Intrigue is a gracious word to use.
Perhaps ET doesn't know that the NT was written in uncials.
The evidence you provide says the opposite.
Normal people IGNORE bores; not RESPOND to them.
(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)
| 1 | Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces. |
| 2. | I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. |
| 3. | The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies |
| 4. | It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. |
| 5. | The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. |
| 6. | Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying Himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise Him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. |
| 7. | Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. |
| 8. | Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. |
| 9. | I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. |
| 10. | The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. |
| 11. | You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. |
| 12. | All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. |
| 13. | I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death |
| 14. | All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. |
| 15. | Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. |
"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem,
no matter how difficult it is, wheter temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary.
There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."

I really need to slow down and read better.
I thought I read COMMUNISM
Just another Prot error I guess...
“You have such boring things to say.”
Paul faced this same response...
“Concerning Him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.”
(Hebrews 5:11)
Undistributed middle.
Great artists have starved in a garret.
I am starving in a garret.
Therefore, I am a great artist.
“I am starving in a garret.”
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a clearer Freudian statement.
No....you're a 9-1-1 TRUTHER just like Rosie O'Donnell.
I seem to remember that Jesus is God and is therefore omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
So there, nyah nyah, and other RF debate tactics.
IIRC, that the second no vote we got.
Not looking good for reasons to want to join the OTC ( tm)
...and they wuzen’t written down; either!!
Aaahhh.
Now you are just plain obsessed with me.
LOL.
Imagine...you and Rosie in the same company.
Ha ha.
You’re just plain obsessed with me! You just can’t stop following me from thread to thread! You just have to keep chiming in!
btw....are you still a Roman Catholic priest? You had claimed to be before.
It's a simple yes or no question.
Say; I remember reading that too; somewhere.
Well, you need to have the right version of the Real Presence, that of "the actual partaking of Christ in person," "the very body" "true and proper and lifegiving flesh and blood of Jesus Christ," whole and entire in His physical "reality,” "with His bodily organs and limb," His flesh being "corporeal, not spiritual" with the actual partaking being of Christ in person, hence literally,” yet not as "sensible, visible, tangible, or extended, although it is such in heaven," but under a "new mode of being," under the mere appearance of non-existent bread and wine, "in each particle and in each drop" until the bread or wine which no longer exist begin to decompose, but which scientifically test as bread and wine (thus persons with celiac disease suffer adverse effects to the non-existent gluten);
And which transubstantiation only a Catholic priest can effect, and sacrifice Christ who is "offered in reparation for the sins of the living and the dead and to obtain spiritual or temporal benefits from God," and "the work of our redemption is carried out,” "the manner alone of offering being different."
Which is then consumed as being “the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us live for ever in Jesus Christ," as as "You are what you eat and the Church becomes the Body of Christ by partaking of the Body of Christ—this is how we come to know Christ, who is Truth."
If that is not the "Real Presence" you believe in, then due to the metaphysical contrivance of Catholicism you too are guilty of heresy, while a docetist Christ (who was real but only appeared to have a real physical body) seems more akin in concept to a "real" substantially present bodily christ who temporarily merely appears as a mere actually non-existent inanimate object, but real (according to the same tests by which His incarnated body would prove to be real).
Certainly Christ can spiritually dwell in us, (Eph. 3:14) and among us, (Matthew 18:20) but that is simply not the Catholic version of "the Real Presence" as described, which system goes to great pains to justify how "this is My body which is broken for you" and "blood which is shed" is not the literal flesh and blood that was broken and shed for us - which a plainly literal reading of the words (which Caths claim they engage in) would mean, but is "the same body" "corporeal, not spiritual," that is not literally the same, but "a new form," under the temporary appearance of inanimate objects which do really do not exist but do, according (as said) to the same tests by which His incarnated body would prove to be real.
It is amazing yet grievous what by erroneous extrapolation the flesh can read into Scripture which fails to teach it. This is not the like the Trinity, a basically simple but non-contradictory explanation demanded by many texts which state facts and reconcile them, which no other explanation which does.
For in addition to teaching such things we do not see in the only inspired record of the NT church which reveals how they understood the gospels, such as as Catholic priests uniquely effecting charges and offering the confection as a sacrifice for sin, and this being a central practice of the church whereby the participants spiritually fed and obtain eternal life, the metaphorical understanding most easily explains and reconciles all the texts, and conflates with the rest of Scripture. Thanks be to God.
Y'all remember ol' Tom; don't you?
The one who said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
I've always wondered why Jesus didn't tell him to lick his finger to get the benefit of the REALLY 'Real Presence'.
But; perhaps He did. After all; hasn't Rome taught it's minions to lean on THIS verse whenever any of it's extraneous teachings are challenged??
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
