Bl Anne Catherine Emmerich also tells of this story of the Good thief. I don't know all the details well, so I'm not certain if all of them match exactly, but I know that she attaches the early parts of his life, the Holy Family's time in Egypt!

question mark, please

I am Catholic and own a massage clinic. I do not use Reiki or any energy work, but I do call on the Holy Spirit to use my hands to help. Constricted muscles need work. We have studied anatomy and biology. So we also know, the lymphatic system benefits from lymphatic movement. I work mainly with injured Veterans and get complex cases like muscular dystrophy or post surgical patients, but all people can benefit from massage. Our bodies need work and stretching of the muscles. I get 70 and 80 year old patients coming in that have never had a massage. Their backs are hardened and their Range of Motion is impaired. Massages could have helped them prevent this. (I also work with a senior center). I know the Lord is the one doing the work. I'm just answering the call to help.

"Self-love" is more often taken too far.

Big businesses come in because they are more efficient, which means they help the poor better. The only way to help the poor efficiently on a wide scale is to have prices be as low as possible compared to median income. Past that, one-on-one charity at a local level is very good and needs to happen. It can't be made any bigger than local.

I heard your excitement about the Audible book mother angelica… picked it up in that moment. Can’t wait to listen to it!

Friedrich Neitzche would ought to feel right at home in the new slave empire he's seeded in American consciousness.

St Dismas is my patron Saint but I have never heard this story. Thank you for sharing.

While I respect the insight, He didnt answer the question. Most Protestants have no problem with what he just said.

So true. Many such cases

Are there too few capitalists? That's an interesting question.

As an Asatru (norse pagan) myself I think some of your assessment is correct and the portrayal incorrect the parts of meritocracy and those who have power controlling out group preferences and not believing in inherit human value is true we do not hold such belief however we do believe in inherit rights of individuals. I also think much of the left had bastardized and subverted much of what it meant/ means to be a pagan and its still an on going issue in our own community (conservative pagans V leftist pagans) neither side willing to accept the other because we see each other as opposite tribes.

To me, doesn’t the mere fact they are having this debate mean that scripture is not enough?

Here we go again.... another page giving voice to a guy that did absolutely 0 research into anything....... He's done no research into ANYTHING. Or, he's outright lying. Why people give him any ear is beyond me.

Why do Catholics call Mormons and Jehovah’s witnesses Protestants? They’re not even Christians !

Yes. They do

No issue in the hand or mouth. Do not stop the Holy Spirit from moving and tongues visions, dancing,ect. The people who take it should be overflowing with the Holy Spirit.

It's Distribut- *ism* , not Distribut- *ingism* ! "Localism" speaks of subsidiarity but not so much of solidarity. Beautiful to hear about Distributism happening naturally in Steubenville. We all need to do the same where we live!

Genesis 3:15 says both between the woman and the serpent AND her seed and the serpent's. It is Christ as much if not more than it is Mary.

This is crazy

St Pio threw a tantrum when the TV became public. He stated it is the modern paganism. He was square on.
