I am not sure what I was demonstrating but I think I was pointing out that I was not a hypocrite. I agreed with a quote from John Paul II about God taken from an encyclical that I think is edifying. Mr.PAYNO seemed to think it had something to do with the price of eggs,I guess. I thought it had more to do with the fact that the Bible needed more,like Tradition and the Magisterium to bring the fullness of Truth to the world.Since I had twice heard the biblical scholar,Mr. Clinton justify his position on moral matters,on the absence of information in the Bible on subject,I tossed it in to show the perils of personal interpretation of scripture,or scripture only,or a combination.

It is clear to me that most non-Catholics on this thread seek to convert the Catholic and/or convince them of the error of their ways and the Catholics try to explain why we believe what we believe in case some day you might be looking for something more.

While I think that we would do better if we could work together to change the hearts of the world to Jesus Christ,so that we might all be one,as He and the Father are One,I see no chance of that happening with regard to the regulars on this thread. So I will just keep lurking and posting,using you all to amplify or enlarge my knowledge for other projects I am working on.I do appreciate a lot of input you all give.

Meanwhile I rest easy knowing that for 2000 years many holy and brilliant men and women have been protecting and connecting and developing the Bride of Christ and I don't have to look around for a group of people who feel about Jesus as I do and reinvent the wheel,yet again. I sincerely hope that doesn't sound off-putting because that is not my intent.

I am interested in knowing if anyone on this thread beside myself was born between 1929 and 1946, I have a theory about what went askew with the world.

<2087>hi, saradipity, dadwags here, born 1/3/34 . Educated by Dominicans (1-80) and Jesuits (9-12) and secularly in University .
My 10th grade teacher told a story about a priest who was in Mexico during the persecution (1920's) and , while residing at Loyola U. wrote a book titled "NO God Next Door" The book was an instant sellout hit in New Orleans because people thought he was writing about tulane U.(Tulane U. is adjacent to Loyola U.)
