Pretty sure Pelousy would have accused him of making a political statement which would have been quickly followed by a visit from an IRS agent.
How much money involved between Nancy supporting her church and the church kicking her out?
Demons often do.
Pride goes before a fall. A fall is long overdue.
It is funny that Nancy doesn’t realize that “free will” isn’t the thing that saves anyone because it somehow lets people live up to their own personal moral standards.
Free will to live up to your own moral standards hasn’t saved anyone who hasn’t believed in Jesus Christ, or before His coming, the promise from God that Jesus would come (kinsmen redeemer) to save them.
All those people lost during the flood - the entire earth’s population except for 8 people - living by their own moral codes, is monumental evidence Nancy is lying out of ignorance, or on purpose.
Gods wishes and natural law do not apply to democrats.
At least not here on earth.
It doesn’t matter. There should be speakout by priests and bishops publicly because these people still keep showing up at church and are still taking sacraments. That should not be allowed to continue.
I didn't say punishment, but discipline. In either case though it is stupid to lose sight of the fact that it's a corrective and therefore it's not supposed to be pleasant, but an actual painfully-felt cutting of ties...
She just met with the her Pope in Rome, and received holy communion at the Vatican itself, the woman has nothing to worry about as a Catholic, she is golden.
Sometimes I wonder why God doesn’t just strike down the evil people who do such horrible crimes as kill their own babies.
Then I realize that in God’s eyes, I too have sinned and he might just strike me down too. I do hope and believe that he in his infinite mercy has already forgiven my sins as I have asked him to.
From your lips...
Sorry.
Thank you for the explanation. This means it is possible that she has been excommunicated and she is keeping that fact to herself. I can’t begin to imagine how tormented her soul must be.
I can’t stand the sight of her but some part of me really feels sorry for her....she is going to suffer ETERNALLY if she does not repent. Ugh.I feel sorry for her too, and try to remember to pray for her, and although it seems she would suffer eternally without repentance, there could be reasons why she wouldn't, like having some sort of emotional/mental disorder, etc. Actually, the whole lot of them seem disordered (or something).
Is she still receiving communion? If so, there is a priest and bishop who are complicit.
She’s calling the bluff and she’ll never be excommunicated.
Jesus didn’t die to save baby-killers, Nancy. Just those of us who accept His father’s word. There’s a warm spot for you.
That’s what I’ve been wondering.
"My faith is very deep and has been my whole life. I love my faith and my faith has nothing to do with whoever he is. The arrogance of it all! It’s like something ancient, medieval…The Church taught me as I was growing up that every person has a free will and has the responsibility to live up to a moral standard. And I respect women’s judgment and values to do that.
Whether this priest thinks his judgment should be another woman’s judgment is absolutely ridiculous to me. But nonetheless it’s what they say. I grant the Church where they are on abortion. That’s where they are, that’s where they have to be. But my faith isn’t about what their position is. My faith is about, Christ is my savior, the church is his church, and has nothing to do with Priests for Life…I wouldn’t even dignify whatever it is they said. It was a highly emotional statement that they made. If it were more intellectual I might have paid attention to it. He was acting hysterically."
Ping for later
Well done, Father.
As if she cared about excommunication in the first place.
