The real reason any Catholics have the temerity to defend clothing that a prostitute would have blushed to wear a few generations ago is because their priests are too cowardly to give sermons about what real Catholic modesty is.
And, yes, they will give an account for it.
The Marylike Modesty Standards are real.
-The dress’ neckline must be at most two fingers’ breadth below the base of the neck;
-The dress’ sleeves must reach the elbow;
-The dress must extend to at least the knees;
-Flesh-colored stockings, blending into the skin, are not to be worn.

Imagine taking shots at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and then blaming the alcoholic who subsequently relapses.
I have brought this point up many times, but a response is never given.
Can someone find an EO willing to respond?
In your reading, Christ (Mt 19) says a marriage can be dissolved for only a single reason: Adultery.
Can you name any EO jurisdiction which believes that this is the sole reason for dissolution?

"Catholics, in particular, need to flock to and support parishes that offer true spiritual food and nourishment. The church, the coffee hour, and the classical school are the three pillars upon which a sane Christian civilization can survive the 21st century."
This quoted post is unavailable.
How can we justify sending money and missions abroad while our our cities are almost entirely outside of the Faith?
Catholics are called to support World Mission Sunday this weekend. Does anybody out there know of an official Catholic religious order that actually does missionary work (as opposed to social work)?

Q. 1: Is it a universal or a particular judgement? You have to ask whether particular conditions/circumstances enter into the judgement. E.g., "abortion should be outlawed" is a univesal judgement, whereas "these legislators ought to implement this anti-abortion legislation" is a particular judgement.
Q. 2: Does the particular have a necessary connection with the universal? You have to ask whether the universal can be maintained even without the particular. E.g., "abortion should be outlawed" cannot be maintained with the particular judgement of "this pro-abortion legislation should be voted on by a Catholic politician."
Important to note in the distinction between the first and second instance of a particular is that the first is positive and the second negative. *Usually* when you have the case of a necessary connection with a particular judgement, it is a case of forbidding a particular act rather than advocating for a particular act. Yet, this does not occur vice versa especially in the case of things that are neither intrinsically immoral or moral per se, but only in relation to its circumstances.
Hence, with issues like the Death Penalty, Immigration, etc., where they are neither immoral nor moral per se it is quite frequent and almost universal that the particular judgement will almost necessarily be bound up with particular circumstances (since these circumstances are what render it moral/immoral), whereas with issues that are either immoral or are moral per se, it is quite frequent that the negative judgement will be necessarily connected with the universal and the positive judgement will not. Although, there are exceptions imo.
Really we should never try to undercut Protestants and Orthodox who are preaching in the public sphere.
When you embarrass the Protestant on the stage, you make Christianity look man-made, disorganized, etc.
Keep intra-Christian disputes out of the sights of pagans and atheists.
AMERICAN PROTESTANTISM CRUMBLES IN THE FACE OF BASIC BIBLICAL ORTHODOXY
@askcliffe is, once again, silencing Orthodox Christians tearing down the veil of his astroturfed and ignorant theology…
Could this be why Orthodoxy is taking over the United States?

Some Orthodox, Oriental or Eastern, implicitly believe that "Invisibility" is a Mark of the Church.

On Catholic Action
Catholic Action refers to "all organized movements of the lay apostolate recognized as such, nationally or internationally, either by the bishops on a national level or by the Holy See for movements desiring an international status."
-Guiding Principles Of The Lay Apostolate
Pope Pius XII - 1957
"Many are Called—Few Chosen 1. We must now add that all the laity is called to take part in Catholic Action. This is like the vineyard in the gospels, wherein all the workmen were invited to labour (Matt. xx. 1-16). There is not one Catholic who can exempt himself with the excuse that “ No one has hired us.” The father ofthe family, Jesus Christ, in the person of His Vicar, has invited all—“ Go ye also into my vineyard.” The excluded, the unemployed, have none but themselves to blame"
-Manual of Catholic Action, 1935, Father Luigi Civardi, page 51
A question for you: Are you committed to Catholic Action?
