🧵 A THREAD by TOC: Political Omissions in the Lectionary—A Silent Strike Against Scripture & Sacred Tradition?

On today’s Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, let’s talk about the verses we don’t hear—and why it matters. 👇 1.1/ Much critique of the Novus Ordo (NO) Mass centers on reverence and ritual.

But here’s a deeper issue: the lectionary itself.

What if I told you key verses of Scripture were being intentionally omitted?

Let’s talk about the silence no one notices. 👇

🚨 A THREAD by TOC: The Church is not Plan B. She is the true Israel—the fulfillment, not replacement. If you’ve been told otherwise, this may challenge what you’ve heard. Let’s walk through Scripture and Tradition. 🧵👇 1/ Many believe Jews remain God's “Chosen People” after rejecting Christ. But what do Scripture, Tradition, and the early Church actually teach? Let’s explore the Catholic view of the New Israel.

🧵 1/ One of the great errors in modern Christianity is this:

People shape religion around their preferences, instead of allowing religion to shape them.

Faith becomes comfort—not conversion.

Therapy—not transformation.

Let’s talk theology. A thread by TOC 2/ This mindset was amplified during the Reformation.

Doctrines like sola fide (faith alone) taught many that salvation requires belief—but not necessarily moral transformation, sacramental life, or obedience.

Faith became reduced to feeling.

1/ Most Christians pray these words every day: "Give us this day our daily bread."

But what if Jesus wasn’t just talking about food?

The original Greek unlocks something much deeper—and profoundly Eucharistic.

Let’s break it down! A daily thread by TOC 🧵👇 2/ Jesus didn’t say “daily” bread in Greek.

He said epiousios—a word so rare, it appears only here in the Bible.

It’s almost untranslatable. But Church tradition renders it as: “super-substantial” bread.

Bread not just for the body—but for the soul.

1/🧵 Part 2 of 3—The Catholic Mass is not only rooted in Scripture—it is where the entire story of salvation history is fulfilled and made present.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible leads us to the altar. Let’s explore how the Mass is Scripture in action. A thread by TOC. 2/ The Bible was never meant to be a book alone.
It’s a liturgical document, born from the Church’s worship and meant to be proclaimed and enacted.
At every Mass, we don’t just read the Bible—we walk into it.

1/ A Thread By TOC: “Did Mary Have Other Children?” —Debunking a Persistent Lie:

Some non-Catholics insist Jesus had biological brothers and that Mary had other children with Joseph.
Let’s dismantle this false claim once and for all—with Scripture, history, and reason. 2/ First, let's talk about the word "brother."

In modern English, “bro” or “brother” often means “friend,” “teammate,” or “fellow believer.”

You’d never call your actual sibling “bro” to their face. You call them by their name.

This matters. Stick with me.

1/ 🧵 The Catholic Mass is deeply biblical.
Many reformers claim that Catholics don’t read or know the Bible. But in reality, every single part of the Mass is rooted in Scripture. Let’s set the record straight. ⬇️ 2/ Introductory Rites
The priest begins with, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” This is based on Matthew 28:19, where Jesus commands, “Go... baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
