'What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written: “For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.' -- Romans 8:35-38

Happy Feast of St. Ursula and companions!

Something I'll never truly get from this whole era of weeping about this generation's lack of "media literacy" is that you guys are the most illiterate ones when it comes to the Bible

The Bible will basically state "rapes happened" and you will be "GOD CONDONES RAPE!!"

Or radfem who are so adamant that Israelites raped captives which is impossible because Israelites were forbidden to have sex outside of marriage let alone with foreigners, and that the only condition to have a relationship with foreign women was by wifing them Deuteronomy 21:10-14.

And while Israelites at war were allowed to MARRY a female captive (still not rape because words have meaning and you guys need to stop projecting whatever stuff into an objective statement out of your own opinionated bias) they'll have to wait for marriage to be allowed to have sexual relationships with her. And you know what's funny? if that marriage didn't work or that the Israelite repudiates her, the Israelite man has the obligation to let her go ("If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes.") which makes any scenario where Israelites would forcefully marry captives for them to become their sex slaves completely moot because this passage actually establishes marriage as the only legal escape room for women to leave captivity (" let her go wherever she wishes." +"You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.")

And inb4 "but why did Israelites kill women and children and kept them as captives?? WHY GOD IS SO CRUEL??" -> WELCOME TO THE OLD TESTAMENT where life was grim and Grace had yet to land onto humanity.

We as Christians don't abide to those rules anymore - Jewish people do. But since Christians are an easier target you only come at us to give accountability for still upholding those rules when we actually don't (we don' got to war to protect a territory because our Kingdom is in Heaven, and we now show the other cheek,not gouge the eye of those who wronged us). Go bother jewish people if you dare lol.... Oh my bad, the lots of you are too busy simping for them for being a bulwark against the Islamist menace whatever.

thinking of the ending of conclave (2024) and those lingering shots on the papal vestments. the future and the foundation of the church, he who sits on the throne and is the face of it, wears white.

and the last shot of the movie. and those lingering shots on the women below. the future and the foundation of the church, they who maintain it without being lauded for it, wear white.

Does the Bible Support Deaconesses?

“Deacons likewise must be dignified…Their wives likewise must be dignified,” (1 Tim 3:8, 11, ESV) Does the Bible restrict the office of deacon to men only? Much of this depends on how you interpret 1 Timothy 3:11. Depending on what translation you read, the answer may differ. The English Standard Version cited above (as well as the KJV) implies that what is discussed in verse 11 is the…

A post shared by Company of St. Ursula of Canada (@companyofstursula)

As we head into Vocations Awareness Week, we pray, "Jesus, Divine Redeemer who inspired Saint Angela Merici to found the Company of Saint Ursula, the first institute of virgins consecrated in the world, deign to raise up new vocations to the Company of Saint Angela's daughters, to increase the numbers of those who, in their consecration of earthly reality, adore You in spirit and truth."

Ok but I literally don't understand separatist radfem who have a problem with Christian forbidding women to take authority on a man (in spiritual education) because that statement doesn't remove the possibility of women to teach each other in women only spaces 🤔

There's not a single verse forcing women to be under a male authority in Christianity. Although marriage is seen as blessing, celibacy is highly encouraged in Christianity and seen as "better" (because it lives us more room & time to work for God vs family that distracts us a lot from that task)

Christianity is a culture where female only spaces are most likely to be protected and removed from the compulsiveness of male romantic partnership. Christianity is the only religion to uplift celibacy, which is highly compatible with separatism and other more recent separatist movements like 4B.

Men and women can work together of course, notably in the work for God (I always found endearing how Paul mentionned his "sisters" in his letters, or how Mary Magdalene eventually joined the apostles squad and was a key element in announcing to them Christ Resurrection lol), but not romantically, and that's how men and women mutual complementarity should also be considered. Not only in marriage.

I'm not saying that Christianism is "progressive" per se and I grasp the objective inequality of men being able to spiritually teach to women but not the other way around, but calling it as an oppressive tool of patriarchy to keep women under a man's thumb is one glaring misunderstanding if I ever saw one. Gatekeeping is not "oppressive" and there's some quite irony is seeing radfem spouting the same rhetoric as TRA the moment they're not included in spaces or roles they feel entitled to (religious minstrel authority)....🥴

For example, the NBA is not "oppressive" to tiny people for not considering them eligible for enlistment. Biology and the privilege it gives us on some specific outcome *is* unfair - it doesn't men God is unfair. It doesn't mean He values us differently because of our differences and the different purposes they leave for us to access.

As I already said once, there's not a single verse saying women are inherently inferior to men. I say that because one feminist (?) tried to argue the Bible calling women more "fragile/weaker" was God saying we were inferior... Which is very confusing but this statement is a blanket statement of many (radical) feminists saying that women objective fragility in comparison to male, is the reason we should have our own space (notably in sports) to protect us from men overpowering us 🤔 radfem and God are seemingly on the same page here lol

watched conclave last night and then read the wikipedia entry for the book and now I'm wondering about the category ten shitstorm that a publicly intersex pope would cause
