Not only that, any reasonable response or justifiable outrage by these posts is met with even more snide and nasty dialogue between them.

Honestly, if their BS wasn’t so bad I could ignore them and I can take whatever they throw at me with a grain of salt and a reasoned and thoughtful answer no matter how undeserved.

My concern is for the lurkers. Those new to the faith, exploring the faith or weak in their faith.

They deserve to hear the truth.

Pretty nuts, isn’t it, Old Reggie?

Their noses are so far out of joint in contemplating me kneeling at the altar of a high mass wedding. lol. The idea that this occurred THREE times is sending them into fits.

If I had known this would be the response, I would have given up this information years ago. Their pettiness isn’t pretty.

The fact that they were high mass weddings didn't matter to me in the slightest,

They mattered enough that you claim it here.

Your comments are inane.

Last posting, you called my posts insane. So, are you saying that I am both inane and insane? At least I am not in the perpetual habit of lying and brazenly trying to cover it up with lie after lie after lie after lie after...

Ah welllll

I’d think a number of them had died and gone to their consequences if they weren’t harshly, mean-spiritedly attacking me virtually 24/7.

I think it’s better they are still in this life having another day of chances to make things right with God and others.

In due course, they’ll be shocked enough to find that a lot of things were true about Quix that they had no capacity to receive or appreciate or make constructive use of.

And that some of their assumptions couldn’t be more wrong.

LOL.

Thank you, OR. They’ve been having conniption fits for days over my being a bridesmaid for my sorority sisters after college in three high mass RC weddings. These were enormous productions. Hundreds of guests. Seven bridesmaids each time. The service lasted well over an hour. Lots of kneeling and standing and kneeling again. The wedding party all received communion (although the Protestants were to put their heads down when it was offered.)

I wasn’t the only Protestant attendant at these weddings. There were several of us. And the RCs who hosted these weddings certainly made us feel more welcome that the furious and clearly envious numbskulls here.

They are hearing the truth, believe me. They are.

The pagans and the heathens will act like pagans and heathens. So? Can you blame them? After all, God has predetermined and decreed that they should act this way. Shall we go against God? :)

Yes, Paul stayed with Peter for 15 days. And also saw James, the Lord's brother. And then 14 years later, Paul went again to Jerusalem. "But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me; God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me; " (2 Gal. 2:6).

The apostles are the ones referred to in bold. They had nothing to add to Paul. This in itself SHOULD prove to you that Peter was NOT the first pope and did NOT have charge of the universal church. Get it? Peter added NOTHING to Paul. Paul was giving Peter information, not the other way around.

One wonders how she was able to get through the entire service without some kind of breakdown considering the demonic presence of so many RC’s and man, a high Mass has lots and lots of rituals!LOL

Not doubting her presence, as I honestly don’t know or care, but the thought of a panic attack in the middle of it all.

Oh the horror! the horror!

No typo. Your posts are inane and insane.

They’re laughable, and disconcerting.

Why do you think no one wants to give you any personal information?

Too creepy.

It’s interesting.

Another possibility never mentioned about Mary.

God may have buried her to avoid having her body picked apart by idolators.

LOL.

We all have our handicaps.

I think it’s hilarious that you were at such weddings. I suspect God did, too.

He has a tendency to poke holes in Prissy Pomp and Circumstance. Always has had.

I think a lot of RC’s might entertain those Scriptures.

However, they’ve been well trained to lie down until the feeling goes away.

It is a waste of time to respond to the stooges as their whole purpose and existence on this forum is to insult, irritate, aggravate and then high five each other in a manner even worse than the BS they so hysterically spew forth in living color.

Like my children when they threw their temper tantrums, I ignore most of it. Unfortunately, being only human, I have fired off a reply only to fully and completely regret addressing them as if they have either a brain or a heart.

. When I was catholic I attended maybe a dozen or so High Masses. Not sure why that is so incredible to believe.

Thank you for that welcome bit of clarity.

Although, now that i said it, I will probably be hounded to prove it. lol

Hope not. But they've hounded FReepers for a lot less.

I just think its part an parcel of kill the messenger tactics.

Yep. That and more attempts to deflect the thread off the uncomfortable truth of its topic.

Plus apparently any opportunity to call another FReeper a "liar" will due.

Yeah, I’ve known some wonderful RC’s face to face.

None of them particularly enjoyed being around RC’s more Roman Catholic than the Pope, however.
