I cried three times during that film

Broke: getting an indulgence to get to heaven quicker
Woke: cry at Passion for the Christ to get to heaven quicker

I think I cried at least 2/3 of the movie, or at least from the flagelation scene to the end

That has made my day.

Source pls?

Not super active in this chat so pardon me for being late here. But Passion was such a good movie. My favorite scene was the flashback with Jesus and Mary while He's building a table.

Interesting that all the (((critics))) don't like the Passion of the Christ 🤔

this is part of a book I want to put together

St Ahmed, an Ottoman nobleman who converted to Christianity through the influence of his Russian concubine and was martyred for his conversion

The Assumption of the Virgin.

I always like to meditate on this most glorious mystery in times of despair. It reminds me that Our Lady had not once lost hope in her entire earthly life. She bore witness to her Son’s humiliation, torture, and execution, and yet she did not lose hope. She remained by her Son’s side, in the hope and knowledge that His day of victory was at hand. Because of this, she is rewarded by an eternity of glory as Queen of Heaven.

We, too, shall be rewarded for maintaining hope in the will of Christ. We ought to, even in the face of such sickening societal degeneracy. For hope in God is righteous, and it is only through righteous men that the will of God shall be done, until He comes again.

During the Granada War, King Fernando received a Letter from the Mameluke Sultan of Egypt warning him that if he did not cease his war with Granada he would destroy the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and kill Christians living in his domain.
King Fernando responded to the threat with his own - That if he should hear of Christians being killed or damage to the Holy Sepulcher he would butcher huge numbers of Moors in his domains.
During the Haitian Revolution, Decolonization in Africa and in South Africa today, Black populations and governments have and are currently threatening and murdering White populations.
If the West really was always such a horribly racist, evil, White Supremacist Civilization, why didn't they ANY Western nation in 200 years ever threatened to massacre Black populations in response to threats to their own citizens and kinsmen in Haiti or Africa as King Fernando of Spain did for Christians?

What does that say about the West was versus what it became?

Sepúlveda was right

Who

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Gin%C3%A9s_de_Sep%C3%BAlveda this bad boy

Sepúlveda defended the position of the colonists, although he had never been to America, claiming that some Amerindians were "natural slaves" as defined by Aristotle in Book I of Politics. "Those whose condition is such that their function is the use of their bodies and nothing better can be expected of them, those, I say, are slaves of nature. It is better for them to be ruled thus." He said these natives are "as children to parents, as women are to men, as cruel people are from mild people". These assertions in regard to some but not all Amerindians were made in Democrates alter de justis belli causis apud Indos (A Second Democritus: on the just causes of war with Indians) Rome, 1550. Although Aristotle was a primary source for Sepúlveda's argument, he also pulled from various Christian and other classical sources, including the Bible.

Saint Seraphim of Sarov

That's who my Church is named after

Very nice!

Mine is named for saints Peter and Paul

>Mine is actually Greek but named after Russian

Everyone their is Greek too which is strange

Orthodox is orthodox, why does it matter what saint your parish is named after?

Because their so heavily Greek you would figure they would name their church after a Greek Saint

I think I'm the only non-Greek that goes

🤷

@Deleted User I, too, am one of the few non-Greeks at my church

I'm in the Serbian jurisdiction but there's a fair mix at my parish.

I'm putting that in the "art" section because it's a masterpiece

so there is this French softcore porn/gossip magazine that made a quarter of its cover about the French equivalent of the Daily Stormer

and it's
"**DISGUSTING**
RACISM
ANTISEMITISM
HOMOPHOBIA
**A SHAMEFUL WEBSITE**
[and here comes some quotes from the website, __on the cover__ 🤣 ]
Ariane Bordier
"the coal burner" [it's actually worse since in French it's like "whore of niggers"]
Jack Lang
"the disgusting kike"
Blaise Matuidi
"the excremental nigger"
Pamela Anderson
"Maghreb's cumrag"
**LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER TO BAN IT**

Some things are simply better said in languages other than English. Lol

A picture I took whilst hiking in Wales.

Ive started a YouTube channel dedicated to the traditional catholic aesthetics and lifestyle to make it look as appealing as possible. Here’s the first video I made. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=9mhIb5ZdvNY

Some more aesthetics lads. Please disregard modernism in the basilica. San Juan must be reclaimed from these heretics.
