Petronski has every right to make almost any statement he wants...

And I did.

This kind of game, deceit, sneaky maneuver, whatever it's called...

It's called post #140 on this thread, but yes, "game," "deceit," "sneaky maneuver" are all accurate enough. "Desperate whingeing" also works to describe #140.

The Geneva Bible was good enough for the Pilgrims and Puritans.

Sad Rome has to look outside the word of God for the truth of Christ risen.

“”All perhaps true, and all irrelevant to the point I was making about the crimes which were committed against his parents and his person when he was a child.””

What's relevant is that Edgar was well taken care of and obviously loved -Our Blessed Lord must have wanted him to become a Franciscan sense he lived a holy life even as a child.He was blessed and our Lord works in mysterious ways as I said before,dear friend

I would be more concerned about the Children's aid society of the 1800’s founded by a sinister man and what was done to Irish catholic children in america- some were indoctrinated into believing the calvinst heresy that poverty was a result of their sinfulness.

Here is an excerpt of what was going on...
http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/the-irish-orphan-abduction/Content?oid=1087070

“The nuns had reason to fear for the kids’ souls. For decades, do-gooder Protestant social workers in New York had virtually kidnapped Irish Catholic urchins off the streets—some of them orphans, some of them not—and shipped them out West.

As historian Maureen Fitzgerald recounts in Habits of Compassion: Irish Catholic Nuns and the Origins of New York's Welfare System, 1830-1920, Irish kids swarmed the sidewalks of New York. These “ulcers of society,” as The New York Times called them, did what they could to put crumbs on the family table, begging, working, rag-picking, stealing.

The best remedy for this plague of disorderly young Papists, Protestant leaders agreed, was to transfer them “into Protestant homes outside the city.”

The legal mechanism for snatching kids away was a truancy law, which permitted any child not in school during school hours to be arrested and brought to a private mission, invariably Protestant. Fitzgerald writes that mission workers had no legal obligation even to contact the parents. If the impoverished mothers and fathers—many of them immigrants, not savvy to the ways of the city—never found them, the children could be legally committed for their entire childhood to the jurisdiction of the agency.

Which is where the notorious orphan trains come in.

A Methodist minister by the name of Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Children's Aid Society, conceived of the trains as an ingenious—and inexpensive—alternative to orphanages for the wretched Irish refuse. Families in the fabled American countryside would take in the street urchins and put them to work in the wholesome outdoors.”

Apropos of nothing, lying about the Pope (and his father) tends to create some ill will too.

Thank God you're not talking about the Catholic Church.

No, you rewrote Uriel's post and passed it off as his own words in italics.

That is deceitful and certainly seems against the rules of any written forum.

No surprise there!

Nope.

But you claim that.

Oh, by the way, I can't help but wonder why you ping the Religion Moderator to the Bloggers & Personal forum.

No complaints, just observations mixed with sadness at the hard-heartedness of people who would use God's Will as a justification for taking a child from its parents JUST so that the child would not be raised as a Jew.Poor Edgar Mortara!Poor Momolo and Marianna Mortara!

I say we start a fundraising effort to help our Romanists friends move from the tyranny of Puritan America to the love of Chavez’ Catholic Venezuela.

Because last week you did this exact same thing to me and my posts on the religion forum that you're now doing to Uriel's posts.

You realize if this kind of deceitful maneuvering is permitted, there is nothing to prevent me from doing the following...

I have rethought me position and I was wrong to believe in the rituals of the RCC and I have now joined the Presbyterian church where I serve the Lord's Supper every firsy Sunday.

Good for you, Petronski!
