Ill call him Fr. John. He was a charismatic Anglo Catholic priest.
A friend of my brother Daryls well call Henry died suddenly in a plane crash and he was upset because although Henry was a believer he was away from God when he died.
So Fr. John said, We have to have a requiem Mass for Henry.
They went into church and locked the door for privacys sake. Another priest well call Fr. George celebrated the Mass.
Henry was about twenty years old. He was just over five foot tall with a shock of blonde hair and a wide face with freckles.

excellent caww. thanks for posting.
it boils down to the fact that catholics don’t know God’s Word; they only know what they’re told by the c. church which is self serving and erroneous.
you can hear their ravings on these boards but when confronted with the question of whether they’ve accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior................crickets
Learned a few things from this article...
One is that the spirits of dead Catholic people don’t go to meet their fate immediately upon death...They wander around amongst us, but for how long???
The second thing is that the aisles of Catholic churches apparently are full of dead people going up to take part in the Eucharist...
And thirdly, contrary to popular Catholic opinion, the departed dead (at least this one) head on up toward the light (heaven) without being sent down to purgatory...
Well said; Bob!

Thanks for your smug and arrogant avoidance of a perfectly good question.
I bow to your expertise in examining these things.
Thanks for proving my point as you so often do. You linked to this:
“The name, though long in use among Protestant historians, has only recently been introduced into Catholic handbooks. The consequence is that it already has a meaning and an application, for which a word with a different nuance should perhaps have been chosen.”
Exactly what I said: “Counter-Reformation” is Protestant-speak.
It’s amazing how the ignorance of Protestant anti-Catholics undercuts their own claims.
“Thanks for your smug and arrogant avoidance of a perfectly good question.”
If it were “perfectly good” then I would not have told you to ask it correctly.
“I bow to your expertise in examining these things.”
About how Luther invented your religion on the cloaca - you should. I knew it. Did you?
Thanks for PROVING the we Protestants are leading YOUR church these days.
You seem to have; shall we say; a bit of a fixation about this.
You are not named in any court indictments; are you?
“Thanks for PROVING the we Protestants are leading YOUR church these days.”
Again, you’re wrong. The quote does not say anything about Protestants leading the Church. “Catholic” handbooks were written by Catholics, but not necessarily issued by the Church. There are examples in exactly the opposite direction as well: http://www.amazon.com/The-Catholic-Reformation-Michael-Mullett/dp/0415189152
“You seem to have; shall we say; a bit of a fixation about this.”
No, I just think it is so perfectly fitting as the origin of your false gospel religion.
“You are not named in any court indictments; are you?”
Nope. And even if I were it would not change the fact that your religion was invented in the cloaca.
Protestantism was, yes.
They are not alone in that respect. Jesus made it clear that as the end times come there will be “many” false teachers...just as we see today ..in droves! And it is because people do not know what God says in His Word that they “easily” fall prey to any “other” teaching that the enemy of God has to deceive them with.
Too many don't understand, nor do they care to know, what God has to say...and for that fail to see that they themselves leave the door ‘wide open’ for all sorts of deception..and that quite willingly...by any man who most assuredly will trick them. Cults and false religions flourish in the atmosphere of our day.....just as badly as they did centuries ago.
Common sense would tell anyone that ‘grave robbing corpses’, dressing them up and making idols of them is pagan in every sense of the word. Gilded dressed men (catholic priests), who allure the uninformed, do not change the reality nor facts,... nor do their teachings and coloring the facts to be something they are not....
.... These practices are barbaric and we would surely call it so, and as much the leadership who would encourage people to falsely “believe” that by ‘attaching a catholic teaching’ to it makes it acceptable... It's vile, sacrilegious and demonic... and that's all there is to it!
They continue because they are a "result" and "consequence" of not believing what God says. The actual sin begins long before the results. And we have far more serious problems then the outcomes of "behavior".....the hearts of men grow more vile and dangerous today as people "follow" those who dress in robes and "flaunt their evil before you"....
And the difference is???
