That's why it is required not to let the passion of hatred overcome the rational faculty and the virtue of Charity, that desires the good end of the other. But if you fail to hate and despise that which is hateful and despises the good, you have failed to will the good. Hatred in general is a...

I am bound to assent to the Teaching Authority of the Church, or I stop being Catholic. This is not up for debate. On my side are the Fathers, Doctors, Saints, Popes, Apostles, 2000 years of history. On his side are the reformers who suddenly got it right when everyone else got it wrong for a...

"Why aren't you protestant like me" "No thanks, I'm already sold up on crazy."

Except a monarchical, patriarchal, authoritarian, hierarchical Church is exactly what his Apostles built in his name, so I'll take their interpretation of Our Lord's Word over anyone else's. A Church that feeds the sheep only good food and is protected from error. A Church that sets Saints...

Because Our Lord established a Kingdom, not a democracy. It's Christ the King not Christ the President. The Church was founded by Our Lord and his Apostles, the Hierarchical Authoritarian Church that binds our conscience in matters of Faith and Morals is exactly what Our Lord established...

The Church has the Authority from the Master. 15But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother. 16And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three...

Absolutely correct. As taught by Saint Augustine, the opposite of Love is not Hate, but Indifference. This is simply a bald faced false claim about my position, which is simple the position of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, what has been held everywhere and everywhen by the Universal...

Our Lord established a Church, he did not hand over a book. It was that Church that assembled the book of the Holy Canon of Scripture.

The Gospel is given to us by the Church, it is evil to read Holy Writ against the teaching authority of our Holy Mother, the spotless bride of Our Lord.

Then, the witness of the Apostolic and post-apostolic Fathers: “I for my part maintain that to hate the enemies of God is lawful, and that such a hatred pleases the Master. By enemies I mean those who in every way deny the glory of the Master, whether the Jews or those who are manifestly...

It is an error to read that passage as saying that hate is the opposite of love, or to apply the command to love your enemies outside the brotherhoood of Christ. Love the Body of Christ, hate the enemies of Christ. It is also an error to read 'Judge not' as an instruction never to judge anyone...

48 Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect. We are explicitly told to emulate God in everything. There is nothing wrong with hate as long as it is justified and under control of the rational faculty.

OP is correct. If you claim to love a thing, but do not hate and despise that which threatens the thing, you are shown to be a liar and unjust. “He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid...
