QUESTION 35 — THE IMAGE 1. Is the Word “Image” a personal name in God? 2. Is it a name proper to the Son? Article 1 — Is the Word “Image” a personal name in God? Objections: 1. The book De fide ad Petrum speaks of “the one deity and image of the Trinity, that image after which man was made.” This means that “image” is an essential attribute, and not a personal name. 2 . S. Hilaire defines the image thus: “It is the exact species of the thing that it represents. ” Species or form, this is indeed an essential attribute in God. It is therefore the same for “image”. 3. Image derives from imitate; and this denotes an order of priority of the model on the image. But there is no order of priority among the divine Persons. It is therefore that in God the Image is not a personal name. On the contrary , S. Augustine writes: “To claim that image is an absolute term, what could be more absurd? ” In other words, “image” is attributed in God as a relative term. It is therefore a personal name.

The soul should be solely the dwelling place of God. It is inseparable from our Lord Jesus Christ . By throwing God out you will not fill it with anything but emptiness which will slowly destroy you Your mind will become dulled you will not be able to analyse correctly what is truth and what is a lie. You become like a sponge taking in all the sewage of this world, until eventually evil will begin to pour out of you, like the venom of a snake ready to destroy anyone who thinks differently. No, it is not true that Satan can take over someone’s soul, this is firstly impossible because it is the property of God, and secondly Satan despises humans so to dwell in a person’s soul would be a humiliation for him. Yes, contempt for man causes Satan to want to trample us like vermin. Man without God in his soul becomes a mindless creature that needs to be fed and then he will do whatever he is told.

“Every home art and craft has come back into vogue: sourdough starters, gardening, knitting, homesteading, sewing, and interior design. Americans spend billions of dollars on our homes not just so they can be beautiful, but in the little-recognized hope that they can become sanctuaries, places that nourish, comfort, and embrace those who live in them. But the physical home cannot do these things on its own. It needs a homemaker.”

On 28 April, in the parish of Our Lady of the Rosary, known as the Sanctuary of Santa Terezinha, in Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil, a priest disrespected a faithful and refused him Communion (video below). The communicant was kneeling. Rev. Silvio José Dias tried to force the faithful to receive the Communion with his hands, but the layman refused to touch the Body of Christ [Noli me tangere" / "Do not touch me" Jn 20:17]. As a result, the disrespectful priest denied him Communion and turned around. The Archdiocese of São Paulo told Metropoles.com (16 May) that a member of the faithful who is in a state of grace has a "right" to receive Communion. "In situations where there is a risk of the Eucharist falling or being desecrated, such as in large crowds, it is recommended that Communion not be distributed in the hand". The archdiocese added that in "exceptional circumstances", such as a "health emergency", a bishop may allow grabbing Communion with the hand [as if this were "more hygienic"]. …More

In a meeting with 800 priests and religious in the Basilica of San Zeno during his visit to Verona on 18 May, Francis once again promoted formalism by calling for cheap absolution after an empty confession. He overlooked the fact that confession has virtually died out after Vatican II precisely because of such formalism. "Confession should not be a torture," he said, as if anyone had ever claimed it was. Then Francis, who is known to be vindictive and unforgiving, added: "Please forgive everything" and "forgive without making them suffer" - something Francis himself has never done since he has been running the Vatican. If the priest doesn't understand what the penitent is saying, he should go on, because "the Lord understands", Francis said, revealing a magical understanding of confession. Francis recalled a cardinal, a confessor [Cardinal Luis Pasqual Dri OFMcap, 96], who, when someone "had difficulty saying things", would tell the penitent: "Go on. I didn't understand, but God understood …More

Since this man is monumentally conceited and political, he may want to be buried there so he will be segregated from other popes and a cult could more easily be formed around him, with the location of his body becoming a pilgrimage site for all his fellow non-believing “Catholic” fans, and they could be inspired to continue their yet unfinished goal of dismantling the Church.

A ‘plague’ comes before the fall: lessons from Roman history By Colin Elliott | May 15, 2024 A ‘plague’ comes before the fall: lessons from Roman history - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (thebulletin.org) The ruins of the Colosseum in Rome. Credit: Livioandronico2013. CC BY-SA 4.0. Share The Pax Romana—the 200-year “golden age” of the Roman Empire—was a marvel of diversity, connectivity, and unchallenged hegemony. By the middle of the second century AD, imperial Rome ruled territory across three different continents. Roughly one-quarter of the Earth’s population, some 60 million people, lived under Rome’s vast aegis, and the emperors of the age—most notably Marcus Aurelius—enjoyed the consent of those they governed. The Empire’s elites—witnessing the disciplined legions, widespread religiosity, cultural efflorescence, and dominant economy—likely expected their world order to endure forever. In the year 166 AD, however, seemingly eternal Rome was caught completely off-guard as a …More

While I am doing mosaics for Glory of God, I seem to be visited by every Tom Dick and Harry ever imaginable from both sides of the fence. So here is my food for thought. The extreme radical Novus Ordo disdain the Traditional Roman Church, just as much as the other way around. …….. and that’s ok, it was certainly like that during the time of Christ. The Novus Ordo call the Traditionalist a bunch of hypocrites. Well, I began to think about this, since I have plenty of time to think while placing each piece one at a time. As a calm balanced discussion, Why is it that the righteous group ……. rather all of the righteous groups including children do not fast every Wednesday and Friday? Why do not all these groups including children fast everyday for forty days during Lent and forty before Christmas? The Oriental Orthodox do. They ensure the entire family is near to Christ. Why also is it permitted to eat pork and shell fish, as it is law in the Old Testament? These are strict prohibitions in …More

"Why also is it permitted to eat pork and shell fish, as it is law in the Old Testament?" --- Because Catholics are not judaizing heretics. Cf. e.g. Pope Eugene IV & Council of Florence - Decree for the Jacobites: "The holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and preaches that every creature of God is good and not to be rejected if it is taken with thanks. According to the Lord’s word, a man is not defiled by what enters his mouth. The Church affirms that the distinction made by the Mosaic Law between clean and unclean foods belongs to the ceremonial laws which have passed away with the coming of the Gospel... So it declares that no kind of food is to be condemned which human society regards as food, and no distinction is to be made between animals on the basis of gender or the manner of their death. However many things which are not forbidden may and should be given up for the health of the body, the practice of virtue, and regular Church discipline. As the Apostle says: ‘All things …More
I cancelled my National Trust subscription years ago over the Felbrigg Hall LGBT scandal. 'Hundreds' of National Trust members quit in protest over gay pride campaign They are nothing more now than agents of social change and political correctness. There is a toothless pressure group called 'Restore Trust' who are trying to restore the National Trust to its real mission. But they are going about it the wrong way. They expect you to remain National Trust members and work for change from the inside. Well, it hasn't worked so far. I would ignore them and if you do subscribe to National Trust, cancel your membership immediately. Lack of money and lack of customers are the only things that will bring them to heel.
