Do Saints Need to be Omniscient to Hear Prayers?

No. Only God is omniscient, and this, unlike some of His other qualities, cannot be shared. Some Protestants, like one I recently talked to via text, said that in order for Saints to hear our prayers, they must be omniscient. This doesn't follow. Since prayers aren't all that make up truth in the world, and omniscient is knowledge of all that makes up truth, omniscience isn't necessary. Add to this the fact that prayers are finite, even if numerous,  Saints can still be aware of all our prayers without being omniscient. This same Protestant also argued that since prayers come from everywhere in the world, they must also be omnipresent. For the same reasons as before, this also doesn't follow. I didn't think to bring it up at the time, but 1 Peter 5:8 reads, 
Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.
This was written for all Christians at all times at every place. And surely, the devil can tempt billions of Christians in billions of locations simultaneously. Would a Protestant then say that the Devil is therefore omniscient or omnipresent? I would hope not. The Devil, being an Angel, has certain powers humans don't have. But the Saints perfected in Heaven, and the Church in general, being the mystical body of Christ, are above them. So if the Devil can do all these things, why think that the Church in union with God cannot do more?

Milo

So I decided to go see Milo Yiannopoulos at UCSB yesterday. I was really hesitant to do so, and decided not to go, but a few of my friends wanted to go, and they're all losers who don't drive, so, I had to take everyone. I didn't know much about Milo, and I still don't, but I did learn some things. In some of the more, ahem, colorfully conservative pages of facebook that I follow, Milo has been something of an iconoclast, destroying the feminist narratives left and right. But I also know that he is an active homosexual and he is a rabid Trump supporter (even calling him "Daddy"). So, for those reasons, I was never interested in what he had to say. He was, to take a phrase from Lenin, a useful idiot. That was my impression. But I was wrong. A few days before the event, I had read somewhere on these pages I follow but wont name, that Milo believed himself to be a Christian, and a Catholic at that. I dismissed this immediately, and my opinion of him stoppe...

What Does The Bible Say About Birth Control?

From the early church up to 1930, virtually every church believed contraception was a sin. That fact alone should have us induce that contraception is in fact a sin. Yet, there are many Christians today, even in my own congregation, that will never entertain the possibility of contraception being a sin.

Is Canon 28 Binding?

In my previous post , I discussed Canon 28 of the Council of Chalcedon (you'll find the full text of the canon there). But I should have put an asterisk on the conversation because Canon 28 isn't properly part of the council. You'll remember from an earlier post , that what makes a council ecumenical is ratification from the Roman Pontiff. Canons are part of councils. And naturally, canons also have to be ratified. However, Canon 28 was not ratified by Pope Leo (Roman Pontiff at the time). So Canon 28 isn't part of the council and thus isn't binding.  If you are Orthodox, this may sound too convenient. I've already suggested why Roman Ratification is the correct theory in the previous link. However, I want to add two things. First, even Saints in the East agree with the Roman position, and second, a case can be made for Canon 28 not being problematic for Catholicism.  First, there are the sayings of Pope St. Gelasius (about 490 AD), and Pope St. Gelasius is...
