Hey man.

Rather ironic, isn’t it? You make a post about how ((((they)))) control everything and (((someone))) takes it down.

Good news, @everyone, I copped a 3 day Zucc this morning for stating that Moustache Man approves of you joining the forums. The fact remains, however, that if you haven't joined us at https://forum.legiochristi.com yet, then you need a shower, you stinky nose boi.

You can start one, Marius, and then link it on FB.

That way we can start directing traffic towards the forums and away from Faceberg.

Did you consider rectifying that?

The main issue with modern Catholics is an intellectual arrogance that they couple with a complete ignorance of their faith and a loyalty bordering on idolatry of the Pope. They have no hesitation in condemning Hitler but make any criticism of Pope St. John Paul II or Pope Francis and they go mental without stopping to consider what you said.

You know where you can say the N-word with impunity? https://forum.legiochristi.com

John Dave is live on Legio Christi's YouTube now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k5-NxL5vLI

Anyone else like this style?

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

It's for Catholics to chat together and talk about how bad the prots are.

My favourite part of the Orthodox is when they convert to Catholicism.

No clue, but my favourite part about them is when they convert to Catholicism.

@Deleted User, my condolences!

Pretty big fan of the “Salve Regina” and “Sub Tuum Praesidium”.

Practise what you preach more than you preach it and don't set out talking to someone with the intent to directly convert them so much as the intent to indirectly convert them (I.E., show them the path to the Truth and help keep them there).

Hey Ironclad! How's it going?

Could all of you please keep Fr. Nicholas Rynne in your prayers? He is engaged in the battle to save the Church in Tasmania and has maybe 4 other clergymen on that whole island for support.

Anyone here play OpenMW MP (Morrowind mutliplayer mod)?

MFW I drink just enough to trigger my RLS and make myself less likely to sleep than I already was. I’m an utter spastic, change my mind..

I am resigned to the fact that this is a life-long condition for me, so I take Gabapentin to lessen the severity of it and ask God to help me through each day. I don’t really eat all that much trash, I think a bit more exercise would be better, but most of my energies are currently going towards getting a job or a pre-app.

Jon Dave is live now, get around it, y'all.

Could you please keep my cousin Candice Langshaw in your prayers? She died last night after a 20+ year battle with Wilson's Disease and having been in an induced coma (effectively) since October last year.

Would you all please keep Fr. N. Rynne in your prayers? He has been found guilty of trying to bring Catholics in Tasmania to Heaven and the Archbishop has removed him from his post.

Guilty of telling Catholics that you have to be Catholic to get to Heaven. He's also been found guilty of saying the Latin Mass and offering it to God.

Pretty horrendous crimes, eh?

Better:

If you want to find a text version of it, jump over to the Legio Christi Forums, I typed it up and posted it to the discussions section.

As for him being moved on, it’s a cowardly, scummy, prick of a thing to do. I’m appalled.

Archbishop Porteous and Bishop Elliott are supposedly supporters of the traditional movement, but I guess it’s only so long as the money is right (I’ve seen Bishop Elliott give support to big parishes with a high collection every week while ignoring parishes with a large, youthful, thriving community of poor, hardworking families.)

Also, don’t be fobbed off by their provision of masses comment: Fr. Mark Freeman has been sent in. Fr. Freeman wears a pea-green suit and says that any sexual act is an act of love, thereby making it pleasing to God.
Pity my 70 y/o grandmother, who can’t go to NO Masses and whose only other option is a 2hr drive to Sassafras (yes, that is a place) once a month (at most) for an SSPX Mass, but what with her age and a 30 y/o daughter with Downes Syndrome, that’s highly problematic for her.
Once again, the cucks up top step aside and hold the camera for the raping of the Faithful.

Sorry to ruin your week, man. Can I recommend “Batman: Arkham Knight”? It’s helped me get rid of some of the violent anger I’ve felt at times. I’d suggest using a controller rather than your keyboard and mouse to control the game.

Nerve of the bishops kowtowing to ‘em.

I wrote an email to Archbishop Porteous, but I don’t know how to contact Bishop Elliott, and as he’s no longer in a position of authority over appointments and positions, it wasn’t really worth it.

The important thing is to be civil but clear. Refer to your addressee correctly, state clearly what you want to say, but probably don’t tell him he’s “acting like a commie piece of shit”. Be diplomatic about it.
Also, don’t raise the issue of the physical assault on Fr. Rynne as the crux of your argument. Although it did happen, it was not a factor in Bishop Elliott’s visitation because to involve could have had legal repercussions.

It is. There are two series that I would recommend: Latina Christiana is a good course for homeschooling, but the Henle Latin series is good both for homeschooling or for teaching yourself. It’s got a good balance of reading, translating, and declining/conjugation, and I was able to learn from it practically on my own.

I’d also recommend getting something like the first Harry Potter book translated into Latin. I know, I know, “muh Harry Potter, muh sorcery”, but it gives you something to translate and it has a fairly good use of modern grammatical standards.

It’s also cheap, which was a big thing for me.

I know some Latin, but I need to practise more.

You’ll probably also find an improvement in your native language as well, which is reason enough to learn a second language, as far as I’m concerned.

No wockas.

It's a Borderlands game: characterised by immature and inappropriate humour and geared towards edgy stoner-teens.

That said, I'll probably end up owning it when it's released on Steam.

@Mister Bomb, while I think of it (something I forgot to mention): when collecting resources to learn Latin, make sure you grab a good Latin-English (or whatever your primary language is) dictionary. I like Cassel's dictionary, but there are other options available.

Could you all please pray that I don't have to do jury duty on Wednesday? I've no problem performing the duties per se, my issue is that I'm booked in for my driver's test next week and can't afford to reschedule it (because reasons).

Cori Bernardi and the Australian Conservative Party are our best hope, then some of the smaller parties (Australian Country party may run for a federal seat again, they're a safe option). Other than that, the Democratic Labor Party (bunch of infighting Christians), the Australian Christian Lobby, Australia First, One Nation, and some of the independents. The main thing is to look at their buddies: a vote for the Greens is a vote for Labor (and vice versa), and a vote for the Nationals is a vote for Liberals.

As far as I am aware, none of them are going to do anything too radical, but Bernardi may tighten border security. My main issue is that they often hedge on the Jewish question and they may well backflip on religious freedoms.

Yeah.

You can try t o convert them, but you're better off asking your priest about it.

I've written a generic news-scoop for the latest Papal drama, any thoughts?

[Newsreader:]

This is a developing situation. His Holiness, Pope Francis I, has been accused by several high profile theologians of material heresy. [Screen cut, show panorama of St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City]. It was here where we first heard of this open letter. [Cut to inside of darkened room. Silhouetted figure speaks broken Italian, news-scroll reads "Unnamed Head of Catholic Church".]

[Subtitles narrated by (presumably) Hot Newsfemale:]

This letter that His Holiness has received goes against everything this papacy hates: judgement and calling out of public sinners. The authors probably hope to gain money or even earthly power for themselves in publishing it, and so I will refuse to answer it.

[Newsreader:]

We have reached out to the authors of the letter, but so far to no avail.
N. Reader, Generic News, Facebook.

That is the fattest numbat I've ever seen.

That normally comes through with the later report.

Talk about her. Rather, ask about her and let her answer.
Also, try to remember what she tells you.

NS?

As far as I am concerned, all forms of socialism are atheistic at their core. Simply because Capitalism and Communism are toted as the only options does not make it so. Both of them promote love of self and neighbour over love of God.

Render unto Caesar and unto God, but our duty to God comes first. Any regime that places Caesar above God is necessarily heretical.

You live in a society and have to work around it.

It's such a subjective situation that no-one can say for sure.

So there's a debate on Facebook in the group "Apostolic Christianity" about whether or not you are allowed to devise your own Rosary-type mysteries. Anyone have any thoughts and sources for either side of this claim? (Note, the claim is actually my own, but I vaguely remember reading or hearing that it was permissible.)

That's kind of the argument I employed (it's a private devotion and the mysteries weren't given by Our Lady, only what prayers to say) but as the people I'm debating with aren't accepting that, I was hoping for some sources I could use to back me up.

Pics or not true.

I prefer wooden rosaries for travel beads and coloured glass beads for my regular ones.

Your local piety stall ought to have scapulars for sale (assuming the US still has piety stalls at each Parish).

I found that the wooden ones are especially useful on pilgrimages because they can double as pace-counters. If you say some short prayer (even just part of one of the litanies) per pace and move bead per pace, you can keep track of how many paces you make and make your journey easier (combining the pace-counter concept of the soldiers of the world with the Deus Vult concept of the milites Christi.)

I'm not sure if I made it up or not, but I reasoned that if the military can have a pace-counter (e.g.: http://combatsportsupply.com/images/products/detail/pacecounter.1.jpg) and the Catholics can have wooden rosaries (e.g:http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/331700918224-0-1/s-l1000.jpg), then the two can be combined to form a prayer/pace counter for use on pilgrimages (e.g.: http://crex.org/wordpress/).

No, pace-counters are short strips of cord with 10-20 beads fitted so that they can slide freely. The idea is that if your pace-man takes 1 metre paces and moves a bead every 10 paces, then he will be able to provide a fairly accurate distance.

@GodFearingEnglishman, I've just seen your comment from earlier. I don't see any problem with listening to The Kinks.

The best 3hr. movie I've watched is "Lawrence of Arabia".

Haven't seen "Endgame" yet.

This is the first I've heard of it.

My parish is about to become priest-less for the foreseeable future (to be frank, it won't make much of a difference), but I don't think either of the two parishes I frequent have invested into that (it might not be available in Australia though).

The current PP has been in hospital for the last month or two, and although he isn't in danger of dying, the last I heard was that he will have both feet amputated because of diabetes. I should note here that he is a heretic (legitimate usage: he denies the virginity of Our Lady and the existence of angels), so I have never been to his Mass.

It'll be priest-less because of a shortage of priests willing to travel, it will be serviced by either Fr. Ashkar from Seymour (good egg but can't do much because of the Parish Council) or Lancefield's priest (I've heard good things about him but I haven't met him yet). Each of these parishes encompass three churches, all of them 20kms from each other, though, so it probably won't be a weekly Mass.

They keep talking about a priest shortage, but there's an Opus Dei parish 40kms from me with three (really good priests) and we had a Latin Mass at Tallarook for a while until Fr. Naughtin got his own parish and the TLM community priests decided that their comfort was more important than any faithful looking to get to Heaven.

The issue isn't a shortage of priests, it's an over-comforting of priests.

Fr. Naughtin would travel from Albury to Tallarook for a 10am Mass, go back up to Wangaratta for a Mass and round off the Sunday with yet another Mass.

From thence to Tallarook: off the charts good.

Thoughts on Elder Scrolls Online and Star Wars: The Old Republic, anyone?

ESO is quite good now, it took them a while to fix it though.

Yeah, I've noticed that there are fewer people playing it and there's not that much maintenance for it.

Whatever Disney didn't kill, EA certainly did.

Never watched Clone Wars or Rebels, but mainly because I don't really watch telly all that much.

If it's not a human until its first breath, then I can smash turtle and eagle eggs because they aren't turtles or eagles until they're born.

I've found that normally helps.

Until the egg has hatched, it is logically equivalent to the foetus, surely?

How do you define "feeling pain"? Is it the physical sensation of hurt or the mental response that decides when you have felt pain? Further, the pain felt by person A when he stubs his toe may be less than the pain person B feels, but does that mean that person A has not really felt pain? Thus, a foetus may feel less pain than us, but that does not mean that it feels no pain.

Secondly, how do you know that it has felt pain? It can make no sound that we can hear. If a tree falls in a forest and we see a video recording (no audio) of it, will it still die?

Thirdly, when is pain enough to warrant death? Where I live (Victoria, Australia) is about to roll out euthanasia. The main argument, as it was with abortion back in 2008, is "I don't want X to suffer". This raises the questions "When is someone suffering?", "How much suffering is too much suffering?", and "Who decides when someone is suffering?"

Australia's main problem is too few willing priests. We're a sizeable country.

On the topic of arguments, is the slippery-slope necessarily fallacious? My viewing of many allegedly slippery-slopes suggests that they are more akin to a poorly developed poly-epicheireme, which could make them valid.

That's too few, in practice, because of how spread out we are: it also works out to about one priest per 3 churches. With each church in the rural areas being at a minimum of 20kms apart, not everyone can get a weekly Mass, even fewer daily.

Yes and no: priests don't want to travel either. If we went down to 1 priest per parish and enforced his shepherding role, we have seen that it makes a difference (there a a few TLM priests who are always on the go). As it is, most city parishes have 3 or more priests and they will not travel to say a Mass somewhere else.

Another question: are we too quick to go to the defensive? The British and Australians hold that the burden of proof falls on the prosecution and thus you are innocent until proven guilty. Should it not be the duty of the pro-aborts et al. to fully disprove all the claims raised by pro-lifers? I've noticed that most public pro-life outlets seem to defend themselves and their position every time there's a debate.

I don't know if Catholics will be allowed to practise their Faith in public once the boomers are gone. We need to start prepping catacombs again.

I just don't think it'll be as easy as that. Based on what we're seeing, we'll be going back underground soon (remind me to tell you the practise I have developed of avoiding "fellow Catholics" at some point, btw.)

TBF, I'm probably more likely to be classed as a conservative than I am a trad.

If abortion is a right, then the killing of that which lacks humanity must be a right since abortion only finds its rightness insofar as it is the killing of a non-human.

If everything is relative, how can there be such a thing as "Good" or "Evil"? Such things necessitate the existence of an absolute metric of goodness or evilness.

I mean, if you're really exceptionally talented at something, you should show it to the world!
