And a paper tiger? A lot of strawmen in this one. Maybe this is a relevant criticism (barely) of certain "official" Communist regimes circa 1960, but it´s hardly a serious criticism of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. Note also the hypocritical "pie in the sky" message. Endure yer suffering, proles! Nupe, won´t happen, comrade. Or should I call you "citizen"?
Catholic content-creator Trent comments some peculiar Mormon doctrines. I didn´t know about this stuff either. Still, one speculative-dogmatic religious group attacking another speculative-dogmatic group strikes me as completely absurd. But you knew that already.
From a Social Darwinist viewpoint, this guy was clearly more succesful than Anne Wittecombe, an asexual childless spinster. But sure, I suppose it would have been more impressive if Peter Rolfe had been a true manor lord in addition to his more hands-on genetic proclivities...
Overheard on the Internet: "THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA and the identity of the Great Catholic Monarch are revealed in the "novel" NIGHT IN ZAGREB by Medvidovic - seems like Catholic Church knows all on the coming of the SECOND SUN."
Oh.
Here we go again. I actually wondered about this myself: if even the Anti-Christ makes miracles, how can miracles prove the Catholic Church? Or Christianity in general? How do we know *they* aren´t the Anti-Christ?
From MythVision, commenting the recent conversion/reversion of YouTube personality Joe Schmid to Catholicism.
Claim: Juan Diego never existed. You know, the guy who supposedly saw Marian apparitions in 1531. The Lady of Guadalupe.
Hmmm...
Hittade ett YouTube-klipp med titeln "Alla vägar bär till Romarbrevet". Ja, det var protestantiskt. Featuring Stefan Gustavsson. Okej, titeln var faktiskt ganska fyndig...
The distinction between "public" and "private" in this video about revelation is just a sleight of hand trick. Weren´t most revelations given to Paul and John (at Patmos) "private"? Wasn´t Fatima "public"? But RZ (the content-creator) isn´t a Catholic. The ministry of Jesus was a "public revelation", but why didn´t the resurrected Christ show himself to his enemies or to the indifferent? In a certain sense, his resurrection was therefore also "private". Und so weiter.
He´s right about the NDEs, though.
I admit that I never heard about the famous Princeton philosopher Joe Schmid before. Perhaps because he is just a random guy on YouTube who happens to study philosophy somewhere at Princeton? Recently, Schmid shocked his fellow atheists/agnostics by converting (or strictly speaking reverting) to Catholicism. Or did he?
Some suspect he is just trolling. His video does look unserious, but perhaps he is just the hyperactive autistic type? Anyhow, this is the current drama on YouTube right now.
Do I care? Nupe. But in case you´re interested, the first video above is Schmid´s conversion story, while the second is a critique from Derek of MythVision.
The "classical" definition of anti-Semitism is "hostility to Semites, especially Jews". By that standard, Thomas Sheridan´s latest rant is clearly anti-Semitic. And no, I´m not surprised. He is simply reverting to his old self about ten years ago. Yawn. But OK, he doesn´t like Sumerians either, apparently...
Will the next video be about how the Apollonian-Solar Aryans have always been at war with the Cthonic-Lunar Dravidians?
Note how he claims that *both* Yahweh and Jesus Christ were demons!
Dude.
Redeemed Zoomer strikes again. This is a sequel to his two previous videos on strange and (perhaps) wonderful Christian denominations. A *bit* boring, though! I expected more colorful cults. I mean, what about the 57 versions of Mormonism, bruh?
Någon på Aftonbladet tycker att det här är roligt. Jag antar att de syftar på Blondies gamla låt "Maria". Vilken tur att det inte finns polska katolska terroristgrupper. Än så länge.
Den bisarra rubriken är från startsidan. Själva artikeln har en mer lämplig rubrik...
OK, this was fascinating. When notorious 17h century Irish archbishop James Ussher procured Waldensian documents for a work on this medieval "heresy", two Cathar scriptures were found among them. One of them claims that *Jesus himself* sinned once - when he prayed to the Father to spare him from the crucifixion at the Garden of Gethsemane. This is somehow connected to Cathar theology concerning the physical body. As a divine being of Light, Jesus simply couldn´t stand being incarnated into one! Note also the doctrine that John the Baptist was Satanic...
The YouTube channel "ESOTERICA" seems to be an attempt to create a scholarly channel on esotericism which is still somehow esoteric. Make of that what you wish.
Orthodox bad boy Jay Dyer calls out the SSPX (or as he jokingly calls them: Ssss-pksss), who were recently excommunicated from the Catholic Church. The SSPX faithful presumably want the Orthodox to submit to Rome, but they don´t seem willing to submit themselves...
Dyer was a supporter of the SSPX for a number of years and his video contains some funny gossip about the society. Are we to believe Dyer, the SSPX is teeming with crypto-Nazis, barely closeted homosexuals and kooks in general. At one point, our man emphasizes that no gay priest ever touched his butt?! Alcoholism is another rampant problem. One SSPX priest had a private collection of German Nazi memorabilia which he treated in an almost sacramental manner. Dyer also believes that the society is theologically heterodox compared to mainstream conservative Catholicism, perhaps in a Jansenist and Gallican direction.
His main argument against the Society of Saint Pius X, however, is their refusal to consistently obey the papacy. Dyer argues at length that according to both Catholic theology and canon law, Catholics are duty bound to follow "the First See" at Rome *on all issues*. Yet, the SSPX picks and chooses which decisions of Rome they will follow, and hence acts exactly like the "modernists" they are condemning!
This is something I noticed, too. The SSPX do next level "lawyering" in order to stay inside the Catholic Church. For instance, they pretend to recognize the Second Vatican Council, but argue that its decisions aren´t binding (cuz reasons blah blah).
In case you are interested in this latest occasion for scandal...
