Guardian Angel
That every individual soul has a guardian angel has never been defined by the Church, and is, consequently, not an article of faith; but it is the "mind of the Church", as St. Jerome expressed it: "how great the dignity of the soul, since each one has from his birth an angel commissioned to guard it." (Comm. in Matt., xviii, lib. II).
(...)
In the Bible this doctrine is clearly discernible and its development is well marked. In Genesis 28-29, angels not only act as the executors of God's wrath against the cities of the plain, but they deliver Lot from danger; in Exodus 12-13, an angel is the appointed leader of the host of Israel, and in 32:34, God says to Moses: "my angel shall go before thee." At a much later period we have the story of Tobias, which might serve for a commentary on the words of Psalm 90:11: "For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways." (Cf. Psalm 33:8 and 34:5) Lastly, in Daniel 10 angels are entrusted with the care of particular districts; one is called "prince of the kingdom of the Persians", and Michael is termed "one of the chief princes"; cf. Deuteronomy 32:8 (Septuagint); and Ecclesiasticus 17:17 (Septuagint).
This sums up the Old Testament doctrine on the point; it is clear that the Old Testament conceived of God's angels as His ministers who carried out his behests, and who were at times given special commissions, regarding men and mundane affairs. There is no special teaching; the doctrine is rather taken for granted than expressly laid down; cf. 2 Maccabees 3:25; 10:29; 11:6; 15:23.

I quake at the sight; my mighty nation has fallen into ruin. The collapse of this nation* under the current administration has caused the weakening of the world and the onslaught of evil into the world.
My world is quickly deteriorating with the fall of your country.*

I'm guessing you might have meant brain freeze. What Brian freeze is, you'll have to ask Stewie.ConfederateSS wrote:I actually understood what he was talking about...If you listen real slow you can hear it was about jobs, economy...How good Americans are doing...With a straight face.
Considering you've currently got the lowest unemployment rate in 51 years, are you surprised he's bragging about it?
I'm cynical when politicians take the credit for economic improvements, but I certainly understand why.

Fair enough, it wasn't great, but there was still a few laughs. Doesn't mater since Dave B said he was never going to play Drax again, it would be done either way. Bummer because him and Mantis were pretty hilarious together. I guess Disney can concentrate their efforts on letting A.I. Make movies where everyone is Spider-Man.
