Monsignor Pope Ping!
the Faithful on Earth, The souls in Purgatory and the Triumphant in Heaven make up the Communion Of Saints. (Baltimore Catechism)
Worth noting, this is a term never appearing in Scripture, but used by Saint Nicetas of Remesiana in the 4th Century.
bump for later
There is nothing in the NT to suggest this type of "sharing" suggested by the Msgr.
“Worth noting, this is a term never appearing in Scripture, but used by Saint Nicetas of Remesiana in the 4th Century.”
So we can only use terms mentioned in Scripture?
So we can never say “Trinity”, for instance?
You’re adding evidence to the idea that anti-Catholicism is a mental illness.
I’m a saint.
Oh, it must be true, since we Catholics tell Christians that "sola sciptura" isn't in the Scripture
“Oh, it must be true, since we Catholics tell Christians that “sola sciptura” isn’t in the Scripture”
Sola scripture isn’t in Scripture - but especially as a doctrine not just the words “sola scriptura”.
But again, are we not supposed to use terms like “Trinity”? Maybe you could actually answer the question this time - if you can find the wherewithal to do it.
As a Catholic, I freely admit that the teaching of sola scriptura is in Scriture.
... but I prefer to also believe the crazy stuff our Catholic Church added, that is now part of our Sacred Tradition.
I like the comfort of splashing around holy water, sacrificing on an alter, bowing before idols, seeing our priests in their very worldly costumery - even the church office of Pope.
If you prots don't like it, who cares. We wrote the Bible, but we are not limited by it.
We can add things to Sacred Tradition as we go and they they become equal to Scripture. Then we assume the whole ball of wax was passed verbally over the centuries from Peter, our first great pope.
Recently we added a veneration of a beautiful statue of Mother Earth. No doubt this will be part of the Amazon Rite soon, and part of the Sacred Tradition. No doubt we will elevate her to sainthood.
Again, if prots or others don't like it, talk to the hand.

“ We wrote the Bible, but we are not limited by it. “
What a spectacular error.
If so, do you remember writing 2 Tim 3:16?
If you “wrote” it, then you’d probably be an expert in what It says. But oddly, you’re not.
Weird.
Not per Roman Catholicism. They’ve redefined the word to mean something other than what is found in the New Testament.
Yes. I know.
My mother had a statute of some “Saint” mounted on the dashboard of our ‘59 Ford Fairlane. She thought it helped her driving.
ALWAYS pray for the poor souls in Purgatory. They in turn will pray for you and intercede for you when they get to heaven. Never stop praying for your loved ones who have died.
If you are living, then you are among the Church Militant.
Not the Church Triumphant — the Saints in heaven.
Good one!
............
Do you have a chapter and verse for "church militant" and "church triumphant."
I don't remember ever seeing them in Scripture...
