I did read the article about Argentina. Very interesting.
You commented to me about the article. I responded to you on and idea that came to me from the article.
What brave men. Those women seem possessed.
You seem not to notice that the bishops are thinking about giving this up to maintain their independence. The confessional state is no longer a good thing for Catholics.
No I read that. In fact I quoted that in my post. Good for them. Too bad they didn’t do it 75 years ago. Is there evidence Bishop Bergoglio had a problem cashing the check?
Demonic. This is the same kind of demonic fervor with which “less sophisticated” ancients sacrificed their babies to Moloch. Abortion is the sacrament of “secular” feminism, and Moloch is still their god.
Nothin' says lovin' like covens from the oven
In Germany clergymen of all stripes are paid by the state. This is a European model. and sixty years ago, when the governments were friendly to Christianity, this was a good idea. Which is why after the war, the Church began to lobby for the US government to give aid for social services. But when the state became hostile or indifferent to the Church, then the ties that bind are not longer blessed. Our own bishops may finally be walking to this fact. Even the stupids at the USCCB may be waking up to the fact that this guy is no friend of theirs nor can he be courted.
I dont think we want to see the pictures.I agree; we shouldn't be giving the devil any free press.
I think it boils down to free will. God gave we and his angels the ability to determine their own fate, including whether to do good or harm. Apparently He didn’t want to populate heaven with automatons. When they say abortion is a choice, of course it is; a wrong one.
God gave His angels free will to determine their own fate....hmmm. There's not much in the Bible about the free will of angels or their determining their own fate. Mostly, I think, it talks about one angel: Satan, the Prince of Darkness.
Good angels, I assume did and still do good and, then, conversely bad angels did and still do bad. No automatons there.
As for abortion being a choice, a bad one, I'm with you there, 100%.
God certainly didn’t design Satan or 1/3 of the angels who followed him to be evil, so they must have had free will to pursue their own fate. Perhaps not exactly Biblical, just common sense as I see it.
