I answer yes

And what source would you cite?

http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/a5.html#irenaeus

Veneration of saints wasn’t because *there weren’t any at the time*

Irenaeus knew John the Apostle and also met I think James the Greater

Oh btw

Regardless of view

I think we can appreciate this

inb4 “muh female minister of communion”

muh female minister of communion

It’s an angel, fuck off

You wouldn't happen to have something that documents Irenaeus and John's relations would you?

OOF, I'm sorry, no, Irenaeus was Polycarp's student and *Polycarp* knew John

http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0103311.htm

He mentions that in these two

Oh Spy

So

I have a study bible coming in the mail today 😎

Thank you

Silly Phil, Catholics don't read the *Bible*!!!

JK, that's great! 😃

I was torn between didache and ignatius

The Didache isn't that long tbh

Neither is my understanding of scripture Yeet

If I ever get another, ignatius or Navarre is what imma do

<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question 🔖

- What is your view on purgatory? What happens immediately after our death?

After death, you are judged (your *particular judgement*) and most of those destined for Heaven will be purged.

Wdym by the second half of that sentence

I don't believe in purgatory

If you're destroyed for heaven... That means the end result of u in heaven

@GHOST aye me neither

Purged of their sins, that is, not annihilated from existence.

Its either heaven or hell, no in between

@GHOST well I'm fairly certain no one goes to hell

@Deleted User.........

Hell and lake of fire are separate places this is iterated multiple times Im fairly certain

The Bible mentions that *hell will be thrown into the lake of fire*

But muh weeping and nashing of teeth ?

Hell itself probably isn't on fire, that depiction of hell is fairly modern coming from Dante's inferno

@GHOST I don't remember reading that, but sure
