Ping to an interesting piece in First Things.
If this was previously posted, my apologies, but I searched and didn’t find it.
Just because you failed to live up to a standard doesn't mean there's something wrong with the standard.
Ping.
I wanted to hear what the Church believed in her own words.
You’ll have to get it in their own words. I don’t want to ruin the surprise.
And, obviously understood neither. But, even that is God's management. We are more than happy to hand her over to you folks...keeps her off the streets.
You should have caucused this so that the adults can have a rational discussion. I’m in RCIA now, and it’s good to be coming home. I look forward to a rational discussion about this, if the trolls can be kept at bay.
It’s not what’s in a building it’s what’s in the heart, GOD see’s the heart!
My divorced parents overcame this by making a "donation" to their church before marrying each other.
Certainly you can. Control your sexual urges for an extended time (i.e. years), repent for past activity and vow to live as brother and sister.
I don’t understand how partaking in communion can be withheld for divorce, but actively supporting homosexuality and abortion is A-OK!
Hypocritical to the max and 100% un-Christ-like.
If you hold public views favoring either of those things you have definitely excluded yourself, no matter if you are protestant of catholic. Privately, if you hold those views you are eating and drinking judgment upon yourself. Personally, I have not taken communion a few times because I had some things to work through.
Really? Is no one going to call this person out on her false representation of Church teaching? Of course she can go take communion. She just can't have sex with her new husband.
And if she is, abstaining from communion doesn't make it okay. She is still committing grave sin.
I'm not Catholic (any more) but I know that much.
Does anyone see anything wrong with that?
I was baptizes into the Catholic Church about Eighty Years ago and I have 12 years of Catholic Education,Both from the wonderful Nuns and the wonderful Irish christian Brothers.
I cannot see why a good Catholic in the state of grace and making a sincere “Act of Contrition” can be prohibited from receiving the Sacraments. Over the last 14 years or so we have been subjected to the knowledge of thousands of Active priests Following Homosexual Lives while serving at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. At the same time these Homosexual Priests abusing Children were protected by Prelates of the Catholic Church.,up to and including Many Cardinals.
Your Faith is between You , Your Heart, Your Soul and your
Belief in God, who is all Knowing and All Forgiving.
I’d say , Put your trust In God.
So where is the Scriptural basis for this?
Does Jesus not forgive sin?
Right. Guess my ancestors should have bought those pardons that Rome was selling when Martin Luther nailed his demands on the church door. The Church is merely a conduit to God. It is NOT God, Any organization professing to be such is a false prophet. Christ did say “This is my body given for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven”. I don’t remember there being any fine print.
