Your commentary is not kind, Caww. You make fun of Catholics left and right. That’s not being a Christian.

Some people walk by sight - what they can see, touch, feel, hear, smell - but, as Christians, we are to walk by faith.

There is no greater demonstration of walking by faith in all of Christian history than this:

Blessed is He who does not see and yet believes.

Yes, beautiful......

1327 In brief, the Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith: "Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking."140 -CCC

Amen!

That is sure different then the admonition in scripture to eat before so you were not hungry.

Good catch! I hadn't thought of that before, but you're right.

..."Your commentary is not kind, Caww"......

Jesus does not spare one word in his 'condemnation of the religious leaders teaching falsehood'...nor for their choices and behavior...

“Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.”

Where did I do that?

“Also be aware that mindreading on the Religion Forum is not allowed.”

I engaged in no “mindreading.” Is it also forbidden to understand the implications of what posters write?

Interesting observation. And so the protestant, in an effort to emulate Christ spares nothing in correcting their fellow man but is unwilling to emulate the love Christ has for His Mother.

Christ: when He's convenient.

[boatbums]

Just think, if I had been born thirty years later, I would have only needed to fast one hour instead of from midnight the night before! I probably could have made it being ten and all. What's the going rate now? Is there any?

I hope you are aware that we are told in Scripture to eat first BEFORE we partake of the remembrance of the Lord's Supper so that we aren't famished. I rejoice that the Lord rescued me from the "discipline" of the traditions of men that nullified the commandments of God.

This commentary must have caused conniption fits,it leaves unkind in the rearview mirror...

"And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked." (1 Kings 18:27)

[boatbums]

Yet...here you are!

[caww]

Here are some of the survivors ......also a movie has been made regarding their plight....Further the Government of Ireland has made formal apology for having been complacent with the church for allowing this to occur.

“The Magdalene Sisters“, put 10,000 women and girls as young as nine through uncompromising hardship from the foundation of the Irish state in 1922 until 1996. Run by Catholic nuns, the laundries have been accused of treating inmates like slaves, imposing a regime of fear and prayer on girls sometimes put in their care for becoming pregnant outside marriage. One in 10 inmates died, the youngest at 15. Maureen Sullivan who worked in a "Magdalene Laundry", wipes a tear during a "Magdalene Survivors Together" news conference in Dublin.....At just twelve-years-old Maureen was placed in the laundry in the Irishtown after confiding in a priest and a nun that she was being abused at home by her stepfather......Maureen's identity was taken from her, with her name changed to Frances and the next two years she remembers as being a 'very grey bleak time with a lot of cruelty and a lot of mental and physical abuse'.

And yet millions of children are able to accomplish this every Sunday and don’t leave the Church as adults, then go on message boards vehemently trashing their former religion.
