Vatican II taught NO such thing. Those types of *innovations* were brought about by both clerics and lay alike....who had not fully read the documents of Vatican II.
really...did I need to post a sarcasm tag...?
and while we’re at it, what is your reasoning as to the necessity, or for that matter, the wisdom in convening Vatican II...? I mean,considering the clerics never bothered to read the documents it produced, it couldn’t have been of any real value...
Here I am , Lord
Is it I, Lord?
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls...
yes, a solid gold Dan Schutte special...and now it will take a full day to get the tune out of my head...
The winner. Thank you! This one’s going to my brother. (I do DESPISE what passes as music in the Church these days.)
LOL, that was priceless.
Nor is it what was announced by Pope Benedict: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/19956961/ns/world_news-europe/t/pope-creation-vs-evolution-clash-absurdity/
No. Eve while one may hold that Eve was a Myth, she was not a Muth for long, and at the same time one must hold that Adam was a Mythter.
If you don't get Genesis right it's hard to get the rest right.
A bible in the hand of a Catholic is like the constitution in the hands of a liberal. The official Catholic doctrine is meaningless if the priests aren't preaching it.
What is that supposed to mean?
No matter what the bible says, Catholics will change the meaning or replace the scripture with tradition. The first devout Catholic I ever talked to about creation was a hard core evolutionist. She was reading a book supporting evolution, written by a Catholic priest.
I mean,considering the clerics never bothered to read the documents it produced, it couldn’t have been of any real value...

I honestly missed the sarcasm. It may be because of seeing so many many people dissing the Church these days. Some want the Church to change and be more liberal; others want the Church to revert to Latin only liturgies. I reacted in a somewhat knee-jerk fashion. Apologies.
To respond to what you stated above, I can only say that the position of Apostle was offered to Judas and he allowed his own disorder to prevail instead. This is also what happened to SOME clerics and then with some laity with the implementation of Vatican II. They simply chose their own ideas of how to do this, rather than that of the holy men who honestly were trying to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. Their own disorder prevailed rather than what God’s Spirit was offering.
I have also honestly wondered how many people were regularly praying for the Church in those days...?
Ephesians 6:18
If you really believe that, then I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.
But since you bring it up, tell me in scripture where to find the doctrine of sola scripture. And what is your take on John 6?
The description of your personal experience may be true. It proves nothing except that humans are imperfect and often sin.
Your first statement is simply false.
Interesting. My brides parish teaches (as in instruction materials to children and adults) that there was no Adam and Eve. God (maybe) decided to ensoul some monkeys.
When I point out the rather severe theological issues this presents, I have been called a fundamentalist Catholic hater. When I show them the parts of the Catholic Catechism quoted the article.. Well I was asked to leave.
No, they are not myths.
You just proved my point with that sentence.
If you check the Catechism of the Catholic Church for those verses, very often the Biblical connotation is also given.
My. What a wonderful "defense" of the literal truth of Genesis. [/sarcasm]
But "body" and "blood" mean "body" and "blood," right?
