Happy Holy Week!

Or is that just made up new age stuff

I just finished the kerygmatic phase and on Monday I gotta decide whether I wanna continue in the Way. Any thoughts on them?

Not sure why the YT images stopped loading. Inlike this channels thumbnails.

I don't agree with everything in this video, particularly about the denominations objection, but it's otherwise a pretty good apologetics scattershot of atheist objections.

Obviously any single objection would require more than a 10 minute meme video to really explain.

God Does not Need Your Help to Save Souls - Leave the Church

Jesus already took away the sins of the world. It’s already done. The churches need you to believe otherwise, so they can keep having power over your consciences and your wallets. The lying preachers threaten you with hell. What they don’t tell you is that hell is an age of ages, and you’re living in it! The way out is to trust in Jesus. This world is the grave. It is the hell of scripture. It is the lake of fire and brimstone. Right now, many of you are weeping, wailing, and gnashing your teeth, being tormented with the beast and the false prophet in the flames.

Jesus said, “Every man shall be salted by fire.” Here “salted” means saved. You are in that fire. But you don’t need to burn. Just trust in the completed work of Jesus Christ, and don’t put your hope in anything else. Reject the works of religion which draw us away from focusing on God the Father. Love one another as Jesus has loved us. Everything else is a false hope, a drug, a lie, to keep men in bondage to this world.

Posting this as we commemorate the feast of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Orthodox church who were murdered and tortured by the atheist, communist regime of the Soviet Union. Over 30,000 have been glorified. Holy New Martyrs of Russia pray for us.

Found on FB:

­«I-know-all anti-Catholic: "Christmas? But Christmas, like Easter, like all your other holidays were pagan celebrations! Don't tell me you don't know?"

As I am about to upload the historical-philological broadside on the original authenticity of Christmas, I pause for a moment, reasoning. No, not this time.

I take a breath and...

Me: "That's right. We got them all. And if you keep complaining, we'll also take Spring Break, OktoberFest and the Furniture Show."

I.k.a.a.c: "Ahah! Then you admit it... Wait, what?"

Me: "You got it, smartass. We're a bit rusty, but you said it yourself: for centuries we appropriated all that barbaric junk and turned it into traditions thousands of years old and beyond, shaping Western civilization on the necropolises of antiquity. Not one has been saved, not one that has survived Christian reinterpretation: Romans, Greeks, Germans, Celts, Slavs... It's all our stuff. And those would slaughter us in the arena or eviscerate our evangelizers! You people slaves of consumerism complaining on Threads think you're a challenge?"

I.k.a.a.c: "But what do you think..."

Me: "We're already the main promoters of that environmentalist Earth Day trinket, it would take us two seconds to move our Day for the Care and Custody of Creation from September to April. Wanna bet?"

I.k.a.a.c: "You can't...."

Me: "Too late, my friend, you lost Black Friday, we are already making selections for the Saint Donor who will supplant it."

I.k.a.a.c: "But what..."

Me: "Oh, yeah. And say goodbye to Pride Month, we're already re-organizing Corpus Christi month, with permanent Eucharistic adoration of reparation from rainbow things. Oh, and your mother has given her availability for the general secretariat!"

I.k.a.a.c: "Leave my mother alone..."

Me: "And listen, do you like Shark Week? We just need a companion devotion to the Assumption, and we've left Stella Maris on hold for a while."

Yes, in my opinion we should start doing that again.»
