Avoiding Babylon

Avoiding Babylon

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity.

As we see it, our job here at Avoiding Babylon is to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace. Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world.

    My daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury 13 years ago. I read Margots caregivers can communicate with her.Margpt can turn to yes and no. If they try, she can probably turn to spell as they go thru the alphabet. The caregivers asked her if she wanted to die, and she said no. Read The Diving Bell and the Butterfly., or Ghost Boy .Food is not excessive care or artificial life support. Our Church needs a strong voice for all these voiceless people including those who are taken prematurely for their organs

    @@avoidingbabylon Female deacons ate not an innovation. They were common practice until the 12th century. Of course we all know that the movement behind the restoration of that practice is politically motivated and is part of the 'progressist' agenda. The one African bishop that did that restoration is under scrutiny and the female deacons he ordained will be subjected to the canons concerning female deacons of the ecumenical councils. The First Council of Nicea (325) declared that the women deacons did not receive the ‘laying on of hands’. I At the Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (451), an earlier minimal age of 60 years for women deacons was relaxed to 40 years. Within that canonical frame it is acceptable to have female deacons. Is it useful is another debate the Church will have to answer. Also you Catholics should allow married men to be ordained as it was always the custom in the Church since the Apostles. Not for Theological reasons but because of maths. You hate reduced the pool of vocations to the part of men who are not bothered to not have a wife and children. Which increases statistically the % of non strait men within your clergy. Then you wonder why you have so many scandals. Kyrie eleison ☦

    Hey if you’re still answering questions Nick, I’m curious if you’d be willing to make an In depth defense of the new rites of consecration being valid, I know the sspx podcast has covered this but I’ve heard responses to it and I think ultimately some of their coverage misses some important points. I’m an orthodox Christian and I regularly listen to debates on orthodoxy vs Catholicism and I’m very much on the fence and I’m taking my time with it. One of my objections to Catholicism is that if I were to become Catholic I would have serious doubt about the validity of the modern Catholic holy orders.

    Nicholas, the Priest in our Parish does the same penance as he assigns to us. He says that it is the way in which he is with us (me) in repentance and it is his sharing in the sufferings of Christ crucified. Attributes it to Alphonsus, Not John Vianney. Either way, it makes me take my penance more seriously.

    Just an FYI: Sex is determined by whether our reproductive organs are organized around the production of male gametes (sperm) or female gametes (ova). This is true 100% of the time. A person with XY chromosomes with Swyer Syndrome is female because her reproductive organs are organized around the production of ova. These women are usually infertile, but there have been cases where these women do become pregnant. A person is either male or female, never in between or neither. Disorders in sexual development do occur rarely, but the person will still have organs that are organized around the production of male or female gametes, even if they are unable to produce those gametes or their external reproductive organs are ambiguous.

    @@avoidingbabylon I know. This wasn't meant to be an argument in and of itself. To try to designate certain sports as inherently male or female is silly. There is a wide spectrum of behaviors within the sexes and although there might be a norm for behavior, that doesn't mean that women or men should necessarily be isolated from certain engagements--particularly sports. I'm sorry, but if this is really your opinion, one has to wonder how many people--especially of the opposite sex, you have engaged with.
