Thanks! The DVC stuff is similar to what our friends just explained in regards to purchasing points direct through Disney and on secondary. Are the DVC accounts shareable? Like if we paired up with another family to buy points but ultimately split up the usage throughout the year? In...

I have a question about season pass holders and Disney/Orlando real estate or the DVC for anyone who may be knowledgeable in these areas: Even though we live in Indiana, we've come across more than a few people who are season pass holders at WDW. However, it sounds like they have a lot more...

Occasionally, the idea will pop into my head that asks, "I wonder what the pros would shoot on this course that I'm playing?" Then I remind myself that they're used to playing on incredibly manicured grass/sand/etc and re-shape my assumptions. A crappy bounce, bad lie, patchy grass, shaggy...

Co-signed. Only thing I'd add is hitting up the Financial District and if you don't have kids, do it during Happy Hour. I personally enjoyed the hubbub down there after the markets closed and people made their way out of the area, through the bars, and then back home to their respective...

Correct. The field doesn't have equal course access. Which is why you see a lot of golfers practice on courses that have similar grass, sand, and shot shape requirements. During tournament week, on practice days, you'll see the old guys coach the young guys. JT almost always practices with...

Lol. I wish! Most people just get single day badges. I was fortunate enough to go multiple times during the week in 2018. Whenever someone asks how many times I've been to the tournament, I say 3. But I like to clarify that I've walked that course 5 times because it is truly one of the best...

Same. I've liked Cam since his rookie season on the Tour and he played great at the Ryder Cup. Thought maybe he was Catholic but couldn't find verification. Until recently he began openly saying how he and his family don't miss Mass on Sundays. Good for him! Really rooting for him. This was...

I like Wes too, but just from my own basic research, I pick up on some things that Wes gets wrong, especially when he's talking about Catholicism. Here's a video of Jimmy breaking down Wes. It's long, but worth the time.

Sorry forgot to respond to the bolded in my above post: I’m not saying the Church created Scripture or just picked books at random. We agree the authority comes from God. What the Church did was compile the recognized inspired writings and officially declare the canon. There were lots of...

Thanks for the response. I enjoy these convos as well. But for now, I'm going to bow out for sake of time. Catholics and Prots just don't see eye-to-eye on these matters and we'll just continue talking in circles. The main takeaway for me, in closing, is that the two oldest branches of...

I think we actually agree on the main point. Catholics fully affirm that Christ is the final High Priest. His sacrifice is once for all. The difference is more about how it's applied in practice, I guess. From a Catholic view, it’s not a separate priesthood continuing. It’s Christ working...

"What was revealed in the Old, is fulfilled in the New." I'm fascinated with OT typology. Christian ancestry is ancient Judaism. The former can be greatly understood in the context of the latter. The early Church is deeply rooted in this way. I think you mean Matthew 16. And again, OT...

Interestingly, I feel the opposite. I enjoy hearing the prayer of absolution and carrying out penance and feeling that weight of guilt being lifted from me. I know a lot of Catholics, friends and family, who are terrified of confessionals. But over the past year, I've grown to really embrace...

Well, I'm Catholic, so my thoughts follow with the teachings and dogmas of the CC. The New Testament shows Jesus giving the apostles authority to forgive sins, do miracles, and “bind and loose" (not on their own, but through the Holy Spirit.) In the Old Testament, God gave a similar role to...

Just pointing out that when the CC says "There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church," there are caveats. It's not "or bust." Maybe that's not even what you were getting at with your comment. If not, my bad.

That's not what the CC teaches.

Athlete (who's mom is the women's bball coach at ND) makes anti-Catholic claims on IG. Poster creates thread on ND message board. And you're shocked a theological debate grew from it?

Orthodox and Catholics believe Jesus founded a spiritual church and a physical church on earth. Most Protestants reject that truth. So I guess I'd recommend a deep dive on that particular debate. Because to understand bedrock principles in the EOC and CC, you have to understand the visible...

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. If you're asking me what we need for salvation, I already answered that. If you're asking me whether or not we need the Church, that's more in line with what I'm trying to address.

Cheers! I guess I just don't see the point in Mere Christianity. I push back against this "I just need Jesus and my Bible, bro" mentality. I don't mean any disrespect, but studying said Bible cannot possibly lead someone to think that's the takeaway or the mindset the earliest Christians had...
