[This Kenyan doesn't do his case to the full]

2:52 Jesus never said any word about "repetition" in Matthew 6:7.

Battalogein or battologein literally translates as "stutter-speak" and while the Vulgate translates "wordiness" (nolite multum loqui), other old translations (Coptic and Syriac) translate "don't stutter" (I've asked this of people who know these languages).

What does stuttering, many words, and "like the heathen" have to do with each other?

Well, get into trouble with school rules, imagine you're not best pals with the principal, and you will, before him, stutter and add explanation on explanation. You would only repeat yourself if you weren't very inventive, but you would add lots of explanations. And that is how the heathens approached their gods. It doesn't refer to Hindus or Muslims. It refers to Greco-Roman heathen, and we have real examples, like the very same year, Velleius Paterculus finished his II book of Roman History with, precisely, a prayer. It is not repetitive in words. But it adds trial on trial, hoping not all will be errors. Because principals and pagan gods (i e demons) sometimes take fun in deliberately misunderstanding someone, and well, the point is, God is not like that.

3:35 That man [Wojtyla] was not Pope.

The Rosary has 15 mysteries, not 20.

Christmas Explained with Apocalypse 12

WHY isn't THIS STORY told each CHRISTMAS?

8:46 There is a problem here.

In 2017, people were saying that the Apoc. 12 Constellation, searched by the same software, occurred once, 2017, and before that you needed to go back before Creation.

Was that search too specific about the stars, or what happened?

11:04 Solution. The Blessed Virgin Mary is more than just "one woman" ...

The Holy Family is the household of faith, and it's patriarch is called Joseph (for a reason).

Herself, She is called "blessed among women" because like Jael and Judith, She killed an important enemy of Israel. However, in Her case, that's a snake. And Luke 1:28 comes before Luke 1:31, She was already victorious before She was pregnant with God in the flesh.

12:55 You just called the woman "faithful Israel" ... but Romans 3:23 states no Israelite was without sin ... except the exception.

Mary is, personally, "daughter Zion", and as such faithful. Genesis 3:15 makes both Jesus and Mary an exception.

15:21 "of Rome"?

Herod sent his own soldiers, Hebrews. At the time, Judaea was a Protectorate, not a Province.

He was vassal to Rome, sure, but so was Antiochus Epiphanes. Nevertheless, when Antiochus attacked Hebrews faithful to the law, his soldiers spoke Greek, not Latin. Herod's spoke Hebrew, not Latin or Greek.

If you have data refuting this, bring them on.

And no, Luke 2:4 doesn't mean there was a Roman tax collector in Bethlehem. Joseph was a patriot and got enrolled to pay the Temple tax. He avoided Roman tax collectors by quitting Galilee. That's why the first Roman census in Judaea is not relevant to the historicity of the Gospels. The one in Galilee was earlier, under the governors of Syria, one other (Saturninus, I think) assisted by Quirinius. It was forgotten except by Luke, because it sparked no revolt.

18:01 Note, Calvary changes the deal.

From Calvary, Jesus conquered back the authority that had been formerly given to Satan. On Calvary, Satan was bound for a thousand years. Before Calvary He says:

Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
[John 12:31]

32:45 Commandments and Testimony.

What commandments? "I am the Lord thy God" certainly. Not eating pork ... maybe not so relevant any more.

You spoke of a household. It has been a visible community through history. That should be a clue as to its confessional identity. Or some would say "denominational" ... the same city they were first called Christians is where a bishop first called them Catholic (time of Peter, time of his second successor in Antioch, Ignatius).

32:49 Thank you for the final quote.

It's on the frontispiece of St. Nicolas du Chardonnet, where I last worshipped with others for a longer period, except they accept the wrong Pope.

A Muslim Perhaps Made a Mistake in Quoting St. Thomas Aquinas via a Modern Work, the Summa is However Available (in Translation)

Here is a video involving how he got corrected:

Here is the work he was reading from:

Gregory M. Reichberg, Thomas Aquinas on War and Peace, 2017

I'm not sure if Gregory M. Reichberg makes the mistake or not.

Here is the Summa in English translation:

Here is the article that is being quoted from:

II—II: Question 10. Unbelief in general
Article 8. Whether unbelievers ought to be compelled to the faith?

Looking up Reichberg, it is probable that the Muslim misread him or oversimplified.

A 12 Year Old Mother Should be Able to be a 12 Year Old Bride

Was the considerably older man already married to someone else?

If not, under other jurisidictions, he could have repaired for what he did by marrying her, unless she preferred the age peer.

@janvan4424

There is NO WAY to repair rape. The crime has already been comitted. Being married to the rapist would be a horrible thing for the victim to endure. Would you want to be married to someone who committed a crime against you?

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@hglundahl

@janvan4424 Being married would be horrible in some cases, not others.

Have you heard of "friend rape"? Means, they were already kind of romantic, or romanticism vs friend zone, so it wouldn't be like letting a complete stranger into one's life after he made a very rude intrusion.

And I think, statistically, that more rapes are committed from people you know than from strangers.

The Mosaic law was allowing for such reparation in some cases, and so were Medieval Catholic customs (and same reparation requirement was also attached to simply seducing a virgin, see El Alcalde de Zalamea, for an early post-Medieval example of such jurisprudence).

@dnangelsorg2544

@hglundahl, we do not agree with a 12 year old victim marrying the person who harmed her.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@dnangelsorg2544 In this case, you do not agree with a father marrying a mother of the same child, then. I thought you were in favour of healing.

However, you are not accuser, judge or prison guardian, you are if anything at all closer to the coroner (or do you say "judge of investigation" in the US) if there is a case.

My observation was about jurisdictions, not about your view on the matter. However, it is likely views like yours have contributed to the raised age limits for marriage.

Jan van

@hglundahl we are in favor of the mother healing, but making her marry someone who raped her and stole her innocence will traumatize her even further and won't remotely bring healing

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@janvan4424 I said nothing about making her marry the person who committed what might have been just statutory rape in your jurisdiction.

I said, in a different jurisdiction it would have been an option for her (but an obligation for him), unless he was already married, consecrated celibate or close relative.

@janvan4424 I note you don't seem to be in favour of the perpetrator healing.

Jan van

@hglundahl marrying the girl he raped won't heal him. I am in favor of him being held accountable for the crime he committed by going to prison. I am in favor of him getting professional help so he will hopefully never commit that crime again.
I noticed you didn't address the question I asked you.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@janvan4424 If he marries her, he will not commit the crime again.

Without prison. Without therapy. Just by his duties as a husband.

Now, to the question. Depends on the crime. I would certainly not want to enter a gay marriage if raped by a bugger. But since the act, whether actual or just statutory rape, made a child, this was not the case.

III

Jan van

Marrying the girl he raped doesn't repair what he did. All it does is punish the girl by marrying the man who raped her.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@janvan4424 Did you miss what I stated? She isn't punished, it's her option, but his duty if she choses. And some rapes do occur between people who have previously had a good relationship.

Plus, the rape in question could have been just statutory.

II—II, Question 154. The parts of Lust
Article 7. Whether rape is a species of lust, distinct from seduction?
https://www.newadvent.org/summa/3154.htm#article7

The Objection 3 is about an abrogated decree of a Council of Meaux.

Reply to Objection 3. The rape of a maiden who is promised in marriage is to be judged differently from that of one who is not so promised. For one who is promised in marriage must be restored to her betrothed, who has a right to her in virtue of their betrothal: whereas one that is not promised to another must first of all be restored to her father's care, and then the abductor may lawfully marry her with her parents' consent. Otherwise the marriage is unlawful, since whosoever steals a thing he is bound to restore it. Nevertheless rape does not dissolve a marriage already contracted, although it is an impediment to its being contracted. As to the decree of the council in question, it was made in abhorrence of this crime, and has been abrogated. Wherefore Jerome [The quotation is from Can. Tria. xxxvi, qu. 2 declares the contrary: "Three kinds of lawful marriage," says he, "are mentioned in Holy Writ. The first is that of a chaste maiden given away lawfully in her maidenhood to a man. The second is when a man finds a maiden in the city, and by force has carnal knowledge of her. If the father be willing, the man shall endow her according to the father's estimate, and shall pay the price of her purity [Cf. Deuteronomy 22:23-29. The third is, when the maiden is taken away from such a man, and is given to another at the father's will."

We may also take this decree to refer to those who are promised to others in marriage, especially if the betrothal be expressed by words in the present tense.

The previous article, on Seduction, features Exodus 22:16-17 and Deuteronomy 22:28-29.

[The system is not just biassed against men in conflict with a woman, but also in other conflicts, for instance with a group.

In such cases, it can be biassed against women too, and also in conflicts with parents or teachers.]

Confer:

I have stood beside parents whose lives were torn apart by judgements untested in open court, based on ‘professional opinion’ masquerading as fact. I have watched as the narratives of doctors and social workers went unchallenged simply because no ordinary citizen was present to say: “That doesn’t ring true.”
