Ari Berman!
When did you last stand up for the right of Gipsies, Sorbs, Lapps, First Nations, Catalans, Basques (I could probably go on, but these are the cases I know best) to have their own state?
And the right of Palestinians to have their own state?

Élites Promote Evolution: a Conspiracy, Not a Theory
A little more than one century ago, the US philanthropist Carnegie funded scientific institutions on condition they promote Evolution. I obviously prefer his Swedish relatives that started the brewery for Carnegie Porter.
Epstein Files REVEALED: Why was he pushing evolution?

5:33 One harmonious system.
On the astronomic scale too? With Geocentrism, the answer is yes.
6:29 "first time"
No. Julien Offray de La Mettrie was an Atheist, while Jean Le Rond d'Alembert and Denis Diderot gravitated into that direction.
How come this was possible in the 18th C. while it was clearly absent from the 13th?
Heliocentrism.
12:09 About the frequency of mutations and the time it takes for one to take over an entire population too.
So far, you are underestimating the impossibility of "big picture evolution" (like more radical than pepper moths or hedgehogs diversifying into species and even genera).
You haven't mentioned that some functions require more than one gene.
My favourite example since a few years ago is the retina of ... not sure if it was Astyanax Jordani or some blind cichlid, I think a cave in Mexico was mentioned, indicating as I look up the former, and then blind cichlids (indicating Congo river, other side of the Atlantic) could be a false memory.
Either way, the blind fish in question has ten genes for retina development. Two of them are damaged with a mutation or two. When coupled with relatives of non-blind populations, the hybrid isn't blind, the mutations are recessive.
So, ten genes, and getting only two things wrong on two of them is enough to make the retina non-functional.
However, this cannot be what St. Paul talked about, since genes and these blind fish have not been studied since the beginning of creation. Day and night, summer and winter, new moon and full moon have.
14:21 This case is not from biology, but from linguistics.
Human language functions on certain bases.
The logical bases involve:
- concepts can be named for themselves, not just as part of a pragmatic signal ("food" doesn't mean "let's eat" and "lion" doesn't mean "lion danger, lets climb the trees")
- they can be named in different types of absence : past, future, hidden, far, negated, conditional.
But the thing that makes this possible is:
- sentences are broken down into concept signals, known technically as morphemes (usually words, but also endings, prefixes and a few more), neither or none of which denotes a complete sentence ("let us eat some food" has five parts, and none of them gives the pragmatic signal by itself)
- morphemes are broken down into non-signals that only code for difference ("eat" and "ease" differ by T from Z sounds, neither of which has any meaning).
The corresponding things in "monkey talk" are:
- usually one signal per "concept"
- and that signal either one sound or a regular back and forth, but not a direction specific sequence of different sounds
- usually only pragmatic and emotic "concepts" ("I'm worried you look sad" or "lion danger, let's climb the trees" are two concepts, while "sad" and "trees" aren't)
These are linked. With very limited capacity to differentiate signals, you don't have the room for discussions about interesting topics, you just have the room for pragmatics and emotics, the equivalent of languages entirely in traffic signs and emoticons, no rebus involved.
So, how would the latter change into the former? Increasing vocabulary by subdividing such concepts by sound sequences would be pointless, if each "word" is an entire signal and learning one means to learn how to respond to yet another type situation. But increasing sentences by subdivision into theoretic concepts, into topics, would be impossible if the "vocabulary" remained as limited.
Even more.
- chimpanzees cannot hear consonants (outer ear too thick)
- chimpanzees cannot pronounce pure vowels (hyoid tied to air bags for distortion and amplification)
- chimpanzees, by absence of Broca's and Wernicke's areas and a human version of the FOXP-2 gene cannot learn vocabulary, properly. Or vocabulary and sentence structure.
In the pretended line from "Ramapithecus" (ancestral to chimps and men, according to evolution) to us, there are only three categories of skeleta:
- all of above traits (when found) human (even if Homo erectus had somewhat thicker ears, and might not have heard T, but could have heard CH or K, which are less shrill)
- none of above traits (when found) human (Australopithecus, for instance)
- the skull is too damaged to tell.
14:33 Darwin neither knew the genes of a retina, nor the working of human language.
16:20 I second Franklin M. Harold, adding Human language and cosmic Geocentrism to it.

On Apologists and Our Duties
THE ISSUE WITH CATHOLIC INFLUENCERS - A Vlog
Amber Rose | 9 Febr. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkaSIP3BHFc
OK, holding controversial opinions, is that also a sin?*
I suppose Our Lord was pretty controversial twice over in the temple.
4:59 Some converts have to get into Apologetics instantly, as per school or family.
I was, when arriving at SSHL for ninth grade, a basically Evangelical Apoologist. When I left after twelfth grade, I was a Catholic one.
With some school mates, minutes of apologetics was the most peaceful interaction we had.
I was only received after leaving High School, since I graduated in 1987 and was received in 1988.
Now, this kind of thing can happen online. I think Sips with Serra and the Jewish Catholic are in this kind of position.
And in fact, well before the internet existed, a certain Chesterton who was already doing apologetics was received in, I think, 1922. Writing was his career, he couldn't just stop and he had to explain why he left the Anglican communion. In 1922, he denounced Eugenics, before Pope Pius XI did so in Casti connubii. In 1923, he wrote a booklet on St. Francis of Assisi, and in 1925 he wrote Everlasting Man.
Another case like that was a certain John Henry, future Cardinal, Newman. However, in his case, he was given the explicit order to write before getting instruction. One often forgets that Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine is what reflects the Anglican deciding to become Catholic, while that was fresh in his memory, not the Catholic case as it would be presented by a well instructed Catholic.
"I 5:38 mean, it does, but you're not like 5:40 authoritatively trying to speak on the 5:42 church. You know what I mean?"
The exact same thing is true about Apologetics.**
Trent Horn would be in a very great pickle if his pretence that Cardinal Baronius had said "the Bible doesn't teach us how the Heavens go" in the connection of the Galileo affair had been made authoritatively on behalf of the Church.
Cardinal Baronius had died before the Galileo affair, Galileo made the quote but didn't say what highly placed Church man, it's dubious if Galileo had even met Baronius, and I think the earliest person to pin it down to Baronius (a good apologist against Protestants and a holy disciple of St. Philip Neri) was in the 19th C. Perhaps the Anfossi affair.
[end] As you multiple times referenced "the Catechism", can I hope it's that of St. Pius X, or Baltimore?
Or the one of the Council of Trent?
* She mentioned rage bait is. ** They are also not speaking authoritatively.
Other possible criticism of me. I supposedly get my information from Social Media, which is getting clicks by feeding me what I believe. Basically what Ali-Marie Ingram is saying: |

Some Call It Christian Antisemitism
'The Jews Killed Jesus': Blood Libel or Biblical Truth? | Ep 1301
Allie Beth Stuckey | 9.II.2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUfXGtQoYuk
1:54 Sounds you agree with St. Ignatius of Loyola, "omnia in maiorem Dei gloriam".
Nice to see one Catholicism point here!
5:45 Could I amend "at the behest of the Jewish people" to "at the behest of a Jewish crowd, which decades later came to define the Jewish people" (and still doesn't define it in Heavenly Jerusalem, see certain verses Apoc 2 and 3)?
10:00 It can be noted, after a Christian boy was found killed around a Jewish passover, one of the Jews converted, became a monk and stated that this was a magic ritual to further a kind of proto-Zionist cause.
Ah, here it is, St. William of Norwich:
Thomas of Monmouth's account is attributed to the testimony of a monk and former Jew named Theobald of Cambridge. Theobald alleged that the murder was a human sacrifice and that the "ancient writings of his fathers" required the yearly killing of a Christian on Good Friday. This was allegedly for two reasons: to one day return to the Holy Land during the Messianic Age and to punish Jesus Christ for the religious persecution that the Jewish people continued to experience at the hands of his followers.
In this case, it may be noted there was no trial. However in this case there was:
The events themselves have been reconstructed from a careful study of the trial records by American historian Ronnie Hsia. Simon, almost two and a half years old, went missing about 5 p.m. on the evening of Thursday, 23 March 1475. The following day, Good Friday, Simon's father approached the prince-bishop to ask for help in finding his missing child. ...
You could of course agree with Ronnie Hsia, who probably considers the Jews innocent.
Or you could find this detail somewhat more decisive:
An examination of the corpse by city doctors determined that Simon had not died of natural causes but had been exsanguinated.
Basically, there are only two possibilities on this one. Either the Jews of Trent were very corrupt, or the Christian magistrate of Trent was very corrupt.
I guess it was the Jews of Trent who were so.
Nevertheless, when it comes to St. Andrew of Rinn, I think the uncle could have been the culprit, and if he wasn't, the persons who posed as Jews before the uncle could have been a witch cult with little to no connection with Judaism. Now, if the uncle was the culprit, Andrew is still a martyr, for his mother's chastity or perhaps even his own. As long as he was alive, the widowed mother could not get a dispensation to marry the uncle as per OT levirate laws. Didn't stop the uncle from lusting, though.
10:03 I'm not aware of any Medieval account saying red matzoth were a Passover meal.
On my guess of what Jews of this sort could have been doing (based on Theobald's view), the kidnapping of a Christian boy was eventually followed by sending out of either white or red matzoth, the latter with his blood.
White matzoth would have meant, the boy "agreed" (at c. age 3 and up, before puberty) to become a Jew, got circumcised, had his first Passover meal. Red matzoth would have meant "mission failed" ....
Remember a few things:
- Theobald mentioned the idea of punishing Christians;
- Christian apologists had made a point of Genesis 49:10, adding that the Messiah must have come before Jews lost the right to execute (in this context, confer John 8 and Acts 7 with John 18:31), sth which happened in AD 6 when Archelaus was deposed;
- so, Jews counted Christians above puberty as so sinful, that executing an adult or teen Christian wouldn't have targetted specifically Christianity.
10:12 What is your credible view of Sts Simon of Trent and William of Norwich?
These boys very certainly existed and were buried before reaching puberty.
I've already exonerated the Jews as to St. Andrew of Rinn, whose relics were recently removed from the village church, as if exoneration of Jews automatically meant he was no martyr.
10:33 I the 19th C, in Xanten, a boy was found, determined by doctors to be exsanguinated.
On 29 June 1891, Johann Hegemann, the five-year-old son of a local cabinet maker, was found dead in a neighbour's barn, with his throat cut from ear to ear.
10:45 Actually, Austro-Fascism was encouraging as, shall we say, propaganda against Orthodox Judaism, the idea that four killed boys in the area (I think they were all in the area), including Sts Simon and Andrew, were killed by Orthodox Jews because they were very strict.
The problem, apart from those in the case of St. Andrew of Rinn, is, things that every Jew did in the Middle Ages, and things that Orthodox Jews do now, coincide to a large degree. So, they may have been wrong in singling out Orthodox Jews, one could think of secular Zionists ...
11:27 St. Paul did mention the Jews killing Jesus:
For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men
[1 Thessalonians 2:14-15]
Now, to be very fair, he also mentioned his adressees being their countrymen, so, presumably ethnically Jewish.
But he's starting to use "the Jews" as it has been used through Christian history.
- Hope
- @MochiHopeful
- To me it reads just that he's stating the obvious—that they were Jewish rather than making a collective grouping or accusation. They went from only really being persecuted by Gentiles/Romans to now also being persecuted by their fellow Jews (Jewish people) around them, people like Paul.
Paul, called himself 'a Jew.' Nowadays though people use "THE Jews" almost like a slur.
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- @hglundahl
- @MochiHopeful I actually think the Jews were first among the persecutors.
My point is, at this point, the evil Jews are hijacking the Jewish name and St. Paul is already catching up on it. St. John took some more time, he first gives the heavenly pov in Apocalypse 2 and 3 and then the earthly one in his Gospel, resuming the previously diversely mentioned enemies of Jesus under the single label "Jews" ...
Meanwhile, many churches were still primarily Jewish or in the Holy Land Jewish and Samarian, but they were no longer referred to as Jews. Today those in the Holy Land would be called "Christian Palestinians" while back then it was probably "Nazoreans".
12:23 The Pharisees ... in the Synoptics, we consistently come across Jesus interacting with enemies like:
- the Pharisees
- the Sadducees
- the Scribes
- the Crowd.
In John, Jesus interacts with one category:
- the Jews
The reason being that by the time John wrote the Gospel, after the Apocalypse, so, c. 100 AD, the Pharisees had hijacked the Jewish nation, except for the part that was, along with a part of the Samaritan nation, simply "the Church" ...
John had in the Apocalypse reported that Jesus in Heaven doesn't count those enemies as Jews, now he's saying, "but here on earth, we can give them that title" ...

Are Christians Just Sexual Hypocrites?
Shameless Popery | 6 Febr. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYM5w4wtiLo
1:59 I think there are occasions for throwing batteries in the Mediterranean.
Like, when you want a tracker to note where your ship is intercepted.
That's perhaps a good point if the interception, masked as an arrest is outside the arresting power's territorial waters. Making it an act of piracy.
3:12 If you say that a "homosexual is called to chastity" and don't add "like anyone else, and obviously including marital chastity, i e fertility and faithfulness" you are not setting a high bar, you are setting a wrong bar.
1) Because prior to Montini actual Popes have not set that as the bar (a document from 1568 concerns sodomites caught after already obliging themselves to celibacy, and they are obliged to celibacy ... and loneliness and shame ... because of that kind of vow).
2) Because to "Catholics" who believe that, calling someone homosexual, whether true or false, becomes a dog whistle for preventing him from marrying, therefore fulfilling a prophecy St. Paul gave St. Tim. I mean, such people may have sufficiently seared consciences to also prevent the same person from fasting.
4:51 The point of the 1568 document was, celibates should not have to live together with Sodomites.
And the point of things prior to Montini, celibacy is chosen. Including by persons who are feeling same sex attraction (but in that case they do well to stay out of seminaries and convents). It is not an obligation.
There are SSA people who are more allergic to OS than to celibacy. There are SSA people who are more allergic to celibacy than to opposite sex. And there are people who are not (or not very) SSA in the first place and who get squeezed because a sectarian of Montini believes a Priest of Apollo Delphicus (more usually shrink than tarot reader) that so and so is SSA.
8:13 That's not just too high for normalcy, but also too high for toying around with ideas like "that boy grew up without a father, ergo he's probably SSA" ...
Even in 1968, the number of boys this happened to by far surpasses the number of homosexual men today.
8:33 "single moms doing their best"
Which is sometimes very well indeed. I think my mother heard what you said from Heaven (in her case, I don't count Purgatory as realistic, she was a white martyr).
9:04 OK, you have shrinks speaking probabilities, like the Priests of Delphic Apollo they are.
With sodomy, you only bring up AIDS, which is a new problem.
Have you considered the punch line in St. Thomas' basis?
Sin against nature depopulates. And old generation of 5 million is likely to die pretty uncomfortably if all they gave life to under age 60 are just 1 million. Among Albigensians, this was not totally unheard of, btw.
A little tamer but closer to our reality, a girl the age I might like to marry one regretted the degradation of the "mentor" archetype. She brought up 1977's Obi Wan Kenobi (Alec Guiness, RIP or OPN, whichever) and compared to more recent films.
I made stats on this issue. That is, I compared US census stats from 1977 and 2025. The sections age 20 to 24 have gone down from 4.6 / 4.7 % of the population to 3.4 / 3.2 %. The mentor ages (above 60) have increased their portion, from 60 to 64, 2.0 / 2.3 % then and 3.1 / 3.1 % now, to 90 to 94, 0.1 / 0.1 % then, 0.2 / 0.4 % now.*
Supply and demand. A young person is less likely to want a mentor now. An old person is likelier to want someone to mentor now.
Some of the bad solutions involve pushing people into caring homes to avoid having them as mentors. And some of the bad solutions involve chasing non-young people one could also mentor. For instance, someone of age 57, whom some think of as 17 just because some network spread the rumour he grew up without a dad, and who has not succeeded, this man in this situation thinks I have had opportunity on opportunity wasted by people wanting, very improperly, to mentor me. My youth was misspent by people wanting to mentor me. Including a granny who couldn't, because she was atheist and my mother had made me a Christian.
9:30 Teen abortions would go away if teens could marry, but no one could abort, instead of many being able to abort (depending on state and moment of detection) but most teens not being able to marry.
In Sweden, teen abortions are a higher percentage of abortions than in France. Sweden also raised marital age or nuptial age for women to 18 way earlier than France, whose benighted president Chirac did so in 2006. 7 years nearly on the date before the legalisation of SS-"M" (just exchange the 3 and 4 from month to second digit of day).
10:03 Yes, there certainly are reasons to regret the passing of régimes like Benito's and Francisco's (mother made an essay on their patron saints, while in school) in which abortion was simply a crime, and could simply be punished.
Like 2 to 5 years, both for mother above 14 aborting with medical assistance and for the one providing such. Codice Rocco, 1930, Italy.
If the mother was under 14 or mentally deficient, she was legally not deemed to have decided the abortion, but someone else to have forced her. 6 to 12 years.
13:05 I don't like the comparison to drivers' licences.
Reminds me too much of how in some places doctors can deny people marriage licences, just as they can lock them up, on too loose grounds.
Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth
[1 Timothy 4:3]
16:58 Just in case someone wants to demonise my blogs as those of someone oversharing my faults, no, I'm not.
It's more likely that someone complaining of my "oversharing" is complaining of my sharing the story of their wrong doing (like people who take turns destroying my sleep some nights) or think of things as discrediting which I definitely do not find discrediting. If you drink beer with the food, do you think you should hide that from either your children or your audience? Me neither. You probably have Bavarian heritage, I was raised partly in Austria.
20:23 I definitely can't tell some drinker in Paris' streets I used to drink too much, because it didn't happen.
It was so far from happening that I'm not even fit to advise any drinker on how to stop.
You recall that Irish writer who said "na, I'm not a writer with a drinking problem, I'm a drinker with a writing problem" ... my own writing problem being so grave, it very much stifled me as a prospective drinker. I never got around to habitually getting drunk.
On healthy definitions, Bavarian and Austrian ones, not Arabic or Swedish ones.
21:43 "sexual sin or addiction"
Sorry, were you a Catholic or into the cult that a Christian Emperor rooted out from Delphi, again?
Addiction, if real, is a weakness, not a sin. However, a habit may or may not be from addiction.
If I had belonged to a religion saying "even a small quantity is forbidden" (which thank God I have not done), drinking a beer per day might be a sign of weakness, for instance the weakness of addiction. But belonging to the Catholic Church, I do not think it is sinful to get very slightly tipsy if that wasn't the main reason, I do not think it is sinful to get a heightened tolerance to alcohol, I do not think it's sinful to drink a pint of beer per day, and usually not get tipsy.
Therefore, doing so is not a sign a weakness, and addiction should not even be considered.
But some people read in their tea leaves that someone else is addicted, and some people read it in their own (false) religion and their inability to fathom the Catholic one. Let's briefly touch on cases where some might suspect addiction, like people smoking diverse not very legal things to sleep in the subway. Some of these are people who are being continuously sleep deprived and have a repeated need for some compensation, in my case usually coffee in morning hours and up to past noon. In the case of some others, they are being sleep deprived by people despising as "addiction" the habits they have of getting a douse lasting some hours.

First third of a video by Mr. Zod against CSL as Apologist
Why I called CS Lewis a Garbage Christian Apologist
Mr. Zod Extracurricular | 4 Febr. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rpCDOZK-lk
1:48 Starting the video.
Combativeness doesn't discredit people to me, or to many CSL fans who have also liked Repicheep. However, a term like that, to me, isn't a sign of combativeness, but trying to win by walkover, by deterring undecideds from examining your opponent.
3:14 "everybody, since it came out?"
I think CSL, as an actual scholar of literature, has a bigger overview over what people have been saying about Paradise Lost than you and I.
Now, it is some time since I read his preface to one of the editions, but unless he mentioned and I forgot, or overlooked Pope (whom he was too allergic to), what he said about making Satan sympathetic started with Byron. A good century and a half if not two since the poem.
Perhaps I missed sth, perhaps I misrecalled, perhaps CSL missed Pope (he was under the impression of there being something Satanically arrogant in saying "I must be proud to see, men not afraid of God, afraid of me" ... he was probably rejoicing in heard prayers, like "da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos"), but can you point to someone (including Pope if you know his work better) who agreed with Byron closer to when Milton wrote?
4:21 Simplification doesn't equal garbage.
5:04 My lay XXth C. bastion of Christian thinking is more like Chesterton, Belloc, to some extent Tolkien, and CSL fills in some chinks, but not unimportant ones.
6:56 "silly and juvenile"
Preferable to senile and judgy, perhaps?
He'd have thought it. But what can one expect from a principal ... was it Wyvern or Experiment House?
7:37 Oh, dear ... you will consider this a shortcut then.
We see Sun, Moon, "system Planets" and fix stars move around Earth each day. Closer observation has shown that what we observe is too intricate an order to be credible as purely accidental or following from simple laws of nature only, or rather the causalities described by such laws, and obviously, since Epicure, people haven't really been eager to uphold his theory this is a vortex, nor has a better mechanism of purely mechanistic order been proposed for Geocentrism.
So.
Geocentrism can't be explained without God.
From here, we can reason two ways.
Geocentrism can't be explained without God.
God doesn't exist.
Therefore Geocentrism doesn't hold.
Geocentrism can't be explained without God.
Geocentrism is observed.
Therefore God exists.
8:13 Just to be clear. I have read Narnia, Till We Have Faces, Screwtape Letters, Space Trilogy, The Great Divorce, Pilgrim's Regress.*
Even so, I have the impression to have read at least as much of his Apologetics prose in essay collections.**
On some very few issues, he actually was shoddy, and that's why I credit Tolkien, Chesterton and Belloc more than him. In dismissing Belloc, for instance. Apologetics isn't one of them, except he was sloppy enough in Miracles chapter 3 to pretend that the big story of Evolution (not pepper moths) is sth we know from reason.
8:48 I'm very sorry, but you were sloppy enough to glide from Atheism (in the shape it was known to him back then) to Atheists, as you know them from personal acquaintance now.
I think there is plenty of attestation in 20th C. Atheists' writings on the topic, they thought the Universe didn't have any meaning, unless you shut out the visions about the Cold Death*** of the universe, and concentrated only on Evolution while ongoing. And that wouldn't be assigning meaning to the universe, but to the ecosystem we live in, which is a different affair.
CSL wasn't speaking of AtheisTs, as individuals. He was speaking of the AtheisM he had wholeheartedly held and was therefore familiar with.
8:51 "meaning is made within people's minds"
Ouch. You are playing humpty dumpty. You are redefining words.
And in other words, you are also saying, in a different phrasing, that the universe, being on your view not in or of a mind, has no inherent meaning.
So, you are not really criticising Lewis for speaking untruth about your lot, you are just complaining he doesn't use your phrasing.
9:03 Is understanding about connections you create, or is there an objectively correct understanding, on at least some levels?
If there is no objectively correct understanding, on any level, you have just given up what used to be the claims of science to understand the world we live in correctly. You have also given up logic.
10:18 There is a good way to do presuppositionalism and a bad way.
We don't presuppose Christianity to be true in our premisses for Christianity. But we do presuppose reason to be reason, i e objectively correct, before we use it.
The former would be a circulus in probando. The latter is just what you need in order to reject circulos in probando.
Unlike Hovind Jr. (Erik or Eric?) CSL is doing it the good way.
10:18 bis. Saying "presuppositionalism is a sad place to be" and saying "CSL is a garbage Christian apologist" is pretty much the same thing.
a) It's the same form of dismissiveness.
b) through Miracles, a preliminary study, CSL and presuppositionalism are closely connected.
CSL does presuppositionalism on reason and morals in Mere Christianity and in Miracles, and at least on morals once again in Abolition of Man. It is I think also at least strongly hinted at in The Problem of Pain. Years since I read these, but still.
9:50 (returning to)
"if you break it down"
If you are any thing like intelligent, you can obviously see that CSL's argument is nonsense and the Emperor's new clothes are magnificent.
Like that fictional example of gaslighting, you did however leave the work to the other guys intelligence ... or shame.
No, I do think CSL has a valid point about what kinds of things we can make points about. Especially on Evolutionary assumptions. On your assumption, a universe without visible light would have not developed eyes in any creature. And obviously to all, "light" and "dark" are meaningless to those born blind. Unless they get their sight belatedly through operation or miracle.
10:27 "that God must exist or sth like that"
Thanks for providing an example of the simplification that's really not just glossy, but dishonest.
The full argument would be sth less easy to debunk.
1) Reason cannot evolve. Cannot emerge from evolution. Is not a simple brain movement (or a complicated one, for that matter).
2) Man hasn't always been around.
3) Man's ancestry (yes, he's supposing Evolution to be true, which I disagree with, but which gives an excellent "even from your pov") didn't have reason.
4) Man's existence depends, insofar as Man is reasoning, on an eternal reason, so non-emergent, and supra-human, since we are emergent.
Try debunking that if you like.
10:38 I would rather say, two things.
1) An abstraction, as such, is not a substance.
2) It is however always some aspect of a substance, or of an aspect.
There are guys who feel they are good at handling abstractions while forgetting these. Who think that the abstraction we Christians deal with is anyway just a minor subset or special case.
Yes, compared to algebra with imaginary numbers, classic geometry and arithmetic are indeed special cases insofar as they are directly based in reality. You actually do not escape St. Tommy's "infinitum non est pertransire" by calling him bad at abstractions and you do not escape a conclusion about a First mover by pretending 1 only comes after zero and zero only after minus 1. Reality is a special case insofar as it is actually real. The number line, isn't, unless you speak of "relative numbers" ... it is plus one that is on the other side of minus one around zero and plus one means "one more than" ... but numeric actual amounts are still starting at 1.
10:51 That "thought is generated in our heads" is, not a proven fact, not a well explained theorem, but, rather, a claim on the Atheist side, and one disputed by the Christian side.
The question isn't if the movements can conform to reason. The question is if reason, even as abstraction, can be about those movements. A very different question.
The atheist gets it as "it has to be, since there is nothing over and above that" ...
The problem is, this is logically impossible, it cannot explain the experience that reason is there. In fact, not even as an illusion.

No, I'm NOT Protestant
Ruslan Thought He Dunked on Catholics
Sips with Serra | 5 Febr. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqWOZtnmRD8
2:36 Maybe this will be upcoming, but historically up to a certain date or person ... could be Billy Graham, not sure ... Evangelicals have been pro-choice and pro-contraceptives.
Some have clearly shared more mainline Protestant denominations' stand on being back then pro-sterilisation.
In Canada, a certain time, Amerindians were sterilised, and the hospitals that did that were owned by Calvinists or Methodists, but not the ones owned by Catholics.
And Billy Graham was friends with Fulton Sheen.
10:55 Evangelicals are a late-comer to Protestantism, and excessively Puritan and (to my taste back then, at least) emortional. You know, Dostoyevski vibes.
Back in 1983, I therefore went from non-practising Evangelical to Lutheran, my baptism was in 1984.
But I retained pro-life and creationist views that clearly weren't welcome among those Lutherans.
I converted to Catholicism and could have both. Historical and non-Puritan faith, sobriety about the need to conversion, not hysteria. AND. Pro-life and YEC. Plus, which I hadn't been aware of originally, this was the safest place to believe the Real Presence and the possibility of Absolution, and I converted to believing the Sacrifice of the Mass.
My conversion was to what I would now call the Vatican II sect, but the priest I converted before was a true priest, ordained 1958, well before the new Pontificale.
Among Catholics opposed to Vatican II, of which I'm one, or especially to some post-Vatican II "popes", it is also still perfectly OK (or even required) to be YEC.

- It is not okay for you to deny the legitimacy and authority of the Pope though. That is not Catholic. Vatican 2 is not a sect it is an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church.
To deny the Pope is Protestant, please don't do that
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- @hglundahl
- @JJ-ki6sv Protestantism is not a synonym for "heresy" or "schism", however so much you may find my position either heretical or schismatic.
Protestantism is a specific schism, other than that of Nestorians or that of Caerularius, it is a specific set of errors often combined with those of the Jansenists, but unlike Jansenism also redefining sacraments.
You are either ill-informed (other than about Trads' sensibilities) or ill-willed if you mischaracterise any part of the Trad movement as "Protestantism".
- JJ1789
- @hglundahl Brother, call it what you like, but please don't call it Catholic. To bash and denigrate the Pope is in league with some of the most anti-Catholic of Protestant brothers and sisters. Like them, I hope you come to realize there is nothing good down that path. Schism is grave, and picking out things to judge the Church by that are not central to the faith is a way to end up there. Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia.
Your "true priest" I hope was not teaching this disobedience of his superiors to whom he owes his obedience. If so, like another priest ordained in 1958, Theodor McCarrick, is doing much damage to the faith of many. Lastly, YEC has NEVER been required belief in the Church. Of the things not required, we should not make idols of them. YEC is not central to the gospel in much of any way. We are required to believe that God created each unique human soul, and in his provident hand in all of creation. The specifics do not have to be literal to be true.
It is "Trad" to be with the Church, like my brother Adrian, running this channel.
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- @JJ-ki6sv "Your "true priest" I hope was not teaching this disobedience of his superiors to whom he owes his obedience."
On the contrary, he degraded from obedience, and I watched it.
He had in Spain celebrated Mass on a beach in beach clothing at a volleyball party, because that was what his superiors ordered.
"To bash and denigrate the Pope"
Like I've seen what you'd call "Catholics" call Pope Michael I a mental case. That's denigrating the Pope.
"Schism is grave,"
So, stop going in schism with past Popes, then!
"If so, like another priest ordained in 1958, Theodor McCarrick, is doing much damage to the faith of many."
The victims of McCarrick, certainly a Theistic Evolutionist, are a geat argument against obeying the Vatican II sect. You might recall he had a fairly high position. Wasn't it one Wojtyla who handed it over to him?
"Lastly, YEC has NEVER been required belief in the Church."
Thank you for showing how the loyalty of the Vatican II Sect is based on ignorance in laity and deception from clergy ... or ignorance there too, and therefore sloppiness. A bishop is required to know all of the faith, and so is in breach with his duties if he's that sloppy.
Every Christmas, the Church has been saying in the Latin rite, for centuries, Christ was born 5199 after the Creation, 2957 after the Flood and a few more items, but these two most closely related to a young earth.
There have been certain decades from 1830 to 1920 in which, without any apostasy, two other theories were taught, namely what's called "day-age" and "gap theory" which are today basically only believed by Fundies, but in such a way that they respected the Biblical timeline from Adam and him being the first man.
In 1941, Pius XII gives a half-and-half indirect and therefore not fully magisterial (as in 1950 Humani Generis) free pass for believing Adam had a biological pedigree. That's around the time when the MacCarrick type abuses start, I'd put it down to clergy using that abusive licence no longer worshipping the true God and their passions being a punishment as in Romans 1. These then led to Vatican II, the episcopates who hijacked the council (see Wiltgen) being the same where you had big support for Theistic Evolutionism and were more likely to have problems with the Teddy types you mention.

- Here
- I had an answer comment, then answered it, then saw my answer disappear. I'm giving you the answer I do a second time over.
- JJ1789
- @hglundahl no, the church was decidedly not in schism at Pentecost. Quite the opposite actually. It was small because it had not grown yet. You might say it was like a mustard seed, that could grow into the greatest of trees. Yes that's a good metaphor. Because trees don't turn back into seeds. And the Christ guaranteed the Church's protection
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- @JJ-ki6sv "the church was decidedly not in schism at Pentecost."
From the POV of the Temple? A little more than seven weeks earlier, Caiaphas was God's own last "Pope" for the OT, just as Cephas was now on Pentecost God's own first Pope for the NT.
"It was small because it had not grown yet. ... Because trees don't turn back into seeds."
They are however sometimes reduced to bonsai trees.
Christ asked about the end times "will the Son of Man find faith when He returns?" indicating that the actual Catholics of the end times would be few.
"And the Christ guaranteed the Church's protection"
From a total apostasy or distortion, yes, from a reduction to a few, no.
@JJ-ki6sv You deflected from not just one, but two questions.
A) Did Assisi 1986 and CCC § 283 not happen; B) Did the Church at Pentecost look like a schism? You deflected from the latter by answering it was in fact not in schism, which I agree on.
10:55 bis While he hasn't debunked Catholicism, he has however shown Evangelicals are on some key issues more Catholic than classic Protestant denominations.
I'd count YEC as one of these issues, Pope Michael II would probably agree, Pope Michael I did.
Larry Taunton and Whataboutism
A Response to Tucker Carlson on Israel, Gaza, and Christian persecution.
Larry Alex Taunton | 5 Febr. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmpdRSHJyc4
I would certainly have linked to Allie Beth Stuckey's episode on Nigeria, if either the Nigerian Christian hadn't stated such an atrocious thing as saying "Muslims use women as baby machines", meaning, not only are Nigerian Christians endorsing contraception, but they are even demonising Muslims (and by implication Catholics too) for not doing so. Meaning they aren't really Christians. OR, if I had had the time as in internet access to make a full length comment on her episide, stopping it every two minutes or so to make a comment, collecting them on a post, and posting this with a link.
The people persecuted in a sense "for the name of Christ" would deserve it, even if they are heterodox, the issue of Muslim genocidal guilt in Nigeria isn't doubtful by the statistics he gave.
However, I would also not give them a blanket endorsement, since their doctrine has issues. Just as if a Mormon population in Nigeria were being persecuted, I would not endorse Mormonism while calling this out.
However, the fact that Nigeria has a genocide against Christians doesn't mean Israel doesn't have tendencies like that.
And Christian Palestinians are the fulfilment of Isaias 11, a population that's been in place, of mixed Judaean and Samarian origin, since Acts 2 and Acts 8.
I don't need Tucker Carlson to testify to that, there are Catholic priests in place, and also the Lutheran quasi-priest, Munther Isaac.
Settlers, Jews for Judaism, anti-proselytising laws and so on are doing a miniature of Acts 8:1. Against Hebrews, like back then.
Most of them are also Catholic or Orthodox, and so, despite the schism of 1054 or Vatican II related errors have far less doctrinal issues than the Protestant community in Nigeria.

@RSungenis
Heliocentrism vs. Geocentrism: The Parallax
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nYqgDLwQrKE
In both of the scenarios you envisage, we would "know" (inside the theory) that the star does not move (in relation to the starfield).
That's the proton pseudos, it implies the phenomenon of 1838 (if I recall correctly) is indeed, in correct theorising, an actual parallax.
I do not deny the phenomenon, but good luck proving it's a parallax.
If angels move celestial objects, then parallax / annual aberration / possibly even wobbles would be explicable as partial analyses of the angel doing a liturgic dance, while carrying the star under God's throne.
Unlike the two scenarios you envisage, where we have a side of 2 astronomic units between late December and late June, this an angel moving the star in moral solidarity but physical independence of the Sun would not give a side opposite the narrow angle, therefore not give a triangulation for the distance.
We know the starfield is further away than this little less than one light day, since the two way speed of light between Earth and Voyager, divided by two, is still less than one light day, for both probes.
Other than that, we cannot know the distance to stars; nor their size.
In the original Tychonian system, up to and including Riccioli, the stars are each day (or c. 5 min less than 24 h) doing an orbit around earth.
St. Thomas would have attributed it to God moving the whole primum mobile, Riccioli who knew we hadn't a sequence of solid crystalline spheres down to Earth atmosphere (Tycho had disproved it) attributed it to each angel moving in solidarity.
I think to a Geocentric, the Coriolis effect and Eötvös effect and one more I forget would tend to prove St. Thomas rather than Riccioli, and the answer to absence of solid spheres would be the aether, same as in which light is a wave movement and in which gravitation is a bend.

5 "Priest Scientists" Who Changed the World
The Counsel of Trent | 4 Febr. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dsW-Hdy5_4
Thanks for Frs Zeglen and de Gusmao, hadn't heard of them!
I find Mendel and Steno totally legit.
Steno had by the way quit his scientific career when he became a priest and he was a Flood geologist, so, Young Earth Creationist.
Mendel is giving anti-Evolutionists lots of arguments.
However, Le Maître ? Come on, if his masses were valid, the only way his faith was it too is if his general attention was vapid.
"In the 9:18 early 20th century, the Belgian priest 9:19 and physicist George Le Maître said that 9:22 Einstein's new theory of gravity, 9:24 general relativity, would cause a static 9:26 eternal universe to collapse into 9:28 nothingness."
Excellent point. But wouldn't this have been already true of Newton's gravity, unless (and this is arguably disproven) the universe were also infinite in extension?
I worked out, somewhat laboriously, since I'm no physicist and don't do integral calculus, what would happen to a stationary earth if the Sun circles it each day, just based off gravity.
As long as things were regular (but mathematic regular models don't always mirror reality), Earth would be in a kind of daily orbit around a void the size of Earth.
I don't believe this is the case. I noted also, the initial velocity of Earth in any direction would be ...*
The second after the Sun was created, Earth could have been pulled 5.9 cm towards the Sun. Easy enough for God to stop—and continue stopping up to the present day.
The same is true for the extension of the stars, unless simply the daily rotation is sufficient to keep them off centre (perhaps actually isn't, since centrifugal forces are counted in relation to the aether, but stars every day move with the aether, so stand still in relation to it). And probably God gave each angel of each star the power to keep it up under His throne room.
To a Geocentric, counting on God as mover of the Universe (arguably one possible meaning of "polique rector" in an Ambrosian hymn of evening prayer type) and angels as movers of single heavenly bodies, the theory of a constant expansion is (whichever theory on why be held) superfluous to explain why the universe doesn't collapse.

Sean and John on Apocalypse and Related Themes
Which ones? McDowell and Lennox.
Is Jesus Coming Soon? John Lennox on Revelation and the End of History
Sean McDowell | 2 Dec. 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRBpHxWbhA
6:26 "We're looking at the Churches as lampstands."
Excellent point, Lennox! You have just refuted "remnant living in secrecy or so small that the historic traces disappeared" which was (part of) Luther's theory about the preservation of what he believed people should have believed as opposed to what Catholics actually believed.
That's exactly where God doesn't put a lampstand, under a bushel, that is!
9:22 "Because He's going to be the King"
What do you mean "going to"? He is the King. Reread Matthew 28, the whole passage 16 to 20!
11:43 Looking up chapter 1.
Ioanne, hos emarturesen ton logon tou Theou kai ten marturian Iesou Christou, hosa eiden.
Is this an identification with the author of the Gospel and "as much as he saw" (either in detail or in the summary, "not all the books of the world") is this saying that if John the Servant of Christ Jesus had been at the first Eucharist, he would have given an account?
The thesis of Jean Colson is that the hagiographer is not the Son of Zebedee, but another John, disciple of lesser degree than the 12, who was also a Cohen, and who leaves out the Eucharist, despite including other aspects of the Last Seder, because the Eucharist was when he, the host, left the guests among themselves.
In that case, by the way, in chapter 13, Judas decides the betrayal and leaves before the Eucharist.
16:18 While I don't hold to a generalised opacity of Scripture, that's not meant in Trent Session IV, even if it has been proposed by some Catholic apologists, I think you have made a case that we don't have a complete lucidity of Scripture either. Brought up in one scheme, then they meet another scheme and so on ...
17:36 I suppose that the Apocalypse contains c. 40 visions ("and I saw" / "and I was in the spirit") in a trance state induced by God or by a spiritual exercise, but certainly utilised by God. Probably induced by God too.
I also think it's a mistake of putting their contents on a single timeline.
18:30 Isaias 11, however, can be mapped to the 1st C.
The area where Levantine Christians and later also Muslims coexist with Mitsrahi Jews (of the same origins) did get its Christian unification in the 1st C.
21:14 Well, some chapters absolutely do deal with the entire history. Chapter 20 for instance.
22:00 If John was exiled on Patmos, does that tell you who John's postman to the Churches was?
(Hint, in Greek, it's easy, in ASCII it's impossible to get a gematria of 666 for him).
24:50 The word ἀποδεικνύντα ἑαυτὸν is neither translated or given in the Interlinear as "proclaiming" he is God.
It means showing himself ... technically, if I were telling something about God (preincarnate or incarnate) and I used myself as diagram, "imagine I'm God and this" (whatever) "is" (for instance the Earth or Heaven or whatever), and then I did a gesture with it to illustrate the point, that could be a fulfilment, supposing I did it in the temple of God.
Probably not that easy to get this damnation, probably there has to be some probability of it being misunderstood, but we needn't suppose it has to go as far as a direct and formal proclamation of so and so saying so and so himself is God.
25:03 Well, confer what is said about Tiberius. He doesn't proclaim that Augustus is a god, he shows it, by making a sacrifice to Augustus.
In that case, it was a god in a false pantheon and not done in the actual temple of God, but it is certainly a similar or same spirit to what the man of lawlessness will do.
26:07 The converts in Corinth were not converts from strict Paganism.
And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue 8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized
[Acts Of Apostles 18:7-8]
So, a remnant of the Jews join the then "equivalent" of Noachides (except Noachides are Antichristian in doctrine, so not equivalent, just as their friend Tovia Singer is not equivalent to Crispus).
26:23 "deification of human beings"
Romans 1. But which of these deifications was promoting homosexuality? Well, this was before Antinous, the loverboy of Hadrian, so, I suppose this was about a prior deification of a man.
In late Bronze Age Tiryns, one has found a tholos tomb, and it has no corpse, but it has an altar. Let's say, Hercules had an unhealthy interest in Hylas. And this rubbed off on his worshippers.
The Hercules cult, being from the Bronze Age and personally very relevant to Alexander the Great would also be a good reason why the statue in Daniel 2 has bronze marking the Greek period of empire.
27:36 I must admit that I was arguably wrong on Antipope Bergoglio being the False Prophet, despite BERGOGLIO adding up to 666 in ASCII. He died, for real, and neither returned as a zombie nor was raised by Henoch or Elias, to mimic the resurrection of Christ, so, he is arguably not one of the two men alive being thrown into the Lake of Fire while alive.
28:31 Howeversomuch 666 is a number appropriately symbolising man, which it can well be, or humanism, man when exaggerating humanity in separation or rebellion against God, it is the number of a man.
Arithmos gar anthropou, not arithmos gar
You cannot say Greek anthropos without article equals English man without definite article, since in English one usage thereof is man collectively, all men past, present and future, as in "man has transformed the surface of the earth" ... but in Greek this would at least warrant an article "ho anthropos metamemorphe ton prosopon tes ges" ... I would arguably even use the definite plural "hoi anthropoi metamemorphesan ton prosopon tes ges" ...
Excuse me if I got the perfect indicative of metamorpheo wrong (yes, I did, and I don't know what it really is), but you get the point. I quit the Greek studies in 1993, and despite looking at Nestle Ahland and interlinear in recent years, my Greek is still rusty.
[μετᾰμεμόρφωκε(ν) / μετᾰμεμορφώκᾱσῐ(ν), thank you wiktionary]
29:21 I wouldn't say it has gone bad — when Rome was crumbling, given "ho katekhon" was seen as the Roman Emperor, withdrawn from England, withdrawn from Gaul, replaced in 476, Constantinople seemed like backpaddelling, St. Remigius and Sts. Clothildis and Genevieve very probably thought the man of sin was around the corner.
This didn't go bad, it resulted in Francia ... in modern terms, France, N. Italy, Germanies (note the plural), non-German parts of Switzerland too, Bohemia and Moravia = Czechia, BeNeLux. With Poland and Hungary (within which Slovakia) eventually as closely associated therewith, as the Philippines or Puerto Rico with the USA.
32:55 If it's genuine prophecy, our Lord knew about this age.*
Obviously, yes. Hence, for instance, St. John can have seen Latin block letters correspond to ASCII code.
God also knew everything about any kind of stone age. Whether pre-Flood stone age populations (like Neanderthals) or the early post-Flood generalised stone age (roughly Upper Palaeolithic, ending at or slightly before Babel).
35:06 AI can't understand anything.
That's why it's evil to give it power. I've heard Ukraine has used AI modelling to gain an advantage in the war. And while AI cannot understand, it can in some sense "make prediction models" and perhaps even express them by attached robotics or a man obeying it. Much as I think Ukraine is right and Russia wrong, I don't hold to all the methods of Zelenskyy.
39:33 That advice**, without having heard it, I applied to masks and vaccines, and as vaccination certifications have been given on phone apps (typically held in the right hand), I avoid phones too.
42:07 John 21:21 is actually a reason for Jean Colson's thesis.
Of the son of Zebedee, Jesus had already prophecied that he was going to be martyred. Matthew 20:20 ff.
42:40 "when I die, I will be with the Lord"
If you die in Christ. Time to get Catholic?
44:41 Christ reigning in the future is a big theme in all of Scripture, you said.
Where do you find "future" about the reign in Matthew 28:16 to 20? That is, about it's beginning.
45:32 St. Augustine said the millennium stands for a period we cannot know the exact limits of. It began "in AD 33" (reservations about the exact year).
And if the saints in heaven are on average reigning one thousand years (like the average between St. Stephen and someone dying recently and going to Heaven, pretty close to right now), then the end may well be very near.
46:02 He told them it was not for them to know.***
But they restored the unity and interior peace of Israel in their lifetime. First Church in Jerusalem, second in Samaria.

Or from our standpoint, will have happened ...

Canterbury c. 600, Tours c. 800, Revisited
How did the Anglo-Saxons pronounce Latin?
Graham Scheper | 27 Jan. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz2YeDcnlVo
Noting that the C in prinCipio is like Italian C before I, but in luCet, it's a K.
Probably correct. Italian missionaries in 600 would have used the "Italian" pronunciation, Old English had C pronounced the same in cyrice and cyning in dialects, but perhaps less of it after the main stress if not before a subsidiary stress.
6:41 "has no native speakers"
If you know katherevousa, but are not from Fanar, are you a native speaker of katharevousa because you are so of dhimotiki?
The point is, Old English Latin would have descended from the Latin of the missionaries of St. Gregory, ie Augustine of Canterbury and Paulinus of York.
Now, in Rome, Latin in the Biblical sense would have very probably had a similar pronunciation to "pre-proto-Italian" and differred from it as katharevousa from dhimotiki, which up to 1970 was a change in register, within the same speech of the same community.
Because this 600-ish Italian pronunciation was transmitted to non-native speakers (unlike what Augustine and Paulinus were), it got frozen in time, along with perhaps some simplifications (-um no longer nasal vowel or -o, but -u-m each letter pronounced, which they hadn't been since before Plautus among natives).
By c. 800, this is therefore doubly more classical and international than the vernacular Latin (yes) in what can now be called France or at least Frankish Kingdom (Frankenreich, if not Frankreich). a) It's two centuries older and b) Italy even in 600 was far more conservative than France in 600.
When this becomes the new standard of Latin in Tours, Latin is no longer vernacular, no longer comprehensible to the non-specialists, and the previous vernacular Latin in its lower registers is relabelled (813) "lingua romana rustica".

One Italian had a visit in France and wondered if a child had been validly baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost or invalidly replacing Daughter for Son. Obviously the guys pronounced "filii" and "filiae" pretty close to each other.
That's the background to importing a more intelligible Latin from England.

Protestant Finds 2 Demonic Things in Orthodoxy

Speaking of the Church, I invite you to submit to Pope Michael II, successor of St. Peter, bishop of the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul.
[She did not die for our sins.]
5:42 However, She suffered, for our sins, the pain of seeing Her Beloved Son die.
His sacrifice is sufficient and beyond payment. But Her's is a plea worthy to be heard.
If She didn't aid in our redemption, why did not just Elisabeth, but before She was even pregnant with God, the angel say, She had basically killed Satan?
Blessed art thou among women. Holy Spirit shall come over thee.
How was She accorded a military award, like Jael and Judith, if She had not in Herself already redemption and that was already, basically, killing Satan?
You see, "blessed among women" was said to only two women before Her. They had killed Sisera and Holophernes.
I believe this confirms the reading of St. Jerome in Genesis 3:15. Ipsa conteret. She shall crush thy head.

6:31 Plus Our Lady is not currently dead. After the Dormition, She was raised body and soul to Heaven.
7:32 How about this:
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth
[Apocalypse (Revelation) 6:9-10]
And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand And he laid hold on the dragon the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years And he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should no more seduce the nations, till the thousand years be finished. And after that, he must be loosed a little time And I saw seats; and they sat upon them; and judgment was given unto them; and the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not adored the beast nor his image, nor received his character on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years The rest of the dead lived not, till the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection
[Apocalypse (Revelation) 20:1-5]
So, the ladies and gentlemen that the Protestant refers to as "dead" are in fact enjoying the first resurrection. Already from their lifetime, last time they were justfied, or, for Our Lady, from Her conception. She also has the final resurrection, not just the first one.
7:44 I really don't think any Catholic or Orthodox visited a voodoo medium to ask Mary or the other saints for intercession.
What the law of Moses actually forbids, we see how the ghost of Samuel is condemning Saul for visiting that Witch (or Medium) of Endor.
9:20 sth, "the only people who prayed to dead people" — Did he say "only"?
The Rich man directed prayers to Abraham, who has died and is so far waiting for the Resurrection.
He was not rebuffed for that, but for his request being for himself (a damned man) or his brothers (whom Abraham knew already would be damned).

Rieckert Defends Prevost Wrong
Orthodox Apologist Accuses Pope Leo Of Heresy... Then This Happens

[You have dogma A which 3:21 evolves into dogma B which moves into 3:23 dogma C, etc., etc. That's not what the 3:26 church teaches.]
Trent Session V. The first three canons are very relevant:
1. If any one does not confess that the first man, Adam, when he had transgressed the commandment of God in Paradise, immediately lost the holiness and justice wherein he had been constituted; and that he incurred, through the offence of that prevarication, the wrath and indignation of God, and consequently death, with which God had previously threatened him, and, together with death, captivity under his power who thenceforth had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil, and that the entire Adam, through that offence of prevarication, was changed, in body and soul, for the worse; let him be anathema.
2. If any one asserts, that the prevarication of Adam injured himself alone, and not his posterity; and that the holiness and justice, received of God, which he lost, he lost for himself alone, and not for us also; or that he, being defiled by the sin of disobedience, has only transfused death, and pains of the body, into the whole human race, but not sin also, which is the death of the soul; let him be anathema:–whereas he contradicts the apostle who says; By one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death, and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
3. If any one asserts, that this sin of Adam,–which in its origin is one, and being transfused into all by propagation, not by imitation, is in each one as his own, –is taken away either by the powers of human nature, or by any other remedy than the merit of the one mediator, our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath reconciled us to God in his own blood, made unto us justice, santification, and redemption; or if he denies that the said merit of Jesus Christ is applied, both to adults and to infants, by the sacrament of baptism rightly administered in the form of the church; let him be anathema: For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be [Page 23] saved. Whence that voice; Behold the lamb of God behold him who taketh away the sins of the world; and that other; As many as have been baptized, have put on Christ.
CCC § 283
The question about the origins of the world and of man has been the object of many scientific studies which have splendidly enriched our knowledge of the age and dimensions of the cosmos, the development of life-forms and the appearance of man. These discoveries invite us to even greater admiration for the greatness of the Creator, prompting us to give him thanks for all his works and for the understanding and wisdom he gives to scholars and researchers. With Solomon they can say: "It is he who gave me unerring knowledge of what exists, to know the structure of the world and the activity of the elements... for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me."
Note, Trent calls Adam "the first man" ... any Homo erectus, any Neanderthal and any Denisovan we find, but also anyone looking more closely like ourselves (Homo sapiens sapiens) is, descended from Adam. Unfortunately it is all too clear that CCC § 283 is not referring to studies by Ken Ham or Robert Carter (if only because they came into the game later than 1992, perhaps not totally true for Ken Ham, however, before the internet he was hardly known in Rome, Krakow or Munich).
[The teachings aren't 3:53 dynamic in so far as they change from, 3:55 well, we used to think Jesus was fully 3:57 divine, but we don't think that anymore. 3:59 Of course not. That would be absolute 4:00 heresy.]
How about, "we used to believe Mary and Jesus were prophecied in a setting literally and historically depicted in Genesis 3, before any human person other than Adam and Eve were alive, but we don't believe that anymore"?
Jimmy Akin feels this is not obligatory, an "Assumptionist" in Paris assured in his paper, before 100,000's of readers, that Adam and Eve never existed like I and you exist, as real, concrete human persons.
There is a slight shade of distinction between person, as required by Trent V, and personification, as Sébastien Antoni preferred.
4:51 Have you heard of the Jewish division of mitsvoth? Rabbis are wrong to think they apply as they did in Moses' time, but the positive mitsvoth, things to do at least once in your life, are the number (or reputed such) of bones in a body. However, negative mitzvoth are 365, because those things must be avoided every day of the year.
Eating rabbit had to be avoided every day of the year up to Golgatha. The symbolism which applies is, we cannot ourselves be like rabbits, "chewing the cud" (the Hebrew word means lifting up, doesn't specify which way) like meditating, but doing so with a "meat" (St. Paul actually uses the word for doctrine, while some doctrine is "milk") which walks on other things than fully cloven hooves (symbolising the two testaments), in this case has some kind of "fingers" clearly more than two (symbolising polytheism).
Your example of the basket ball player is about "things to do" (definitely not all of them at once). But doctrine and morals are partly about things to avoid every day, including error, so things to believe every day have to stay the same. Just like the rich man who had kept the commandments from childhood did not eat rabbit meat even once (prior to later joining the Christians, if Damien Mackey is right about his identity). It was not "oh, today I can eat rabbit, because it's pork I'm avoiding today" ...
Recall, St. Thomas states the OT mitzvoth were symbolic of our Christian duties, and the dietary rules specifically about faith and prayer life. The one animal with fully cloven hooves (two testaments) that is to be avoided is the pork that doesn't "chew the cud" (i e meditate). Good reason to pray the Rosary, but not a good reason to defend Prevost.
5:35 Humanae Vitae promotes NFP in the counterprocreative use.
However, one OT rule about sexual purity between spouses imposes the opposite monthly rhythm to that use of NFP. And St. Thomas says that if it is in the NT just a venial sin to come together in weeks forbidden in the OT (under pain of stoning), it's because NFP as contraceptive is not a guaranteed one. NFP would involve a mortal if denying the spouse intercourse in response to a previous agreement on NFP.

Has Trump / ICE ~ Venezuela ... Contributed to Apostasy?
Catholicism is collapsing in Latin America, and young people are leading the charge
Friendly Atheist | 28 Jan. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDHHQe9VWls
11:47 US American Catholics have a tendency to compromise religion in the political sphere.
I think the party closest to Catholicism right now (assuming Nick Fuentes has no actual party) is Solidarity Party. They have three elected officials in the US, none of these being states or federal legislatures or governors, just local politicians.
Peter Sonski attained 47,070 votes for president of the United States, comprising 0.03% of the total votes cast. Sonski did best in states where he was on the ballot, with Ohio being his best state.
They had ballot access in seven states, and could be written in in most others.
Here is how he started the campaign:
In January 2024 Catholic News Agency interviewed Sonski in which he said that he wants to "provide a means for Catholics to vote in accord with the conscience, rather than just for the 'lesser of two evils.'"[13] Crisis Magazine also published an interview, conducted by Fr. Dwight Longenecker, which describes how Sonski "was born into a blue-collar Catholic family and went on to work in agriculture, insurance, journalism, and public relations."[14]
I only heard of him after Trump had won. On my blogs, I promoted Trump on pro-life issues, while (once in a blue moon) cautioning against his immigration policy, which I thought could not be effected properly and was likely to spark unrest.
Now given the interview, the words cited on wiki indicate, American or rather Usonian Catholics have a history of voting for the lesser of two evils. It was often Democrats given Republicans weren't actually pro-life, that changed with Trump, first election, I'm still happy about Dobbs.
The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as socially conservative and economically progressive.[12] The ASP encourages social development along the lines of subsidiarity and sphere sovereignty, with a stated emphasis on "the importance of strong families, local communities, and voluntary associations".[13] The party adheres to a consistent life ethic, opposing abortion, assisted suicide, capital punishment, euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy, and unjust war. They support universal healthcare, immigration, and welfare.[14] It favors fiscally progressive policies,[10][15][16] as well as a social market economy with a distributist character,[17][18] which seeks "widespread economic participation and ownership",[18] and providing a social safety net program.
12:43 We are not on the same line here.
I consider The Great Apostasy is usshering in the rule of the Antichrist.
15:01 I think Atheism is in Sweden rolling back a bit in favour of "spiritual but not religious" ...

After receiving more than 220,000 applications to join ICE from patriotic Americans, ICE blew past its original hiring target of 10,000 new officers and agents within a year. In fact, we have more than doubled our officers and agents from 10,000 to 22,000. With these new patriots on the team, we will be able to accomplish what many say was impossible and fulfill President Trump’s promise to make America safe again.

I'm ready to Talk about the Minneapolis Situation
Metatron | 26 Jan. 2026

This has been said over and over again:
"Minnesota does not ban lawful carry at protests"
Possibly the agent was from a state where this was not the case.
I'm reminded of a black man being arrested for carrying a gun in one of the South States. It turns out, he had a licence, and he was from Missouri, a former French colony, with less of a racist heritage than some English ones, where a black man having a licence is perfectly normal. That was a few years ago.
Perhaps if DHS was going to monitor the protest, they should have been told and be telling every agent, "lawful carry, even at a protest, is not a threat" ...
- E Dennis
- @edennis8578
- He actually wasn't lawfully carrying. It's illegal to carry at a protest without also bringing your permit and ID; he had neither.
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- @hglundahl
- @edennis8578 It is quite possible he had, and they subtilised those items to cover up for the killing.
It is also quite possible that you are misrepresenting the law of Minnesota.
20:11 How many shots were heard?
If only one shot was heard, it was the one that killed him. But if more than one, it's still possible that already the first one was deliberately aimed at him.
It could be mentioned that if Alex Pretti's own gun incidentally went off, that would be probably testable.
Hence the subpoena for federals not to tamper with evidence.
- lasko24
- @lasko24
- From what I could tell in the video the agents had him down trying to cuff him another agent appears to take something and started walking away. Then as he was a few steps away other agents started running so that was where the first shot happened right after that is when the agent pulled his gun and shot Pretti. Both deaths are on the far left liberals they are the ones posting videos threatening to kill ICE and border control agents or telling others to do it. Then you have people physically attacking ICE and border control. Then you get situations like these and people act surprised.
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- @lasko24 Thank you for your observations on the video.
...
If we want to look at the broader picture, I don't support ICE.
And while you have a point on how some gestures look to the law enforcement, there is also how the law enforcement looks to the public.
I supported Trump (from my blogs in France) in the election. Sometimes had 700 views per day from the US. When I heard about "mass expulsion" of illegals, I was despondent.
Dollfuss and Schuschnigg certainly deported Czechs back to then Czechoslovakia, probably over Gmünd or sth, but they were batches of industrial workers, men, no families, it was kind of a game on both sides.
Austrian industries could survive without Communist agitators. In this case, many of the technically illegal residents are part of the backbone of agriculture in certain states. A former Mormon who's gone slightly left stated that border crossings increased under Biden only or mainly because Biden increased deportations. For a certain point, a few months back, the deportations by ICE since Trump took over are just 2 times and some of what they were under Biden. Trying to deport people who are part of communities will lead to civil war, unless someone, and I don't mean Waltz, he's not likely to, takes a step back.
In Minnesota, there are arguably fewer people from Latin America. ICE shouldn't have dealt with the Somalians, much as there is a reason to suppose some kind of fraud.
As to immigration from Latin America, the best way to have a safe border is, if that's ever possible, unite the US and Mexico, and the South border of those 81 states would be a shorter stretch in partly rougher terrain, so, easier to patrol. If that happens, every Mexican would automatically be legal, btw.
When it comes to the shooting of Renee, this traumatised ICE agent shouldn't have been back in service. But mainly, the proper way for safe borders is turning suspicious people and transports around at the border not letting police roam the streets "sicut leo rugiens quaerens quem devoret" ...

Whether this Republican applies this correctly to the Pretti killing or not, this is useful information:
7:04 If you want to carry, you must avoid 7:06 confrontation. If you want to film, you 7:08 must avoid interference with lawful 7:11 operations. If you want to protest, you 7:14 must avoid impedment. 7:17 Those aren't my political opinions. 7:19 Those are the laws of our land.
