"The chorus which features the words "ooh, ah, up the RA" was often seen as a pro-IRA stance, but according to its writer, Brian Warfield, these words were included in the balladic tradition of writing what is observed at the time."

Jacobitism 👌

Crap, it did

Should we start a group on mewe?

I'd say you could add me as a monarchist mod, but I've only been in rel since September 😕

Yes, please do not @ everyone unless you have something important to say.

what do you want to know?

Also, call em up and ask.

I have, but it's been a while

I used to live in ND

Anyway, good luck

Another Catholic here

Council of Florence > Council of Trent

Also, the Baltimore Catechism, whatever good it may be, was given to us by a Cardinal who was an Americanist, and is thus suspect

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Goodbye

I admittedly don't have one, but if it was compiled by an Americanist, then it stands to reason that it may be tainted by that heresy, not that it is worthless or not better than what most Catholics are taught today.

Also, really questioning Baptism of Desire or of Blood rn

I imagine most Catholics would do good by reading it. It's just that the Cardinal who published it was very much an Americanist

And part of that belief is that we should soften elements of the faith so that it's easier for others to accept (an extreme example of this today would be Fr. James Martin's softening of the Church's teaching on homosexuality so that it is easier to accept)

@Life's Illusion I'd take Charles Coulomb's advice here

Another server I was on just got nuked here on Discord. Remember to go onto the forum everybody

Orthodox brodies, concerning the theology of the Filioque (and not whether it should be included in the Nicean Creed) do you believe that it is theologically erroneous? If so, how do you square it with line 23 of the Athanasian Creed, which seems to indicate that the Holy Spirit does proceed from the Father and the Son? Either way, a blessed Sunday to everyone!

"The Holy Spirit is of the Father and of the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding."

How can I invest?

Ok, I thought I found the right album but it just sounded like gospel music

Is that all?

Do you say that God is in time if he is beyond it?

@Enryse what is it that you're asking for anyway? (the typos are fine btw )

@Enryse, well I'd like to know what your beliefs are so that I understand where you're coming from. Are you an agnostic, an atheist, a Jew?

Gotcha

Anything that we could define as god would need to be beyond the limits and bounds of the physical universe in order to be the creator of said universe.

That's what metaphysics, faith, and theology are for

@Enryse

@Enryse do you believe in the "burden of proof"?

That the burden of proof is on the one who makes a claim, and without sufficient proof we should not accept the claim

@Enryse so can we as human beings know things which we cannot prove scientifical? If yes, then metaphysics is a useful field of philosophy.

The question of the existence of God is a metaphysical question, of course

The Greek philosophers pondered these same questions long before any influence from the Abrahamic religion

Because creature means something that is created

Because not all knowledge comes from the senses

Right, and thus our epistemology is not dependent on our perceptions alone

Not by itself, no

I wouldn't say it's all default knowledge. A child might understand 2+2 = 4 but pi is a complete mystery to them. The point being that they need to grow and expand their knowledge and understanding of mathematics.

Right, but it isn't innate

And metaphysics is a formal science like mathematics

The question of the existence of God is a metaphysical one because there is not necessarily any empirical proof

@Enryse may I suggest that reading the philosophers who actually make the claim may be more beneficial than asking internet strangers?

Thomas Aquinas is one, Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange

Yeah, I think I'm more inclined to Scotism myself

Also, MacIntyre is good too

Yes, but you should read his arguments

Yep

Correct

Just use a password manager lmao

I use to use notepad too, but that's not as secure as a password manager. Unless you're encrypting it yourself

Now I use bitwarden, which is free, cloud-based and encrypted

What Daniil said

Plus it'll enter it for you

I get that. You can also get a pm that is stored locally

I think keypass is what I've heard is the best local one

Lmao

@MawLr

Pope: says abortion is wrong
Pope: holds diplomatic meeting
MawLr: WTF POPE IS HYPOCRITE
MawLr: POPE NEVER CONDEMNS ABORTION

Tell me, if he had come out and declared (what exactly?) would you think he was doing a great thing, or would he be "just doing his job"?

Lol

I'm not really a fan of Francis, but it's kinda retarded to get offended over shit like this. Obviously he sees more value in holding the meeting than refusing to meet with him, and you are assuming his motivation for doing so.

What does he need to do to prove he's against abortion *to you*

What's so bad about holding a diplomatic meeting that it proves Francis isn't against abortion?

No, I don't see it as a double standard, especially in international politics.

@Based Chav so what does Francis have to do to prove *to you* that he is against abortion?

@LuxCo I agree with you on all that

@Based Chav but there's a difference between criticism and complaining about every third thing he does. The whole hand slapping incident is the type of thing I'm talking about.

@MawLr really? Congrats than, but church politics will drive you mad if you pay this much attention

@Based Chav and you shouldn't have, but a lot of people freaked out because it was "emblematic of his attitude towards all Chinese Catholics" or some shit

@LuxCo perhaps

If it continues long

@MawLr yes, however that's something that happens all the time in diplomacy. The Papacy, above any other bishopric, has been a political animal for well over a thousand years, and that's not going to go away.

@Based Chav I agree with that

Yeah, of course that's a little different than meeting with said politicians.

"...installation of Pope Francis..."

How dare he not know American politics as intimately as Americans do
