really fruitful (pun intended) discussion about procreation.

Pro-Life must also be obedient to the Author of Life. When you embrace the shortcut IVF provides, you participate in the commodification of children and the silent sacrifice of the many to secure the survival of the few. Heatherschott | The 1916 Project

What’s the deal with these robes that priests wear for Mass? Why not just a suit or a cassock? All these garments are actually trying to tell you something… First is the AMICE. This small cloth represents the “Helmet of salvation” (Ephesians 6:17) and spiritual protection. Second is the ALB. This white garment reminds us of our baptismal purity, and refers back to what Christ wore standing before Pilate. Next is the CINCTURE. This cord worn at the waist reminds us of chastity to which we are all called, and readiness to serve. After this is the STOLE. This long strip symbolizes the “yoke of Christ” that we bear in dispensing the Sacraments to those we serve. Finally, over everything, we wear the CHASUBLE, a word that means ‘little house.” As the outermost vestment which covers all, the chasuble symbolizes Christian charity, which should cover all else. (Colossians 3:14) So here’s the point: these vestments all convey a theological aspect of Jesus Christ. By wearing them, we are visually communicating that the priest is acting in persona Christi, that is, in the person of Christ, at the altar during Mass. It is not by our own power that the bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of Christ, and that the other Sacraments are effetice, but by the power of Christ, who is High Priest and King of Kings.

Luther didn’t just challenge Rome—he altered Scripture. He admitted adding “only” to Romans 3 in his German translation, saying: “Tell them Dr. Martin Luther has deemed it fitting.” But here’s the issue: If truth is subjective, and men can edit the Word, then where is the authority Christ promised? If the Catholic Church isn’t true—then Christ’s promise in Matthew 16 failed. And we know He doesn't fail. #CatholicFaith #ChurchAuthority #ScriptureAndTradition #LutherExposed #DrMarcusPeter
