Maison Hullibarger’s father tells the Detroit Free Press that he asked the priest to stop talking during the Dec. 8 funeral Mass. But Jeff Hullibarger says the Rev. Don LaCuesta continued giving a critical sermon at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Temperance.

Hullibarger says some mourners left the church crying.

The archdiocese released a statement Thursday saying it’s sorry that an “unbearable situation was made even more difficult.” The archdiocese says LaCuesta will not preach at funerals “for the foreseeable future.”

...you do not have the authority to define what is Scripture and what isn’t.

 

 

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,

' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'  

[Elsie]

A straight-out commandment like "Choose life, that you and your children may live" isn't good enough for you?

Folks; ya just CAN'T make this stuff UP!!

Call no man father

[Elsie]

And I say again that in order to insult the Church, some folks here come pretty close to excusing the terrible act of suicide.

I've been called ugly by an insulting toad before.

AMEN!!!

Thanks for agreeing with #196 that 'MARY' gets WAY too much attention by your chosen religious organization.

...by how the judges of them apply them.

I see...

[Elsie]

Read it and weep ignore. will be more like it.

Or what is more common - multiple, overlapping excuses as to why it's ok in THIS instance.

[Elsie]

...belonged to some suburban-style, happy-go-lucky church with girl altar-boys and lots of annoying modern hymns continually interrupting the Mass.

Thank GOD that all Catholic churches still use the LATIN mass and haven't caved to them damned modernists that have tried to get rid of Gregorian chants!

[Elsie]

The only near-verbatim equivalent quote I can find, is "treat others as yourself."

HMMMmmm…

I would surmise that THIS is fairly accurate; since it has the imprimatur of...

Matthew 23:9 Douay-Rheims

And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.

[Elsie]

I wonder...

...is it printed in RED in an actual D-R?

[Elsie]

Translated between the years 1582 and 1610 and revised by Bishop Richard Challoner, this is the most accurate English translation of the Bible available today.

It was the only Catholic translation of Scripture commonly in use for over 200 years and we maintain that it is still the best and safest version of the Bible in English.

Translated with profound respect for every word, the beautiful style of the Douay-Rheims Bible will instill in the reader a deeper understanding of the Word of God.

Annotations, references and an historical and chronological index make it convenient for study as well as meditation.

Our Douay Rheims Bible is the only edition available with the words of Christ in red!

Includes updated full color New Testament maps, beautiful pictures depicting the life of Christ.

Complete with Family record and Presentation pages.

This beautiful Bible is available in a durable burgundy leather-soft cover, with gold edges and a ribbon marker and is packaged in an eye catching presentation box.

The souls of the just, however, can be helped by assisting in their purification.

REALLY?

2 Timothy 2:21
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.

[Elsie]

You don't accept that Scripture either, so we seem to be at an impasse.

Uh...

...WHAT 'scripture'?

[Elsie]

Of course the list of sacred texts suitable to use liturgically (that is, per definition, the canon) was clear way before Trent.

Glad to see you admit TRENT was a waste of time.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The unabridged edition.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It was not a waste of time. Re-affirming core truths is never wasted.

[Elsie]

Hullibarger says some mourners left the church crying.

Really?

What a strange funeral!
