Everyone Gets A Baptism!

 THE EARLY CHURCH BAPTIZED ENTIRE FAMILIES AND HOUSEHOLDS ON THE BASIS OF THE FAITH OF PARENTS OR HOUSEHOLD HEADS (Acts 16:15; Acts 16:29-34; 1 Corinthians 1:16)


But what is a Household? Can they include children or infants? 


Yes! Households can absolutely include infants and/or children. In fact, a significant portion of households in the United States are comprised of families with infants or children under the age of 18. Households are defined as all people occupying a housing unit, and can include families (related by birth, marriage, or adoption) as well as individuals not related to the householder. 


Family Households:


These are households where at least one person is related to the householder (the person in whose name the home is owned or rented) by birth, marriage, or adoption. A large percentage of family households include children under 18. 


Households with Children:


These can be family households or households that include other related individuals (like a subfamily) with children under 18. 


Subfamilies:


A subfamily is a family group within a larger household, such as a married couple or a parent-child unit within a household headed by someone else. 


Household Composition:


Households can vary widely, from single individuals to couples, families with children, and extended families. 


No Legal Limit:


There is no legal limit on the number of children a household can have in the US, as long as the parents can provide the necessary care and resources for them. 


In essence, the concept of a "household" is broad and inclusive, encompassing a variety of living arrangements, including those with infants and children.

ALL SOULS DAY

ALL SOULS DAY SCOOP: Today is NOT about the general bulk of humanity who have died.  Rather, it is about those who have already died in the faith and works of Christ, aka, the, "faithful departed." Here's why... For those souls who wilfully reject Christ, God, and all His ways in their life, we can do nothing once they pass from this earth - their chance came and went. Both Christ and St. Paul made it clear that the majority of humanity will *not* be saved. There are very clear instructions on how to maintain ones salvation, yes, but the most will fall into condemnation by ignoring them, or by picking from among them which they will adopt. Their poor choices and actions during their life seal their eternal fate at death. No do-overs. Sorry. So today we honor those inspiring souls who knew that, and behaved accordingly in faith, charity, hope, trust in Him, acting in God's love and the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. ++++++++++++++++++++ Rev 14:13:  Blessed ar...

The Cult Down The Street

 WHEN WOLVES MASQUERADE AS SHEPHERDS:  Unmasking cults and cultist churches through the Catholic lens --- > “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” — Matthew 7:15 --- 🧩 INTRODUCTION:  THE SPIRITUAL DECEPTION THAT LOOKS HOLY Cults and cultist churches often DON'T appear as grotesque evils — they frequently speak of God, mimic Christian practices, and are likely to quote the Bible - a lot.  But under the surface lies a poison that separates souls from the Body of Christ, distorts the truth of the Gospel, and enslaves minds and hearts.  While modern society flippantly  tosses around the word “cult” to describe groups considered to be extreme or on the fringe, the Catholic Church views the term, "cult," with a unique spiritual urgency—as an imitation of religion that endangers eternal salvation. --- --- 🔍 PART I: DEFINING A CULT FROM A CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE A.
