@ElMoriscoRicote Great Question! Raymond Brown is always a good place to start. His seminal “Intro to the New Testament,” says that the mark of the beast is a reference to Nero. And that that chapter is really about emperor worship. (Page 793)

I cannot emphasize enough that vaccinations do not constitute the mark of the beast, as some marginal right-wing fundamentalist pseudo-Catholics are claiming in order to dupe the faithful into giving them more money. No reasonable #Catholic exegesis of #Apocalypse holds this.

@fraudnald @TaylorRMarshall Well he’s actually a Protestant. That is some straight up Karl Barth level reformed thinking and it’d be fine if he didn’t claim to be more Catholic than the Pope. As it is @TaylorRMarshall can’t have his cake and eat it too, he never really converted.

@MiltonJBravo @Pamela_Yap @TaylorRMarshall Hahah, I’ve already been blocked by him. Sadly he’s not capable of defending his absurd positions and so he simply blocks anyone who would dare criticize him. Being blocked by a xenophobic thief isn’t the worst thing, it likely helps put you on the right side of eternity.

Further, wouldn’t the genuine manifestation of real love, which is the least wrong way to describe the nature of God, bring children to the reality through which they were created? Don’t @ me, Taylorit’s, I’ve to say mass & do real theological work. I won’t waste time on nonsense

Wherein @TaylorRMarshall reveals himself a poor philosopher by dealing in false dichotomies. Wouldn’t getting each other to heaven and raising Godly offspring result in feeling love? This is silliness. St. John Paul II will have some words for you my friend. https://t.co/TbGhgcrhOn

The end of #SNL was actually a weirdly poignant tribute to a life that we might not ever really get back to in our lifetimes in the great cities of the world. I hope I’m wrong, but I think we’ll always live with the collective trauma of this moment.
