time of USA- swing shift 3:30-11:30 finally (I did over a year of graveyard 😴)

I'm trying to be well thought out in what I produce, not just slop for views like is happening everywhere. "Prompt a bunch of cheesy mediation music and stich it together and wallah!" 🙄

I am very upfront that I don't make the music itself, just "collaborate" with Suno. I respect the hard work actual musicians have put into their craft.

I watch enough "Return to Tradition" to sound like I kind of know what I am talking about. 🤣 I will need to reread your post to pick up on all you are saying, right now I'm preparing for work. But briefly.. He mentions Cannon Law 4 (?)(sorry) that states they can ordain if they sincerely feel the Church is in a state of emergency- whether they are correct or not in their sincere feelings. Could you speak to why/why not he is incorrect in his interpretation?

Are you going to tell them that it is the traditionalist dioceses and orders that are experiencing the most growth and ordaining the most new clerics? How does that fit with you implication that they are just stuck in the past while the modern church looks to a brighter tomorrow?
