Thanks for the memories, but it's time for Christians to unite not fight

Meanwhile, Islam advances.

Ma'am; we have a new booklet out; where Joseph Smith prophesied the Advancement of Islam.

Would you like to pray about it to see if it is true?

[Elsie]

In particular, anti-catholic hatred is like a sport here.

Ha!

This is NOTHING!

You should been around BEFORE AlGore invented the Internet!!!

[Elsie]

I don’t speak to people who think Christianity is a blood sport.

That's an admirable position to take...

[Elsie]

You and your ilk should be ashamed of yourselves. You don’t have a spark of humanity or Christian spirit.

 

        GOT   ILK?       

 

 

[Elsie]

Well, keep up your blood sport. Running “heretics” off of FR, spamming and vicious rhetoric really make converts.

 

 

 

Bernadine: …all gifts, all virtues, and all graces are dispensed by the hands of Mary to whomsoever, when, and as she pleases. O Lady, since thou art the dispenser of all graces, and since the grace of salvation can ONLY come through thy hands, OUR SALVATION DEPENDS ON THEE.

Bonaventure: …the gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary. Blessed are they who know thee, O Mother of God, for the knowledge of THEE is the high road to everlasting life, and the publication of thy virtues is the way of ETERNAL SALVATION . Give ear, O ye nations; and all you who desire heaven , serve, honor Mary, and certainly you will find ETERNAL LIFE.

Ephem: …devotion to the divine Mother…is the unlocking of the heavenly Jerusalem.

Blosius: To the, O Lady, are committed the KEYS and the treasures of the kingdom of Heaven.

Ambrose: …constantly pray ‘Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since thou hast its KEYS.

Fulgetius: …by Mary God descended from Heaven into the world, that by HER man might ascend from earth to Heaven.

Athanasius: …And, thou, O Lady, wast filled with grace, that thou mightiest be the way of our SALVATION and the means of ascent to the heavenly Kingdom.

Richard of Laurence: Mary, in fine, is the mistress of heaven; for there she commands as she wills, and ADMITS whom she wills.

Guerric: …he who serves Mary and for whom she intercedes, is as CERTAIN of heaven as if he were already there…and those who DO NOT serve Mary will NOT BE SAVED.

Anselm: It suffices, O Lady, that thou willest it, and our SALVATION is certain.

Antoninus: …souls protected by Mary, and on which she casts her eyes, are NECESSARILY JUSTIFIED AND SAVED.

... if you replied to each and every Catholic in the way you just did to this young lady, you’d make a lot more friends here than foes.

I see your point...

You don’t have a spark of humanity or Christian spirit.

[Elsie]

Even if you think they are misguided, they are obviously decent Americans deserving of respect.

AHHHhhh...

I find if I don’t answer some of the freaks here, they eventually leave me alone.

[Elsie]

Those who imposed laws and restrictions not from God.

Why do you hate tradition and Mary so much?

[Elsie]

Nope, nasty, vicious blood libels against the Catholic faith are allowed. Even encouraged.

We'll miss you. I already do!

[Elsie]

I see you're returning to your; uh; vom... word saving images.

[Elsie]

When all this is over, it will come down to a matter of each person's relationship with their Creator, not quibbling over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

So true.

So many of us are like the rich young ruler: encumbered by things that drag us down.

[Elsie]

The heretics have so soiled and poisoned the religion forum that it is beyond redemption, and has driven off most of the intelligent committed Christians.

Nothing left but them stinky publicans!

[Elsie]

What they say about fellow Christians says more about their faith than mine...

Some cannot seem to distinguish between an ATTACK on a belief system and an ATTACK on those caught up in one.

[Elsie]

I take very personally your attacks on the church that I love.

It makes Mary cry; too!

[Elsie]

Mostly it’s a few alleged “Evangelicals” damning those Papists...

Doncha just HATE it when stuff like this is trotted out for all to see??

"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. — Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1

Many Catholic have shared with me that they will not contribute to the FReepathons as long as this mode of behavior continues. In fact, there was a time in my FR life when even one negative anti-Catholic post caused me to abandon my Freepathon donation.

This is a nice forum ya got here; I'd hate to see something happen to it.

[Elsie]

Please don’t leave. You have a lot of Catholic knowledge.

Don't worry; I'll still be here.

I'll be GLAD to share MY Catholic knowledge will all of you guys!

[Elsie]

If you choose to take it personally, that’s nothing I can help. That’s your choice.

You offend ALLAH!!!

[Elsie]

I don’t care if anyone “pushes” their religion, as long as they refrain from disparaging mine.

Disparage mine all you want (I attend a Wesleyan congregation).

I'm up for "contending for the faith ONCE given to the saints."
