A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Oh, I doubt they were sitting on anything. This just stinks of the typical way TacoDon jettisons people from his orbit. Give them a taste of the smear and then see if they require you to smear them more before they stfu and go away.

Musk was supposed to step back a month ago. Maybe he needed a little push.

Even Musk cannot get off his tits enough to ride his own rocket.

The theological differences may only be observable in an episcopal seminary. Episcopal priests can become catholic priests with no additional study or magic.

The differences are differences in tradition and culture (female priests, divorce) and not regarding theology (salvation, nature of god, etc).

Exactly.

You may be right; I’m no theologian and only comment on this stuff from the cheap seats. I was trying to say that the styles of worship are very similar while a good amount of their beliefs - LGBT issues, ordaining women, transubstantiation, papal authority, the need for an authoritative catechism, exclusivity of communion, confession, Mary as an intercessor, etc. - differ. If lumping all of that under ā€œtheologyā€ is incorrect then I’ll concede the point.

Did any of yall know that ā€œHouston Baptist Universityā€ is now ā€œHouston Christian Uā€? Because of more inclusive student reasons? I didn’t either.

Mr. Waldo i am a daoist quaker satanist. From my viewpoint episcopals and catholics are very much playing the same cosplay game. Purely as a matter of preference, i think rome plays it better. What is and isn’t theology is up to my betters to dispute.

Still…schism among the protestants is THE feature, not a bug.

I knew that, but thought it was strictly about drawing in more students. They thought Baptist was too limiting, at least that’s what I heard.

This is real.

It’s also as horrific as it seems when taken in context. It was a response to a constituent worried about losing their access to healthcare.

Even the Baptist churches are taking ā€œBaptistā€ out of their name, trying to come across as non-denominational while remaining members of the Southern Baptist Convention.

It’s almost as if that was all opportunistic bullshit.
