Everyone in hell has this ONE personal characteristic.

3:18 Sorry, but "narcissism" is a category of modern psychology.
It is also non-univocal, since some reserve it about toxic narcissism, breaking someone else down while manipulating them, others use it for any narcissism, including a strong streak of vanity, which in St. Thomas is a usually venial form of pride.
[Fortunately, this was not what McDonald meant. He specifically stated the contrary.]
11:57 Praying the Rosary and forgiving sins against me is a thing I know helps, according to Jesus' words.
I was able to do that, despite persecution up to 2014, if as much.
I am harrassed by people who think it's their duty to change me, their duty to make me see my sins, I end up seeing theirs.
We do not have the same Pope.
One of at least has the wrong Pope, hope that's involuntarily, not due to lack of due diligence. Pope Michael I was considering whether he should authorise going to confession to priests of the SSPX, who have certain Apostolic succession. He positively defined the episcopal lineages of:
- some Old Catholics
- Duarte Costa
- Mgr Lefebvre
- Thuc
as valid, and I presume this means Western rite, not that he in any way denied the validity of at least traditional ordinations and consecrations of the Eastern rite. The current Pope got his apostolic succession from the Orthodox, before reconciling to Pope Michael I, so presumably at least Orthodox clergy (apart from named branches of the Latin rite) have valid orders.
Before I can repent of my sins, I need some to repent of what they have done to me. When everything I have so far done is rendered stupid by their interference, everything I could do instead is also stupid. And before you say "if someone persecutes you in one city" ... for how many times? How often do I need to destabilise the good I'm after all doing, in order to avoid evil, that's following my footsteps in the name of "saving me" ...?
