Whomst up? It's time we delve into the hard questions fellas

Interested to hear your takes lads

howdy

I tend to think of life as a crucible and God as a smith providing cleansing fire. Every single thing that happens happens for an innumerably greater reason that the human mind cannot begin to fathom. Somethings he does are simplistic, and some he does are almost extra dimensional in their reasoning. Everything has a purpose, a place, and a time. Inevitably every event which befalls man is to further purge undesirable aspects from our spirit and soul. Life, and subsequently, evil, is akin to slag, it must be purged and separated by fire.

There is an unbelievable amount of theology dedicated to this very question. This is simply my understanding of a portion of it.

@Polybius

Whomst wrote that @Thomas

I like it

Oh that was just me.

But I’m fairly sure Thomas Aquinas puts it better than I can.

@Polybius

I hope nobody takes offense to anything I post from this book, I'm not posting as an endorsement or to be incendiary just genuinely interested.

Oh I understand completely.

But yea, @Thomas they showed the cosmological argument from Aquinas and it was very interesting

I'd like to read that book Nick recommended on him

Folks sometimes get defensive when I say that to be traditionally Catholic and traditionally American is a contrarian idea.

An Even Shorter Summa

At first glance I don't see why it would be

Because to truly, and really be Catholic, is to regard all that isn’t, all that goes against doctrine, as a heresy to be purged.

And they aren’t wrong in this.

America allows and even promotes multiple heresies going all the way back to its founding.

So, therefore to be an American traditionalist, is to be contrary to being a true Catholic traditionalist.

That makes sense and is pretty much what I thought you meant by it

I meant I didn't see why it would be a contrarian position

Oh no, I originally meant that being the two things in tandem with each other is contrarian.

Lol sorry I'm tired, I knew what you meant I just put it wrong I guess

Understandable. No need for any apology.

I meant I understood that the two ideas were at odds and didn't see why holding *that* idea would be contrarian

I can send you a pdf of it if you want big guy @Nicholas J Fuentes

this is ultimately how the infiltrators were able to pull off Vatican II

crazy times we live in

Socrates deserved to die

Possibly a hot take?

What is this Socrates nigga talking about

Euthyphro seems like a smol brain

Socrates is just tossing him around

So he was just shitposting?

That's all socrates does in Euthyphro. He uses irony and just questions Euthyphro without giving his own opinion.

We gotta learn Latin fellas
