“Jews are described in SSPX documents as being cursed by God for the sin of deicide” (killing Jesus), the ADL says in an online report.
They are wrong, I submit that it was God’s plan to be sacrificed or else our salvation would not be attained. There is no blame Jews, Romans, and Judas were doing what they were foretold to do to ensure our life.
That’s the Gibsons favorite catholic, isn’t it?
Couldn't say. Mine is Pope Michael I.
[NOTE FOR THE HUMOR-IMPAIRED: This is not anti-Catholicism. A schismatic junk-store owner from Kansas declaring himself Pope is funny. Ask a friend.]
Matthew 18:7 reads:
Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
I'm not anti-Semitic and I don't subscribe to the idea that Jews are cursed, but let's not overstate our case.
My only question is, did he repent of his sins?If so then he should be allowed a Christian burial.
If not, then let his sins be a testament against him.
There’s a difference between earthy and Heavenly judgements.
This applies to all of us sinners
The Jews didn’t kill Jesus. Syrian mercenaries in the Roman army pounded the nails and erected the cross.
Then omniscience and grace mean nothing. God knew what was coming long before it happened just like he knew each of us before we were born. He used the Jews and Romans to execute His plan.
There is a baseball-card salesman who owns something like 30 antisemitic websites dedicated to Pius X. Needless to say, he doesn’t exactøy like normal Catholics :).
He can go drinking with Fred Phelps.
We killed Jesus - your sins and mine.
“A Christian who has been baptized and who has received the sacraments of the Confession and the Eucharist, regardless of what have been his crimes and sins, as he dies reconciling with God and with the Church has the right to have a Holy Mass celebrated at his funeral,” the group said in a statement.
I agree with the SSPX here. If he reconciled with God and the Church, then he has a RIGHT to the funeral.
The ADL from time to time identifies some real stinkers, like this one. Unfortunately it has the value of crying wolf because it can be pretty thin skinned. That group is a caution about what Catholicism looks like when you take the Christianity out of it.
did the main Catholic church refuse to accept him for confession or what?
Shame on you. You have absolutely no idea who the SSPX are or what they actually stand for, which is Christian tradition.
The SSPX has just about single-handedly saved the traditional Latin Mass, which a cabal of Masons and Communists who wrote the Vatican II documents tried to destroy with the insipid “Mass of Paul VI” in 1969.
So He is either omniscient or not, which is it?
Well yes, because he sins and all sin results in woe. That might be a specific hint about the rebel disciple, Judas, who preferred to kill himself rather than begging God for forgiveness (which if it had hypothetically happened would have been granted).
