News and commentary on Adventism:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Carson, Seventh-day Adventist, tests positive for coronavirus<\/a><\/strong> – Religion News Service<\/em>
It sounds like he has recovered well. Now he would have made a far better US President than any of the others we’ve had run, successfully or not, in the last 15 years. I met him once when he visited South Africa to separate conjoined twins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChanging the Sabbath\u201d and the Antichrist<\/a><\/strong> – Jimmy Akin<\/em>
A good apologetics piece debunking common Adventist arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADRA and Denomination Partner to Tackle COVID Worldwide<\/a><\/strong> – Adventist Today<\/em>
ADRA = Adventist Development and Relief Agency.
Am I in the wrong Catholic circles online? I see so much COVID denialism and pro-death politics on the part of the right wing. Maybe I was conservative and now a lot of conservatives have shifted to the right wing end of the spectrum, leaving me behind. In a massive contrast, I see Adventists taking COVID seriously, with very little conspiracy theory and deep state and great reset nonsense. Am I observing the wrong Adventist circles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News and commentary on Catholicism:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAKE Nuns Making And Selling Quackery, Promoting The Far-Right In The Wilds Of West Cork<\/a><\/strong> – Fiona O’Leary<\/em>
Not authentic Catholicism at all, but rather Bishop Dick Williamson’s anti-Semitic cult. Quack history, quack theology, quack science – and now they have nuns making dangerous quack medicine (black salve) for the treatment of cancer. “SSPX Resistance” has adopted him as their pet bishop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theosis: God’s Plan for Creation<\/a><\/strong> – Henry Karlson<\/em>
I’ve always been a fan of the concept of Theosis, and of Duns Scotus’ idea that the incarnation would have happened even if man had not fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASK FATHER: I bought an icon at a \u201cesoteric new age shop\u201d<\/a><\/strong> – Fr Z<\/em>
I think this at least borders on superstition. See 1 Cor 8. You decide for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Luther\u2019s pandemic advice goes viral \u2014 500 years later<\/a><\/strong> – Religion News Service<\/em>
“Therefore I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine, and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance infect and pollute others, and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. \u2026 See, this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God.\u201d
<\/em>— Martin Luther, 1527
Why are there so many Catholics who can’t see the sense in that? So sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID vaccines are moral to use, say ethicists, Catholic bishops<\/a><\/strong> – Religion News Service<\/em>
A few extremists think otherwise, but there will always be those. Unfortunately the extremists are winning.
“\u2018We have seen the polls looking at how many people are willing to take the vaccines and we\u2019re very concerned the number is much lower than it should be,\u2019 said an ethicist at the Christian Medical & Dental Association.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

News and commentary on the SSPX:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

50 years of the Society of Saint Pius X celebrated in Johannesburg<\/a><\/strong> – SSPX News<\/em>
Disgusting behaviour, but the norm in the SSPX judging by their similar behaviour in other countries and locally. At this point, I don’t think anything will change them, and I don’t think anything can be done to stop them. Apart from prayer. May their “Holy Hotspot<\/strong>” – by the grace of God – fail to kill anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KBI is investigating priests in Kansas town that draws parishioners from across U.S.<\/a><\/strong> – Kansas City Star
<\/em>KBI = Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The town = St Marys in Kansas. Investigations – into sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SSPX and Fascism<\/a><\/strong> – Church Militant<\/em>
Part of a larger series about the SSPX and their misbehaviour, especially relating to sexual abuse. This article deals with their Nazi sympathising, and names Fr Ramon Angles, Fr Florian Abrahamowicz, and bishop Richard Williamson as problematic clergy. The SSPX had Nazi war criminal Paul Touvier hiding in one of their residences in France for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Church Militant\u2019s Response to SSPX<\/a><\/strong> – Church Militant<\/em>
Another part of a larger series about the SSPX and their misbehaviour, especially relating to sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This religious sect is steeped in racism and hatred<\/a><\/strong> – Andrew Horn, The Guardian<\/em>
Old, from 2009, but still a good read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
