"It’s beyond my store of patience..."

Patience, along with chastity, humility, temperance, charity, diligence and kindness, is a virtue. How many others are you short of? We cannot presume to know what is in the heart or mind of anyone in prayer. Often those least familiar with prayer are those who misunderstand and misrepresent Catholic prayer.

At least the youngster at Job's side knew enough to respect his elders.

The Almighty didn't show much respect for that young feller's opinion. No, He didn't.

The thief will be saved from the second death and will be with Jesus "this day" in Paradise.

A day with the Lord is like...

What???

WHO...besides FRoman Catholics have been discussing "Catholic prayer". We're talking about prayer to God. Where you been.

“Miracles and signs are for the benefit if the unbelievers, not the believers and are worked through, not by the saints.”

That’s fine, just point out to me where your bishops have demonstrated the gifts of the apostles for the benefit of the unbelievers. They don’t need to put on a special show just for me.

I won’t be holding my breath.

Disclaimer. Wow.

Intend to arrogant here on FR much?

Why should I presume that you are older or more "Job-like" than me?

Please do not get cute or Clintonesque with me. The criticism in the discussion was specifically directed at prayer practices that are exclusively Catholic.

Rest assured that my purpose here is not to try to convince or convert you. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. I am here only to ensure that Catholic teaching is fairly and accurately presented.

You may think yourself a pope or a popette, but your commands are without force here. Don't you have an Inquisition you're late for?

In the FReeperverse, your sign-up date matters more than your physical age.

This is Free Republic. You are not the censor. The mod is...as just demonstrated. (Honest, I thought that was an acceptable word in public society.)

Actually, in fact, for a certainty...you do have a lot to prove to every FReeper here. You have openly declared you have come here to disrupt the conversations as you see fit, but give no reason that you should have higher credibility than say...verga.

That will only be relevant if or when I post something worthy of censure.
