What is Modesty? | The Body Theologic
https://bodytheologic.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/what-is-modesty
The Difference Between Infallibility & Inspiration →. March 8, 2011. Quick, cover them up before the churchgoers see them! For whatever reason, modesty has become something of an “issue” for conservative Christians (and Catholics in particular) lately. But there’s a problem with the way that it is often discussed. Modesty isn’t about “covering up” or other sorts of clothing rules. When we talk to others are we always playing up our intelligence or accomplishments? Modesty isn’t about fending off th...

The Bride of Christ | Open Thou My Lips

Open Thou My Lips. And my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. The Bride of Christ. October 12, 2010 5 Comments. I’ve been reading various positions on the visible Church vs. the invisible Church and I was wondering if you people could articulate clearly some of the ideas and arguments between the two. It seems to me that the arguments tend to go something along these lines:. I’m not sure exactly what the Orthodox would say, perhaps that those under an orthodox (with a little-o, meaning right believi...

Praying to the Saints IS Praying to Christ | The Body Theologic
https://bodytheologic.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/praying-to-the-saints-is-praying-to-christ
Concerns about “Authentic Masculinity”. Hymn to the Virgin – Benjamin Britten →. Praying to the Saints IS Praying to Christ. August 23, 2011. Objections to the practice of praying to the saints come in a few different forms, from the extreme of calling it idolatry to a mild discomfort that one is not “going directly to Christ.” But what all of them seem to have in common is a low estimation of what it means to be incorporated into Christ’s mystical body. Because of this…. First of all, then, I urge that ...

NFP Misconception #1: Letting God Decide | The Body Theologic
https://bodytheologic.wordpress.com/2011/06/05/nfp-misconception-1-letting-god-decide
Do Protestants Believe in the Infallibility of the Church? Concerns about “Authentic Masculinity” →. NFP Misconception #1: Letting God Decide. June 5, 2011. Proponents of NFP often speak as if the reason that NFP is okay (and contraception is not) is that “NFP lets God decide when we have children.”. That’s a bit silly, though. Not only can God decide to do whatever he wants regardless of our family planning methods, but it isn’t even what the Church says about NFP. Finally, it is for parents to. Fill in...

Do Protestants Believe in the Infallibility of the Church? | The Body Theologic
https://bodytheologic.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/do-protestants-believe-in-the-infallibility-of-the-church
Quodvultdeus of Carthage on the Woman of the Apocalypse. NFP Misconception #1: Letting God Decide →. Do Protestants Believe in the Infallibility of the Church? June 4, 2011. Here is something I’ve been thinking about lately. Do Protestants view a “great apostasy” a la Mormonism as a possibility for Christ’s Church? If not, then it seems that there is at least some sense in which Protestants believe Christ’s Church to be infallible. Does that make sense, or am I reaching? This entry was posted in catholic.

My Conversion, in Practical Terms. October 16, 2011. In News and Current Events. For those of you who follow me on Facebook. You know I’ve been actively vocal about supporting the OccupyWall Street Protests. And have posted support for and helped organize our local solidarity movement Occupy Tulsa. For those of you concerned that Occupy is a Marxist coup d’ etat against capitalism, let me say this: I cannot speak for the 99% but I can say that I have made some observations. And sometimes even violent.

Occupy Catholics | The Practical Catholic
https://practicalcatholic.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/occupy-catholics
My Conversion, in Practical Terms. February 12, 2012. I’m a Catholic, and I Occupy. Some of you are shocked, but I’m not alone. Since all this started back in September for me, life has been insane. I’ve been arrested, pepper-sprayed and slept out in the rain, in the cold, intents and on sidewalks…I’ve been slandered, abused, called names, and I don’t mind so much. In fact, I’m not really bothered at all. I remember reading Stanley Hauerwas and feeling like too few Chrisitians were aware of the severe di...

Most Highly Favoured Lady, Gloria! The Difference Between Infallibility & Inspiration. March 22, 2011. The Council of Nicea. As I’ve been thinking more about the issue of Church infallibility, I realized that a lot of apparent disagreements probably come down to confusion over the meaning of the term. But in Catholic theology these terms have very distinct meanings. Nonetheless, the two ideas are distinct. The biblical Canon, the Nicene Creed, and all the dogmatic teaching of the Church are human res...
