This is a Catholic Answers appreciation tweet. They’re good folks doing great work. They’ve educated countless Catholics in the faith, and they’ve brought scores into the Church through their apologetics. And now they’ve shown that they can admit a mistake and correct it quickly.

“The Word is in the Father by reason of his divine nature, we are in him by reason of his human birth, and he is in us through the mystery of the sacraments.” -St. Hilary of Poitiers

Like St. Leo the Great, St. Peter Chrysologus is one of the more under-read and under-appreciated doctors of the Latin Church.

“Do not be afraid. This cross inflicts a mortal injury, not on me, but on death. These nails no longer pain me, but only deepen your love for me. I do not cry out because of these wounds, but through them I draw you into my heart.” -St. Peter Chrysologus

Tom’s not a fan of Australian wines.

“As a preparation for the resurrection, our Lord tells us how we should live here and now: peaceable, long-suffering, undefiled by desire, and detached from wealth. In this way we can achieve the kind of life that will be natural in the world to come.” -St. Basil the Great

“Ask yourselves whether you belong to Christ’s flock: whether you know him, whether the light of his truth shines in your minds. I assure you that it is not by faith that you will come to know him, but by love; not by mere conviction, but by action.” -St. Gregory the Great

“The body of Christ gives life to those who receive it. Its presence in mortal men expels death and drives away corruption because it contains within itself in his entirety the Word who totally abolishes corruption.” -St. Cyril of Alexandria

“When death, with its customary impudence, came foraging for her mortal fruit, it encountered its own destruction in the hidden life that Christ contained. All unsuspecting, death swallowed him up, and in so doing released Life itself and set free a multitude of men.” -St. Ephrem

“If our flesh is not saved, then the Lord has not redeemed us with his blood, the eucharistic chalice does not make us sharers in his blood, and the bread we break does not make us sharers in his body.” -St. Irenaeus

New title for Christ just dropped: Jesus the Divine Distraction.

“The source of man’s love for God can only be found in God’s love for him first. He has given us himself as the object of our love, and he has also given us its source….This love is not something we generate ourselves; it comes to us through the Holy Spirit.” -St. Augustine

“We do not consume the eucharistic bread and wine as if it were ordinary food…The food that our flesh assimilates for its nourishment becomes the flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus by the power of his own words contained in the prayer of thanksgiving.” -St. Justin Martyr

“They thought we must be going to the disco because most of us were in our twenties. We had to tell them, no, the queue is the middle-aged people over there.” thelampmagazine.com/issues/issue-2…

“In the cross there is no mingling of good and evil, as in the tree of paradise: it is wholly beautiful. The fruit of this tree is not death but life, not darkness but light. This tree does not cast us out of paradise, but opens the way for our return.” -St. Theodore the Studite

“O God, for whose honor the Bishop Saint Stanislaus fell beneath the swords of his persecutors, grant, we pray, that we may persevere strong in faith even until death. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.”

“The new creature is inebriated with the Lord himself. For the effect of our sharing Christ’s body and blood is to change us into what we receive. As we have died and have been raised with him, so we bear him within us, in body and spirit, in everything we do.” -St. Leo the Great

As St. Thomas Aquinas’s hesitations over certain articulations of the Immaculate Conception deepen our reading of “Ineffabilis Deus,” so do Charles De Koninck’s hesitations over certain articulations of the primacy of the person deepen our reading of “Dignitas Infinita.”
