sounds like Taqiyya in islam. Not sure if there is anything in the Catholic doctrine that would be comparable. At least as matter of practice. I think they just lie to you and do not feel the need to justify it.
too nice?
you direct the stream of the river as you go down the river, the river manifests. If you know where you want to go you manifest yourself going there. That is the best way to control the future. Now changing the past, are you so sure about that? How do you know you can't change the past if you have not yet reached the future.
thus if future and past are subjective they can still be changed .
that entire area is a powder keg. Del Rio and Eagle pass both in the news in the last week, But you do not need a celestial occurrence to justify shit exploding there. But having said that it also would not surprise me if they did do something there specifically for this reason.
