Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

In every “liberal” heart, a totalitarian fascist is just aching to get out. Prayers for this hellhole on Earth that Mugabe made, Zimbabwe.
I know... how about praying to GOD and not to Mary?
Mary looks very pale and Nordic, wasn’t she from the mideast, dark complexion, dark eyes short stature, and different facial features? Maybe her father was a Viking? I could never picture her as she is portrayed in pictured and statues.
Sounds just like Hussein Obama-- because both of them are lying, posing black supremacist Marxists. Their feel-good "liberal" statements are just a sham.
In 2007, Pope Benedict reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document that said Orthodox churches are defective and that other Christian denominations are not true churches.
I think we have a simular argument these days (politically) about self annointing, and annointing via mass(es).
Check out the Jolsen ‘Jazz Hands’ in the top pix.
Horse Hockey.
Pope Benedict does NOT believe the Orthodox to be “defective”....He is trying hard to restore the ancient Church, and I don’t believe he would be con-celebrating with the Ecumenical Patriarch, if he felt otherwise.
LMAO!
Too bad Bob didn't follow Al's lead and spend his life in a positive way...
If it is, I'll assume also the data was quelled.
If false, no one came back to explain.
Now, to your point ...
I personally believe Echumenicalism is more of another denomination moving closer to Catholicism than Catholicism moving closer to another denomination.
The quote I cited was a re-affirmation that others were defective and Catholicism not.
I cited that quote because of of the comment by Mr. K to philly-d-kidder and Stoat regarding the prayer to Mary, a clearly and exclusively Catholic doctrine.
A difference in doctrine from all non-Catholics, and a legitimite comment The topic of prayer.
It just so happened on a thread regarding Mugabe, but could very easily have been made on any number of topics.

You betcha.
(But don't refer to Leftists as liberals. There's nothing liberal about these people.)
If the U.S. Left (including the Democrat Party and the "Mainstream Newsmedia") could seize enough power, the United States would free-fall into a hellhole just like Zimbabwe.
Think about that, anyone who is tempted not to vote against the Democrat candidates this November. Try to imagine Obama as President with a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives and a filibuster-proof Democrat majority in the U.S. Senate. Try to imagine what these people would appoint to the Supreme Court.
The Democrats MUST be defeated at the polls this November.
Well said, DJ. May I quote you?
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Lord Acton in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887
Tends.
I saw Mary in bath tubs last Sept when I went through Kentucky Indiana and Iowa. The bath tubs were standing up and sunk into the ground about halfway to form a little grotto like the clam shell you picture. I had never seen those before.
In NC we mostly see very large gaudily painted statues (Mary or Jesus) in the front yards of Mexicans. There is one I pass by on the way to the grocery store that is Jesus. He is painted only in gold and white.
